Structural highlights
FunctionMETK2_HUMAN Catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. Publication Abstract from PubMedMethionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) has been indicated as a drug target for oncology indications. Clinical trials with MAT2A inhibitors are currently on-going. Here, a structure-based virtual screening campaign was performed on the commercially available chemical space which yielded two novel MAT2A-inhibitor chemical series. The binding modes of the compounds were confirmed with X-ray crystallography. Both series have acceptable physicochemical properties and show nanomolar activity in the biochemical MAT2A inhibition assay and single-digit micromolar activity in the proliferation assay (MTAP -/- cell line). The identified compounds and the relating structural data could be helpful in related drug discovery projects.
