Biological Activity
Pinometostat (EPZ-5676) is a potent DOT1L histone methyltransferase inhibitor with a Ki of 80 pM.
In Vitro
Pinometostat (EPZ-5676) inhibits H3K79me2 with IC50 values of 3 nM and 5 nM in MV4-11 and HL60 cells, respectively. Pinometostat (EPZ-5676) is a potent inhibitor of MV4-11 proliferation with an IC50 value of 3.5 nM[1]. Pinometostat (EPZ-5676) induces a synergistic and durable antiproliferative effect, increases expression of differentiation markers and apoptosis as dingle agent, and demonstrates combination benefit in combination with AML standard of care drugs in MLL-r cells[2].
In Vivo
Pinometostat (EPZ-5676) (70 mg/kg, i.p.) causes complete and sustained regression in a rat xenograft model of MLL-rearranged leukemia. Pinometostat (EPZ-5676) (70, 35 mg/kg, i.v.) reduces HOXA9 and MEIS1 mRNA levels of tumors taken from rats, and reduces MLL-fusion target gene expression in vivo[1].
