Definitions

• the invention relates to chemical compounds having SET8 inhibitory activity and their use in the treatment of diseases and conditions associated with inappropriate methyltransferase activity.
• Epigenetics is inheritable information not encoded in DNA manifested through control of gene expression, thereby controlling a range of cellular activity, including determining cell fate, stem cell fate and regulating proliferation.
• Epigenetic control over gene expression is accomplished in at least four ways: (1) covalent histone modification, (2) covalent DNA modification, (3) histone variation, and (4) nucleosome structure and
• DNA/histone contact points Epigenetic control through one mechanism can influence others suggesting a combinatorial regulation, as evidenced by the methylation of histones being implicated in the modulation of DNA methylation.
• Covalent histone modifications a key mechanism involved in epigenetic control, include: (1) lysine acetylation, (2) lysine and arginine methylation, (3) serine and threonine phosphorylation, (4) ADP-ribosylation, (5) ubiquitination, and (6) SUMOylation.
• Specific enzymatic activities are associated with these modifications and in the case of histone methylation, methyltransferases catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from cofactor S-adenosylmethionine to a lysine or arginine, producing S-adenosylhomocysteine as a byproduct.
• Methyltransferases can also modify residues in other cellular proteins, e.g., the tumor suppressor p53.
• PKMTs protein lysine methyltransferases
• SETD8/SET8/Pr-SET7/KMT5A exchangeable names
• H4K20mel histone H4 lysine 20
• SETD8 Disruption of endogenous SETD8, accompanied with ablation of H4K20 monomethylation, leads to cell cycle defects, chromatin decondensation, and enlarged nuclei, indicating the essential role(s) of SETD8 in DNA replication.
• SETD8 also methylates nonhistone targets such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), the tumor suppressor p53, and a p53- stabilizing factor Numb. Methylation of p53 or Numb results in the downregulation of apoptosis either by antagonizing p53 acetylation, which is required for p53-mediated transcriptional activation, or promoting p53 ubiquitination for degradation.
• PCNA proliferating cell nuclear antigen
• Numb a p53- stabilizing factor
• SETD8 has been further implicated in cancer invasiveness and metastasis through its interaction with TWIST, a master regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).
• EMT epithelial-mesenchymal transition
• SETD8 actas as an epigenetic modifier on the promoters of TWIST target genes, via methylation of H4K20. See, e.g., Yang et al, The EMBO Journal (2012) 31, 110-123.
• SET8 promotes EMT and thus promotes metastatis as demonstrated in Yang et al. for lung and breast carcinomas.
• the invention relates to compounds of Formula (I):
• the compounds are naphthaquinone and azanaphthaquinone derivatives or analogs, which are inhibitors of methyltransferases.
• Compounds presented herein may inhibit the protein lysine methyltransferase SET8. Inhibition of SET8 may disrupt transcriptional regulation, DNA replication, and/or DNA damage response, and ultimately lead to cell cycle defects or apoptosis. Inhibition of SET8 may adversely affect epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT) (e.g., by modulatin the interaction of SET8 with the EMT regulator, TWIST), and reduce the ability of cancer cells to metastasize.
• EMT epithelial- mesenchymal transition
• the invention provides compounds of Formula (III):
• the invention provides pharmaceutical compoistions and kits of a compound described herein (e.g. , a compound of Formula (I), (II), or (III)).

• Pharmaceutical compoistions and kits may also comprise additional pharmaceutical agents (e.g. , anti-cancer agents).
• the invention provides methods of treating a proliferative disease by administering a compound as described herein (e.g. , a compound of Formula (I), (II), or (III)).
• the proliferative disease may be cancer or a metastatic cancer.
• the cancer is leukemia, breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TBNC), or melanoma.
• the cancer is a metastatic cancer, such as metastatic breast cancer or metastatic melanoma.
• the invention provides methods for inhibiting the activity of
• SET8 in a subject by administering to the subject a compound as described herein.
• the activity of SET8 in a biological sample may also be inhibited by contacting a biological sample, such as a cell or tumor, with a compound as described herein.
• the invention provides methods for labelling SET8 or another methyltransferase.
• the compound may be labelled (e.g. , with a radioisotope) and then contacted to SET8, in vivo by administering the labelled compound to a subject, or in vitro by administering the labelled compound ot a biological sample.
