Identification of Potent, Selective, Cell-Active Inhibitors of the Histone Lysine Methyltransferase EZH2
摘要:
The histone H3-lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferase EZH2 plays a critical role in regulating gene expression, and its aberrant activity is linked to the onset and progression of cancer. As part of a drug discovery program targeting EZH2, we have identified highly potent, selective, SAM-competitive, and cell-active EZH2 inhibitors, including GSK926 (3) and GSK343 (6). These compounds are small molecule chemical tools that would be useful to further explore the biology of EZH2.
The present invention relates to a method of treating T cell mediated inflammatory immune diseases or T cell mediated hypersensitivity diseases, which comprises administering to a human in need thereof an effective amount of a compound which inhibits EZH2 and/or EZH1, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
