Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Tazemetostat (EPZ-6438, E7438) is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a histone methyltransferase involved in epigenetic gene silencing. It inhibits both wild-type and mutant EZH2 (e.g., Y641 and A677 mutations) with nanomolar potency—IC₅₀ values of 2.5 nM (Y641N), 11 nM (Y641F), and 4.7 nM (wild-type EZH2) in biochemical assays. In cellular models, Tazemetostat leads to a reduction in trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) and induces antiproliferative effects in EZH2-mutant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma cells. In xenograft models, oral administration of Tazemetostat significantly reduces tumor growth with favorable pharmacokinetic properties and minimal toxicity. These properties support its clinical development, and it is currently FDA-approved for certain relapsed/refractory follicular lymphomas and epithelioid sarcomas.
