Discovery of substituted 4-(pyrazol-4-yl)-phenylbenzodioxane-2-carboxamides as potent and highly selective Rho kinase (ROCK-II) inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: The identification of a new class of potent and selective ROCK-II inhibitors is presented. Compound 5 (SR-3677) had an IC 50 of approximately 3 nM in enzyme and cell based assays and had an off-target hit rate of 1.4% against 353 kinases, and inhibited only 3 out of 70 nonkinase enzymes and receptors. Pharmacology studies showed that 5 was efficacious in both, increasing ex vivo aqueous humor outflow in porcine eyes and inhibiting myosin light chain phosphorylation.

Discovery of nonpeptide 3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-carboxamides as potent and selective sst2 agonists.

Project description:Nonpeptide sst2 agonists can provide a new treatment option for patients with acromegaly, carcinoid tumors, and neuroendocrine tumors. Our medicinal chemistry efforts have led to the discovery of novel 3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-carboxamides as sst2 agonists. This class of molecules exhibits excellent human sst2 potency and selectivity against sst1, sst3, sst4 and sst5 receptors. Leading compound 3-(3-chloro-5-methylphenyl)-6-(3-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-N,7-dimethyl-N-{[(2S)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]methyl}-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-4-carboxamide (28) showed no inhibition of major CYP450 enzymes (2C9, 2C19, 2D6 and 3A4) and weak inhibition of the hERG channel.

Discovery of Highly Selective and Potent HDAC3 Inhibitors Based on a 2-Substituted Benzamide Zinc Binding Group.

Project description:The selectivity of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) is greatly impacted by the zinc binding groups. In an effort to search for novel zinc binding groups, we applied a parallel medicinal chemistry (PMC) strategy to quickly synthesize substituted benzamide libraries. We discovered a series containing 2-substituted benzamides as the zinc binding group which afforded highly selective and potent HDAC3 inhibitors, exemplified by compound 16 with a 2-methylthiobenzamide. Compound 16 inhibited HDAC3 with an IC50 of 30 nM and with unprecedented selectivity of >300-fold over all other HDAC isoforms. Interestingly, a subtle change of the 2-methylthio to a 2-hydroxy benzamide in 20 retains HDAC3 potency but loses all selectivity over HDAC 1 and 2. This significant difference in selectivity was rationalized by X-ray crystal structures of HDACis 16 and 20 bound to HDAC2, revealing different binding modes to the catalytic zinc ion. This series of HDAC3 selective inhibitors served as tool compounds for investigating the minimal set of HDAC isoforms that must be inhibited for the HIV latency activation in a Jurkat 2C4 cell model and potentially as leads for selective HDAC3 inhibitors for other indications.

Discovery of 2,4-1<i>H</i>-Imidazole Carboxamides as Potent and Selective TAK1 Inhibitors.

Project description:Herein we report the discovery of 2,4-1H-imidazole carboxamides as novel, biochemically potent, and kinome selective inhibitors of transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1). The target was subjected to a DNA-encoded chemical library (DECL) screen. After hit analysis a cluster of compounds was identified, which was based on a central pyrrole-2,4-1H-dicarboxamide scaffold, showing remarkable kinome selectivity. A scaffold-hop to the corresponding imidazole resulted in increased biochemical potency. Next, X-ray crystallography revealed a distinct binding mode compared to other TAK1 inhibitors. A benzylamide was found in a perpendicular orientation with respect to the core hinge-binding imidazole. Additionally, an unusual amide flip was observed in the kinase hinge region. Using structure-based drug design (SBDD), key substitutions at the pyrrolidine amide and the glycine resulted in a significant increase in biochemical potency.

Discovery of Novel N-Substituted Prolinamido Indazoles as Potent Rho Kinase Inhibitors and Vasorelaxation Agents.

Project description:Inhibitors of Rho kinase (ROCK) have potential therapeutic applicability in a wide range of diseases, such as hypertension, stroke, asthma and glaucoma. In a previous article, we described the lead discovery of DL0805, a new ROCK I inhibitor, showing potent inhibitory activity (IC50 6.7 ?M). Herein, we present the lead optimization of compound DL0805, resulting in the discovery of 24- and 39-fold more-active analogues 4a (IC50 0.27 ?M) and 4b (IC50 0.17 ?M), among other active analogues. Moreover, ex-vivo studies demonstrated that 4a and 4b exhibited comparable vasorelaxant activity to the approved drug fasudil in rat aortic rings. The research of a preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) indicated that the target compounds containing a ?-proline moiety have improved activity against ROCK I relative to analogues bearing an ?-proline moiety, and among the series of the derivatives with a ?-proline-derived indazole scaffold, the inhibitory activity of the target compounds with a benzyl substituent is superior to those with a benzoyl substituent.

