Structure-based discovery of BM-957 as a potent small-molecule inhibitor of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL capable of achieving complete tumor regression.

ABSTRACT: Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL antiapoptotic proteins are attractive cancer therapeutic targets. We have previously reported the design of 4,5-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxylic acids as a class of potent Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitors. In the present study, we report our structure-based optimization for this class of compounds based upon the crystal structure of Bcl-xL complexed with a potent lead compound. Our efforts accumulated into the design of compound 30 (BM-957), which binds to Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL with K(i) < 1 nM and has low nanomolar IC(50) values in cell growth inhibition in cancer cell lines. Significantly, compound 30 achieves rapid, complete, and durable tumor regression in the H146 small-cell lung cancer xenograft model at a well-tolerated dose schedule.

A Selective Small-Molecule STAT5 PROTAC Degrader Capable of Achieving Tumor Regression In Vivo

Project description:The signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) is an attractive therapeutic target but successful targeting of STAT5 has proved to be difficult. We report herein the development of AK-2292 as a first, potent and selective small-molecule degrader of both STAT5A and STAT5B isoforms. AK-2292 induces degradation of STAT5A/B proteins with an outstanding selectivity over all other STAT proteins and >6,000 non-STAT proteins, leading to selective inhibition of STAT5 activity in cells. AK-2292 effectively induces STAT5 depletion in normal mouse tissues and human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) xenograft tissues and achieves tumor regression in two CML xenograft mouse models at well-tolerated dose-schedules. AK-2292 is not only a powerful research tool with which to investigate the biology of STAT5 and therapeutic potential of selective STAT5 protein depletion and inhibition in vitro and in vivo, but also a promising lead compound toward ultimate development of a STAT5-targeted therapy.

Discovery of a Potent and Selective BCL-XL Inhibitor with in Vivo Activity.

Project description:A-1155463, a highly potent and selective BCL-XL inhibitor, was discovered through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) fragment screening and structure-based design. This compound is substantially more potent against BCL-XL-dependent cell lines relative to our recently reported inhibitor, WEHI-539, while possessing none of its inherent pharmaceutical liabilities. A-1155463 caused a mechanism-based and reversible thrombocytopenia in mice and inhibited H146 small cell lung cancer xenograft tumor growth in vivo following multiple doses. A-1155463 thus represents an excellent tool molecule for studying BCL-XL biology as well as a productive lead structure for further optimization.

A potent and highly efficacious Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitor.

Project description:Our previously reported Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitor, 4, effectively inhibited tumor growth but failed to achieve complete regression in vivo. We have now performed extensive modifications on its pyrrole core structure, which has culminated in the discovery of 32 (BM-1074). Compound 32 binds to Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins with K(i) values of <1 nM and inhibits cancer cell growth with IC50 values of 1-2 nM in four small-cell lung cancer cell lines sensitive to potent and specific Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitors. Compound 32 is capable of achieving rapid, complete, and durable tumor regression in vivo at a well-tolerated dose schedule. Compound 32 is the most potent and efficacious Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitor reported to date.

Discovery of a Small-Molecule Degrader of Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) Proteins with Picomolar Cellular Potencies and Capable of Achieving Tumor Regression.

Project description:The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family proteins, consisting of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and testis-specific BRDT members, are epigenetic "readers" and play a key role in the regulation of gene transcription. BET proteins are considered to be attractive therapeutic targets for cancer and other human diseases. Recently, heterobifunctional small-molecule BET degraders have been designed based upon the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) concept to induce BET protein degradation. Herein, we present our design, synthesis, and evaluation of a new class of PROTAC BET degraders. One of the most promising compounds, 23, effectively degrades BRD4 protein at concentrations as low as 30 pM in the RS4;11 leukemia cell line, achieves an IC50 value of 51 pM in inhibition of RS4;11 cell growth and induces rapid tumor regression in vivo against RS4;11 xenograft tumors. These data establish that compound 23 (BETd-260/ZBC260) is a highly potent and efficacious BET degrader.

SD-91 as A Potent and Selective STAT3 Degrader Capable of Achieving Complete and Long-Lasting Tumor Regression.

Project description:Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an attractive cancer therapeutic target. We report herein our extensive in vitro and in vivo evaluations of SD-91, the product of the hydrolysis of our previously reported STAT3 degrader SD-36. SD-91 binds to STAT3 protein with a high affinity and displays >300-fold selectivity over other STAT family protein members. SD-91 potently and effectively induces degradation of STAT3 protein and displays a high selectivity over other STAT members and >7000 non-STAT proteins in cells. A single administration of SD-91 selectively depletes STAT3 protein in tumor tissues with a persistent effect. SD-91 achieves complete and long-lasting tumor regression in the MOLM-16 xenograft model in mice even with weekly administration. Hence, SD-91 is a potent, highly selective, and efficacious STAT3 degrader for extensive evaluations for the treatment of human cancers and other diseases for which STAT3 plays a key role.

Discovery of MD-224 as a First-in-Class, Highly Potent, and Efficacious Proteolysis Targeting Chimera Murine Double Minute 2 Degrader Capable of Achieving Complete and Durable Tumor Regression.

Project description:Human murine double minute 2 (MDM2) protein is a primary endogenous cellular inhibitor of the tumor suppressor p53 and has been pursued as an attractive cancer therapeutic target. Several potent, nonpeptide, small-molecule inhibitors of MDM2 are currently in clinical development. In this paper, we report our design, synthesis, and evaluation of small-molecule MDM2 degraders based on the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) concept. The most promising compound (MD-224) effectively induces rapid degradation of MDM2 at concentrations <1 nM in human leukemia cells. It achieves an IC50 value of 1.5 nM in inhibition of growth of RS4;11 cells and also low nanomolar IC50 values in a panel of leukemia cell lines. MD-224 achieves complete and durable tumor regression in vivo in the RS4;11 xenograft tumor model in mice at well-tolerated dose schedules. MD-224 is thus a highly potent and efficacious MDM2 degrader and warrants extensive evaluations as a new class of anticancer agent.

Inhibition of Antiapoptotic BCL-XL, BCL-2, and MCL-1 Proteins by Small Molecule Mimetics.

Project description:Informatics and computational design methods were used to create new molecules that could potentially bind antiapoptotic proteins, thus promoting death of cancer cells. Apoptosis is a cellular process that leads to the death of damaged cells. Its malfunction can cause cancer and poor response to conventional chemotherapy. After being activated by cellular stress signals, proapoptotic proteins bind antiapoptotic proteins, thus allowing apoptosis to go forward. An excess of antiapoptotic proteins can prevent apoptosis. Designed molecules that mimic the roles of proapoptotic proteins can promote the death of cancer cells. The goal of our study was to create new putative mimetics that could simultaneously bind several antiapoptotic proteins. Five new small molecules were designed that formed stable complexes with BCL-2, BCL-XL, and MCL-1 antiapoptotic proteins. These results are novel because, to our knowledge, there are not many, if any, small molecules known to bind all three proteins. Drug-likeness studies performed on the designed molecules, as well as previous experimental and preclinical studies on similar agents, strongly suggest that the designed molecules may indeed be promising drug candidates. All five molecules showed "drug-like" properties and had overall drug-likeness scores between 81% and 96%. A single drug based on these mimetics should cost less and cause fewer side effects than a combination of drugs each aimed at a single protein. Computer-based molecular design promises to accelerate drug research by predicting potential effectiveness of designed molecules prior to laborious experiments and costly preclinical trials.
