Background:

EPZ-6438 is a potent and bio-available inhibitor of EZH2, the catalytic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzing the methylation of lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27), that inhibits the activity of human PRC2-containing wild-type EZH2 with a value of inhibition constantK_iof 2.5 nM. EPZ-6438 competitively binds to the S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) binding site of EZH2 and also non-competitively binds to the binding sites of peptide or nucleosome substrate. EPZ-6438 selectively inhibits EZH2 with selectivity 35-fold greater than EZH1. Study results have suggested that EPZ-6438 exhibits dramatic and permanent anti-tumor activity in MRT models through synergistic effects of EPZ-6438-mediated EZH2 inhibition on several cancer pathways.
