New synthetic routes to Triazolo-benzodiazepine analogues:expanding the scope of the bump-and-hole approach for selective Bromo and Extra-Terminal (BET) bromodomain inhibition [PDF]
We describe new synthetic routes developed toward a range of substituted analogues of bromo and extra-terminal (BET) bromodomain inhibitors I-BET762/JQ1 based on the triazolo-benzodiazepine scaffold.

BET Bromodomain Proteins as Cancer Therapeutic Targets [PDF]
Epigenetic regulators are emerging therapeutic targets in a wide variety of human cancers. BET bromodomain proteins have been identified as key regulators of oncogenic transcription factors including MYC; therefore, their inhibition might provide a way to block these "undruggable" targets.

BET Bromodomain Inhibition of MYC -Amplified Medulloblastoma [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: MYC-amplified medulloblastomas are highly lethal tumors. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) bromodomain inhibition has recently been shown to suppress MYC-associated transcriptional activity in other cancers. The compound JQ1 inhibits BET bromodomain-containing proteins, including BRD4.

The Drug Vehicle and Solvent N-Methylpyrrolidone Is an Immunomodulator and Antimyeloma Compound
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is a common solvent and drug vehicle. We discovered unexpected antineoplastic and immunomodulatory activity of NMP in a cMYC-driven myeloma model.

The discovery of I-BRD9, a selective cell active chemical probe for bromodomain containing protein 9 inhibition [PDF]
Acetylation of histone lysine residues is one of the most well-studied post-translational modifications of chromatin, selectively recognized by bromodomain “reader” modules.

An RNAi-based dimorphic genetic screen identified the double bromodomain protein BET-1 as a sumo-dependent attenuator of RAS-mediated signalling. [PDF]
Attenuation of RAS/RAF/MAPK signalling is essential to prevent hyperactivation of this oncogenic pathway. In C. elegans, the sumoylation pathway and a combination of histone tail modifications regulate gene expression to attenuate the LET-60 (RAS ...

Benefit of Apabetalone on Plasma Proteins in Renal Disease. [PDF]
Introduction:Apabetalone, a small molecule inhibitor, targets epigenetic readers termed BET proteins that contribute to gene dysregulation in human disorders. Apabetalone has in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory and antiatherosclerotic properties.

Targeting BET Bromodomains in Cancer
Cancer is frequently dependent on aberrant gene expression programs that might be vulnerable to targeting with novel therapeutics. Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins are powerful transcriptional coregulators often found as part of oncogenic transcriptional programs. The bromodomain functionality of BET proteins is highly druggable, and

Interactome Rewiring Following Pharmacological Targeting of BET Bromodomains [PDF]
Targeting bromodomains (BRDs) of the bromo-and-extra-terminal (BET) family offers opportunities for therapeutic intervention in cancer and other diseases. Here, we profile the interactomes of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDT following treatment with the pan-BET BRD inhibitor JQ1, revealing broad rewiring of the interaction landscape, with three distinct ...
