Inhibitory Activity Assay: The inhibitory activity of the synthesized compounds above against EZH1 or EZH2 methyltransferase was measured. The experiments were consigned to Reaction Biology, and EZH1 or EZH2 activity was measured using a radiometric scintillation proximity assay. To measure the IC50 of the synthesized compounds for EZH1 or EZH2, 2.3 nmol/L EZH1 or EZH2, 1 μmol/L histone H3 (21-44)-lys(biotin), 1.5 μmol/L S-adenyl methionine (SAM), and 500 nmol/L 3H-SAM were added to the compounds or DMSO with a buffer solution and reacted for 90 minutes at room temperature. The buffer solution was comprised of 50 mmol/L Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 50 mmol/L NaCl, 1 mmol/L EDTA, 1 mmoL/L DTT, 1 mmol/L PMSF and 1% DMSO. Trichloroacetic acid was added to end the reaction, and SPA beads coated with PVT streptavidin were added followed by 1 hour reaction at room temperature. A TopCount NXT plate reader was used to measure the methylation value of the substrate peptide. The measured values were converted to percent activity, setting the mean value for wells treated with DMSO as 100% and the background mean value as 0%.
