SGC707

Biological Activity

SGC707 is a first-in-class PRMT3 chemical probe which is a potent, selective, and cell-active allosteric inhibitor of PRMT3 with IC50 of 31 nM. SGC707 binds to PRMT3 and reduces PRMT3-dependent H4R3me2a. SGC707 also stabilizes PRMT3 in both HEK293 and A549 cells with EC50 values of 1.3 μM and 1.6 μM, respectively. SGC707 (30 mg/kg, i.p.) gives good plasma exposure over 6 h with the peak plasma level of 38000 nM in CD-1 male mice, which suggests that SGC707 is suitable for animal studies.

Conversion of different model animals based on BSA (Value based on data from FDA Draft Guidelines)

Species	Mouse	Rat	Rabbit	Guinea pig	Hamster	Dog
Weight (kg)	0.02	0.15	1.8	0.4	0.08	10
Body Surface Area (m2)	0.007	0.025	0.15	0.05	0.02	0.5
Km factor	3	6	12	8	5	20

Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by	Animal B Km
	Animal A Km

For example, to modify the dose of resveratrol used for a mouse (22.4 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 22.4 mg/kg by the K_m factor for a mouse and then divide by the K_m factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for resveratrol of 11.2 mg/kg.
