The supplier does not provide quotations for this product through SelectScience. You can search for similar products in our Product Directory.
BIX01294 is a very specific inhibitor of the G9a (IC₅₀ = 1.9 µM) and G9a-like (GLP, IC₅₀ = 0.7 µM) histone methyltransferases. These methyltransferases target the lysine 9 position on histone 3 (H3K9). BIX01294 inhibits G9a and GLP by occupying the histone binding site, preventing interaction with histones (Chang et al., Kubicek et al.). This product is supplied as the trihydrochloride hydrate form of the molecule.
