Project description:Compounds that inhibit the catalytic function of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) are interesting as therapeutic agents. Recently, we identified three lysine-phenylcyclopropylamine conjugates, NCD18, NCD25, and NCD41, which are potent LSD1 inactivators. However, in our previous study, because we tested those compounds as mixtures of (1S,2R)- and (1R,2S)-disubstituted cyclopropane rings, the relationship between the stereochemistry of the cyclopropane ring and their biological activity remained unknown. In this work, we synthesized optically active compounds of NCD18, NCD25, and NCD41 and evaluated their LSD1 inhibitory activities. In enzyme assays, the LSD1 inhibitory activities of (1R,2S)-NCD18 and (1R,2S)-NCD25 were approximately eleven and four times more potent than those of the corresponding (1S,2R)-isomers, respectively. On the other hand, (1S,2R)-NCD41 was four times more potent than (1R,2S)-NCD41. Binding simulation with LSD1 indicated that the aromatic rings of the compounds and the amino group of the cyclopropylamine were important for the interaction with LSD1, and that the stereochemistry of the 1,2-disubstituted cyclopropane ring affected the position of the aromatic rings and the hydrogen bond formation of the amino group in the LSD1 catalytic site. These findings are expected to contribute to the further development of LSD1 inactivators.

Project description:High resolution imaging spectroscopy data have been recognised as a valuable data resource for augmenting detailed material inventories that serve as input for various urban applications. Image-specific urban spectral libraries are successfully used in urban imaging spectroscopy studies. However, the regional- and sensor-specific transferability of such libraries is limited due to the wide range of different surface materials. With the developed methodology, incomplete urban spectral libraries can be utilised by assuming that unknown surface material spectra are dissimilar to the known spectra in a basic spectral library (BSL). The similarity measure SID-SCA (Spectral Information Divergence-Spectral Correlation Angle) is applied to detect image-specific unknown urban surfaces while avoiding spectral mixtures. These detected unknown materials are categorised into distinct and identifiable material classes based on their spectral and spatial metrics. Experimental results demonstrate a successful redetection of material classes that had been previously erased in order to simulate an incomplete BSL. Additionally, completely new materials e.g., solar panels were identified in the data. It is further shown that the level of incompleteness of the BSL and the defined dissimilarity threshold are decisive for the detection of unknown material classes and the degree of spectral intra-class variability. A detailed accuracy assessment of the pre-classification results, aiming to separate natural and artificial materials, demonstrates spectral confusions between spectrally similar materials utilizing SID-SCA. However, most spectral confusions occur between natural or artificial materials which are not affecting the overall aim. The dissimilarity analysis overcomes the limitations of working with incomplete urban spectral libraries and enables the generation of image-specific training databases.

Project description:BackgroundCC-90011 is an oral, potent, selective, reversible inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) that was well tolerated, with encouraging activity in patients who had advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma. The authors present long-term safety and efficacy and novel pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic data from the first-in-human study of CC-90011.MethodsCC-90011-ST-001 (ClincalTrials.gov identifier NCT02875223; Eudract number 2015-005243-13) is a phase 1, multicenter study in which patients received CC-90011 once per week in 28-day cycles. The objectives were to determine the safety, maximum tolerated dose, and/or recommended phase 2 dose (primary) and to evaluate preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics (secondary).ResultsSixty-nine patients were enrolled, including 50 in the dose-escalation arm and 19 in the dose-expansion arm. Thrombocytopenia was the most common treatment-related adverse event and was successfully managed with dose modifications. Clinical activity with prolonged, durable responses were observed, particularly in patients who had neuroendocrine neoplasms. In the dose-escalation arm, one patient with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma achieved a complete response (ongoing in cycle 58). In the dose-expansion arm, three patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms had stable disease after nine or more cycles, including one patient who was in cycle 46 of ongoing treatment. CC-90011 decreased levels of secreted neuroendocrine peptides chromogranin A, progastrin-releasing peptide, and RNA expression of the blood pharmacodynamic marker monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation-associated.ConclusionsThe safety profile of CC-90011 suggested that its reversible mechanism of action may provide an advantage over other irreversible LSD1 inhibitors. The favorable tolerability profile, clinical activity, durable responses, and once-per-week dosing support further exploration of CC-90011 as monotherapy and in combination with other treatments for patients with advanced solid tumors and other malignancies.

Project description:Enhanced fatty acid synthesis is a hallmark of tumors, including glioblastoma. SREBF1/2 regulate the expression of enzymes involved in fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. Yet, little is known about the precise mechanism regulating SREBP gene expression in glioblastoma. Here, we show that a novel interaction between the co-activator/co-repressor CTBP and the tumor suppressor ZBTB18 regulates the expression of SREBP genes. In line with our findings, metabolic assays and glucose tracing analysis confirm the reduction in several phospholipid species upon ZBTB18 expression. Our study identifies CTBP1/2 and LSD1 as co-activators of SREBP genes and indicates that the functional activity of the CTBP-LSD1 complex is altered by ZBTB18. ZBTB18 binding to the SREBP gene promoters is associated with reduced LSD1 demethylase activity of H3K4me2 and H3K9me2 marks. Concomitantly, the interaction between LSD1, CTBP, and ZNF217 is increased, suggesting that ZBTB18 promotes LSD1 scaffolding function. Our results outline a new epigenetic mechanism enrolled by ZBTB18 and its co-factors to regulate fatty acid synthesis that could be targeted to treat glioblastoma patients.

