Description

General description

A cell-permeable, specific DNA methyltransferases inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 115 nM for CpG methylase M.SssI) that displays anti-proliferative, but not cytotoxic, properties. Unlike the commonly used inhibitor 5-azacytidine, RG108 directly interacts with DNA methyltransferase active site via its carboxy group.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Primary Target
CPG methylase M.Sssl

Product does not compete with ATP.

Reversible: no

Packaging

Packaged under inert gas

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Reconstitution

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C.
