MM-102

MM-102 is a potent WDR5/MLL interaction inhibitor, achieves IC50 = 2.4 nM with an estimated Ki < 1 nM in WDR5 binding assay, which is >200 times more potent than the ARA peptide.IC50 value: 2.4 nMTarget: MLLin vitro: MM-102 inhibits MLL1 methyltransferase activity and MLL-1-induced HoxA9 and Meis-1 gene expression in leukemia cells expressing the MLL1-AF9 fusion gene. Also inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in leukemia cells harbouring MLL1 fusion proteins. MM-102, with the highest binding affinities to WDR5, also show the most potent inhibitory activity in the HMT assay with IC50 = 0.4-0.9 μM. MM-102 dose-dependently inhibits cell growth in the MV4;11 and KOPN8 leukemia cell lines, which carry MLL1-AF4 and MLL1-ENL fusion proteins, respectively. MM-102 has IC50 = 25 μM in both cell lines and completely inhibits cell growth in these cell lines at 75 μM. MM-102 effectively and selectively inhibits cell growth and induces apoptosis in leukemia cells harboring MLL1 fusion proteins and has minimal effect in leukemia cells with wild-type MLL1 protein.[1]
