Identification of non-peptide malignant brain tumor (MBT) repeat antagonists by virtual screening of commercially available compounds.


ABSTRACT: The malignant brain tumor (MBT) repeat is an important epigenetic-code "reader" and is functionally associated with differentiation, gene silencing, and tumor suppression. (1-3) Small molecule probes of MBT domains should enable a systematic study of MBT-containing proteins and potentially reveal novel druggable targets. We designed and applied a virtual screening strategy that identified potential MBT antagonists in a large database of commercially available compounds. A small set of virtual hits was purchased and submitted to experimental testing. Nineteen of the purchased compounds showed a specific dose-dependent protein binding and will provide critical structure-activity information for subsequent lead generation and optimization.