Discovery of GSK8612, a Highly Selective and Potent TBK1 Inhibitor.

Project description:The serine/threonine protein kinase TBK1 (Tank-binding Kinase-1) is a noncanonical member of the IkB kinase (IKK) family. This kinase regulates signaling pathways in innate immunity, oncogenesis, energy homeostasis, autophagy, and neuroinflammation. Herein, we report the discovery and characterization of a novel potent and highly selective TBK1 inhibitor, GSK8612. In cellular assays, this small molecule inhibited toll-like receptor (TLR)3-induced interferon regulatory factor (IRF)3 phosphorylation in Ramos cells and type I interferon (IFN) secretion in primary human mononuclear cells. In THP1 cells, GSK8612 was able to inhibit secretion of interferon beta (IFNβ) in response to dsDNA and cGAMP, the natural ligand for STING. GSK8612 is a TBK1 small molecule inhibitor displaying an excellent selectivity profile and therefore represents an ideal probe to further dissect the biology of TBK1 in models of immunity, neuroinflammation, obesity, or cancer.

Discovery of a Highly Potent and Selective HDAC3 and HDAC8 PROTAC Dual Degrader

Project description:HDAC3 and HDAC8 are members of class I deacetylases involved in several biological mechanisms and represent a highly sought-after therapeutic target for drug development. It is historically challenging to develop selective deacetylase inhibitors due to their conserved catalytic domains. HDAC3 also has deacetylase-independent activity, which cannot be blocked by conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Recent advance in proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) provides an opportunity to eliminate the whole protein selectively, abolishing both enzymatic and scaffolding function. Here, we report a novel HDAC3/8 dual degrader YX968 that induces highly potent, rapid, and selective degradation of both HDAC3 and HDAC8 without trigging pan-HDAC inhibitory effects. Unbiased quantitative proteomics experiments further confirmed its high selectivity. This dual-specific degrader specifically ablates cellular pathways attributed to HDAC3 and HDAC8 and exhibits high potency in killing cancer cells. YX968 represents a new probe for dissecting the complex biological functions of HDAC3 and HDAC8.

Cardiovascular effects of a novel potent and highly selective azaindole-based inhibitor of Rho-kinase.

Project description:Background and purposeRho-kinase (ROCK) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of altered vasoregulation leading to hypertension. Here we describe the pharmacological characterization of a potent, highly selective and orally active ROCK inhibitor, the derivative of a class of azaindoles, azaindole 1 (6-chloro-N4-{3,5-difluoro-4-[(3-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridin-4-yl)oxy]-phenyl}pyrimidine-2,4-diamine).Experimental approachPharmacological characterization of azaindole 1 was performed with human recombinant ROCK in vitro. Vasodilator activity was determined using isolated vessels in vitro and different animal models in vivo.Key resultsThis compound inhibited the ROCK-1 and ROCK-2 isoenzymes with IC50 s of 0.6 and 1.1 nM in an ATP-competitive manner. Although ATP-competitive, azaindole 1 was inactive against 89 kinases (IC50>10 microM) and showed only weak activity against an additional 21 different kinases (IC50=1-10 microM). Only the kinases TRK und FLT3 were inhibited by azaindole 1 in the sub-micromolar range, albeit with IC50 values of 252 and 303 nM, respectively. In vivo, azaindole 1 lowered blood pressure dose-dependently after i.v. administration in anaesthetized normotensive rats. In conscious normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats azaindole 1 induced a dose-dependent decrease in blood pressure after oral administration without inducing a significant reflex increase in heart rate. In anaesthetized dogs, azaindole 1 induced vasodilatation with a moderately elevated heart rate.Conclusions and implicationsAzaindole 1 is representative of a new class of selective and potent ROCK inhibitors and is a valuable tool for the elucidation of the role of ROCK in the cardiovascular system.

Discovery of 2-(4-Substituted-piperidin/piperazine-1-yl)-N-(5-cyclopropyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-quinazoline-2,4-diamines as PAK4 Inhibitors with Potent A549 Cell Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion Inhibition Activity.

Project description:A series of novel 2,4-diaminoquinazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as p21-activated kinase 4 (PAK4) inhibitors. All compounds showed significant inhibitory activity against PAK4 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration IC50 < 1 ?M). Among them, compounds 8d and 9c demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity against PAK4 (IC50 = 0.060 ?M and 0.068 ?M, respectively). Furthermore, we observed that compounds 8d and 9c displayed potent antiproliferative activity against the A549 cell line and inhibited cell cycle distribution, migration, and invasion of this cell line. In addition, molecular docking analysis was performed to predict the possible binding mode of compound 8d. This series of compounds has the potential for further development as PAK4 inhibitors for anticancer activity.
