Abstract:SETD7 is a histone H3K4 lysine methyltransferase involved in human gene regulation. Aberrant expression of SETD7 has been associated with various diseases, including cancer. Therefore, SETD7 is considered a good target for the development of new epigenetic drugs. To date, few selective small‐molecule inhibitors have been reported that target SETD7, the most potent being (R)‐PFI‐2. Herein we report structure–activity relationship studies on (R)‐PFI‐2 and its analogues. A library of 29 structural analogues of (R)‐PFI‐2 was synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of recombinantly expressed human SETD7. The key interactions were found to be a salt bridge and a hydrogen bond formed between (R)‐PFI‐2′s NH2+ group and SETD7′s Asp256 and His252 residue, respectively.
Keywords:(R)-PFI-2  epigenetics  histone lysine methyltransferase  SETD7  structure–  activity relationships
