CMP-5 is a potent, specific, and selective PRMT5 inhibitor, while displays no activity against PRMT1 , PRMT4 , and PRMT7 enzymes. CMP-5 selectively blocks S2Me-H4R3 by inhibiting PRMT5 methyltransferase activity on histone preparations. CMP-5 prevents Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven B-lymphocyte transformation but leaving normal B cells unaffected
In Vitro
CMP-5 (0-100 μM; 24-72 hours) is selectively toxic to lymphoma cells, but shows a limited toxicity to normal resting B lymphocytes even after prolonged incubation. CMP-5 (40 μM; 24 hours) decreases p-BTK and pY(416)SRC expression in 60A cells when it compares to the DMSO-treated group. CMP-5 (0-40 μM; 24 hours) preferentially suppresses the proliferation of human Th1 cells over Th2 cells (43 versus 9% inhibition, respectively). The sensitivity of Th1 cells over Th2 cells to PRMT5 inhibition is different, the IC 50 values are 26.9 μM and 31.6 μM in human Th1 cells and Th2 cells, respectively. CMP-5 (25 μM; 24 hours) alone inhibits mouse Th1 cell proliferation by 91%, when added different doses IL-2, IL-2 enhances proliferation and reaches a peak at 5 ng/ml. MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only. Western Blot AnalysisCell Line: 60A cells Concentration: 40 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited p-BTK and pY(416)SRC protein level. Cell Viability AssayCell Line: Human Th1 cells and Th2 cells Concentration: 25 μM Incubation Time: 24 hours Result: Inhibited mouse Th1 cell proliferation, but addition of IL-2 dose-dependently increased cell proliferation.
