A cell-permeable GSK126 structural analog that acts as a potent, SAM-, but not substrate-, competitive inhibitor against Ezh1 and Ezh2 (IC50 = 5, 20, 20, 45 nM against PRC2 complex containing Ezh2 wt, Ezh2 Y641F, Ezh2 Y641N, or wt Ezh1 in H3 peptide methylation assays; [SAM] = 5 µM), while exhibiting much reduced or little potency toward panels of 15 other methyltransferases (IC50 >10 µM), 50 kinases (≤20% inhibition at 10µM), as well as 43 GPCRs, transporters, and ion channels, although high affinity binding is observed with Sigma-2 receptor S2R/PGRMC1 (Ki = 65 nM) with unknown impact toward its function. Cellular H3K27me3 level is shown to be largely reduced in MCF10A, MCF7, and DB cells with no significant effect on proliferation upon a 3-day UNC1999 treatment (ICmax = 3 to 5 µM), while complete cell death is reported in the EZH2 Y641N-harboring DLBCL line DB cell culture upon an 8-day 5 µM drug exposure. Exhibits good bioavailability in mice with the plasma drug concentration maintained above 100 nM for 20 h and 24 h, respectively, following a single 50 mg/kg oral or i.p. dosage (Cmax = 4.7 and >9.7 µM, respectively). Both its oral bioavailability and enhanced Ezh1 potency can greatly complement the Ezh2-selective GSK126 in in vitro and in vivo studies.
