DMH-1

Additional information:
DMH-1 is a second-generation small molecule BMP inhibitor based on dorsomorphin. DMH-1 effectively inhibits the bone morphogenic protein (BMP) ALK2 receptor (IC50 = 108 nM). Treatment with DMH1 reduced lung metastasis and the tumors were less proliferative and more apoptotic. In the surrounding tumor microenvironment, treatment with DMH1 altered fibroblasts, lymphatic vessels and macrophages to be less tumor promoting. These results indicate that inhibition of BMP signaling may successfully target both the tumor and the surrounding microenvironment to reduce tumor burden and metastasis.|Product information|CAS Number: 1206711-16-1|Molecular Weight: 380.44|Formula: C24H20N4O|Chemical Name: 4-(6-(4-isopropoxyphenyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-3-yl)quinoline|Smiles: CC(C)OC1C=CC(=CC=1)C1=CN2N=CC(=C2N=C1)C1=CC=NC2=CC=CC=C21|InChiKey: JMIFGARJSWXZSH-UHFFFAOYSA-N|InChi: InChI=1S/C24H20N4O/c1-16(2)29-19-9-7-17(8-10-19)18-13-26-24-22(14-27-28(24)15-18)20-11-12-25-23-6-4-3-5-21(20)23/h3-16H,1-2H3|Technical Data|Appearance: Solid Power.|Purity: ≥98% (or refer to the Certificate of Analysis)|Solubility: Soluble in DMSO, not in water|Shipping Condition: Shipped under ambient temperature as non-hazardous chemical or refer to Certificate of Analysis|Storage Condition: Dry, dark and -20 oC for 1 year or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.|Shelf Life: ≥12 months if stored properly.|Stock Solution Storage: 0 – 4 oC for 1 month or refer to the Certificate of Analysis.|Drug Formulation: To be determined.|HS Tariff Code: 382200|How to use|In Vitro:|DMH-1 (0.5 μM) induces regulation of OCT4, Nanog, and PAX6 protein expression. DMH-1 significantly reduces the percentage of cells expressing the pluripotency marker proteins OCT4 and Nanog in both SM3 and CA6 cells. PAX6 expression is significantly up-regulated by day 5 and day 7 in CA6 and SM3 cells, respectively. DMH-1 induces regulation of pluripotency and neural precursor marker mRNAs. PAX6 can regulate the expression of SOX1 independently by manipulating the DMH-1 concentration during the neural induction of hiPSCs. DMH-1 (5 μM and 10 μM) inhibits CDDP-induced autophagy in HeLa cells and enhances the ability of CDDP to reduce HeLa cell viability, inhibits tamoxifen-induced autophagy in MCF-7 cells and enhances the ability of tamoxifen to reduce MCF-7 cell viability, inhibits 5-FU-induced autophagy in both MCF-7 and HeLa cells but does not affect the inhibitory effects of 5-FU on MCF-7 and HeLa cell viability. DMH-1 enhances the apoptotic induction effects of CDDP on HeLa cells after 24 h treatment. DMH-1 inhibits HeLa and MCF-7 cell proliferation[3]. DMH-1 (20 μM) reduces the canonical phosphorylation of Smads 1, 5 and 9. DMH-1 in combination with Cisplatin significantly decreases Ki-67 positive staining in the OVCAR8 cells. DMH-1 (20 µM) upregulates JAG1, reduces CYP1B1 and increases HAPLN1 expression in both OVCAR8 and NCI-RES cells.|In Vivo:|DMH1 (5 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment significantly reduces the tumor growth in human lung cancer xenograft model.|References:|Fotinos A, Nagarajan N, Martins AS, Fritz DT, Garsetti D, Lee AT, Hong CC, Rogers MB.
