Description
CPTH6 hydrobromide is a thiazole derivative that can reduce histone acetylation and histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity in human leukemia cells, CPTH6 is a specific Gcn5/pCAF inhibitor; CPTH6 exerts a significant inhibitory effect on HAT activity of both pCAF and Gcn5, whereas it does not affect p300 and CBP HAT activity; decrease acetylation of histone H3 specifically at lysine 18 in a dose-dependent fashion, does not affect H3 histone methylation at lysines 9 and 4; induces cell-cycle perturbation and apoptosis in AML cells, induces differentiation in AML and neuroblastoma cells; impairs autophagy and reduces autophagosome turnover through an impairment of their degradation pathway
