摘要: The biological role played by non-BET bromodomains remains poorly understood, and it is therefore imperative to identify potent highly selective inhibitors effectively explore the biology of individual bromodomain proteins. A ligand-efficient nonselective inhibitor was identified from a 6-methyl pyrrolopyridone fragment. Small hydrophobic substituents replacing N-methyl group were designed directing toward conserved water pocket, two distinct binding conformations then observed. either directly displaced rearranged solvent network, as in BRD4(1) TAF1(2), or induced narrow channel adjacent lipophilic shelf, BRD9 CECR2. preference for provided selectivity handles useful future lead optimization efforts BRD9, CECR2, TAF1(2) inhibitors.
