EPZ005687 is a potent, selective inhibitor of the lysine methyltranferase EZH2 (Ki = 24 nM), the enzymatic subunit of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2).1 It acts competitively with the EZH2 substrate S-adenosylmethionine.1,2,3 EPZ005687 has greater than 500-fold selectivity against 15 other protein methyltransferases and has 50-fold selectivity against EZH1.1 It blocks trimethylation of the PRC2 target histone 3 lysine 27 (IC50 = 80 nM), decreasing the proliferation of lymphoma cells carrying mutant, but not wild-
