Abstract

In MLL-rearranged cancer cells, disruptor of telomeric silencing 1-like protein (DOT1L) is aberrantly recruited to ectop-ic loci leading to local hypermethylation of H3K79 and consequently misexpression of leukemogenic genes. A struc-ture-guided optimization of a HTS hit led to the discovery of DOT1L inhibitors with subnanomolar potency, allowing to test the therapeutic principle of DOT1L inhibition in a preclinical mouse tumor xenograft model. Compounds dis-playing good exposure in mouse and nanomolar inhibition of target gene expression in cell were obtained and tested in vivo
