Abstract Text | Mislocated enzymatic activity of DOT1L has been proposed as a driver of leukemogenesis in mixed lineage leukemia (MLL). The characterization of EPZ004777, a potent, selective inhibitor of DOT1L is reported. Treatment of MLL cells with the compound selectively inhibits H3K79 methylation and blocks expression of leukemogenic genes. Exposure of leukemic cells to EPZ004777 results in selective killing of those cells bearing the MLL gene translocation, with little effect on non-MLL-translocated cells. Finally, in vivo administration of EPZ004777 leads to extension of survival in a mouse MLL xenograft model. These results provide compelling support for DOT1L inhibition as a basis for targeted therapeutics against MLL. |

EPZ004777 | EPZ4777|EPZ-004777|EPZ 004777 | DOT1L Inhibitor 3 | EPZ004777 is a small molecule that inhibits DOT1L, which results in decreased histone H3 lysine 79 dimethylation, and potentially leads to decreased tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 21741596, PMID: 27535106, PMID: 31888761). |
