GSK690 (GSK354) is a cell-permeable pyrrolidinylmethoxypyridine-based compound that inhibits lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1; KDM1A) in a potent and reversible manner (IC50 = 90 nM) without affecting MAO-A activity (IC50 >200 μM). GSK690 is shown to induce the expressions of CD86 (EC50 = 1.4 μM in THP1 cells) and LY96 (EC50 = 423 nM in MV4-11 cells), and prevent adipogenesis in murine preadipocyte cultures.
Potent and reversible lysine-specific demethylase LSD1 (KDM1A) inhibitor that induces CD86 and LY96 expression and prevents adipogenesis.

Inhibition of lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has been shown to induce the differentiation of leukemia stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Irreversible inhibitors developed from the nonspecific inhibitor tranylcypromine have entered clinical trials; however, the development of effective

The lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in several cancers including rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). However, little is yet known about whether or not LSD1 may serve as therapeutic target in RMS. We therefore investigated the potential of LSD1 inhibitors alone or
Pharmacologic inhibition of LSD1 promotes blast cell differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with MLL translocations. The assumption has been that differentiation is induced through blockade of LSD1's histone demethylase activity. However, we observed that rapid, extensive, drug-induced changes in transcription occurred
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (KDM1A) is a transcriptional coregulator that can function in both the activation and repression of gene expression, depending upon context. KDM1A plays an important role in hematopoiesis and was identified as a dependency factor in leukemia stem
