TAK-418 (C007B-430880)

TAK-418 is a selective, orally active LSD1 (KDM1A) enzyme inhibitor with an IC 50 of 2.9 nM. TAK-418 unlocks aberrant epigenetic machinery and improves autism symptoms in neurodevelopmental disorder models.In VivoTAK-418 (1 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 14 days) ameliorates some autism spectrum disorder (ASD) -like behaviors in neurodevelopmental disorder model rodents . TAK-418 increases H3K4me1/2/3 and H3K9me2 levels at the Ucp2 gene and induced Ucp2 mRNA expression in primary cultured rat neurons. TAK-418 also increases H3K4me1/2/3 at the Bdnf gene. TAK-418 avoids the steric interference with GFI1B in the binding pocket through the generation of a compact formylated adduct form of coenzyme flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). TAK-418 shows a good pharmacokinetic profile in rodents and inhibits LSD1 enzyme activity in the brain without causing hematological toxicity in rodents . Single administration of TAK-418 at 1 or 3 mg/kg increases H3K4me2 levels at Ucp2 gene in the mouse brain . TAK-418 can ameliorate neurological problems at the cellular, molecular, gene expression, and functional levels in a mouse model of KS (Kmt2d +/βGeo mice).
