A Quinquennial Review of Potent LSD1 Inhibitors Explored for the Treatment of Different Cancers, with Special Focus on SAR Studies. Curr Med Chem 2024; 31:152-207. [PMID: 36718063 DOI: 10.2174/0929867330666230130093442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Cancer bears a significant share of global mortality. The enzyme Lysine Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1, also known as KDM1A), since its discovery in 2004, has captured the attention of cancer researchers due to its overexpression in several cancers like acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), solid tumours, etc. The Lysine Specific Demethylase (LSD1) downregulation is reported to have an effect on cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion. Therefore, research to discover safer and more potent LSD1 inhibitors can pave the way for the development of better cancer therapeutics. These efforts have resulted in the synthesis of many types of derivatives containing diverse structural nuclei. The present manuscript describes the role of Lysine Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1) in carcinogenesis, reviews the LSD1 inhibitors explored in the past five years and discusses their comprehensive structural activity characteristics apart from the thorough description of LSD1. Besides, the potential challenges, opportunities, and future perspectives in the development of LSD1 inhibitors are also discussed. The review suggests that tranylcypromine derivatives are the most promising potent LSD1 inhibitors, followed by triazole and pyrimidine derivatives with IC50 values in the nanomolar and sub-micromolar range. A number of potent LSD1 inhibitors derived from natural sources like resveratrol, protoberberine alkaloids, curcumin, etc. are also discussed. The structural-activity relationships discussed in the manuscript can be exploited to design potent and relatively safer LSD1 inhibitors as anticancer agents.

[PMID: 37513188 PMCID: PMC10383809 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28145315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Revised: 07/02/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
As one of the crucial targets of epigenetics, histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is significant in the occurrence and development of various tumors. Although several irreversible covalent LSD1 inhibitors have entered clinical trials, the large size and polarity of the FAD-binding pocket and undesired toxicity have focused interest on developing reversible LSD1 inhibitors. In this study, targeting the substrate-binding pocket of LSD1, structure-based and ligand-based virtual screenings were adopted to expand the potential novel structures with molecular docking and pharmacophore model strategies, respectively. Through drug-likeness evaluation, ADMET screening, molecular dynamics simulations, and binding free energy screening, we screened out one and four hit compounds from the databases of 2,029,554 compounds, respectively. Generally, these hit compounds can be divided into two categories, amide (Lig2 and Comp2) and 1,2,4-triazolo-4,3-α-quinazoline (Comp3, Comp4, Comp7). Among them, Comp4 exhibits the strongest binding affinity. Finally, the binding mechanisms of the hit compounds were further calculated in detail by the residue free energy decomposition. It was found that van der Waals interactions contribute most to the binding, and FAD is also helpful in stabilizing the binding and avoiding off-target effects. We believe this work not only provides a solid theoretical foundation for the design of LSD1 substrate reversible inhibitors, but also expands the diversity of parent nucleus, offering new insights for synthetic chemists.

Anticancer Activity of Chalcones and Its Derivatives: Review and In Silico Studies. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28104009. [PMID: 37241750 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28104009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2023] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Chalcones are direct precursors in the biosynthesis of flavonoids. They have an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl system which gives them broad biological properties. Among the biological properties exerted by chalcones, their ability to suppress tumors stands out, in addition to their low toxicity. In this perspective, the present work explores the role of natural and synthetic chalcones and their anticancer activity in vitro reported in the last four years from 2019 to 2023. Moreover, we carried out a partial least square (PLS) analysis of the biologic data reported for colon adenocarcinoma lineage HCT-116. Information was obtained from the Web of Science database. Our in silico analysis identified that the presence of polar radicals such as hydroxyl and methoxyl contributed to the anticancer activity of chalcones derivatives. We hope that the data presented in this work will help researchers to develop effective drugs to inhibit colon adenocarcinoma in future works.

Discovery of novel N-benzylarylamide-dithiocarbamate based derivatives as dual inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and LSD1 that inhibit gastric cancers. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 252:115281. [PMID: 36940611 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
In this work, N-benzylarylamide-dithiocarbamate based derivatives were designed, synthesized, and their biological activities as anticancer agents were explored. Some of the 33 target compounds displayed significant antiproliferative activities with IC50 values at the double-digit nanomolar level. The representative compound I-25 (also named MY-943) not only showed the most effective inhibitory effects on three selected cancer cells MGC-803 (IC50 = 0.017 μM), HCT-116 (IC50 = 0.044 μM) and KYSE450 (IC50 = 0.030 μM), but also exhibited low nanomolar IC50 values from 0.019 to 0.253 μM against the other 11 cancer cells. Compound I-25 (MY-943) effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization and suppressed LSD1 at the enzymatic levels. Compound I-25 (MY-943) could act on the colchicine binding site of β-tubulin, thus disrupting the construction of cell microtubule network and affecting the mitosis. In addition, compound I-25 (MY-943) could dose-dependently induce the accumulation of H3K4me1/2 (MGC-803 and SGC-7091 cells) and H3K9me2 (SGC-7091 cells). Compound I-25 (MY-943) could induce G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis, and suppress migration in MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells. In addition, compound I-25 (MY-943) significantly modulated the expression of apoptosis- and cycle-related proteins. Furthermore, the binding modes of compound I-25 (MY-943) with tubulin and LSD1 were explored by molecular docking. The results of in vivo anti-gastric cancer assays using in situ tumor models showed that compound I-25 (MY-943) effectively reduced the weight and volume of gastric cancer in vivo without obvious toxicity. All these findings suggested that the N-benzylarylamide-dithiocarbamate based derivative I-25 (MY-943) was an effective dual inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and LSD1 that inhibited gastric cancers.

