Sinefungin is a natural nucleoside antibiotic analog of S-adenosylmethionine that inhibits the activity of various methyltransferases (including protein, DNA, and RNA methyltransferases)[1-2]. Sinefungin can be used to explore epigenetic mechanisms and to support research in the development of antiviral, antiparasitic, and antifungal drugs[3-4].
In vitro, Sinefungin (10μM) applied to mouse L cells pre-infected with Newcastle disease virus and vaccinia virus for 72 hours significantly inhibited the formation of viral plaques[5]. Pretreatment of Candida albicans (C. albicans) strains with Sinefungin (0.25–4μM) for 5 days markedly inhibited hyphal elongation and long-term biofilm formation. Co-incubation of HEK293T and H1299 cells with C. albicans in the presence of Sinefungin for 2 hours reduced the ability of C. albicans to infect cells[6].
In vivo, pretreatment of mice with Sinefungin (10mg/kg/day) via intraperitoneal injection for 5 days, followed by induction of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) model (left anterior descending coronary artery ligation for 45 minutes, reperfusion for 24 hours). Sinefungin significantly improves cardiac function (increased ejection fraction and fractional shortening), reduces myocardial infarct size, and loweres serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels[7]. Pretreatment of peritoneal fibrosis model C57/BL6 mice with Sinefungin (10mg/kg) via subcutaneous injection (once daily, 5 days/week for 3 weeks), significantly suppressed the increase in peritoneal cell density and thickening of the subperitoneal compact zone[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | HEK293T cells (human embryonic kidney epithelial cell line) and H1299 cells (human lung epithelial cell line) |
Preparation Method | HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM, and H1299 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640. Both media were supplemented with penicillin-streptomycin and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO₂. For adhesion assays, the SC5314 strain or clinical isolates of Candida albicanswere grown to exponential phase at 30°C in YPD medium. The yeast cells were then collected, washed with PBS, and added to the human epithelial cell cultures at a density of approximately 10⁶cells/mL. Co-cultures were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO₂ and gentle shaking for 2 hours. Human epithelial cells were treated with varying concentrations of Sinefungin (0.25–4μM; for 2h), which was added to the medium concurrently with the C. albicanscells. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.25-4μM; 2h |
Applications | Treatment of Candida albicans with low concentrations of Sinefungin (0.5µM) significantly reduced the adhesion of the fungal cells to both HEK293T and H1299 epithelial cell lines. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | C57BL/6 mice |
Preparation Method | Mice were intraperitoneally administered Sinefungin (10mg/kg) once daily for five consecutive days. Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury was induced by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) for 45 minutes, followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg/day; i.p.; 5 days. |
Applications | Sinefungin significantly ameliorated cardiac I/R injury by reducing myocardial infarct size, improving cardiac function, and decreasing serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. Sinefungin suppressed cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Mechanistically, Sinefungin inhibited METTL1-mediated m7G RNA methylation, leading to decreased CYLD mRNA stability and subsequent suppression of P53 protein accumulation via ubiquitination pathways. |
