Title
Identification of Novel Disruptor of Telomeric Silencing 1-like (DOT1L) Inhibitors through Structure-Based Virtual Screening and Biological Assays.
Abstract
Histone methyltransferases are involved in many important biological processes, and abnormalities in these enzymes are associated with tumorigenesis and progression. Disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like (DOT1L), a key hub in histone lysine methyltransferases, has been reported to play an important role in the processes of mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL)-rearranged leukemias and validated to be a potential therapeutic target. In this study, we identified, a novel DOT1L inhibitor, DC_L115 (CAS no. 1163729-79-0), by combining structure-based virtual screening with biochemical analyses. This potent inhibitor DC_L115 shows high inhibitory activity toward DOT1L (IC50 = 1.5 mu M). Through a process of surface plasmon resonance-based binding assays, DC_L115 was founded to bind to DOT1L with a binding affinity of 0.6 mu M in vitro. Moreover, this compound selectively inhibits MLL-rearranged cell proliferation with an IC50 value of 37.1 mu M. We further predicted the binding modes of DC_L115 through molecular docking analysis and found that the inhibitor competitively occupies the binding site of S-adenosylmethionine. Overall, this study demonstrates the development of potent DOT1L inhibitors with novel scaffolds.
