Advances in the Exploration of the Epigenetic Relevant Chemical Space.

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic drug discovery is a promising avenue to find therapeutic agents for treating several diseases and developing novel chemical probes for research. In order to identify hit and lead compounds, the chemical space has been explored and screened, generating valuable bioactivity information that can be used for multiple purposes such as prediction of the activity of existing chemicals, e.g., small molecules, guiding the design or optimization of compounds, and expanding the epigenetic relevant chemical space. Herein, we review the chemical spaces explored for epigenetic drug discovery and discuss the advances in using structure-activity relationships stored in public chemogenomic databases. We also review current efforts to chart and identify novel regions of the epigenetic relevant ch
