Exploiting epigenetics: 2‐Oxoglutarate (2OG)‐dependent histone lysine demethylases, such as JMJD2E, are potential therapeutic targets in a range of diseases. Through structure–activity relationship studies and analyses, we identified a potent 4‐carboxy‐2,2′‐bipyridyl compound, which inhibits JMJD2E with an IC 50 value of 110 n M , representing a 66‐fold improvement over the lead compound. These bipyridyl derivatives bind in the 2‐oxoglutarate binding site.
