Description
ML-329 is an inhibitor of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) pathway with an IC50 value of 1.2 μM for promoter activity of the MITF target gene TRPM-1. ML-329 showed specific activity against the MITF-dependent cells, primary melanocytes but no effect on the viability in A375 cells. ML-329 reduced the expression of multiple MITF target genes, including pigment-related genes and the cell cycle regulator CDK2. As a tool compound, ML-329 will be useful in elucidating the role of MITF in melanocyte lineage development and in melanoma disease progression.

How to use
In Vitro:
ML-329 inhibits the expression of numerous micropthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) target genes and blocks the proliferation of numerous cell lines that require MITF for proliferation. ML-329 could directly or indirectly interact with MITF or components of the MITF regulatory network. As a transcription factor that regulates cell cycle and pigmentation, interference of MITF with ML-329 will be useful in characterizing the specific roles of MITF in melanoma and validate blockade of MITF function as a potential treatment of melanoma. ML-329 shows specific activity against the MITF-dependent cells, primary melanocytes but no effect on the viability in A375 cells. ML-329 reduces the expression of multiple MITF target genes, including pigment-related genes and the cell cycle regulator CDK2. As a tool compound, ML-329 will be useful in elucidating the role of MITF in melanocyte lineage development and in melanoma disease progression.