RSC Adv 2022; 12:35873-35895. [PMID: 36545090 PMCID: PMC9751883 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra05102h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD-1) is an epigenetic enzyme that oxidatively cleaves methyl groups from monomethyl and dimethyl Lys4 of histone H3 and is highly overexpressed in different types of cancer. Therefore, it has been widely recognized as a promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy. Towards this end, we employed various Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) approaches including pharmacophore modelling and machine learning. Pharmacophores generated by structure-based (SB) (either crystallographic-based or docking-based) and ligand-based (LB) (either supervised or unsupervised) modelling methods were allowed to compete within the context of genetic algorithm/machine learning and were assessed by Shapley additive explanation values (SHAP) to end up with three successful pharmacophores that were used to screen the National Cancer Institute (NCI) database. Seventy-five NCI hits were tested for their LSD-1 inhibitory properties against neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, pancreatic carcinoma Panc-1 cells, glioblastoma U-87 MG cells and in vitro enzymatic assay, culminating in 3 nanomolar LSD-1 inhibitors of novel chemotypes.

Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A) has emerged as a promising epigenetic target for disease treatment. Several LSD1 inhibitors have advanced into clinical trials. Following our last annual review on LSD1 inhibitors in 2020 (Eur. J. Med. Chem. 2021, 214, 113254), in this review we aim to update LSD1 inhibitors including natural products, synthetic compounds and cyclic peptides reported during 2021. Design strategies, structure-activity relationships, binding model analysis and modes of action are highlighted. In particular, two FDA-approved antihypertensive drugs raloxifene and fenoldopam were repurposed as reversible LSD1 inhibitors. The clinical candidate TAK-418 for treating neurodevelopmental disorders and PET imaging agent [18F]30 for LSD1 were identified. Moreover, dual inhibitors targeting both LSD1 and HDAC6 or tubulin displayed enhanced anti-cancer effects than single agents. These compounds further enrich the structural types of LSD1 inhibitors.

Abstract
The chalcone and quinoline scaffolds are frequently utilized to design novel anticancer agents. As the continuation of our work on effective anticancer agents, we assumed that linking chalcone fragment to the quinoline scaffold through the principle of molecular hybridization strategy could produce novel compounds with potential anticancer activity. Therefore, quinoline-chalcone derivatives were designed and synthesized, and we explored their antiproliferative activity against MGC-803, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells. Among these compounds, compound 12e exhibited a most excellent inhibitory potency against MGC-803, HCT-116, and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 1.38, 5.34, and 5.21 µM, respectively. The structure-activity relationship of quinoline-chalcone derivatives was preliminarily explored in this report. Further mechanism studies suggested that compound 12e inhibited MGC-803 cells in a dose-dependent manner and the cell colony formation activity of MGC-803 cells, arrested MGC-803 cells at the G2/M phase and significantly upregulated the levels of apoptosis-related proteins (Caspase3/9 and cleaved-PARP) in MGC-803 cells. In addition, compound 12e could significantly induce ROS generation, and was dependent on ROS production to exert inhibitory effects on gastric cancer cells. Taken together, all the results suggested that directly linking chalcone fragment to the quinoline scaffold could produce novel anticancer molecules, and compound 12e might be a valuable lead compound for the development of anticancer agents.

Abstract
As a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent monoamine oxidase, lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A) functions as a transcription coactivator or corepressor to regulate the methylation of histone 3 lysine 4 and 9 (H3K4/9), and it has emerged as a promising epigenetic target for anticancer treatment. To date, numerous inhibitors targeting LSD1 have been developed, some of which are undergoing clinical trials for cancer therapy. Although only two reversible LSD1 inhibitors CC-90011 and SP-2577 are in the clinical stage, the past decade has seen remarkable advances in the development of reversible LSD1 inhibitors. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review about structures, biological evaluation, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of reversible LSD1 inhibitors.

Abstract
Aim: As an important epigenetic modulator, histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has been proved to be associated with the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Discovering novel LSD1 inhibitors offers therapeutic potential for RCC treatment. Methods & Results: We identified raloxifene as a novel LSD1 inhibitor (IC50 = 2.08 μM) through small compound library screening. Molecular docking indicated raloxifene might bind LSD1 in the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding cavity in a reversible manner. Cell viability and migration assays showed raloxifene could suppress the proliferation and migration of RCC cells bearing overexpressed LSD1. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that LSD1 might be a promising therapeutic target for RCC and that raloxifene could serve as a lead compound for further anti-RCC metastasis drug discovery.
