Since the first lysine-specific demethylase (KDM), lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), was characterized in 2004, several families of KDMs have been identified. LSD1 can specifically demethylate H3K4me1/2, H3K9me1/2 as well as some nonhistone substrates. It has been demonstrated to be an oncogene as well as a drug target. Hence, tens of small-molecule LSD1 inhibitors have been designed, synthesized and applied for cancer treatment. However, the two LSD1 inhibitors that have been advanced into early phase clinical trials are trans-2-phenylcyclopropylamine (TCP) derivatives, which indicate that TCP is a druggable scaffold for LSD1 inhibitor. Here, we review the design, synthesis and properties of reported TCP-based LSD1 inhibitors as well as their biological roles.
自2004年首个赖氨酸特异性去甲基化酶(KDM)——赖氨酸特异性去甲基化酶1(LSD1)被鉴定以来,已鉴定出多个KDM家族。LSD1可以特异性地使H3K4me1/2、H3K9me1/2以及一些非组蛋白底物去甲基化。它已被证明是一种癌基因以及药物靶点。因此,已经设计、合成了数十种小分子LSD1抑制剂并将其应用于癌症治疗。然而,已进入早期临床试验的两种LSD1抑制剂是反式-2-苯基环丙胺(TCP)衍生物,这表明TCP是LSD1抑制剂的可成药骨架。在此,我们综述了已报道的基于TCP的LSD1抑制剂的设计、合成和性质及其生物学作用。
