A covalent compound selectively inhibits RNA demethylase ALKBH5 rather than FTO
Covalent Modifiers
FEBRUARY 25, 2024
Herein, we used a targeted covalent inhibition strategy and identified a covalent inhibitor, TD19, which selectively inhibits ALKBH5 compared with FTO demethylase in protein-based and tumor cell-based assays. TD19 irreversibly modifies the residues C100 and C267, preventing ALKBH5 from binding to m6A-containing RNA.
