Accumulating evidence suggests that the METTL3/METTL14 protein complex, part of the m(6)A regulation machinery, is a key player in a variety of diseases including several types of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and viral infections. Here we report on a protein crystallography-based medicinal chemistry optimization of a METTL3 hit compound that has resulted in a 1400-fold potency improvement (IC(50) of 5 nM for the lead compound 22 (UZH2) in a time-resolved Forster resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay). The series has favorable ADME properties as physicochemical characteristics were taken into account during hit optimization. UZH2 shows target engagement in cells and is able to reduce the m(6)A/A level of polyadenylated RNA in MOLM-13 (acute myeloid leukemia) and PC-3 (prostate cancer) cell lines. 1,4,9-Triazaspiro[5.5]undecan-2-one Derivatives as Potent and Selective METTL3 Inhibitors.,Dolbois A, Bedi RK, Bochenkova E, Muller A, Moroz-Omori EV, Huang D, Caflisch A J Med Chem. 2021 Sep 9;64(17):12738-12760. doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.1c00773. , Epub 2021 Aug 25.
