The aminopeptidase inhibitor CHR-2863 is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of murine malaria.

ABSTRACT: Malaria remains a significant risk in many areas of the world, with resistance to the current antimalarial pharmacopeia an ever-increasing problem. The M1 alanine aminopeptidase (PfM1AAP) and M17 leucine aminopeptidase (PfM17LAP) are believed to play a role in the terminal stages of digestion of host hemoglobin and thereby generate a pool of free amino acids that are essential for parasite growth and development. Here, we show that an orally bioavailable aminopeptidase inhibitor, CHR-2863, is efficacious against murine malaria.

UNC2025, a potent and orally bioavailable MER/FLT3 dual inhibitor.

Project description:We previously reported a potent small molecule Mer tyrosine kinase inhibitor UNC1062. However, its poor PK properties prevented further assessment in vivo. We report here the sequential modification of UNC1062 to address DMPK properties and yield a new potent and highly orally bioavailable Mer inhibitor, 11, capable of inhibiting Mer phosphorylation in vivo, following oral dosing as demonstrated by pharmaco-dynamic (PD) studies examining phospho-Mer in leukemic blasts from mouse bone marrow. Kinome profiling versus more than 300 kinases in vitro and cellular selectivity assessments demonstrate that 11 has similar subnanomolar activity against Flt3, an additional important target in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), with pharmacologically useful selectivity versus other kinases examined.

Discovery of DS-8108b, a Novel Orally Bioavailable Renin Inhibitor.

Project description:A novel orally bioavailable renin inhibitor, DS-8108b (5), showing potent renin inhibitory activity and excellent in vivo efficacy is described. We report herein the synthesis and pharmacological effects of 5 including renin inhibitory activity in vitro, suppressive effects of ex vivo plasma renin activity (PRA) in cynomolgus monkey, pharmacokinetic data, and blood pressure-lowering effects in an animal model. Compound 5 demonstrated inhibitory activities toward human renin (IC50 = 0.9 nM) and human and monkey PRA (IC50 = 1.9 and 6.3 nM, respectively). Oral administration of single doses of 3 and 10 mg/kg of 5 in cynomolgus monkey on pretreatment with furosemide led to dose-dependent significant reductions in ex vivo PRA and sustained lowering of mean arterial blood pressure for more than 12 h.

Discovery of an Orally Bioavailable and Selective PKMYT1 Inhibitor, RP-6306.

Project description:PKMYT1 is a regulator of CDK1 phosphorylation and is a compelling therapeutic target for the treatment of certain types of DNA damage response cancers due to its established synthetic lethal relationship with CCNE1 amplification. To date, no selective inhibitors have been reported for this kinase that would allow for investigation of the pharmacological role of PKMYT1. To address this need compound 1 was identified as a weak PKMYT1 inhibitor. Introduction of a dimethylphenol increased potency on PKMYT1. These dimethylphenol analogs were found to exist as atropisomers that could be separated and profiled as single enantiomers. Structure-based drug design enabled optimization of cell-based potency. Parallel optimization of ADME properties led to the identification of potent and selective inhibitors of PKMYT1. RP-6306 inhibits CCNE1-amplified tumor cell growth in several preclinical xenograft models. The first-in-class clinical candidate RP-6306 is currently being evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials for treatment of various solid tumors.

Benzoxazepine-Derived Selective, Orally Bioavailable Inhibitor of Human Acidic Mammalian Chitinase.

Project description:Human acidic mammalian chitinase (hAMCase) is one of two true chitinases in humans, the function of which remains elusive. In addition to the defense against highly antigenic chitin and chitin-containing pathogens in the gastric and intestinal contents, AMCase has been implicated in asthma, allergic inflammation, and ocular pathologies. Potent and selective small-molecule inhibitors of this enzyme have not been identified to date. Here we describe structural modifications of compound OAT-177, a previously developed inhibitor of mouse AMCase, leading to OAT-1441, which displays high activity and selectivity toward hAMCase. Significantly reduced off-target activity toward the human ether-à-go-go-related gene (hERG) and a good pharmacokinetic profile make OAT-1441 a potential candidate for further preclinical development as well as a useful tool compound to study the physiological role of hAMCase.

