LP99: Discovery and Synthesis of the First Selective BRD7/9 Bromodomain Inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: The bromodomain-containing proteins BRD9 and BRD7 are part of the human SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes BAF and PBAF. To date, no selective inhibitor for BRD7/9 has been reported despite its potential value as a biological tool or as a lead for future therapeutics. The quinolone-fused lactam LP99 is now reported as the first potent and selective inhibitor of the BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains. Development of LP99 from a fragment hit was expedited through balancing structure-based inhibitor design and biophysical characterization against tractable chemical synthesis: Complexity-building nitro-Mannich/lactamization cascade processes allowed for early structure-activity relationship studies whereas an enantioselective organocatalytic nitro-Mannich reaction enabled the synthesis of the lead scaffold in enantioenriched form and on scale. This epigenetic probe was shown to inhibit the association of BRD7 and BRD9 to acetylated histones in?vitro and in cells. Moreover, LP99 was used to demonstrate that BRD7/9 plays a role in regulating pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion.

Rational Design and Development of Selective BRD7 Bromodomain Inhibitors and Their Activity in Prostate Cancer.

Project description:Bromodomain-containing proteins are readers of acetylated lysine and play important roles in cancer. Bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) is implicated in multiple malignancies; however, there are no selective chemical probes to study its function in disease. Using crystal structures of BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains (BDs) bound to BRD9-selective ligands, we identified a binding pocket exclusive to BRD7. We synthesized a series of ligands designed to occupy this binding region and identified two inhibitors with increased selectivity toward BRD7, 1-78 and 2-77, which bind with submicromolar affinity to the BRD7 BD. Our binding mode analyses indicate that these ligands occupy a uniquely accessible binding cleft in BRD7 and maintain key interactions with the asparagine and tyrosine residues critical for acetylated lysine binding. Finally, we validated the utility and selectivity of the compounds in cell-based models of prostate cancer.

Fragment-Based Discovery of a Selective and Cell-Active Benzodiazepinone CBP/EP300 Bromodomain Inhibitor (CPI-637).

Project description:CBP and EP300 are highly homologous, bromodomain-containing transcription coactivators involved in numerous cellular pathways relevant to oncology. As part of our effort to explore the potential therapeutic implications of selectively targeting bromodomains, we set out to identify a CBP/EP300 bromodomain inhibitor that was potent both in vitro and in cellular target engagement assays and was selective over the other members of the bromodomain family. Reported here is a series of cell-potent and selective probes of the CBP/EP300 bromodomains, derived from the fragment screening hit 4-methyl-1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepin-2-one.

Discovery of the natural product 3',4',7,8-tetrahydroxyflavone as a novel and potent selective BRD4 bromodomain 2 inhibitor.

Project description:Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) binds acetylated lysine residues on the N-terminal tails of histones through two bromodomains (BD1 and BD2) to regulate gene transcription. Inhibiting one or both of bromodomains resulted in different phenotypes, suggesting BD1 and BD2 may have different functions. Here we report the characterisation of a natural product 3',4',7,8-tetrahydroxyflavone as a novel and potent selective BRD4 inhibitor. The compound is 100-fold more selective for BRD4-BD2 (IC50 = 204 nM) than BRD4-BD1 (IC50=17.9 µM). Co-crystal structures show 3',4',7,8-tetrahydroxyflavone binds to the acetylated lysine binding pocket of BRD4-BD1 or BRD4-BD2, but establishes more interactions with BRD4-BD2 than BRD4-BD1. Our data suggest 3',4',7,8-tetrahydroxyflavone as a potent selective inhibitor of BRD4-BD2 with a novel chemical scaffold. Given its distinct chemical structure from current BRD4 inhibitors, this compound may open the door for a novel class of anti-BRD4 inhibitors by serving as a lead compound.

In silico quest of selective naphthyl-based CREBBP bromodomain inhibitor.

Project description:The reader proteins like bromodomains have recently gained increased attentions in the area of epigenetic drug discovery, as they are the potent regulators in gene transcription process. Among the other bromodomains, cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) binding protein or CREBBP bomodomain involved in various cancer progressions and therefore, efforts to develop specific inhibitors of CREBBP bomodomain are of clinical value. In this study, we tried to identify selective CREBBP bromodomain inhibitor, which was accomplished by using molecular docking, free energy calculation and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation studies, considering a series of naphthyl based compounds. The docking procedure was validated by comparing root mean square deviations (RMSDs) of crystallographic complex to docked complex. Favorable electrostatic interactions with the Arg1173 side chain were considered to attain selectivity for CREBBP bromodomain over other human bromodomain subfamilies. We found that naphthyl-based compounds have greater binding affinities towards the CREBBP bromodomain, and formed non-bonded interactions with various side chain residues that are important for bromodomain inhibition. From detailed investigation by induced fit docking, compound 31 was found to have favorable electrostatic interactions with the Arg1173 side chain by forming conventional hydrogen bonds. This result was further confirmed by analyzing hydrogen bond occupancy and bonding distance during the molecular dynamics simulation. We believe that these findings offer useful insight for the designing of target specific new bromodomain inhibitor and also promote further structure guided synthesis of analogues for identification of potent CREBBP bromodomain inhibitors as well as detailed in vitro and in vivo analyses.

