Disease[BRD4_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BRD4 is found in a rare, aggressive, and lethal carcinoma arising in midline organs of young people. Translocation t(15;19)(q14;p13) with NUT which produces a BRD4-NUT fusion protein.[1] [2] Function[BRD4_HUMAN] Plays a role in a process governing chromosomal dynamics during mitosis (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedPan-BET inhibitors interact equipotently with the eight bromodomains of the BET family of proteins and have shown profound efficacy in a number of in vitro phenotypic assays and in vivo pre-clinical models in inflammation or oncology. A number of these inhibitors have progressed to the clinic where pharmacology-driven adverse events have been reported. To better understand the contribution of each domain to their efficacy and to improve from their safety profile, selective inhibitors are required. This article discloses the profile of GSK046, also known as iBET-BD2, a highly selective inhibitor of the second bromodomains of the BET proteins that has undergone extensive pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo characterisation.
