Structure-Based Design of 1,4-Dibenzoylpiperazines as ?-Catenin/B-Cell Lymphoma 9 Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitors.


ABSTRACT: A small-molecule inhibitor with a 1,4-dibenzoylpiperazine scaffold was designed to match the critical binding elements in the ?-catenin/B-cell lymphoma 9 (BCL9) protein-protein interaction interface. Inhibitor optimization led to a potent inhibitor that can disrupt the ?-catenin/BCL9 interaction and exhibit 98-fold selectivity over the ?-catenin/cadherin interaction. The binding mode of new inhibitors was characterized by structure-activity relationships and site-directed mutagenesis studies. Cell-based studies demonstrated that this series of inhibitors can selectively suppress canonical Wnt signaling and inhibit growth of Wnt/?-catenin-dependent cancer cells.
