Disruption of EZH2-embryonic ectoderm development (EED) protein-protein interaction (PPI) is a new promising cancer therapeutic strategy. We have previously reported the discovery of astemizole, a small-molecule inhibitor targeting the EZH2-EED PPI. Herein, we report the cocrystal structure of EED in complex with astemizole at 2.15 ?. The structure elucidates the detailed binding mode of astemizole to EED and provides a structure-guided design for the discovery of a novel EZH2-EED interaction inhibitor, DC-PRC2in-01, with an affinityKdof 4.56 μM. DC-PRC2in-01 destabilizes the PRC2 complex, thereby leading to the degradation of PRC2 core proteins and the decrease of global H3K27me3 levels in cancer cells. The proliferation of PRC2-driven lymphomas cells is effectively inhibited, and the cell cycle is arrested in the G0/G1 phase. Together, these data demonstrate that DC-PRC2in-01 could be an effective chemical probe for investigating the PRC2-related physiology and pathology and providing a promising chemical scaffold for further development.

Non-peptidic inhibitors of procollagen C-proteinase (PCP) were designed from substrate leads. Compounds were optimized for potency and selectivity, with N-substituted aryl sulfonamide hydroxamates having the best combination of these properties. Compounds

This paper describes the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of straight chain analogs of a compound (1) that was previously synthesized in our research program. These compounds, which are T-type calcium channel antagonists, exhibits potent anti-proliferative activity against a variety of cancer cells. A structure-activity relationship of these analogs against a variety of cancer cells has provided insight into a logical pharmacophore for this series of compounds. Furthermore, this series of compounds has presented itself as a set of novel, concentration dependent, dual action agonists/antagonists for the T-type calcium channel.
