Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: GSK-J4 is a cell permeable inhibitor of the histone lysine demethylase KDM6 enzymes, lysine (K)-specific demethylase 6A and 6B (common abbrevations UTX and JMJD3 respectively) [2]. It is the ethyl ester prodrug of GSK-J1. GSK-J4 blocks demethylation of histone H3K27.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
Catalytic activities of the KDM6 proteins are required in inflammatory responses [3], hence inhibition of H3K27 demethylation modulates the proinflammatory macrophage response [3]. GSK-J4 has been shown to increase repressive H3K27me3 marks around transcription start sites of effector cytokine genes and to reduce IFN-γ, TNF-α, GM-CSF, and interleukin-10 levels in cytokine-stimulated natural killer cells [1]. |
