MLL1-WDR5 interaction is essential for the formation of MLL core complex and its H3K4 methyltransferase activity. Disrupting MLL1-WDR5 interaction has been proposed as a potential therapeutic approach in the treatment of leukemia. A "toolkit" of well-characterized chemical probe will allow exploring animal studies. Based on a specific MLL1-WDR5 PPI inhibitor (DDO-2117), which was previously reported by our group, we conducted a bioisosterism approach by click chemistry to discover novel phenyltriazole scaffold MLL1-WDR5 interaction blockers. Here, our efforts resulted in the best inhibitor 24 (DDO-2093) with high binding affinity (K<sub>d</sub> = 11.6 nM) and with improved drug-like properties. Both in vitro and in vivo assays revealed 24 could efficiently block the MLL1-WDR5 interaction. Furthermore, 24 significantly suppressed tumor growth in the MV4-11 xenograft mouse model and showed a favorable safety profile. We propose 24 as a chemical probe that is suitable for in vivo pharmacodynamic and biological studies of MLL1-WDR5 interaction.
