ABSTRACT
Bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor (BPTF), a bromodomain-containing protein, plays a crucial role in the regulation of downstream gene expression through the specific recognition of lysine acetylation on bulk histones. The dysfunction of BPTF is closely involved with the development and progression of many human diseases, especially cancer. Therefore, BPTF bromodomain has become a promising drug target for epigenetic cancer therapy. However, unlike BET family inhibitors, few BPTF bromodomain inhibitors have been reported. In this study, by integrating docking-based virtual screening with biochemical analysis, we identified a novel selective BPTF bromodomain inhibitor DCB29 with the IC50 value of 13.2⯱â¯1.6⯵M by homogenous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (HTRF) assays. The binding between DCB29 and BPTF was confirmed by NMR and SPR. Molecular docking disclosed that DCB29 occupied the pocket of acetylated H4 peptide substrate and provided detailed SAR explanations for its derivatives. Collectively, DCB29 presented great potential as a powerful tool for BPTF-related biological research and further medicinal chemistry optimization.
