Popis: LSD1 has emerged as a potential therapeutic target to increase the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. We have developed a series of novel small molecules, exemplified by the lead substance BEA-17, that modulates LSD1 via binding to an allosteric site, without directly inhibiting its enzymatic activity. In cells, BEA-17 induces a reduction of LSD1 levels. In addition, BEA-17 upregulates the expression of endogenous retroviral genes and T cell-attractant chemokines and does so in an LSD1-dependent manner. In a co-culture of HeLa and PBMCs, BEA-17 increases cell kill of cancer cells by immune effector T cells, also in an LSD1-dependent manner. In a CT26 syngeneic animal model of colon cancer, BEA-17 potentiates the activity of anti-PD1 inhibitors. Finally, in a syngeneic GL261 animal model of glioblastoma, BEA-17 increases the effectiveness of standard-of-care temozolomide + radiation. Citation Format: Wei B.
