A novel iridium(III) complex was synthesized and evaluated for its ability to target JMJD2 enzymatic activity. The iridium(III) complex 1 can inhibit JMJD2 activity and was selective for JMJD2 activity over JARID, JMJD3, and HDAC activities. Moreover, 1 suppressed the trimethylation of the p21 promoter on H3K9me3 and interrupted the JMJD2D-H3K9me3 interactions in human cells, suggesting that it could act as an epigenetic modulator. To our knowledge, 1 represents the first metal-based JMJD2 inhibitor reported in the literature.
合成了一种新型铱(III)配合物,并对其靶向JMJD2酶活性的能力进行了评估。铱(III)配合物1能够抑制JMJD2活性,并且相对于JARID、JMJD3和HDAC活性而言,对JMJD2活性具有选择性。此外,1抑制了人细胞中p21启动子在H3K9me3位点的三甲基化,并中断了JMJD2D与H3K9me3之间的相互作用,这表明它可以作为一种表观遗传调节剂。据我们所知,1是文献中报道的首个基于金属的JMJD2抑制剂。
