N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is critical for mRNA splicing, nuclear export, stability and translation. Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO), the first identified m6A demethylase, is critical for cancer progression. Herein, we developed small-molecule inhibitors of FTO by virtual sc...
