AMI-1 free acid can inhibit the in vitro methylation reactions performed by all five recombinantly active PRMTs (PRMT1, -3, -4, and -6 and Hmt1p).
AMI-1 free acid not only inhibits type I PRMTs (PRMT1, 3, 4 and 6) but also type II PRMT5.
AMI-1 free acid specifically inhibits arginine, but not lysine, methyltransferase activity in vitro and does not compete for the AdoMet binding site.
AMI-1 free acid inhibits methylation of GFP-Npl3 and cellular proteins.
AMI-1 free acid (0.6-2.4 mM; 48-96 hours) inhibits the cell viability of sarcoma in S180 and U2OS cells in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner in vitro.
AMI-1 free acid (1.2-2.4 mM; 48-72 hours) reduces S180 cell viability through the induction of cell apoptosis.
