GSK-LSD1二盐酸盐

GSK-LSD1 is a potent and selective inhibitor of lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1). GSK-LSD1 potently inhibits proliferation of varies cancer cell lines by changing gene expression patterns. GSK-LSD1 inhibits LSD1 with an IC50 of 16 nM and is > 1000 fold selective over other closely related FAD utilizing enzymes (i.e. LSD2, MAO-A, MAO-B). GSK-LSD1 induces gene expression changes in cancer cell lines (average EC50 < 5 nM) and inhibits cancer cell line growth (average EC50 < 5 nM). Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a histone demethylase found in various transcriptional co-repressor complexes. LSD1 is involved in ES cell differentiation, hematopoiesis, and has been described as having a role in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). (http://www.thesgc.org/chemical-probes/GSK-LSD1)
