Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
EPZ004777 inhibits histone methylation (at H379K) by DOT1L. The histone lysine methyltransferase DOT1L has been shown to be involved in the development and maintenance of MLL-rearranged leukemias [1]; rearrangement of the MLL gene and abberant methylation of lysine 79 of histone H3 are associated with some leukemias [1,3]. Treatment with EPZ004777 causes cell death and tumour regression in cell and animal models containing MLL rearrangements [2]. EPZ004777 is >1000-fold selective for DOT1L compared to other histone lysine methyltransferases tested [2].
