Ordering Information

Biological Activity

CPI-455 is a potent histone demethylase KDM5 inhibitor, demonstrating an IC50 offor full-length KDM5A and showing over 200-fold selectivity for KDM5 over KDM2, KDM3, KDM4, KDM6, and KDM7 enzymes. By blocking KDM5-mediated demethylation, CPI-455 increases cellular levels of histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3). This targeted inhibition impairs the expansion and survival of drug-tolerant persister cancer cells. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
