Popis: | PRMT5 is a type II methyltransferase that specifically adds methyl groups to arginine as a long-lasting post-translational modification. The PRMT5/MEP50 complex regulates a plethora of cellular processes, such as epigenetics and splicing, which are notable events involved in tumorigenesis. Although not frequently mutated or amplified in tumors, elevated PRMT5 protein levels in lung and hematologic cancers are correlated with poorer survival. The PRMT5 inhibitor JNJ-64619178 has been selected as a clinical candidate based on its high selectivity and potency (subnanomolar range) under different in vitro and cellular conditions, paired with favorable pharmacokinetics and safety properties. JNJ-64619178 binds into the SAM binding pocket and reaches the substrate binding pocket to inhibit PRMT5/MEP50 function in a time-dependent manner. Broad cell line panel profiling of JNJ-64619178 revealed a wide range of sensitivity, which is indicative of a genomic dependency instead of a general cytotoxic on-target consequence of PRMT5 inhibition. Further investigations indicate a synthetic lethal correlation between PRMT5 inhibition and key cancer driver pathways. JNJ-64619178, dosed orally (10 mg/kg, every day), showed selective and efficient blockage of the methylation of SMD1/3 proteins, which are crucial components of the spliceosome and substrates of PRMT5/MEP50. JNJ-64619178 also demonstrated tumor regression in a biomarker-driven human small cell lung cancer xenograft model (NCI-H1048) and prolonged tumor growth inhibition after dosing cessation. In rodent and nonrodent toxicology studies, a tolerated dose of JNJ-64619178 has been identified, with the observed toxicity consistent with on-target activity. In summary, JNJ-64619178 has a favorable preclinical package that supports clinical testing in patients diagnosed with lung cancer and hematologic malignancies.
