EPZ011989 is a potent, selective orally bioavailable EZH2 inhibitor with Ki < 3 nM for EZH2 wt and EZH2 Y646; 15-fold selectivity over EZH1 and >3000-fold selectivity over other HMTase.IC50 value: < 3 nM ( Ki for wt EZH2, EZH2 Y646)Target: EZH2 inhibitorIn vitro: EPZ011989 is also a specific EZH2 inhibitor with a >15-fold selectivity over EZH1 and >3000-fold selectivity relative to the Ki of 20 other histone methyltransferases (HMTs) tested. EPZ011989 also exhibits metabolic stability. Furthermore, EPZ011989 reduces cellular H3K27 methylation in the Y641F, mutant-bearing human lymphoma cell line, WSU-DLCL2, with an IC50 below 100 nM. This functional response translates to activity in a long-term proliferation assay where EPZ011989 demonstrates an average lowest cytotoxic concentration (LCC) in WSU-DLCL2 cells of 208 nM.In vivo: The LCC parameter, when corrected for plasma protein-binding, predicts an efficacious plasma level in mouse for EPZ011989 of 158 ng/mL. The pharmacokinetics in SCID mice following oral administration of 125, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg indicated that the 1000 mg/kg dose provided coverage over the LCC for 24 h, while the 250 and 500 mg/kg doses provided coverage over this value for approximately 8 h. EPZ011989 demonstrates significant tumor growth inhibition in a mouse xenograft model of human B cell lymphoma.

The ability of the scientific community to explore fully the spectrum of EZH2-associated pathobiology has been hampered by the lack of in vivo-active tool compounds for this enzyme. Here we report the discovery and characterization of EPZ011989, a potent, selective, orally bioavailable inhibitor of EZH2 with useful pharmacokinetic properties. EPZ011989 demonstrates significant tumor growth inhibition in a mouse xenograft model of human B cell lymphoma. Hence, this compound represents a powerful tool for the expanded exploration of EZH2 activity in biology.
