Small-molecule inhibitors of lysine methyltransferases SMYD2 and SMYD3: current trends / Edoardo Fabini, Elisabetta Manoni, Claudia Ferroni, Alberto Del Rio, Manuela Bartolini

Lysine methyltransferases SMYD2 and SMYD3 are involved in the epigenetic regulation of cell differentiation and functioning. Overexpression and deregulation of these enzymes have been correlated to the insurgence and progression of different tumors, making them promising molecular targets in cancer therapy even if their role in tumors is not yet fully understood. In this light, selective small-molecule inhibitors are required to fully understand and validate these enzymes, as this is a prerequisite for the development of successful targeted therapeutic strategies. The present review gives a systematic overview of the chemical probes developed to selectively target SMYD2 and SMYD3, with particular focus on the structural features important for high inhibitory activity, on the mode of inhibition and on the efficacy in cell-based and inin vivomodels. in vivo.
