Development of Novel Inhibitors for Histone Methyltransferase SET7/9 based on Cyproheptadine

The histone methyltransferase SET7/9 methylates not only histone but also non-histone proteins as substrates, and therefore, SET7/9 inhibitors are considered candidates for the treatment of diseases. Previously, our group identified cyproheptadine, used clinically as a serotonin receptor antagonist and histamine receptor (H1) antagonist, as a novel scaffold of the SET7/9 inhibitor. In this work, we focused on dibenzosuberene as a substructure of cyproheptadine and synthesized derivatives with various functional groups. Among them, the compound bearing a 2-hydroxy group showed the most potent activity. On the other hand, a 3-hydroxy group or another hydrophilic functional group such as acetamide decreased the activity. Structural analysis clarified a rationale for the improved potency only by tightly restricted location and type of the hydrophilic group. In addition, a SET7/9 loop, which was only partially visible in the complex with cyproheptadine, became more clearly visible in the complex with 2-hydroxycyproheptadine. These results are expected to be helpful for further structure-based development of SET7/9 inhibitors.

Kinetic Study of the Substitution Reactions of Triphenylphosphine with Chlorobenzyl Chlorides, Dimethylbenzyl Chloride, and Methylbenzyl Bromides in Various Two-Phase Organic Solvent/Water Media

The kinetics of the substitution reactions of triphenylphosphine (TP) with chlorobenzyl chlorides (CBC), 2,5-dimethylbenzyl chloride (DMBC), and methylbenzyl bromides (MBB) in aprotic organic solvent was studied under the extraction by water. The effects of water, agitation, organic solvent, reactant, and temperature were investigated. These reactions take place via the SN2 mechanism and exhibit large and negative entropy of activation. The order of relative activity of solvents is CHCl3 > CH2Cl2 >> C6H6. In CHCl3, the order of relative reactivity of benzyl chloride (BC), benzyl bromide (BB), CBC, DMBC, and MBB toward reaction with TP is 2-MBB > 4-MBB > 3-MBB > BB > DMBC > BC > 2-CBC > 4-CBC > 3-CBC. These reactions produce quantitatively benzyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which are useful for synthesizing Z-form isomers of stilbenes via the two-phase Wittig reaction.
