Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) is a type I protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) that catalyzes the conversion of arginine into monomethylarginine (MMA) and further into asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). CARM1 methylates histone 3 arginines 17 and 26, as well as numerous non-histone proteins including CBP/p300, SRC-3, NCOA2, PABP1, and SAP49, while also functioning as a coactivator for various proteins that have been linked to cancer such as p53, NF-κβ, β-catenin, E2F1 and steroid hormone receptor ERα. As a result, CARM1 is involved in transcriptional activation, cellular differentiation, cell cycle progression, RNA splicing and DNA damage response. It has been associated with several human cancers including breast, colon, prostate and lung cancers and thus, is a potential oncological target. Herein, we present the design and synthesis of a series of CARM1 inhibitors. Based on a fragment hit, we discovered compound 9 as a potent inhibitor that displayed selectivity for CARM1 over other PRMTs.

Here, we describe the synthesis, SAR studies as well as biological investigations of the known Hedgehog signaling agonist SAG and a small library of its analogues. The SAG and its derivatives were analyzed for their potency to activate the expression of the Hh target gene Gli1 in a reporter gene assay. By analyzing SAR important molecular descriptors for Gli1 activation have been identified. SAG as well as compound 10c proven to be potent activators of VEGF expression in cultivated dermal fibroblasts. Importantly and in contrast to SAG, derivative 10c displayed no toxicity in concentrations up to 250 μm.
