Recent research certified that DOT1L and its mutations represented by R231Q were potential targets for the treatment of lung cancer.Herein,a series of adenosine-containing derivatives were iden-tified with DOT1LR231Q inhibition through antiproliferation assay and Western blot analysis in the H460R231Q cell.The most promising compound 37 significantly reduced DOT1LR231Q mediated H3K79 methylation and effectively inhibited the proliferation,self-renewal,migration,and invasion of lung cancer cell lines at low micromolar concentrations.The cell permeability and cellular target engage-ment of 37 were verified by both CETSA and DARTS assays.In the H460R231Q OE cell-derived xenograft(CDX)model,37 displayed pronounced tumor growth inhibition after intraperitoneal administration at 20 mg/kg dose for 3 weeks(TGI=54.38%),without obvious toxicities.A pharmacokinetic study re-vealed that 37 possessed tolerable properties(t1/2=1.93±0.91 h,F=97.2%)after intraperitoneal administration in rats.Mechanism study confirmed that 37 suppressed malignant phenotypes of lung can-cer carrying R231Q gain-of-function mutation via the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.Moreover,anal-ysis of the binding modes between molecules and DOT1LWT/R231Q proteins put forward the"Induced-fit"allosteric model in favor to the discovery of potent DOT1L candidates.
