Abstract

The histone lysine monomethyltransferase SETD8 is an epigenetic regulator of cell cycle progression. Nahuoic acid A (1), a polyketide produced in culture by a Streptomyces sp. obtained from a tropical marine sediment, is the first known selective SAM-competitive inhibitor of SETD8. The structure of nahuoic acid A (1) has been elucidated by chemical transformation and detailed analysis of spectroscopic data. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
