Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of conformationally constrained analogues of naphthol AS-E as inhibitors of CREB-mediated gene transcription.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) is often dysregulated in cancer cells and is an attractive cancer drug target. Previously, we described naphthol AS-E (1) as a small molecule inhibitor of CREB-mediated gene transcription. To understand its bioactive conformation, a series of conformationally constrained analogues of 1 were designed and synthesized. Biological evaluation of these analogues suggests that the global energy minimum of 1 is the likely bioactive conformation.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Conformationally Constrained Inhibitors Targeting EGFR.

Project description:This letter describes the construction of conformationally constrained quinazoline analogues. Structure-activity relationship studies led to the identification of the lead compound 9n . Compound 9n exhibits effective in vitro activity against A431(WT,overexpression) and H1975([L858R/T790M]) cancer cell lines but is significantly less effective against EGFR negative cancer cell lines (SW620, A549, and K562). Compound 9n was also assessed for potency in enzymatic assays and in vivo antitumor studies. The results indicated that 9n is a potent kinase inhibitor against both wild-type and T790M mutant EGFR kinase. Meanwhile, an oral administration of 9n at a dose of 200 mg/kg produced a considerable antitumor effect in a A431 xenograft model, as compared to gefitinib. A preliminary pharmacokinetic study of 9n also indicates it has good pharmacokinetic properties, and therefore, it is a good starting point for further development.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of conformationally constrained glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase inhibitors.

Project description:Glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) isozymes are central control points for fat synthesis in mammals. Development of inhibitors of these membrane-bound enzymes could lead to an effective treatment for obesity, but is thwarted by an absence of direct structural information. Based on a highly successful study involving conformationally constrained glycerol 3-phosphate analogs functioning as potent glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors, several series of cyclic bisubstrate and transition state analogs were designed, synthesized, and tested as GPAT inhibitors. The weaker in vitro inhibitory activity of these compounds compared to a previously described benzoic acid series was then examined in docking experiments with the soluble squash chloroplast GPAT crystal structure. These in silico experiments indicate that cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl scaffolds prepared in this study may be occluded from the enzyme active site by two protein loops that sterically guard the phosphate binding region. In view of these findings, future GPAT inhibitor design will be driven toward compounds based on planar frameworks able to slide between these loops and enter the active site, resulting in improved inhibitory activity.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of ring-constrained novobiocin analogues as hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors.

Project description:Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors represent a novel and alternative chemotherapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. Novobiocin was the first natural product identified as an Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitor; however, it manifests poor antiproliferative activity. In contrast to N-terminal inhibitors, novobiocin does not induce the pro-survival heat shock response. Structural investigations on novobiocin have elucidated some structure-activity relationships and several promising compounds. On the basis of structure-activity relationships and computational studies, a library of ring-constrained novobiocin analogues was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in antiproliferative assays. Results obtained from these studies provide insights into the Hsp90 C-terminal binding site, and new analogues that were developed manifest low micromolar to mid-nanomolar antiproliferative activity resulting from Hsp90 inhibition.

Conformationally Constrained Cinnolinone Nucleoside Analogues as Siderophore Biosynthesis Inhibitors for Tuberculosis.

Project description:5'-O-[N-(Salicyl)sulfamoyl]adenosine (Sal-AMS, 1) is a nucleoside antibiotic that inhibits incorporation of salicylate into siderophores required for bacterial iron acquisition and has potent activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Cinnolone analogues exemplified by 5 were designed to replace the acidic acyl-sulfamate functional group of 1 (pKa = 3) by a more stable sulfonamide linkage (pKa = 6.0) in an attempt to address potential metabolic liabilities and improve membrane permeability. We showed 5 potently inhibited the mycobacterial salicylate ligase MbtA (apparent Ki = 12 nM), blocked production of the salicylate-capped siderophores in whole-cell Mtb, and exhibited excellent antimycobacterial activity under iron-deficient conditions (minimum inhibitor concentration, MIC = 2.3 μM). To provide additional confirmation of the mechanism of action, we demonstrated the whole-cell activity of 5 could be fully antagonized by the addition of exogenous salicylate to the growth medium. Although the total polar surface area (tPSA) of 5 still exceeds the nominal threshold value (140 Å) typically required for oral bioavailability, we were pleasantly surprised to observe introduction of the less acidic and conformationally constrained cinnolone moiety conferred improved drug disposition properties as evidenced by the 7-fold increase in volume of distribution in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Prodrugs of 666-15 as Inhibitors of CREB-Mediated Gene Transcription.

