Epigenetics is nowadays a well-accepted area of research. In the last years, tremendous progress was made regarding molecules targeting EZH2, directly or indirectly. Recently tazemetostat hit the market after FDA-approval for the treatment of lymphoma. However, the impairment of EZH2 activity by orthosteric intervention has proven to be effective only in a limited subset of cancers. Considering the multiproteic nature of the PRC2 complex and the marked dependence of EZH2 functions on the other core subunits such as EED, in recent years, a new targeting approach ascended to prominence. The possibility to cripple the function of the PRC2 complex by interfering with its multimeric integrity fueled the interest in developing EZH2–EED protein–protein interaction and EED inhibitors as indirect modulators of PRC2-dependent methyltransferase activity. In this Perspective, we aim to summarize the latest findings regarding the development and the biological activity of these emerging classes of PRC2 modulators from a medicinal chemist’s viewpoint.