ICEC0942, an Orally Bioavailable Selective Inhibitor of CDK7 for Cancer Treatment.

Project description:Recent reports indicate that some cancer types are especially sensitive to transcription inhibition, suggesting that targeting the transcriptional machinery provides new approaches to cancer treatment. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)7 is necessary for transcription, and acts by phosphorylating the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (PolII) to enable transcription initiation. CDK7 additionally regulates the activities of a number of transcription factors, including estrogen receptor (ER)-α. Here we describe a new, orally bioavailable CDK7 inhibitor, ICEC0942. It selectively inhibits CDK7, with an IC50 of 40 nmol/L; IC50 values for CDK1, CDK2, CDK5, and CDK9 were 45-, 15-, 230-, and 30-fold higher. In vitro studies show that a wide range of cancer types are sensitive to CDK7 inhibition with GI50 values ranging between 0.2 and 0.3 μmol/L. In xenografts of both breast and colorectal cancers, the drug has substantial antitumor effects. In addition, combination therapy with tamoxifen showed complete growth arrest of ER-positive tumor xenografts. Our findings reveal that CDK7 inhibition provides a new approach, especially for ER-positive breast cancer and identify ICEC0942 as a prototype drug with potential utility as a single agent or in combination with hormone therapies for breast cancer. ICEC0942 may also be effective in other cancers that display characteristics of transcription factor addiction, such as acute leukaemia and small-cell lung cancer.

Discovery of PF-04449913, a Potent and Orally Bioavailable Inhibitor of Smoothened.

Project description:Inhibitors of the Hedgehog signaling pathway have generated a great deal of interest in the oncology area due to the mounting evidence of their potential to provide promising therapeutic options for patients. Herein, we describe the discovery strategy to overcome the issues inherent in lead structure 1 that resulted in the identification of Smoothened inhibitor 1-((2R,4R)-2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)-1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)-3-(4-cyanophenyl)urea (PF-04449913, 26), which has been advanced to human clinical studies.

Pharmacological profile of asundexian, a novel, orally bioavailable inhibitor of factor XIa.

Project description:BackgroundActivated coagulation factor XI (FXIa) contributes to the development and propagation of thrombosis but plays only a minor role in hemostasis; therefore, it is an attractive antithrombotic target.ObjectivesTo evaluate the pharmacology of asundexian (BAY 2433334), a small molecule inhibitor targeting FXIa, in vitro and in various rabbit models.MethodsThe effects of asundexian on FXIa activity, selectivity versus other proteases, plasma thrombin generation, and clotting assays were evaluated. Antithrombotic effects were determined in FeCl2 - and arterio-venous (AV) shunt models. Asundexian was administered intravenously or orally, before or during thrombus formation, and with or without antiplatelet drugs (aspirin and ticagrelor). Potential effects of asundexian on bleeding were evaluated in ear-, gum-, and liver injury models.ResultsAsundexian inhibited human FXIa with high potency and selectivity. It reduced FXIa activity, thrombin generation triggered by contact activation or low concentrations of tissue factor, and prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time in human, rabbit, and various other species, but not in rodents. In the FeCl2 -injury models, asundexian reduced thrombus weight versus control, and in the arterial model when added to aspirin and ticagrelor. In the AV shunt model, asundexian reduced thrombus weight when administered before or during thrombus formation. Asundexian alone or in combination with antiplatelet drugs did not increase bleeding times or blood loss in any of the models studied.ConclusionsAsundexian is a potent oral FXIa inhibitor with antithrombotic efficacy in arterial and venous thrombosis models in prevention and intervention settings, without increasing bleeding.
