Covalent inhibitors meet epigenetics: new opportunities
Epigenetic intervention has become an important therapeutic strategy for a variety of diseases, such as cancer. Although a small number of epigenetic drugs have been marketed, most of these inhibitors are limited by their poor efficacy, dose-dependent toxicity, poor selectivity, and drug resistance. The development of covalent inhibitors has progressed from questioning to resurgence. Its slow dissociation is expected to inject new vitality into epigenetic drugs. In this review, more than 40 covalent inhibitors of 29 epigenetic targets were collated, focusing on their design strategies, reaction mechanisms, covalent warheads and targeted amino acids, and covalent verification methods. Furthermore, this review presented new opportunities based on the current development of covalent inhibitors targeting epigenetic regulators. It is believed that epigenetic covalent inhibitors will lead to more breakthroughs.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original papers and also welcomes critical review papers.
A typical paper would report on the organic synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of compounds. Other topics of interest are drug design, QSAR, molecular modeling, drug-receptor interactions, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present the rational for a study, provide insight into the design of compounds or understanding of mechanism, or clarify the targets.
