BRD7/BRD9 inhibitor | BI-7273
Write a review / see user reviewsChemical structure
Highlights
BI-7273 was developed in collaboration with the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC). The potent dual BRD7/BRD9 inhibitor shows 30-fold better potency in the BRD7 AlphaScreen assay compared to our more selective BRD9 inhibitor BI-9564.
BI-7273 binds with high affinity to BRD9 and BRD7 (IC50(BRD9, AlphaScreen) = 19 nM; IC50(BRD7, AlphaScreen) = 117 nM) and is selective versus other BET family members (> 100 µM AlphaScreen). Binding affinity to CECR2 as the only off-target (IC50 (ITC) = 187 nM).
It shows good ADME parameters which make it a suitable probe compound for in vitro and in vivo experiments.1 The negative control BI-6354 is recommended for in vitro experiments.

Target information
The mammalian switch/sucrose nonfermentable (SWI/SNF) complex is one of four mammalian chromatin remodelling complexes. Recurrent inactivating mutations in certain subunits of this complex have been identified in different cancers. Despite its known roles in tumor suppression, the mammalian SWI/SNF complex has recently received attention as a potential target for therapeutic inhibition.2
The human bromodomain family encompasses 61 domains, found on 46 proteins and BRD9 and BRD7 proteins containing a single acetyl-lysine reader bromodomain are components of the chromatin remodelling SWI/SNF BAF complex. A recent study highlighted a role of another SWI/SNF subunit, BRD9, in leukemia growth. The BRD9 bromodomain (BD) was shown to be required for the proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells.3

In vivo pharmacology
No in vivo pharmacological studies have been performed with BI-7273.
Negative control
BI-6354 is available as an in vitro negative control. It shows only very weak potency on BRD9 and BRD7 and no potency on BRD4. Also see the “In vitro activity” section.

Selectivity
BI-7273 was screened on 48 bromodomains and 31 kinases. Beside BRD9 (KD = <1 nM ) and BRD7 (KD = <1 nM) only CECR2 (88 nM) and FALZ (KD = 850 nM) showed a KD < 1 µM in the DiscoverX assay (48 bromodomains). BI-7273 showed a KD of 187 nM in the CECR2 ITC assay, but no cellular effect at 1 µM in FRAP assay. From the 31 kinases only 3 kinases (ACVR1, TGFBR1, ACVR2B) showing an % inhibition of > 43% @10 µM, for which the measured IC50 values were all > 3.5 µM.

Summary
BI-7273 is a potent dual BRD7/BRD9 inhibitor with 30 fold better potency in the BRD7 AlphaScreen assay compared to our more selective BRD9 inhibitor BI-9564.

It shows good ADME parameters which make it a suitable probe compound for in vitro and in vivo experiments to test the biology of BRD7 and BRD9.1,7 The negative control BI-6354 is recommended for in vitro experiments.
