Disclosed herein are new compounds and compositions and their application as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of diseases. Methods of inhibition of KDM1A, methods of increasing gamma globin gene expression, and methods to induce differentiation of cancer cells in a human or animal subject are also provided for the treatment of diseases such as acute myelogenous leukemia.
HDAC6 selective dual inhibitors to target MM. Our dual inhibitor compound 1 shows superior potency in multiple MM cell lines. In MM.1S xenograft model compound 1 shows superior efficacy compared to single agent LSD1 and HDAC6 inhibitors by oral administration and is well tolerated. Further evaluation of the molecule in other cancers is in progress.
DPP-IV. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) led to the discovery of novel series of DPP-IV inhibitors, having IC50 values of <100 nM with excellent selectivity over the closely related enzymes, DPP8, DPP-II and FAP. The studies identified a potent and selective DPP-IV inhibitor 24b, which exhibited the ability to both significantly inhibit plasma DPP-IV activity in rats and improve glucose tolerance
