B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is a highly regulated transcriptional repressor critical for the development and maintenance of germinal centers (GCs). BCL6 is required for generation of an effective humoral immune response and misexpression of BCL6 is widely seen in several forms of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). B cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is a member of the BTB-ZF family of transcription factors. In these proteins, the N-terminal BTB domain binds to epigenetic modifiers (co-repressors) through protein-protein interactions, while the C-terminal zinc fingers mediate site-specific DNA binding [1, 2]. These corepressor proteins use a 17 amino acid motifs to bind to a solvent-exposed “lateral groove” formed by the two chains of the BCL6 BTB homodimer. Agents that bind to the BCL6 BTB lateral groove compete for corepressor binding and can reverse the repression activities of BCL6 [3]. In principle, the selective targeting of protein-protein interactions (PPI’s) in the BCL6 BTB domain is a more precise form of inhibition of BCL6 relative to complete inactivation or removal of the protein. OICR in collaboration with the UHN has developed, a potent, and highly selective BCL6-BTB chemical probe [4]. OICR11029 shows high in vitro as well as cellular potency. OICR11029 is accompanied by a negative control (OICR11600), which is structurally closely related to the probe molecule.
