Overview
Chaetocin, a natural product originally produced by Chaetomium species, is shown to have apoptotic effects on some cancer cells. Mechanistic studies show that chaetocin is taken up in the cells by a process that requires intact/unreduced disulfides for uptake. Once inside, this compound imposes oxidative stress and consequent apoptosis induction. Other studies have shown chaetocin to reduce lysine-specific histone methyltransferase effects of SUV39H, which play a key role in maintaining stable gene expression patterns during embryonic development and cellular differentiation. Additionally, this agent is reported to cause profound chromatin reorganization in fibroblast nuclei by inducing chromatin condensation/clustering. Consequentially, chaetocin impairs Trx (thioredoxin) systems, which are essential for deoxynucleotide synthesis and involved in a broad range of cellular functions. Chaetocin is an inhibitor of G9a, SUV39H1 and TrxR1.
Non-selective histone lysine methyltransferase inhibitor (IC 50 values are 0.8, 2.5 and 3 μM for Suv39H1, G9a and DIM5 respectively). Competitive, selective thioredoxin substrate. Induces ROS generation and oxidative stress. Selectively induces apoptosis

Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrroloindoles. These are compounds containing a pyrroloindole moiety, which is a tricyclic heterocycle which consists of a pyrrole ring fused to an indole. Pyrrole is 5-membered ring consisting of four carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom. Indole is a bicyclic compound consisting of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered nitrogen-containing pyrrole ring.
