Discovery of JMJD7 inhibitors with the aid of virtual screening and bioactivity evaluation

Jumonji-C (JmjC) domain-containing 7 (JMJD7), which is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent oxygenase, has been demonstrated to play an important role in the occurrence and development of a number of diseases, particularly cancer. Discovery of JMJD7 inhibitors is thus of great importance. Herein consensus docking/scoring strategy and bioactivity evaluation were used to identify JMJD7 inhibitors from various chemical databases. Seven active compounds were retrieved. The most potent compound, Cpd-3, showed an IC50 value of 6.62 μM against JMJD7. Further biophysical assays confirmed that Cpd-3 could efficiently bind to JMJD7 in vitro. Flexible docking was used to predict the binding mode of Cpd-3 with JMJD7. In a cellular assay, Cpd-3 displayed good inhibitory activity against cancer cell lines expressing a high level of JMJD7. As far as we know, Cpd-3 is the first JMJD7 inhibitor reported so far. Overall, this study established a good starting point for drug discovery targeting JMJD7.
