Inhibition of BET family of bromodomain is an appealing intervention strategy for several cancers and inflammatory diseases. This article highlights our work toward the identification of potent, selective, and efficacious BET inhibitors using a structure-based approach focused on improving potency. Our medicinal chemistry efforts led to the identification of compound 24, a novel phenanthridin-6(5H)-one derivative, as a potent (IC50 = 0.24 mu M) and selective BET inhibitor with excellent cancer cell lines inhibitory activities and favorable oral pharmacokinetic properties.
