FT827 is a selective, covalent ubiquitin-specific protease 7 (USP7; Ki=4.2µM, Kd=7.8µM) inhibitor. FT827 can be used in cancer-related research[1-2].
In vitro, FT827 (0.1-2µM) treated MCF7 breast cancer cells for 60 minutes. FT827 specifically inhibited USP7 activity in cells and did not affect other DUBs including USP47 and USP10[2].
