Description
RG108 (N-Phthalyl-L-tryptophan) is a potent and cell-permeable inhibitor of DNA methyltransferases with an IC50 of 115 nM. It is widely used in epigenetic research to reactivate silenced genes and has been applied in both cellular and animal studies to investigate DNA methylation's role in development and disease.

Chemical Information

RG108

DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor is any substance that inhibits DNA methyltransferase, an enzyme required for DNA methylation. Inhibition of DNA methyltransferase results in hypomethylation of genomic DNA and cell cycle arrest at S-phase. Hypomethylation in malignant cells may also restore suppressor gene expression and re-establish controlled growth and differentiation.
