Title
Discovery of Novel Inhibitors Targeting the Menin-Mixed Lineage Leukemia Interface Using Pharmacophore- and Docking-Based Virtual Screening.
Abstract
Disrupting the interaction between mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) fusion protein and menin provides a therapeutic approach for MLL-mediated leukemia. Here, we aim to discover novel inhibitors targeting the menin-MLL interface with virtual screening. Both structure-based molecular docking and ligand-based pharmacophore models were established, and the models used for compound screening show a remarkable ability to retrieve known active ligands from decoy molecules. Verified by a fluorescence polarization assay, five hits with novel scaffolds were identified. Among them, DCZ_M123 exhibited potent inhibitory activity with an IC50 of 4.71 +/- 0.12 mu M and a K-D of 14.70 +/- 2.13 mu M, and it can effectively inhibit the human MLL-rearranged leukemia cells MV4;11 and KOPN8 with GI(50) values of 0.84 mu M and 0.54 mu M, respectively.
