within a 1–2-h window, and its average half-life spans 3–4 h. Its primary metabolic pathway involves N-dealkylation via CYP3A, leading to the formation of metabolites EPZ-6930 (28, resulting from the loss of tetrahydropyran) and EPZ-6931 (29, through de­ethylation). In some instances, the drug loses both N-alkyl functionalities. These metabolites, however, are considerably less potent, translating to negligible

pharmacological effects in vivo.
Elimination predominantly occurs through fecal excretion (79%) and, to a lesser extent, via urine (15%) over a 12-day period. Tazemetostat (1) has a substantial apparent volume of distribution (V

In vitro studies have shown that the drug is 88% bound to human plasma proteins. As a significant substrate of CYP3A, tazemetostat (1) has potential drug–drug interaction (DDI) risks when co-administered with other CYP3A inhibitors or inducers. Additionally, it acts both as a substrate and an inhibitor of P-gp; hence, the concurrent use of tazemetostat (1) with P-gp exposure remains largely unaffected by a high-fat meal.

5. Efficacy and Safety
In preclinical evaluations, the in vivo efficacy of tazemetostat (1) was consistently demonstrated across multiple tumor xenograft models, highlighting its potential therapeutic application. Tazemetostat (1) showcased excellent selectivity over other enzyme, especially over 30-fold selectivity for EZH1, underscoring its targeted mechanism of action.
Transitioning to clinical investigations, tazemetostat’s (1) promising preclinical efficacy transferred well in human subjects. An initial phase I study assessed both the

safety and efficacy of tazemetostat (1) as a standalone treatment in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin lymphoma and those at high-risk for solid tumors. During the dose-escalation phase, tazemetostat (1) dosages ranged between 100 and 1600 mg, administered twice daily. Based on an assessment of the overall response and safety data, a subsequent expansion cohort received an optimized dose of 800 mg, again twice daily (n = 64). Importantly, tazemetostat (1) was well-tolerated: the predefined

Following this, a phase II trial was initiated, involving 99 R/R Follicular Lymphoma patients, each having undergone at least two prior therapeutic regimens.

treatment.
Such compelling outcomes underline the potential of EZH2 inhibition as a
strategy for managing challenging cases of follicular lymphoma.
It is noteworthy that the combination of tazemetostat (1)’s minimal treatment­related adverse events and the robust efficacy data from this trial persuaded the FDA to grant marketing approval in 2020even before the initiation of a pivotal phase III clinical trial. As of the latest updates, tazemetostat (1)’s
efficacy is under evaluation
across a spectrum of cancers, including epithelioid sarcoma (ES), metastatic castration­resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). While approvals have been secured for specific indications, others remain under rigorous

clinical scrutiny.
6. Synthesis
The synthesis of tazemetostat (1) employs a convergent approach, involving the preparation and subsequent coupling of three distinct molecular fragments through amide coupling and Suzuki coupling. This synthetic route not only is pivotal in the medicinal chemistry development of tazemetostat (1) but also plays a critical role in its manufacturing process.
The synthesis begins with the commercially available 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid (30). After bromination with dibromatin, the resulting compound 31 is then subjected to methylation to protect the carboxylic acid. This step involves treating the carboxyl group with Na Then the nitro group of the methyl benzoate derivative is reduced to an amine using Fe and NH
Cl. This reduction yields the amine compound 33.

The formation of the tertiary amine core of tazemetostat (1) is constructed through two consecutive reductive amination reactions. These two steps conducted under standard reductive amination reaction condition employing NaBH(OCOCH
as the

reducing agent to achieving 35. Following the dual reductive amination strategies, a base­promoted ester hydrolysis was employed, leading to the formation of the first fragment 36, which encompasses both bromide and carboxylic acid functional groups for later coupling.

The second fragment 37, which bears an amine moiety is then coupled to the benzoic acid core through the amide coupling reaction, which install the warhead toward EZH2. This step achieves a 74% yield when using PYBOP as the coupling reagent.
The final step in the synthesis of tazemetostat (1) is marked by a Suzuki coupling reaction. This reaction couples compound 39 and corresponding boronic ester 40 using Pd(PPh3)4. The successful execution of this reaction results in the formation of tazemetostat (1) in 71% yield.

7. Summary
The development of tazemetostat (1), a pioneering EZH2 inhibitor, highlights the enduring importance of molecular conformation in drug discovery. This principle is crucial not only for tazemetostat (1) but also forms a cornerstone in the creation of numerous effective therapeutic agents. The strategic manipulation of molecular conformation plays a key role in enhancing drug properties such as potency and selectivity.
While the concept of molecular conformation has been known for decades, recent advancements in computing power have provided an additional tool, making the analysis and prediction of molecular shapes more accessible. This enhancement in computational capabilities allows for more sophisticated modeling of drug–target interactions, offering valuable insights that guide the drug development process. However, it is important to note that this is just one aspect of a much broader and multifaceted approach.
The journey of tazemetostat (1), particularly through the magic methyl” effect, demonstrates how subtle structural modifications can significantly alter a drug’s efficacy profile. In conclusion, molecular conformation remains a fundamental aspect of drug discovery, essential for the development of new and improved therapies. The modern era, with its advanced computational tools, offers exciting opportunities to deepen this understanding, and the core principles of medicinal chemistry continue to guide this ever­evolving field.

1. Background
1.1. MS and IBD
One of the most remarkable properties of the immune system is its ability to distinguish between self-cells and foreign cells. In some individuals, there’s a flaw in the process and autoimmune disease occurs because of the inappropriate self-attack.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). In MS, myelin which is the fatty tissue that protects nerve fibers, is attacked upon immune cell activation forming scar tissues called sclerosis. the nerves are damaged and lose the ability to conduct electrical impulses to and from the brain, triggering progressive neurodegeneration of the brain and spinal cord. MS is typically present in young adults with the average onset age between 20 and 30 years. Common symptoms of MS include fatigue, depression, bowel and bladder dysfunction,
