ML329
- CID 12387471- Soluble in DMSO
- MF: C16H12N2O4S
- MW: 328.34
Description
ML329 is an inhibitor of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) pathway with an IC50 value of 1.2 μM for inhibition of TRPM-1 promoter activity. ML329 exhibits selective activity against MITF-dependent cells, with IC50 values of 0.1 μM and 0.7 μM in SK-MEL-5 and MALME-3M melanoma cell lines, respectively.
MITF is a lineage-specific transcription factor that functions as a master regulator of melanocyte development, pigmentation, survival, proliferation, and melanoma biology. Aberrant MITF signaling contributes to melanoma progression and therapeutic resistance. ML329 suppresses expression of the cell cycle regulator CDK2 and additionally exhibits CDK1 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.5 μM), making it a valuable chemical probe for studying MITF-dependent transcriptional programs, melanoma cell survival, and cell cycle regulation.
