Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers that affects middle-aged women and the discovery of new drugs to aid clinical management is needed. As an important member of the protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) family, PRMT1 catalyzes the methylation of protein arginine, which can influence multiple biological processes of cancer cells, such as activating epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) and acquiring resistance to apoptosis. Therefore, PRMT1 can be considered as a potential drug target for cervical cancer. In the current study, a new sub-binding pocket was discovered by molecular modeling, and by introducing a third substitute on the thiazole group to occupy this pocket, a series of compounds were designed and synthesized as potential PRMT1 inhibitors. Of these, two compounds (ZJG51 and ZJG58) exhibited significant inhibitory activities against PRMT1 without significantly inhibiting PRMT5. Both ZJG51 and ZJG58 displayed potent inhibitory effects on the proliferation of four cancer-derived cell lines and ZJG51 exerted relative selectivity against the cervical cancer cell line, HeLa. Further studies showed that ZJG51 inhibited migration and induce the apoptosis of HeLa cells. Mechanistically, ZJG51 significantly regulated PRMT1 related proteins, and indicated that the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of migration by ZJG51 may involve the activation of Caspase 9 and the inhibition of EMT, respectively. Molecular dynamic simulation and free energy calculation showed that ZJG51 can bind to PRMT1 stably and the binding mode was predicted. These data indicated that introducing the third substitute on the five-membered ring could be a future direction for structure-based optimization of PRMT1 inhibitors, and ZJG51 could be an important lead compound to inform the design of more potent inhibitors.
