Inhibitor Comments
The BCL6 inhibitor 79-6 (PubChem CID 5721353) is commercially available but it is less potent (Kd 138 μM) than the compounds listed in the table above. 79-6 is active in vitro and in vivo, and is reported to be selective for BCL6 over the related transcription factors Kaiso (ZBTB33), HIC1, and PLZF (ZBTB16) [3].

Immunopharmacology Comments
BCL6/corepressor complexes are important for the formation of germinal centers and differentiation and proliferation of lymphocytes. Oncogenic mutations in BCL6 lead to the development of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cells from germinal center B cells. Disruption of BCL6/corepressor complex formation by pharmacological inhibitors has therefore been identified as a novel drug mechanism with potential for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and cancer [2-3].

General Comments
B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) protein is a transcriptional repressor that is involved in protein-protein interactions with corepressors such as CL6 corepressor (BCoR) [4], silencing mediator for retinoid and thyroid receptors (SMRT) [1], and nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR) [5]. Most diffuse large cell lymphomas and many follicular lymphomas contain oncogenic and deregulating mutations in BCL6.
