Description and Uses
Chaetocin (28097-69-1) is an antimicrobial fungal metabolite. It was found to be a specific inhibitor of the lysine-specific histone methyltransferase SU(VAR)3-9 (IC50 = 0.6 mM) of Drosophila melanogaster and of its human ortholog (IC50 = 0.8 mM). It acts as a competitive inhibitor for S-adenosylmethionine. The specificity of chaetocin for SU(VAR)3-9 makes this compound an excellent tool for the study of heterochromatin-mediated gene repression. Chaetocin has an antimyeloma activity which has been linked to induction of oxidative stress and subsequent apoptosis.
Chaetocin is an epithiodioxopiperazine antibiotic that has recently shown promise as a selective antitumour agent. Chaetocin is an inhibitor of lysine-specific methyltransferase SU(VAR)3-9 both in vitro and in vivo. Chaetocin is dramatically accumulated in cancer cells via a process inhibited by glutathione. Inside the cell, its activity is mediated by the imposition of oxidative stress.
