Design of chemically stable, potent, and efficacious MDM2 inhibitors that exploit the retro-mannich ring-opening-cyclization reaction mechanism in spiro-oxindoles.


ABSTRACT: Inhibition of the MDM2-p53 protein-protein interaction is being actively pursued as a new anticancer therapeutic strategy, and spiro-oxindoles have been designed as a class of potent and efficacious small-molecule inhibitors of this interaction (MDM2 inhibitors). Our previous study showed that some of our first-generation spiro-oxindoles undergo a reversible ring-opening-cyclization reaction that, from a single compound in protic solution, results in an equilibrium mixture of four diastereoisomers. By exploiting the ring-opening-cyclization reaction mechanism, we have designed and synthesized a series of second-generation spiro-oxindoles with symmetrical pyrrolidine C2 substitution. These compounds undergo a rapid and irreversible conversion to a single, stable diastereoisomer. Our study has yielded compound 31 (MI-1061), which binds to MDM2 with Ki = 0.16 nM, shows excellent chemical stability, and achieves tumor regression in the SJSA-1 xenograft tumor model in mice.
