Storage Recommendations

Storage (dry powder):

- 20C

Validation in Cells and Model Organisms

In vitro validation

On target activity

Potency:

IC50

80 ± 16 nM

PDB ID for probe-target interaction (3D structure):

6NM4

Structure-activity relationship:

yes

Off target activity

Potency assay (off target):

Enzyme Activity Assay

Selectivity against non-family targets:

Selectivity against 32 methyltransferases (MTs) were tested at 1 µM and 10 µM of compounds. PRDM9 was the only methyltransferase in a panel of MTs that was inhibited by MRK-740

In cell validation

On target activity in cells

Potency in cells:

IC50

0.8 uM

Potency assay (cells):

H3K4 methylation assay

Target engagement assay (cells):

NanoLuciferase thermal shift assay (NALTSA)

Off target activity in cells

Potency assay, off target (cells):

Eurofins Panlabs

Selectivity against nonfamily targets (cells):

MRK-740 was profiled in a customized panel of 108 enzymes and receptors at Eurofins Panlabs Discovery Services, Taiwan. MRK-740 demonstrated significant (>50% at 10 µM) binding only to Adrenergic α2B, Histamine H3, Muscarinic M2 and Opiate µ receptors. Functional assessment for these four GPCRs in agonist and antagonist mode revealed no functional activity on Adrenergic α2B, Histamine H3 & Muscarinic M2 receptors, and some potential agonistic activity at the Opiate µ receptor.

Toxicity

Cytoxicity assay:

Yes

Notes on cytotoxicity:

10 uM after 4 days.
