Abstract: Fluorinated, phenylethynyl-substituted heterocycles that possessed either an N-methylamino or N,N-dimethylamino group attached to heterocycles including pyridines, indoles, 1H-indazoles, quinolines, and isoquinolines inhibited the proliferation of LS174T colon cancer cells in which the inhibition of cyclin D1 and induction of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor-1 (i.e., p21Wif1/Cip1) served as a readout for antineoplastic activity at a cellular level. On a molecular level, these agents, particularly 4-((2,6-difluorophenyl)ethynyl)-N-methylisoquinolin-1-amine and 4-((2,6-difluorophenyl)ethynyl)-N,N-dimethylisoquinolin-1-amine, bound and inhibited the catalytic subunit of methionine S-adenosyltransferase-2 (MAT2A).