Project description:The pure four diastereomers (11a-d) of trans-benzyl (1-((4-(2-aminocyclopropyl)phenyl)amino)-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl)carbamate hydrochloride 11, previously described by us as LSD1 inhibitor, were obtained by enantiospecific synthesis/chiral HPLC separation method. Tested in LSD1 and MAO assays, 11b (S,1S,2R) and 11d (R,1S,2R) were the most potent isomers against LSD1 and were less active against MAO-A and practically inactive against MAO-B. In cells, all the four diastereomers induced Gfi-1b and ITGAM gene expression in NB4 cells, accordingly with their LSD1 inhibition, and 11b and 11d inhibited the colony forming potential in murine promyelocytic blasts.

Project description:Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) targets cellular proteins, including histone H3, p53, E2F, and Dnmt1, and is involved in the regulation of gene expression, DNA replication, the cell cycle, and the DNA damage response. LSD1 catalyzes demethylation of histone H3K9 associated with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate early (IE) promoters and is necessary for IE gene expression, viral DNA replication, and reactivation from latency. We previously found that LSD1 associates with HSV-1 replication forks and replicating viral DNA, suggesting that it may play a direct role in viral replication or coupled processes. We investigated the effects of the LSD1 inhibitor SP-2509 on the HSV-1 life cycle. Unlike previously investigated LSD1 inhibitors tranylcypromine (TCP) and OG-L002, which covalently attach to the LSD1 cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) to inhibit demethylase activity, SP-2509 has previously been shown to inhibit LSD1 protein-protein interactions. We found that SP-2509 does not inhibit HSV-1 IE gene expression or transcription factor and RNA polymerase II (Pol II) association with viral DNA prior to the onset of replication. However, SP-2509 does inhibit viral DNA replication, late gene expression, and virus production. We used EdC labeling of nascent viral DNA to image aberrant viral replication compartments that form in the presence of SP-2509. Treatment resulted in the formation of small replication foci that colocalize with replication proteins but are defective for Pol II recruitment. Taken together, these data highlight a potential new role for LSD1 in the regulation of HSV-1 DNA replication and gene expression after the onset of DNA replication.IMPORTANCE Treatment of HSV-1-infected cells with SP-2509 blocked viral DNA replication, gene expression after the onset of DNA replication, and virus production. These data support a potential new role for LSD1 in the regulation of viral DNA replication and successive steps in the virus life cycle, and further highlight the promising potential to utilize LSD1 inhibition as an antiviral approach.

Project description:Leveraging the catalytic machinery of LSD1 (KDM1A), a series of covalent styrenylcyclopropane LSD1 inhibitors were identified. These inhibitors represent a new class of mechanism-based inhibitors that target and covalently label the FAD cofactor of LSD1. The series was rapidly progressed to potent biochemical and cellular LSD1 inhibitors with good physical properties. This effort resulted in the identification of 34, a highly potent (<4 nM biochemical, 2 nM cell, and 1 nM GI50), and selective LSD1 inhibitor. In-depth kinetic profiling of 34 confirmed its covalent mechanism of action, validated the styrenylcyclopropane as an FAD-directed warhead, and demonstrated that the potency of this inhibitor is driven by improved non-covalent binding (K I). 34 demonstrated robust cell-killing activity in a panel of AML cell lines and robust antitumor activity in a Kasumi-1 xenograft model of AML when dosed orally at 1.5 mg/kg once daily.

Project description:Dysregulation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurodevelopmental disorders. Targeting lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), an H3K4 demethylase, is therefore a promising approach to treat these disorders. However, LSD1 forms complexes with cofactors including growth factor independent 1B (GFI1B), a critical regulator of hematopoietic differentiation. Known tranylcypromine-based irreversible LSD1 inhibitors bind to coenzyme flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) and disrupt the LSD1-GFI1B complex, which is associated with hematotoxicity such as thrombocytopenia, representing a major hurdle in the development of LSD1 inhibitors as therapeutic agents. To discover LSD1 inhibitors with potent epigenetic modulation and lower risk of hematotoxicity, we screened small molecules that enhance H3K4 methylation by the inhibition of LSD1 enzyme activity in primary cultured rat neurons but have little impact on LSD1-GFI1B complex in human TF-1a erythroblasts. Here we report the discovery of a specific inhibitor of LSD1 enzyme activity, T-448 (3-((1S,2R)-2-(cyclobutylamino)cyclopropyl)-N-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzamide fumarate). T-448 has minimal impact on the LSD1-GFI1B complex and a superior hematological safety profile in mice via the generation of a compact formyl-FAD adduct. T-448 increased brain H3K4 methylation and partially restored learning function in mice with NMDA receptor hypofunction. T-448-type LSD1 inhibitors with improved safety profiles may provide unique therapeutic approaches for central nervous system disorders associated with epigenetic dysregulation.
