Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Rearrangement of the MLL gene and abberant methylation of lysine 79 of histone H3 are associated with some leukemias [1,3]. The histone lysine methyltransferase DOT1L has been shown to be involved in the development and maintenance of MLL-rearranged leukemias [1]. Pinometostat inhibits histone methylation (at H379K) by DOT1L. Treatment causes cell death and tumour regression in animal models with MLL rearrangements and due to its enhanced bio-availability, has potential for controlling abberant DOT1L activity in some human leukemias [2].
