ST 045849 is an inhibitor of O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), with an IC50 value of 53μM[1]. ST 045849 is currently widely used in the research for screening low toxicity OGT inhibitors[2].
In vitro, ST 045849 treatment significantly inhibited the growth of HKCI-2 cells after 72 hours, with an IC50 value of 50.44nM[3]. Mouse embryonic stem cells were treated with ST 045849 (0.2nM) for 30min exhibited the reduced O-GlcNAcylated Notch1 and Notch1 protein expression in the plasma membrane, accompanied by a reduction in glucose production[4]. ST 045849 treatment (15μM; 6h) can significantly reduce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in NE-4C cells cultured under high glucose concentration (500mg/dl)[5]. ST 045849 treatment (0.4mM) for 2h can significantly inhibit the overall O-GlcNAc glycosylation in adipocytes, and induce an increase in the number of small lipid droplets and the appearance of a small number of extremely large lipid droplets in oleic acid-treated adipocytes[6].
In vivo, ST 045849 treatment (20mg/kg/day) via gavage for 4 days in mouse model of diabetic pregnancy significantly reduced the incidence of neural tube defects in the embryos[5].

ST 045849是一种O-GlcNAc转移酶(OGT)抑制剂,IC50值为53μM[1]。ST 045849目前被广泛用于筛选低毒性OGT抑制剂的研究中[2]。
在体外,ST 045849处理72小时后能显著抑制HKCI-2细胞的生长,IC50值为50.44nM[3]。小鼠胚胎干细胞经0.2nM 浓度的ST 045849处理30分钟后,质膜中O-GlcNAc修饰的Notch1蛋白和Notch1蛋白表达均降低,同时伴随葡萄糖生成减少[4]。在高糖浓度(500mg/dl)培养条件下,15μM浓度的ST 045849处理6小时可显著降低NE-4C细胞中的活性氧水平[5]。0.4mM浓度的ST 045849处理2小时能显著抑制脂肪细胞整体O-GlcNAc糖基化水平,并在油酸处理的脂肪细胞中诱导小脂滴数量增加及少量超大脂滴的出现[6]。
在体内,糖尿病妊娠小鼠模型连续4天灌胃给予20mg/kg/day剂量的ST 045849,能显著降低胚胎神经管缺陷的发生率[5]。
