BIX01294 is a histone lysine methyltransferase (HMTase) inhibitor that modulates the epigenetic status of chromatin. It selectively inhibits the G9a HMTase and the generation of histone H3 lysine 9 methylation. BIX01294, when used in combination with HDAC inhibitor Valproic Acid has been used as a replacement for ectopic OCT4 (POU5F1) and cMyc respectively in pluripotent stem cell induction (iPS) recipes. BIX01294 is a useful for the study of histone lysine methylation, differentiation and reprogramming.
