Daminozide, also known as Alar, is a systemic growth regulator registered for use on ornamentals, including potted chrysanthemums and poinsettias, and bedding plants in enclosed structures such as greenhouses, shadehouses, and interiorscapes. It retards stem growth, protects against heat, drought, and frost, and induces the development of multiple flowers. In 1963 it was registered in the USA as a pesticide for use on potted chrysanthemums. In 1968 its use on apples was registered. After toxicology studies, conducted by EPA, demonstrated that daminozide and its metabolites were oncogenic in multiple species and strains of test animals, the use of daminozide on food was discontinued. Later it was found that daminozide is a selective inhibitor of human KDM2/7 histone demethylases.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Carcinogenicity of daminozide was studied in mice and rats after oral administration at doses 5,000 or 10,000 ppm.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Detection of catalytic turnover of methyl-lysine peptide substrates was performed using the lysine demethylase AlphaScreen. The enzyme reaction uses a biotinylated peptide substrate and detection of the biotinylated product is achieved using a methyl mark specific antibody coupled to a protein-A acceptor bead and a streptavidin donor bead that captures the biotin. Upon excitation at 680 nM singlet oxygen is generated by the donor bead and emission of the luminescent signal from the acceptor bead is measured at 520 – 620 nM. Enzyme reactions and subsequent detection of the product were performed in assay buffer consisting of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, BSA (0.1% w/v) and Tween-20 (0.01% v/v).