Project description:cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor involved in multiple cancers. Chemical inhibitors of CREB represent potential anticancer agents. We previously identified 666-15 as a potent CREB inhibitor. While 666-15 showed efficacious anticancer activity in vivo through intraperitoneal (IP) injection, its oral bioavailability is limited. To increase its oral bioavailability, we describe synthesis and evaluation of prodrugs based on 666-15. The amino acid esters were attempted, but they were not stable for detailed characterization. The corresponding sulfate and phosphates were prepared. The sulfate of 666-15 was too stable to release 666-15 while the phosphates were converted into 666-15 with half-lives of ∼2 h. Phosphate 3 was also a potent CREB inhibitor with anti-breast cancer activity. Furthermore, compound 3 showed much improved oral bioavailability at 38%. These studies support that 3 can be used as an oral CREB inhibitor while IP administration of 666-15 is preferred for in vivo applications.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of linear and conformationally constrained peptide analogues of CIYKYY as Src tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

Project description:A series of peptide analogues of Ac-CIYKYY (1) were synthesized by functional group modifications in peptide side chains or by introducing conformational constraints, to improve the inhibitory potency against active Src kinase. Ac-CIYKF(4-NO2)Y (2, IC50 = 0.53 microM) and conformationally constrained peptide 31 (IC50 = 0.28 microM) exhibited 750- and 1400-fold higher inhibitory activities, respectively, versus that of 1 (IC50 = 400 microM). Compound 2 exhibited a partial competitive inhibition pattern against ATP.

Conformationally restricted quinazolone derivatives as PI3Kδ-selective inhibitors: the design, synthesis and biological evaluation.

Project description:A series of structurally novel quinazolone-based PI3Kδ-selective inhibitors were designed and synthesized via the approach of conformational restriction. The majority of them exhibited two-digit to single-digit nanomolar IC50 values against PI3Kδ, along with low micromolar to submicromolar GI50 values against human malignant B-cell line SU-DHL-6. The representative compound, with the most potent PI3Kδ inhibitory activity (IC50 = 6.3 nM) and anti-proliferative activity (GI50 = 0.21 μM) in this series, was further evaluated for its PI3Kδ selectivity, capability to down-regulate PI3K signaling in SU-DHL-6 cells, in vitro metabolic stability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties. The experimental results illustrated that this compound, as a promising lead, merits extensive structural optimization for exploring novel PI3Kδ-selective inhibitors as clinical candidates.

Discovery of Conformationally Constrained ALK2 Inhibitors.

Project description:Despite decades of research on new diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) treatments, little or no progress has been made on improving patient outcomes. In this work, we explored novel scaffold modifications of M4K2009, a 3,5-diphenylpyridine ALK2 inhibitor previously reported by our group. Here we disclose the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a first-in-class set of 5- to 7-membered ether-linked and 7-membered amine-linked constrained inhibitors of ALK2. This rigidification strategy led us to the discovery of the ether-linked inhibitors M4K2308 and M4K2281 and the amine-linked inhibitors M4K2304 and M4K2306, each with superior potency against ALK2. Notably, M4K2304 and M4K2306 exhibit exceptional selectivity for ALK2 over ALK5, surpassing the reference compound. Preliminary studies on their in vivo pharmacokinetics, including blood-brain barrier penetration, revealed that these constrained scaffolds have favorable exposure and do open a novel chemical space for further optimization and future evaluation in orthotopic models of DIPG.
