JIB-04 has been used in sulforhodamine B cell growth assay. It has also been used as a control to determine the inhibitory action of ML324 on KDM4A (histone lysine demethylase 4A).
Biochem/physiol Actions
JIB-04 is a selective inihibitor of Jumonji demethylases without inhibiting other α-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases or histone-modifying enzymes including amine oxidase LSD1 (also known as KDM1A), which demethylates histone lysines. JIB-04 is a pan-inhibitor of Jumonji demethylases with JARID1A (KDM5A) being the most sensitive (IC50=230 nM) followed by JMJD2D (IC50=290 nM) and JMJD3 (KDM6B) and JMJD2C (KDM4C) more resistant (IC50 855 and 1100 nM, respectively). JIB-04 selectively inhibited viability of several human cancer cell lines with little toxicity towards normal cells, and also diminished tumor growth in two separate xenograft mouse models.
