valemetostat is an approved drug (Japan (2022))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Valemetostat (DS-3201) is an orally bioavailable, S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-competitive inhibitor of the histone methyltransferases enhancer of zeste homologue 1 and 2 (EZH1/EZH2) [2] that are responsible for tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3) by the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). H3K27me3 is an epigenetic modification that represses transcription of tumour suppressor and cell differentiation genes). Valemetostat was developed to target cancers with ongogenic defects that are driven by excessive activity of EZH1 and EZH2 [4-5].
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use |
Valemetostat (as the tosilate salt) was first approved as a treatment for aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL; a subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma) in Japan in September 2022 [1]. It will also be evaluated for efficacy against advanced/metastatic solid tumours. |
