Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes to the transcriptome that are independent of changes in the genome. The biochemical modifications that govern epigenetics are DNA methylation and… (More)
Lysine and arginine methyltransferases participate in the post-translational modification of histones and regulate key cellular functions. So far only one arginine methyltransferase inhibitor… (More)

Cancer in humans is the result of a multi-step process. This process often involves the activation of oncogenes and/or the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. These two steps arise not only due… (More)
Via virtual screening we identified a thioglycolic amide as an arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) inhibitor and tested it and related compounds against the fungal PRMT RmtA and human PRMT1. Compound… (More)
Lysine and arginine methyltransferases participate in the posttranslational modification of histones and regulate key cellular functions. Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) has been… (More)
Here we report the synthesis of a number of compounds structurally related to arginine methyltransferase inhibitor 1 (AMI-1). The structural alterations that we made included: 1) the substitution of… (More)
Arginine methylation is a common post-translational modification that is crucial in modulating gene expression at multiple critical levels. The arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are envisaged as… (More)
