Tranylcypromine is a non-hydrazine monoamine oxidase inhibitor with a rapid onset of activity. Tranylcypromine has being marketed under original trade name Parnate, indicated for the treatment of major depressive episode without melancholia. Tranylcypromine irreversibly and nonselectively inhibits monoamine oxidase (MAO). Within neurons, MAO appears to regulate the levels of monoamines released upon synaptic firing. Since depression is associated with low levels of monoamines, the inhibition of MAO serves to ease depressive symptoms, as this results in an increase in the concentrations of these amines within the CNS.

4SC-202 is an epigenetic oncology compound with a unique therapeutic profile, which was developed by biotechnology company: 4SC. 4SC-202 works as a selective inhibitor of LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) and HDAC (histone deacetylase) 1, 2 and 3. 4SC-202 also strengthens the endogenous immune response to cancer tissue. This compound demonstrated successfully completed Phase I of the clinical study, where it was proved safe and well tolerated in patients with advanced hematologic cancer. In addition, 4SC-202 shows substantial anti-tumor activity in a broad range of cancer cell lines including hepatocellular carcinoma, Urothelial Carcinoma Cell Lines and colorectal cancer.

GSK2879552 – is an orally available, irreversible, inhibitor of lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, GSK2879552 binds to and inhibits LSD1, a demethylase that suppresses the expression of target genes by converting the dimethylated form of lysine at position 4 of histone H3 (H3K4) to mono- and unmethylated H3K4. LSD1 inhibition enhances H3K4 methylation and increases the expression of tumor-suppressor genes. This may lead to an inhibition of cell growth in LSD1-overexpressing tumor cells. LSD1, overexpressed in certain tumor cells, plays a key role in tumor cell growth and survival. On October 2016 GlaxoSmithKline plans a phase I/II trial for Myelodysplastic syndromes (Monotherapy, Combination therapy, Second-line therapy or greater) in USA, Canada and Europe (PO) (NCT02929498).

ORY-1001 (known as RG 6016) is a Lysine Specific Demethylase 1 (LSD1, also known as KDM1A) inhibitor (IC50 <20nM) with high selectivity against related FAD dependent aminoxidases (MAO-A/B, IL4I1, KDM1B >100uM, SMOX 7uM). LSD1 is a histone eraser enzyme that removes methyl groups, specifically mono and demethylated H3K4 and H3K9, and by doing so regulates the expression of many genes important in the onset and progression of diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. ORY-1001 is a lead drug candidate of Oryzon Genomics S.A. under development for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) – phase I/II and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) – phase I. Oryzon has made significant progress with ORY-1001 over the past years.
