Discovery of 9-(6-aminopyridin-3-yl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-one (Torin2) as a potent, selective, and orally available mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor for treatment of cancer.

ABSTRACT: The mTOR mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal transduction pathway has been demonstrated to play a key role in a broad spectrum of cancers. Starting from the mTOR selective inhibitor 1 (Torin1), a focused medicinal chemistry effort led to the discovery of an improved mTOR inhibitor 3 (Torin2), which possesses an EC(50) of 0.25 nM for inhibiting cellular mTOR activity. Compound 3 exhibited 800-fold selectivity over PI3K (EC(50): 200 nM) and over 100-fold binding selectivity relative to 440 other protein kinases. Compound 3 has significantly improved bioavailability (54%), metabolic stability, and plasma exposure relative to compound 1.

Discovery of 1-(4-(4-propionylpiperazin-1-yl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-9-(quinolin-3-yl)benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-one as a highly potent, selective mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor for the treatment of cancer.

Project description:The mTOR protein is a master regulator of cell growth and proliferation, and inhibitors of its kinase activity have the potential to become new class of anticancer drugs. Starting from quinoline 1, which was identified in a biochemical mTOR assay, we developed a tricyclic benzonaphthyridinone inhibitor 37 (Torin1), which inhibited phosphorylation of mTORC1 and mTORC2 substrates in cells at concentrations of 2 and 10 nM, respectively. Moreover, Torin1 exhibits 1000-fold selectivity for mTOR over PI3K (EC(50) = 1800 nM) and exhibits 100-fold binding selectivity relative to 450 other protein kinases. Torin1 was efficacious at a dose of 20 mg/kg in a U87MG xenograft model and demonstrated good pharmacodynamic inhibition of downstream effectors of mTOR in tumor and peripheral tissues. These results demonstrate that Torin1 is a useful probe of mTOR-dependent phenomena and that benzonaphthridinones represent a promising scaffold for the further development of mTOR-specific inhibitors with the potential for clinical utility.

7-Amino-1,8-naphthyridin-2(1H)-one monohydrate.

Project description:In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(8)H(7)N(3)O·H(2)O, adjacent organic mol-ecules are linked together into a tape along the a axis through N-H?N and N-H?O hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, water mol-ecules are linked together to form a chain along the b axis through O-H?O hydrogen bonds. The water chains and the organic mol-ecular tapes are further connected by inter-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, a ?-? stacking inter-action between the 1,8-naphthyridine ring systems with an inter-planar separation of 3.246?(1)?Å and a centroid-centroid distance of 3.825?(2)?Å is observed.

Characterization of Torin2, an ATP-competitive inhibitor of mTOR, ATM, and ATR.

Project description:mTOR is a highly conserved serine/threonine protein kinase that serves as a central regulator of cell growth, survival, and autophagy. Deregulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway occurs commonly in cancer and numerous inhibitors targeting the ATP-binding site of these kinases are currently undergoing clinical evaluation. Here, we report the characterization of Torin2, a second-generation ATP-competitive inhibitor that is potent and selective for mTOR with a superior pharmacokinetic profile to previous inhibitors. Torin2 inhibited mTORC1-dependent T389 phosphorylation on S6K (RPS6KB1) with an EC(50) of 250 pmol/L with approximately 800-fold selectivity for cellular mTOR versus phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). Torin2 also exhibited potent biochemical and cellular activity against phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase-like kinase (PIKK) family kinases including ATM (EC(50), 28 nmol/L), ATR (EC(50), 35 nmol/L), and DNA-PK (EC(50), 118 nmol/L; PRKDC), the inhibition of which sensitized cells to Irradiation. Similar to the earlier generation compound Torin1 and in contrast to other reported mTOR inhibitors, Torin2 inhibited mTOR kinase and mTORC1 signaling activities in a sustained manner suggestive of a slow dissociation from the kinase. Cancer cell treatment with Torin2 for 24 hours resulted in a prolonged block in negative feedback and consequent T308 phosphorylation on Akt. These effects were associated with strong growth inhibition in vitro. Single-agent treatment with Torin2 in vivo did not yield significant efficacy against KRAS-driven lung tumors, but the combination of Torin2 with mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MEK) inhibitor AZD6244 yielded a significant growth inhibition. Taken together, our findings establish Torin2 as a strong candidate for clinical evaluation in a broad number of oncologic settings where mTOR signaling has a pathogenic role.

