Tranylcypromine (TCP)-based structural modifications lead to the discovery of new LSD1 inhibitors, of which compounds 26b and 29b effectively inhibit LSD1 with the IC values of 17 and 11 nM, respectively and also show good selectivity over MAO-B. Mechanistic studies showed that compound 29b concentration-dependently induced H3K4me1/2 accumulation in LSD1 overexpressed MGC-803 cells and also inhibited metastasis of MGC-803 cells. Collectively, both compounds could be promising lead compounds for further investigation.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a significant burden on global healthcare systems, especially affecting younger populations, where it is a leading cause of disability and mortality. Current treatments for TBI mainly focus on preventing further brain damage and controlling symptoms. However, despite these approaches, several clinical needs remain unmet.

Gastric cancer (GC) ranks 3rd in incidence rate and mortality rate among malignant tumors in China, and the age-standardized five-year net survival rate of patients with GC was 35.9% from 2010 to 2014. The tumor immune microenvironment (TIME), which includes T cells, macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells and B cells, significantly affects tumor progression, immunosuppression and drug resistance in patients with GC.

Epigenetic dysregulation plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of various cancers, influencing critical processes such as tumor growth, invasion, migration, survival, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Consequently, targeting epigenetic pathways has emerged as a promising strategy for anticancer drug discovery in recent years. However, the clinical efficacy of epigenetic inhibitors, such as HDAC inhibitors, has been limited, often accompanied by resistance.

ATRT is associated with mutational inactivation/deletion of , a member of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, suggesting that epigenetic events play a critical role in tumor development and progression. Moreover, disruption of SWI/SNF allows unopposed activity of epigenetic repressors, which contribute to tumorigenicity.

Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in various solid and hematological tumors, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target, but there are currently no LSD1 inhibitors available on the market. In this study we employed a computer-guided approach to identify novel LSD1/EGFR dual inhibitors as a potential therapeutic agent for non-small cell lung cancer. Through a multi-stage virtual screening approach, we found L-1 and L-6, two compounds with unique scaffolds that effectively inhibit LSD1 with IC values of 6.
