Synthesis and activity of N-oxalylglycine and its derivatives as Jumonji C-domain-containing histone lysine demethylase inhibitors.
N-Oxalylglycine (NOG) derivatives were synthesized, and their inhibitory effect on histone lysine demethylase activity was evaluated. NOG and compound 1 inhibited histone lysine demethylases JMJD2A, 2C and 2D in enzyme assays, and their dimethyl ester prodrugs DMOG and 21 exerted histone lysine methylating activity in cellular assays.
