CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATION

The present patent application claims benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional

Application No. 62/469,319, filed March 9, 2017, the disicousre of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a compound having an inhibitory activity against SUV39H21 , a method for the preparation thereof and a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound as an active ingredient. The present invention relates to a method for treatment or prevention of a disease that involves overexpression of a histone methyitransferase such as SUV39H2.

BACKGROUND ART

The nucleosome, the basic unit of D A packaging in eukaryotes that consists of a

147-bp DNA wound in sequence around a histone protein core, is a fundamental unit of chromatin structures [Non-Patent Document 1] , All four core histones (H3, H4, H2A and H2B) possess unstructured N-terminal tails and these N-termini of histones are particularly subjected to a diverse array of post-transiational modifications: acetyiation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, SUMQyiation and ADP-ribosylation [Non-Patent Document 2]. These histone modifications cause dynamic changes to the chromatin structure and thereby impinge on transcriptional regulation, DNA replication, DNA repair, and alternative splicing [Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4]. Among these epi genetic marks on histones, the methylation process is particularly crucial for transcriptional regulation [Non-Patent Document 5] . Five lysine residues (H3K4, H3K9, H3K27, H3K36 and

H4K20) are located in the N-terminal tails and are representative lysines that can become mono-, di-, or trimethylated. Whereas H3K9, H3K27 and H4K20 methylation mainly represses transcription, methylation marks on H3K4 and H3K36 are associated with the induction of active transcription [Non-Patent Document 6]. For instance, methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9) is one of the most abundant and stable histone modifications, and is involved in both gene repression and heterochromatin formation. H3K9 can be mono-, di- or trimethylated on H3K9, whereas silent euchromatin regions are enriched for mono- and dimethylated H3K9 [Non-Patent Document 17]. In mammals, heterochromatic regions are highly trimethylated on H3K9, whereas silent euchromatic regions are enriched for mono- and dimethylated H3K9 [Non-Patent Document 17] . H3K9 methylation has been linked to de novo gene silencing and DNA methylation, and it is inherited after mitosis in a manner coupled to DNA methylation ,

It has previously been reported that some hi tone methyltransferases and demethylases are deeply involved in human carcinogenesis [Non-Patent Document 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 ]. For instance, SMYD3, P MTL PRMT6, SUV420H1 and SUV420H2 have been shown to stimulate the proliferation of cells through its enzymatic activity [Patent Document L 8, 9, 12, 13, 14, and 18] .

SUV39H2, also known as KMT1B [Non-Patent Document 15], is a SET-domain containing histone methyltransferase and is known to methyiate the H3K9 lysine residue. Suv39h2, the murine homologue of human SUV39H2, has been isolated and characterized as the second murine Suv39h gene, and demonstrated to share 59% identity with Suv39hl [Non-Patent Document 16] . Hie expression of Suv39h2 is restricted to adult testis, and immunolocalization of endogenous Suv39h2 protein reveals enriched distributions at heterochromatin during the first meiotic prophase and in the early stages of sperminogenesis. During mid-pachytene, Suv39h2 specifically accumulates within the chromatin of the silenced sex chromosomes present in the XY body, hi addition, the histone

methyltransferase activity of Suv39h2 appears to play an important role in regulating higher-order chromatin dynamics during male nieiosis [Non-Patent Document 16] ,

Western blot analjfgis

To evaluate the expression status of SUV39H2 in several cell lines, western blot analysis was perfonned using crude ceil lysate collected from those cells. Anti- SUV39H2 antibody was used to visualize the expression. Cancer cell lines, A549, HCT-116, HFL1, CCD-I8C0 and PC14, expressed SUV39H2 significantly.

Cg : sg-d. ss¾.Y

Active candidate inhibitors against SUV39H2 were evaluated for their target- specific cytotoxicity using A549. 100 micro-L of cell suspension was seeded onto 96-well microliter plate (ViewPlate-96FTC, PerkinElmer). The initial cell concentration of A549 was 3,000 cells/well, 2,000 cells/well and 2,500 cells/well, respectively. Cellular growth was determined using Cell Counting Kit-8 (DOJINDO) at 72 hours after the exposure of the candidate inhibitors. ICso was used as an indicator of the anti-proliferative activity of the inhibitors, and calculated by serial dilution method (0, 1 ,5625, 3.125, 6,25, 12,5, 25, 50, and 100 micro-M). Accurate ICso values were calculated as described previously.
