Abstract: A series of substituted hydroxymethyl piperidine small molecule inhibitors of the protein-protein interaction between menin and mixed lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) are described. Initial members of the series showed good inhibitory disruption of the menin-MLL1 interaction but demonstrated poor physicochemical and DMPK properties. Utilizing a structure-guided and iterative optimization approach key substituents were optimized leading to inhibitors with cell-based activity, improved in vitro DMPK parameters, and improved half-lives in rodent PK studies leading to MLPCN probe ML399. Ancillary off-target activity remains a parameter for further optimization.
