Design, synthesis and biological activities of pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives as EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homologue 2) inhibitors and anticancer agents

Zeste enhancer homolog 2 (EZH2) is highly expressed in various malignant tumors, which could silence tumor suppressor genes via trimethylation of H3K27. Herein was first reported a novel series of pyrrole-3-carboxamide derivatives carrying a pyridone fragment as EZH2 inhibitors. By combining computational modeling, in vitro cellular assays and further rational structure-activity relationship exploration and optimization, compound DM-01 showed powerful inhibition towards EZH2. DM-01 was found to have significant ability to reduce the cellular H3K27me3 level in K562 cells in the Western blot test. Meanwhile, our data showed that knockdown EZH2 in A549 cells resulted in a decrease of cell sensitivity to DM-01 at 50 and 100 μM. DM-01 could also increase the transcription expression of DIRAS3 in a dose-dependent manner, a tumor suppressor in the downstream of EZH2, suggesting it was worth investigating further as a lead compound.

5-Hydroxyindole-based EZH2 inhibitors assembled via TCCA-catalyzed condensation and Nenitzescu reactions

5-Hydroxyindole derivatives have various demonstrated biological activities. Herein, we used 5-hydroxyindole as a synthetic starting point for structural alterations in a combinatorial process to synthesize 22 different compounds with EZH2 inhibitor pharmacophores. A series of 5-hydroxyindole-derived compounds were screened inhibitory activities against K562 cells. According to molecular modeling and in vitro biological activity assays, the preliminary structure-activity relationship was summarized. Compound L–04 improved both the H3K27Me3 reduction and antiproliferation parameters (IC50 = 52.6 μM). These findings revealed that compound L–04 is worthy of consideration as a lead compound to design more potent EZH2 inhibitors. During the preparation of compounds, we discovered that trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) is a novel catalyst which demonstrates condensation-promoting effects. To gain insight into the reaction, in situ React IR technology was used to confirm the reactivity. Different amines were condensed in high yields with β-diketones or β-ketoesters in the presence of TCCA to afford the corresponding products in a short time (10~20 min), which displayed some advantages and provided an alternative condensation strategy.

Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) has been shown to play a major role in transcriptional silencing in part by installing methylation marks on lysine 27 of histone 3. Dysregulation of PRC2 function correlates with certain malignancies and poor prognosis

Discovery, design, and synthesis of indole-based EZH2 inhibitors

The discovery and optimization of a series of small molecule EZH2 inhibitors is described. Starting from dimethylpyridone HTS hit (2), a series of indole-based EZH2 inhibitors were identified. Biochemical potency and microsomal stability were optimized during these studies and afforded compound 22. This compound demonstrates nanomolar levels of biochemical potency (IC50 = 0.002 μM), cellular potency (EC50 = 0.080 μM), and afforded tumor regression when dosed (200 mpk SC BID) in an EZH2 dependent tumor xenograft model.
