USP7 has been recognized as a potential target for the treatment of hematologic malignancies by stabilizing multiple cancer-relevant proteins. Nevertheless, drug-like USP7 inhibitors are still lacking. Herein, compound J21 (USP7 IC 50 : 41.35 ± 2.16 nM) was discovered based on the structure of L55 and its co-crystal complex with USP7. Additionally, J21 exhibited greater metabolic stability (T 1/2 : 1.25 h, C max : 394.1 ± 48.3 ng/mL, and AUC 0-t : 597.8 ± 44.8 ng/mL∙h) compared to L55. These findings may further pave the way for the development of USP7 inhibitors for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.
