The formulations may conveniently be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Typically, these methods include the step of bringing into association a compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, of the subject disclosure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof ("active ingredient") with the carrier which constitutes one or more accessory ingredients. In general, the formulations are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. [099] Formulations of the compounds, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof disclosed herein suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units such as capsules, cachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuary or paste.

The compounds described herein can be tested for efficacy in the treatment or prevention of symptoms or indications of NSD-mediated diseases using techniques well known to those in the art. Biological Activity Assays [0150] The biochemical activities of NSD1 and 2 were determined by the HotSpot™ Kinase Assay at Reaction Biology® (Malvern, PA, USA). Briefly, 0.05 mg/mL chicken oligonucleosomes was mixed with 10 nM and 2 nM of NSD1 (Reaction Biology® HMT-21- 139) and NSD2 (Reaction Biology® HMT-21-138), respectively. Upon the treatment of inhibitors at varying concentrations, the reaction mixtures were pre-incubated for 20 min before the addition of 1 µM S-Adenosyl-L-[methyl-3H]methionine. After incubation for 1 h at 30°C, the mixtures were delivered to filter-paper for detection. IC50 values were calculated using GraphPad Prism software. HCC15 Cellular Target Engagement Assay Monitoring H3K36 Dimethylation [0151] Cellular target engagement of NSD1/2/3 was measured via an AlphaLISA (PerkinElmer®, AL723C) readout of H3K36me2 in HCC15 cells. HCC15 cells were cultured in RPMI media (Gibco®, 11875-093) containing 10% FBS (Sigma®, F2442) and 1x PenStrep (Millipore®, TMS-AB2-C). For the Target engagement assay, cells were harvested and resuspended in culture medium. Cells were seeded onto a 384-well white PerkinElmer® Tissue Culture Plate (PerkinElmer®, 6007680) at a density of 1,000 cells/well in a volume of 40 µL. The tissue culture plate was incubated for 24 hours at 37°C with 5% CO 2 and ambient O2. Stock solutions of the test compounds were prepared in 100% DMSO (Sigma®, D2650) and serially diluted 1:3 using 100% DMSO. Compounds were additionally diluted 1:40 in culture medium, and 10 µL/well were transferred to the tissue culture plate. Following the compound addition, the microplate was incubated at 37°C for 72 hours. After the 72 hour incubation, the cell plate was washed one time in PBS. The AlphaLISA assay was performed according to the PerkinElmer® assay manual. The AlphaLISA signal was quantified using the Envision® Multilabel plate reader. Cell viability was performed on a duplicate plate using CellTiter-Glo 2.0 (Promega® G9243) per manufacturer’s instructions.

Following the compound addition, the microplate was incubated at 37°C for 72 hours. After the 72 hour incubation, the AlphaLISA assay was performed using PerkinElmer® AlphaLISA assay kit. 13 µL of 1x cell histone lysis buffer were added to the plate followed by a 15 minute incubation with shaking.15 µL of the cell histone extraction buffer were added followed by a 10 minute incubation with shaking.2.5 µL of H3K36me2 acceptor beads and biotinylated antibody diluted in 1x cell histone detection buffer were added for final concentrations of 20 µg/ml and 3 nM, respectively, followed by a 1 hr incubation.2.5 µL of streptavidin donor beads diluted in 1x cell histone detection buffer were added for a final concentration of 20 µg/mL followed by an overnight incubation in the dark. The AlphaLISA signal was quantified using the Envision® Multilabel plate reader. Cell viability was performed on a duplicate plate using CellTiter-Glo 2.0 (Promega® G9243) per manufacturer’s instructions.
