Abstract

The BRPF (Bromodomain and PHD Finger-containing) protein family are important scaffolding proteins for assembly of MYST Histone Acetyltransferase complexes. A selective benzimidazolone BRPF1 Inhibitor showing micromolar activity in a cellular target engagement assay was recently described. Herein, we report the optimization of this series leading to the identification of a superior BRPF1 Inhibitor suitable for in vivo studies.
