A Novel G9a Inhibitor Reduces Symptoms in Mouse Models of Alzheimer's Disease
Researchers have unveiled FLAV-27, a novel G9a histone methyltransferase inhibitor that readily crosses the blood‑brain barrier and exhibits subnanomolar potency. The compound demonstrates high selectivity for G9a over related enzymes and a favorable safety profile, addressing the limitations of earlier G9a inhibitors. In vitro, FLAV-27 reduces amyloid‑beta and phosphorylated tau aggregation while restoring neurite complexity. In both C. elegans and mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, it improves mobility, lifespan, and rescues memory, social behavior, and synaptic architecture.
