Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Human Histone Lysine Methyltransferase NSD2 / WHSC1 / MMSET Identified from a Quantitative High-Throughput Screen with Nucleosome Substrate

2017-10-24

Abstract excerpt

The activity of the histone lysine methyltransferase NSD2 is thought to play a driving role in oncogenesis. Both overexpression of NSD2 and point mutations that increase its catalytic activity are associated with a variety of human cancers. While NSD2 is an attractive therapeutic target, no potent, selective and cell-active inhibitors have been reported to date, possibly due to the challenging nature of developing...
