== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Identification of structurally novel inhibitors of lysine methyltransferase G9a has been a subject of intense research in cancer epigenetics. Starting with the high-throughput screening (HTS) hit rac-10a obtained from the chemical library of the University of Tokyo Drug Discovery Initiative, the structure-activity relationship of the unique substrate-competitive inhibitors was established with the help of X-ray crystallography and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculations for the ligand-protein interaction. Further optimization of the in vitro characteristics and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK) properties led to the identification of 26j (RK-701), which is a structurally distinct potent inhibitor of G9a/GLP (IC(50) = 27/53 nM). Compound 26j exhibited remarkable selectivity against other related methyltransferases, dose-dependent attenuation of cellular H3K9me2 levels, and tumor growth inhibition in MOLT-4 cells in vitro. Moreover, compound 26j showed inhibition of tumor initiation and growth in a carcinogen-induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in vivo mouse model without overt acute toxicity.
