Abstract
BRM (SMARCA2) and BRG1 (SMARCA4) are mutually exclusive ATPase subunits of the mSWI/SNF (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex. BAF is an attractive therapeutic target because of its role in transcription, and mutations in the subunits of BAF are common in cancer and neurological disorders. Herein, we report the discovery of compound 1 (FHD-286) as a potent allosteric inhibitor of the dual ATPase subunits from a high-throughput screening hit with a BRM IC50 of ∼27 μM. FHD-286 is an orally bioavailable compound with antitumor activity in mouse xenograft models of uveal melanoma and acute myeloid leukemia and is being evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
