BIX01294 is a selective inhibitor of G9a histone methyltransferase and does not affect SUV39H1(H320R) and PRMT1 within the tested concentration range. BIX-01294 specifically inhibited G9a (H3K9me2) and, to a lesser extent, the closely related GLP enzyme (primarily H3K9me3), with an IC50 of 1.7 μM for G9a and 38 μM for GLP. BIX-01294 inhibits G9a in an uncompetitive manner with SAM. BIX-01294 (4.1μM) reduces H3K9me2 Levels in Bulk Histone Preparations from wt ES cells, mouse embryonic fibroblasts and HeLa cells, but not in G9a deficient stem cells. BIX-01294 is a valuable inhibitor for the transient modulation of chromosomal H3K9me2. BIX-01294 Reduces H3K9me2 at Several G9a Target Genes including Bim1 and Serac1. [1]

BIX01294 could reactivate expression of HIV-1 from latently infected cells such as ACH-2 and OM10.1. [2]
Kinase Assay HMTase Assays
Dissociation Enhanced Lanthanide Fluoro-ImmunoAssays (DELFIA) are performed in white, opaque 384-well plates coated with Neutravidin. Test compounds are diluted to 12 μg/ml in 50mM Tris-HCl pH 8.5containing 4% DMSO and 10 μl isdispensed into the wells. Blank and control wells received only compound buffer. GST-G9a at 10 μg/ml and SAM at 40 μM are diluted in 50mM Tris HCl pH 8.5/10 mM DTT and added in a volume of 20 μL. Blank wells received Tris/DTT buffer only. The reactions are initiated by the addition of 800 nM H3(1-20)-cysbiotin substrate in 50 mM Tris pH 8.5 in a volume of 10 μl, and incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. The plates are washed 3 times with 100 μl of Wash Buffer. Next, 50 μl of Fluoroimmunoassay (FI) Buffer containing 5ng α-2X-di-meth H3-K9 and 5ng goat anti-rabbit Eu chelate isadded to all wells of the plate, and the plate isincubated for an additional hour at room temperature. The plates are washed 3 times with 100 μL of Wash Buffer, and 50 μl of Enhancement Solution isadded to each well. Time resolved fluorescence ismeasured after 45 minutes on a Viewlux Microplate Imager imaging for 15 second.
