Bromodomain Blockade for Intimal Hyperplasia — A Good BET?
Atherosclerosis contributes to heart attack, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease and remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. (Tabas et al., 2015). Atherosclerotic plaques can be treated by revascularization procedures, including angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery, but microtrauma to the blood vessel during these procedures can lead to ...

Selective inhibition of BET bromodomains [PDF]
Epigenetic proteins are intently pursued targets in ligand discovery. So far, successful efforts have been limited to chromatin modifying enzymes, or so-called epigenetic 'writers' and 'erasers'. Potent inhibitors of histone binding modules have not yet been described.

The Functions of BET Proteins in Gene Transcription of Biology and Diseases
The BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal domain) family proteins, consisting of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and testis-specific BRDT, are widely acknowledged as major transcriptional regulators in biology.

Methylpyrrole inhibitors of BET bromodomains [PDF]
An NMR fragment screen for binders to the bromodomains of BRD4 identified 2-methyl-3-ketopyrroles 1 and 2. Elaboration of these fragments guided by structure-based design provided lead molecules with significant activity in a mouse tumor model. Further modifications to the methylpyrrole core provided compounds with improved properties and enhanced ...

Small molecule ligands of the BET-like bromodomain, SmBRD3, affect Schistosoma mansoni survival, oviposition, and development [PDF]
Schistosomiasis is a disease affecting over 200 million people worldwide, but its treatment relies on a single agent, praziquantel. To investigate new avenues for schistosomiasis control, we have conducted the first systematic analysis of bromodomain ...

Two bromodomain proteins functionally interact to recapitulate an essential BRDT-like function in Drosophila spermatocytes [PDF]
In mammals, the testis-specific bromodomain and extra terminal (BET) protein BRDT is essential for spermatogenesis. In Drosophila, it was recently reported that the tBRD-1 protein is similarly required for male fertility.

Dihydropyridine Lactam Analogs Targeting BET Bromodomains
AbstractInhibitors of Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) proteins are investigated for various therapeutic indications, but selectivity for BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT and their respective tandem bromodomains BD1 and BD2 remains suboptimal. Here we report selectivity‐focused structural modifications of previously reported dihydropyridine lactam 6 by ...

Binding hotspots of BAZ2B bromodomain:histone interaction revealed by solution NMR driven docking [PDF]
Bromodomains are epigenetic reader domains, which have come under increasing scrutiny both from academic and pharmaceutical research groups. Effective targeting of the BAZ2B bromodomain by small molecule inhibitors has been recently reported, but no ...

BET inhibitor suppresses migration of human hepatocellular carcinoma by inhibiting SMARCA4
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and poorly responsive cancers worldwide. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors, such as JQ1 and OTX-015, inhibit BET protein binding to acetylated residues in histones.
