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.

Astemizole is a H1-antagonist endowed with antimalarial activity, but has hERG liabilities. Systematic structural modifications of astemizole led to the discovery of analogues that display very potent activity as inhibitors of the growth of the Plasmodium parasite, but show a decreased hERG inhibition, when compared to astemizole. These compounds can be used as starting point for the development of a new class of antimalarials.

The synthesis of a series N-(4-piperidinyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-amines and the preliminary evaluation of their in vitro and in vivo antihistaminic activity are described. Cyclodesulfurization of (2-aminophenyl) thioureas with mercury(II) oxide resulted in 2-aminobenzimidazole intermediates, which were monoalkylated on the endo-nitrogen atom. After deprotection of the piperideine nitrogen atom with 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid solution, the title compounds were obtained by three different methods, viz. alkylation, reductive amination, or oxirane ring-opening reactions. The in vivo antihistaminic activity was evaluated by the compound 48/80 induced lethality test in rats and histamine-induced lethality test in guinea pigs after oral and/or subcutaneous administration. The duration of action, for a selected number of compounds, was studied in the guinea pig. The phenylethyl derivatives showed the most potent antihistamine properties after oral administration in both animal species.
