The histone demethylase LSD1 is a key enzyme in the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. Here we present our efforts to discover small molecule reversible inhibitors of LSD1 as an attractive approach to treat hematologic malignancies and certain solid tumors. Using structure-based drug design, we designed and synthesized a novel series of heteroaromatic imidazole inhibitors that demonstrate potent inhibition of the demethylase activity and low nanomolar cell-based activity. This novel LSD1 inhibitor series was further optimized by attenuating the hERG inhibition and improving oral bioavailability.
