Usage

Description

SGI-1027, a quinoline derivative, is a potent and selective inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) with IC50 values of 6, 8, and 7.5 μM for DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B, respectively. It has the potential to be used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, as well as a research tool to investigate the role of DNMTs in epigenetic events.

Uses

Used in Cancer Treatment:
SGI-1027 is used as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of cancer due to its ability to inhibit DNA methyltransferase, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and is often dysregulated in cancer cells. Treatment with SGI-1027 results in selective degradation of DNMT1, leading to the reexpression of silenced tumor suppressor genes and disruption of the MKK3-MYC complex, thereby inhibiting MYC transcriptional activity in colon and breast cancer cells.
Used in Research:
SGI-1027 is used as a research tool to investigate the role of DNMTs in epigenetic events, as it provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying gene regulation and the development of cancer.
Used in Combination Therapy:
SGI-1027 is used in combination with conventional chemotherapeutic drugs, such as doxorubicin, to enhance chemo-sensitivity and efficacy in resistant cases. This synergistic effect can improve the overall treatment outcome for patients with neuroblastoma and other cancer types.
Used in Drug Development:
SGI-1027 serves as a starting point for the development of novel drug delivery systems and therapeutic strategies targeting DNA methylation, which could potentially lead to more effective and targeted cancer treatments.

Features

Potential for use in epigenetic cancer therapy.

In vitro

SGI-1027 inhibits DNA methylation by directly inhibiting DNMTs, and results in selective degradation of DNMT1 in a wide variety of human cancer cell lines. SGI-1027 exhibits minimal or no cytotoxic effect in rat hepatoma H4IIE cells.? SGI-1027 (0-100 μM) exhibits a moderate pro-apoptotic effect on U937 human leukemia cell line with no relevant changes on the cell cycle.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SGI-1027 is a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor with IC50 values of 6-13 μM for DNMT3B, DNMT3A and DNMT1. SGI-1027 directly inhibits DNMT activity by competing with the cofactor, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) in the methylation reaction. SGI-1027 treatment of cancer cell lines induced degradation of DNMT1, but not DNMT3A or DNMT3B, and in RKO cells caused re-expression of the silenced tumor supressor genes p16, MLH1 and TIMP3.

Selective non-nucleoside inhibitors of human DNA methyltransferases active in cancer including in cancer stem cells

DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are important enzymes involved in epigenetic control of gene expression and represent valuable targets in cancer chemotherapy. A number of nucleoside DNMT inhibitors (DNMTi) have been studied in cancer, including in cancer stem cells, and two of them (azacytidine and decitabine) have been approved for treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes. However, only a few non-nucleoside DNMTi have been identified so far, and even fewer have been validated in cancer. Through a process of hit-to-lead optimization, we report here the discovery of compound 5 as a potent non-nucleoside DNMTi that is also selective toward other AdoMet-dependent protein methyltransferases. Compound 5 was potent at single-digit micromolar concentrations against a panel of cancer cells and was less toxic in peripheral blood mononuclear cells than two other compounds tested. In mouse medulloblastoma stem cells, 5 inhibited cell growth, whereas related compound 2 showed high cell differentiation. To the best of our knowledge, 2 and 5 are the first non-nucleoside DNMTi tested in a cancer stem cell line.
