Selective and Potent Proteomimetic Inhibitors of Intracellular Protein-Protein Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Inhibition of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) represents a major challenge in chemical biology and drug discovery. ?-Helix mediated PPIs may be amenable to modulation using generic chemotypes, termed "proteomimetics", which can be assembled in a modular manner to reproduce the vectoral presentation of key side chains found on a helical motif from one partner within the PPI. In this work, it is demonstrated that by using a library of N-alkylated aromatic oligoamide helix mimetics, potent helix mimetics which reproduce their biophysical binding selectivity in a cellular context can be identified.

Small-molecule proteomimetic inhibitors of the HIF-1?-p300 protein-protein interaction.

Project description:The therapeutically relevant hypoxia inducible factor HIF-1?-p300 protein-protein interaction can be orthosterically inhibited with ?-helix mimetics based on an oligoamide scaffold that recapitulates essential features of the C-terminal helix of the HIF-1? C-TAD (C-terminal transactivation domain). Preliminary SAR studies demonstrated the important role of side-chain size and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity in determining potency. These small molecules represent the first biophysically characterised HIF-1?-p300 PPI inhibitors and the first examples of small-molecule aromatic oligoamide helix mimetics to be shown to have a selective binding profile. Although the compounds were less potent than HIF-1?, the result is still remarkable in that the mimetic reproduces only three residues from the 42-residue HIF-1? C-TAD from which it is derived.

Development of potent and selective KDM5 covalent inhibitors

Project description:Histone lysine demethylase (KDMs) are involved in the dynamic regulation of gene expression by reversible regulation of the methylation levels on lysine residues in histone tails. Among the KDMs, the jumonji (JmjC)-domain-containing KDMs (KDM2-7) are Fe(II), 2- OG (α-ketoglutarate) and molecular oxygen-dependent enzymes that employ an oxygenase mechanism to demethylate specific methylation states at various histone sites. KDMs play a critical role in several biological processes such as cell differentiation, inflammation, cancer progression and resistance. Achieving selectivity over the different families of KDMs has been a major challenge. Here we report potent and selective KDM5 covalent inhibitors designed to target a cysteine residue only present in the KDM5 sub-family. In vitro assays show that compounds are selective for the KDM5 sub-family, showing potencies in the low nanomolar range, with higher affinity for KDM5A/B. The covalent binding to the targeted proteins was proved by MS. A kinetic approach was studied in order to describe the components of overall inhibitor potency (reversible binding and chemical reactivity), showing a time-dependent decrease of IC50 values for irreversible inhibition. Additional 2-OG competition assays show that compounds were non 2-OG competitive and target engagement and ChIPs-seq assays showed that the compounds inhibited the KDM5 members in cells in the low micromolar and they induce a global increase of the H3K4Me3 mark.

Binary combinatorial scanning reveals potent poly-alanine-substituted inhibitors of protein-protein interactions.

Project description:Establishing structure-activity relationships is crucial to understand and optimize the activity of peptide-based inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. Single alanine substitutions provide limited information on the residues that tolerate simultaneous modifications with retention of biological activity. To guide optimization of peptide binders, we use combinatorial peptide libraries of over 4,000 variants-in which each position is varied with either the wild-type residue or alanine-with a label-free affinity selection platform to study protein-ligand interactions. Applying this platform to a peptide binder to the oncogenic protein MDM2, several multi-alanine-substituted analogs with picomolar binding affinity were discovered. We reveal a non-additive substitution pattern in the selected sequences. The alanine substitution tolerances for peptide ligands of the 12ca5 antibody and 14-3-3 regulatory protein are also characterized, demonstrating the general applicability of this new platform. We envision that binary combinatorial alanine scanning will be a powerful tool for investigating structure-activity relationships.

Rational design of topographical helix mimics as potent inhibitors of protein-protein interactions.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions encompass large surface areas, but often a handful of key residues dominate the binding energy landscape. Rationally designed small molecule scaffolds that reproduce the relative positioning and disposition of important binding residues, termed "hotspot residues", have been shown to successfully inhibit specific protein complexes. Although this strategy has led to development of novel synthetic inhibitors of protein complexes, often direct mimicry of natural amino acid residues does not lead to potent inhibitors. Experimental screening of focused compound libraries is used to further optimize inhibitors but the number of possible designs that can be efficiently synthesized and experimentally tested in academic settings is limited. We have applied the principles of computational protein design to optimization of nonpeptidic helix mimics as ligands for protein complexes. We describe the development of computational tools to design helix mimetics from canonical and noncanonical residue libraries and their application to two therapeutically important protein-protein interactions: p53-MDM2 and p300-HIF1α. The overall study provides a streamlined approach for discovering potent peptidomimetic inhibitors of protein-protein interactions.

