GSK-126 is an inhibitor of mutant EZH2, a histone methyltransferase (HMT) that exhibits point mutations at key residues Tyr641 and Ala677; this compound does not appreciably affect WT EZH2. EZH2 is responsible for modulating expression of a variety of genes. GSK-126 competes with cofactor S-adenylmethionine (SAM) for binding to EZH2. GSK-126 displays anticancer chemotherapeutic activity by inhibiting proliferation in in vitro and in vivo models of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

6-Bromo-1-(sec-butyl)-N-((4,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-1 ,2-dihydropyridin-3-yl)methy methyl-1 H-indole-4-carboxamide (racemic mixture, 1.9 g) was resolved by chiral HPLC (column : Chiralpak AD-H, 5 microns, 50 mm x 250 mm, UV detection :240 nM, flow rate: 100 mL/min, T = 20 deg C, eluent: 60:40:0.1 n-heptane:ethanol:isopropylamine

(isocratic)). For each run, 100 mg of the racemic compound was dissolved in 30 volumes (3.0 ml.) of warm ethanol with a few drops of isopropylamine added. A total of 19 runs were performed. Baseline resolution was observed for each run. The isomer that eluted at 8.3-10.1 min was collected (following concentration) as a white solid, which was dried at 50 °C (< 5 mm Hg) to afford 901 mg, and was determined to be the S isomer^* (Ex. 267; chiral HPLC: >99.5% ee (no R isomer detected). The isomer that eluted at 10.8-13.0 min was collected as a white solid, which was dried at 50 °C (< 5 mm Hg) to afford 865 mg, and was determined to be the R isomer^* (Ex. 268; chiral HPLC: 99.2% ee; 0.4% S isomer detected). ¹H NMR and LCMS were consistent with the parent racemate.

* The absolute configuration was determined by an independent synthesis of each enantiomer from the corresponding commercially available homochiral alcohols via Mitsunobu reaction. The sterochemical assignments were also consistent by vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) analysis.