1,3-Diphenyl-3,4-dihydro-benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine.

Project description:The title compound, C(24)H(18)N(2), is the first structural example containing the 3,4-dihydro-benzo[b][1,6]naphthyridine fragment. It was synthesized from 2,4,6,8-tetra-phenyl-3,7-diaza-bicyclo-[3.3.1]nonan-9-one and was crystallized from a methanol-ethanol solution over two years as a racemate. The C=N double bond [1.2868?(15)?Å] is bent significantly out of the plane of the aromatic bicyclic ring system [N-C-C-C = -157.63?(12)°] and out of the plane of the phenyl ring bonded at the 1-position [N-C-C-C = 41.15?(16)°].

2,9-Dimethyl-7-phenyl-N-(4-methyl-phen-yl)dibenzo[b,h][1,6]naphthyridin-6-amine.

Project description:The title compound, C(31)H(25)N(3), was synthesized from 6,4',4''-trimethyl-2,4-bis-(N-phenyl-amino)-quinoline and is the first structural example containing a phenyl and phenyl-amino fragment attached to a fused dibenzo[1,6]naphthyridine moiety. The fused tetra-cyclic ring system is essentially planar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.08?(3)?Å]. The phenyl ring and the phenyl-amino group are inclined by 82.68?(6) and 35.31?(5)°, respectively, to the mean plane of the fused tetra-cyclic ring system. A weak intra-molecular N-H??(arene) inter-action may in part influence the conformation of the mol-ecule. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak inter-molecular C-H?N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers. Additional stabilization is provided by weak C-H?? and ?-? stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distances = 3.834?(2) and 3.898?(1)?Å].

Antiparasitic activities of novel, orally available fumagillin analogs.

Project description:Fumagillin, an irreversible inhibitor of MetAP2, has been shown to potently inhibit growth of malaria parasites in vitro. Here, we demonstrate activity of fumagillin analogs with an improved pharmacokinetic profile against malaria parasites, trypanosomes, and amoebas. A subset of the compounds showed efficacy in a murine malaria model. The observed SAR forms a basis for further optimization of fumagillin based inhibitors against parasitic targets by inhibition of MetAP2.

Design, Synthesis, and Docking Studies of New Torin2 Analogs as Potential ATR/mTOR Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:Targeting DNA damage and response (DDR) pathway has become an attractive approach in cancer therapy. The key mediators involved in this pathway are ataxia telangiectasia-mutated kinase (ATM) and ataxia telangiectasia-mutated, Rad3-related kinase (ATR). These kinases induce cell cycle arrest in response to chemo- and radio-therapy and facilitate DNA repair via their major downstream targets. Targeting ATP-binding site of these kinases is currently under study. Torin2 is a second generation ATP competitive mTOR kinase inhibitor (EC50 = 250 pmol/L) with better pharmacokinetic profile. Torin2 also exhibits potent biochemical and cellular activity against ATM (EC50 = 28 nmol/L) and ATR (EC50 = 35 nmol/L) kinases. In this study, eight new Torin2 analogs were designed and synthesized through multistep synthesis. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR and mass analysis. The newly synthesized analogs were evaluated for their anti-cancer activity via CellTiter-Glo® assay. Additionally, compounds 13 and 14 also showed significant inhibition for ATR and mTOR substrates, i.e., p-Chk1 Ser 317 and p70 S6K Thr 389, respectively. Compounds 13 and 14 displayed promising anti-cancer activity with HCT-116 cell lines in the preliminary study. Further, a comparative model of ATR kinase was generated using the SWISS-MODEL server and validated using PROCHECK, ProSA analysis. Synthesized compounds were docked into the ATP-binding site to understand the binding modes and for the rational design of new inhibitors.
