Biological Activity
JIB-04 is a pan-selective Jumonji histone demethylase inihibitor with IC50s of 230, 340, 855, 445, 435, 1100, and 290 nM for JARID1A, JMJD2E, JMJD3, JMJD2A, JMJD2B, JMJD2C, and JMJD2D, respectively.
In Vitro
JIB-04 is consistently selective for cancer vs. normal cells, demonstrated by the higher sensitivity of lung and prostate cancer lines (with IC50 as low as 10 nM) compared to HBECs and PrSCs/PrECs. JIB-04 inhibits cellular Jumonji demethylase activity, and Jumonji levels affect JIB-04 action in cells[1]. JIB-04 significantly inhibits the proliferation of GB cell lines and stem-enriched cultures. JIB-04 exerts its maximal inhibitory activity against KDM5A, and modulates the expression of genes involved in the control of cancer cell growth and leads to hypermethylation of H3K4. Furthermore, JIB-04 (2500 nM) activates the autophagy and apoptotic pathways and inactivates PI3K. JIB-04 also cooperates with TMZ in killing GB cells[2].
In Vivo
JIB-04 results in a significant reduction in cancer-induced death rates in mice, prolonging survival[1]. JIB-04 (60, 40 and 20 mg/kg, i.p.) reaches bioactive concentration in the brain of the mice. The orthotopic GB xenograft model shows a trend toward longer survival in JIB-04-treated mice with an Hazard Ratio of 0.5[2].