Structure Based Design of Potent Selective Inhibitors of Protein Kinase D1 (PKD1).

Project description:We previously disclosed a series of type I 1/2 inhibitors of NF-κB inducing kinase (NIK). Inhibition of NIK by these compounds was found to be strongly dependent on the inclusion and absolute stereochemistry of a propargyl tertiary alcohol as it forms critical hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) with NIK. We report that inhibition of protein kinase D1 (PKD1) by this class of compounds is not dependent on H-bond interactions of this tertiary alcohol. This feature was leveraged in the design of highly selective inhibitors of PKD1 that no longer inhibit NIK. A structure-based hypothesis based on the position and flexibility of the α-C-helix of PKD1 vs NIK is presented.

Discovery of Potent and Selective Covalent Protein Arginine Methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) Inhibitors.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is known to symmetrically dimethylate numerous cytosolic and nuclear proteins that are involved in a variety of cellular processes. Recent findings have revealed its potential as a cancer therapeutic target. PRMT5 possesses a cysteine (C449) in the active site, unique to PRMT5. Therefore, covalent PRMT5 inhibition is an attractive chemical approach. Herein, we report an exciting discovery of a series of novel hemiaminals that under physiological conditions can be converted to aldehydes and react with C449 to form covalent adducts, which presumably undergo an unprecedented elimination to form the thiol-vinyl ethers, as indicated by electron density in the co-crystal structure of the PRMT5/MEP50 complex.

Replacement of Chalcone-Ethers with Chalcone-Thioethers as Potent and Highly Selective Monoamine Oxidase-B Inhibitors and Their Protein-Ligand Interactions.

Project description:To develop new potent and highly selective MAO-B inhibitors from chalcone-thioethers, eleven chalcones-thioethers were synthesized and their monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition, kinetics, reversibility, and cytotoxicity of lead compounds were analyzed. Molecular dynamics were carried out to investigate the interactions. Compound TM8 showed potent inhibitory activity against MAO-B, with an IC50 value of 0.010 µM, followed by TM1, TM2, TM7, and TM10 (IC50 = 0.017, 0.021, 0.023, and 0.026 µM, respectively). Interestingly, TM8 had an extremely high selectivity index (SI; 4860) for MAO-B. Reversibility and kinetic experiments showed that TM8 and TM1 were reversible and competitive inhibitors of MAO-B with Ki values of 0.0031 ± 0.0013 and 0.011± 0.001 µM, respectively. Both TM1 and TM8 were non-toxic to Vero cells with IC50 values of 241.8 and 116.3 µg/mL (i.e., 947.7 and 402.4 µM), respectively, and at these IC50 values, both significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. TM1 and TM8 showed high blood-brain barrier permeabilities in the parallel artificial membrane permeability assay. Molecular dynamics studies were conducted to investigate interactions between TM1 and TM8 and the active site of MAO-B. Conclusively, TM8 and TM1 are potent and highly selective MAO-B inhibitors with little toxicity and good ROS scavenging abilities and it is suggested that both are attractive prospective candidates for the treatment of neurological disorders.

Identification of selective and potent inhibitors of fibroblast activation protein and prolyl oligopeptidase.

Project description:Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a serine protease selectively expressed on reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial carcinomas. It is widely believed to play a role in tumor invasion and metastasis and therefore to represent a potential new drug target for cancer. Investigation into its biological function, however, has been hampered by the current unavailability of selective inhibitors. The challenge has been in identifying inhibitors that are selective for FAP over both the dipeptidyl peptidases (DPPs), with which it shares exopeptidase specificity, and prolyl oligopeptidase (PREP), with which it shares endopeptidase specificity. Here, we report the first potent FAP inhibitor with selectivity over both the DPPs and PREP, N-(pyridine-4-carbonyl)-d-Ala-boroPro (ARI-3099, 6). We also report a similarly potent and selective PREP inhibitor, N-(pyridine-3-carbonyl)-Val-boroPro (ARI-3531, 22). Both are boronic acid based inhibitors, demonstrating that high selectivity can be achieved using this electrophile. The inhibitors are stable, easy to synthesize, and should prove to be useful in helping to elucidate the biological functions of these two unique and interesting enzymes, as well as their potential as drug targets.
