Disclosed are compounds which may be utilized to inhibit transcription by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II), and in particular to disrupt the Super Elongation Complex (SEC). The compounds may be utilized in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating diseases and disorders associated with the biological activity of SEC, and in particular, diseases and disorders that are associated with high levels of expression of genes whose expression is SEC-dependent and that promote, support, or otherwise are required for the disease or disorder such as cancers.

2-Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) aldolase is a key enzyme in the Entner-Doudoroff pathway of bacteria. It catalyzes the reversible production of KDPG from pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate through a class I Schiff base mechanism. On the basis of aldolase mechanistic pathway, various pyruvate analogues bearing beta-diketo structures were designed and synthesized as potential inhibitors. Their capacity to inhibit aldolase catalyzed reaction by forming stabilized iminium ion or conjugated enamine were investigated by enzymatic kinetics and UV-vis difference spectroscopy. Depending of the substituent R (methyl or aromatic ring), a competitive or a slow-binding inhibition takes place. These results were examined on the basis of the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The super elongation complex (SEC) is required for robust and productive transcription through release of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) with its P-TEFb module and promoting transcriptional processivity with its ELL2 subunit. Malfunction of SEC contributes to multiple human diseases including cancer. Here, we identify peptidomimetic lead compounds, KL-1 and its structural homolog KL-2, which disrupt the interaction between the SEC scaffolding protein AFF4 and P-TEFb, resulting in impaired release of Pol II from promoter-proximal pause sites and a reduced average rate of processive transcription elongation. SEC is required for induction of heat-shock genes and treating cells with KL-1 and KL-2 attenuates the heat-shock response from Drosophila to human. SEC inhibition downregulates MYC and MYC-dependent transcriptional programs in mammalian cells and delays tumor progression in a mouse xenograft model of MYC-driven cancer, indicating that small-molecule disruptors of SEC could be used for targeted therapy of MYC-induced cancer.
