Abstact

The discovery and development of structurally distinct lysine methyltransferase G9a inhibitors have been the subject of intense research in epigenetics. Structure-based optimization was conducted, starting with the previously reported seed compound 7a and lead to the identification of a highly potent G9a inhibitor, compound 7i (IC50 = 0.024 μM). X-ray crystallography for the ligand-protein interaction and kinetics study, along with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis, revealed that compound 7i interacts with G9a in a unique binding mode. In addition, compound 7i caused attenuation of cellular H3K9me2 levels and induction of γ-globin mRNA expression in HUDEP-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