Discovery of the First Potent and Selective Inhibitor of Centromere-Associated Protein E: GSK923295.

Project description:Inhibition of mitotic kinesins represents a novel approach for the discovery of a new generation of anti-mitotic cancer chemotherapeutics. We report here the discovery of the first potent and selective inhibitor of centromere-associated protein E (CENP-E) 3-chloro-N-{(1S)-2-[(N,N-dimethylglycyl)amino]-1-[(4-{8-[(1S)-1-hydroxyethyl]imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl}phenyl)methyl]ethyl}-4-[(1-methylethyl)oxy]benzamide (GSK923295; 1), starting from a high-throughput screening hit, 3-chloro-4-isopropoxybenzoic acid 2. Compound 1 has demonstrated broad antitumor activity in vivo and is currently in human clinical trials.

CBP30, a selective CBP/p300 bromodomain inhibitor, suppresses human Th17 responses.

Project description:Th17 responses are critical to a variety of human autoimmune diseases, and therapeutic targeting with monoclonal antibodies against IL-17 and IL-23 has shown considerable promise. Here, we report data to support selective bromodomain blockade of the transcriptional coactivators CBP (CREB binding protein) and p300 as an alternative approach to inhibit human Th17 responses. We show that CBP30 has marked molecular specificity for the bromodomains of CBP and p300, compared with 43 other bromodomains. In unbiased cellular testing on a diverse panel of cultured primary human cells, CBP30 reduced immune cell production of IL-17A and other proinflammatory cytokines. CBP30 also inhibited IL-17A secretion by Th17 cells from healthy donors and patients with ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis. Transcriptional profiling of human T cells after CBP30 treatment showed a much more restricted effect on gene expression than that observed with the pan-BET (bromo and extraterminal domain protein family) bromodomain inhibitor JQ1. This selective targeting of the CBP/p300 bromodomain by CBP30 will potentially lead to fewer side effects than with the broadly acting epigenetic inhibitors currently in clinical trials.

Rational design and development of selective BRD7 bromodomain inhibitors and their activity in prostate cancer

Project description:Bromodomain-containing proteins are readers of acetylated lysine and play important roles in cancer.1,2 Bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) has been implicated in multiple malignancies; however, there are no selective chemical probes to study its function in disease.3–13 Using crystal structures of BRD7 and BRD9 bromodomains (BDs) bound to BRD9-selective ligands, we identified a hydrophobic region unique to BRD7. We synthesized a series of ligands designed to occupy this binding region and identified two BRD7-selective inhibitors, 1-78 and 2-77, which show high affinity for the BRD7 BD and selectivity over the BRD9 BD using thermal shift assays and competitive fluorescence polarization. Our binding mode analyses indicate that these ligands occupy the hydrophobic region in BRD7 and maintain key interactions with the Asn and Tyr residues critical for acetyllysine binding. Finally, we validated the utility and selectivity of the compounds in cell-based models of prostate cancer. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of LNCaP cells with or without drug treatment.

Structure-Based Discovery of CF53 as a Potent and Orally Bioavailable Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) Bromodomain Inhibitor.

Project description:We report the structure-based discovery of CF53 (28) as a highly potent and orally active inhibitor of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins. By the incorporation of a NH-pyrazole group into the 9H-pyrimido[4,5- b]indole core, we identified a series of compounds that bind to BRD4 BD1 protein with Ki values of <1 nM and achieve low nanomolar potencies in the cell growth inhibition of leukemia and breast cancer cells. The most-promising compound, CF53, possesses excellent oral pharmacokinetic properties and achieves significant antitumor activity in both triple-negative breast cancer and acute leukemia xenograft models in mice. Determination of the co-crystal structure of CF53 with the BRD4 BD1 protein provides a structural basis for its high binding affinity to BET proteins. CF53 is very selective over non-BET bromodomain-containing proteins. These data establish CF53 as a potent, selective, and orally active BET inhibitor, which warrants further evaluation for advanced preclinical development.

Discovery of the First Selective Nanomolar Inhibitors of ERAP2 by Kinetic Target-Guided Synthesis.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2) is a key enzyme involved in the trimming of antigenic peptides presented by Major Histocompatibility Complex class I. It is a target of growing interest for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and in cancer immunotherapy. However, the discovery of potent and selective ERAP2 inhibitors is highly challenging. Herein, we have used kinetic target-guided synthesis (KTGS) to identify such inhibitors. Co-crystallization experiments revealed the binding mode of three different inhibitors with increasing potency and selectivity over related enzymes. Selected analogues engage ERAP2 in cells and inhibit antigen presentation in a cellular context. 4 d (BDM88951) displays favorable in vitro ADME properties and in vivo exposure. In summary, KTGS allowed the discovery of the first nanomolar and selective highly promising ERAP2 inhibitors that pave the way of the exploration of the biological roles of this enzyme and provide lead compounds for drug discovery efforts.
