Pyrazolylthiazole as DeltaF508-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator correctors with improved hydrophilicity compared to bithiazoles.

ABSTRACT: Deletion of phenylalanine residue 508 (DeltaF508) in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) is a major cause of CF. Small molecule "correctors" of defective DeltaF508-CFTR cellular processing hold promise for CF therapy. We previously identified and characterized bithiazole CF corrector 1 and s-cis-locked bithiazole 2. Herein, we report the regiodivergent synthesis of Ngamma and Nbeta isomers of thiazole-tethered pyrazoles with improved hydrophilicity compared to bithiazoles. We synthesized a focused library of 54 pyrazolylthiazoles 3, which included examples of both regioisomers 4 and 5. The thiazole-tethered pyrazoles allowed incorporation of property-modulating functionality on the pyrazole ring (ester, acid, and amide) while retaining DeltaF508-CFTR corrector activity (EC(50)) of under 1 microM. The most active pyrazolylthiazole (14h) has an experimentally determined log P of 4.1, which is 1.2 log units lower than bithiazole CF corrector 1.

Project description:Background: Most cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene that lead to protein misfolding and degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Previous studies demonstrated that PIAS4 facilitates the modification of wild-type (WT) and F508del CFTR by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-1, enhancing CFTR biogenesis by slowing immature CFTR degradation and producing increased immature CFTR band B. Methods: We evaluated two correction strategies using misfolding mutants, including the common variant, F508del. We examined the effects on mutant expression of co-expression with PIAS4 (E3 SUMO ligase), and/or the corrector, C18. To study the impact of these correction conditions, we transfected CFBE410- cells, a bronchial epithelial cell line, with a CFTR mutant plus: (1) empty vector, (2) empty vector plus overnight 5 μM C18, (3) PIAS4, and (4) PIAS4 plus C18. We assessed expression at steady state by immunoblot of CFTR band B, and if present, band C, and the corresponding C:B band ratio. The large PIAS4-induced increase in band B expression allowed us to ask whether C18 could act on the now abundant immature protein to enhance correction above the control level, as reported by the C:B ratio. Results: The data fell into three mutant CFTR categories as follows: (1) intransigent: no observable band C under any condition (i.e., C:B = 0); (2) throughput responsive: a C:B ratio less than control, but suggesting that the increased band C resulted from PIAS4-induced increases in band B production; and (3) folding responsive: a C:B ratio greater than control, reflecting C18-induced folding greater than that expected from increased throughput due to the PIAS4-induced band B level. Conclusion: These results suggest that the immature forms of CFTR folding intermediates occupy different loci within the energetic/kinetic folding landscape of CFTR. The evaluation of their properties could assist in the development of correctors that can target the more difficult-to-fold mutant conformations that occupy different sites within the CFTR folding pathway.
