Development of a new class of KAT6A/B inhibitors with in vivo efficacy
作者与单位
摘要 Abstract
KAT6A and KAT6B encode lysine acetyltransferases that catalyse the transfer of acetyl groups from acetyl-CoA to lysine residues on histone proteins, thereby influencing chromatin structure and gene expression. Amplification of these genes is observed in several cancers, with the 8p11-p12 chromosomal region-containing KAT6A-being increased in copy number in approximately 12-15% of breast cancer cases, leading to higher expression of chromatin-modifying enzymes. In this study, we introduce a novel series of acylsulfonamide-benzofuran compounds that function as selective inhibitors of KAT6A and KAT6B. These inhibitors were first identified via high-throughput screening and subsequently refined through computational modelling and co-crystallization studies. The lead compound from this series, BAY-184, demonstrated efficacy in an in vivo proof-of-concept experiment, confirming its potential as a tool for targeting KAT6A/B activity.
