PG - 102-108 LID - S0006-291X(18)32443-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2018.11.037 [doi] AB - The NSD family (NSD1, NSD2/MMSET/WHSC1, and NSD3/WHSC1L1) are histone lysine methyltransferases (HMTases) essential for chromatin regulation. The NSDs are oncoproteins, drivers of a number of tumors and are considered important drug-targets but the lack of potent and selective inhibitors hampers further therapeutic development and limits exploration of their biology. In particular, MMSET/NSD2 selective inhibition is being pursued for therapeutic interventions against multiple myeloma (MM) cases, especially in multiple myeloma t(4;14)(p16.3;q32) translocation that is associated with a significantly worse prognosis than other MM subgroups. Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy, after non-Hodgkin lymphoma and remains an incurable malignancy. Here we report the discovery of LEM-14, an NSD2 specific inhibitor with an in vitro IC(50) of 132 muM and that is inactive against the closely related NSD1 and NSD3. LEM-14-1189, a LEM-14 derivative, differentially inhibits the NSDs with in vitro IC(50) of 418 muM (NSD1), IC(50) of 111 muM (NSD2) and IC(50) of 60 muM (NSD3). We propose LEM-14 and derivative LEM-14-1189 as tools for studying the biology of the NSDs and constitute meaningful steps toward potent NSDs therapeutic inhibitors.
