A Scaffold Merging Approach to Hsp90 C-terminal Inhibition: Synthesis and Evaluation of a Chimeric Library.

ABSTRACT: Inhibition of the Hsp90 C-terminus is an attractive therapeutic paradigm for the treatment of cancer, however the developmental space of C-terminal inhibitors is limited. It was hypothesized that the combination of two previously identified scaffolds into a single structure could provide a platform for which to probe the three-dimensional space within the Hsp90 C-terminal binding pocket. The resulting chimeric compounds displayed anti-proliferative activity at low micromolar concentrations and manifested inhibitory activity in an Hsp90-dependent rematuration assay. Initial structure-activity relationships suggest that this new scaffold binds Hsp90 in a conformation different from that of the parent compounds, and consequently, provides a new opportunity to develop more efficacious inhibitors of the Hsp90 C-terminal binding pocket.

Identification of a new scaffold for hsp90 C-terminal inhibition.

Project description:Inhibition of Hsp90 C-terminal function is an advantageous therapeutic paradigm for the treatment of cancer. Currently, the majority of Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors are derived from novobiocin, a natural product traditionally used as an antibiotic. Assisted by molecular docking studies, a scaffold containing a biphenyl moiety in lieu of the coumarin ring system found in novobiocin was identified for development of new Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors. Initial structure-activity studies led to derivatives that manifest good antiproliferative activity against two breast cancer cell lines through Hsp90 inhibition. This platform serves as a scaffold upon which new Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors can be readily assembled for further investigation.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Stilbene Analogues as Hsp90 C-Terminal Inhibitors.

Project description:The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of stilbene-based novobiocin analogues is reported. Replacement of the biaryl amide side chain with a triazole side chain produced compounds that exhibited good antiproliferative activities. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibition was observed when N-methylpiperidine was replaced with acyclic tertiary amines on the stilbene analogues that also contain a triazole-derived side chain. These studies revealed that ?24?Å is the optimal length for compounds that exhibit good antiproliferative activity as a result of Hsp90 inhibition.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of alkylamino biphenylamides as Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors.

Project description:Hsp90 is a promising therapeutic target for the development of anti-cancer agents due to its integral role in the stability and function of proteins associated with all ten hallmarks of cancer. Novobiocin, a coumarin antibiotic, was the first natural product identified that targeted the Hsp90 C-terminal domain and manifested anti-proliferative activity (SKBr3 IC50?700?M). Subsequent structural investigations on novobiocin led to analogues with significantly improved anti-proliferative activity against multiple cancer cell lines. In an effort to develop more efficacious and diverse analogues, it was recently found that the coumarin ring of novobiocin could be replaced with the biphenyl core without compromising activity. Based on these prior studies, a series of alkylamino biphenylamides was designed, synthesized and evaluated for anti-proliferative activity against two breast cancer cell lines. SAR studies demonstrated that the incorporation of an alkylamino side chain onto the biphenyl core improved anti-proliferative activity and resulted in compounds that exhibit sub-micromolar to mid-nanomolar activity through Hsp90 inhibition. Importantly, these studies indicate the presence of a hydrophilic region about the central core that can be exploited for the design of new inhibitors.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of biphenylamide derivatives as Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors.

Project description:Modulation of Hsp90 C-terminal function represents a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Current drug discovery efforts toward Hsp90 C-terminal inhibition focus on novobiocin, an antibiotic that was transformed into an Hsp90 inhibitor. Based on structural information obtained during the development of novobiocin derivatives and molecular docking studies, scaffolds containing a biphenyl moiety in lieu of the coumarin ring present in novobiocin were identified as new Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship studies produced new derivatives that inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell lines at nanomolar concentrations, which corresponded directly with Hsp90 inhibition.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of ring-constrained novobiocin analogues as hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors.

Project description:Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitors represent a novel and alternative chemotherapeutic approach for the treatment of cancer. Novobiocin was the first natural product identified as an Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitor; however, it manifests poor antiproliferative activity. In contrast to N-terminal inhibitors, novobiocin does not induce the pro-survival heat shock response. Structural investigations on novobiocin have elucidated some structure-activity relationships and several promising compounds. On the basis of structure-activity relationships and computational studies, a library of ring-constrained novobiocin analogues was designed, synthesized, and evaluated in antiproliferative assays. Results obtained from these studies provide insights into the Hsp90 C-terminal binding site, and new analogues that were developed manifest low micromolar to mid-nanomolar antiproliferative activity resulting from Hsp90 inhibition.

Synthesis and evaluation of a ring-constrained Hsp90 C-terminal inhibitor that exhibits neuroprotective activity.

Project description:KU-596 is a second-generation C-terminal heat shock protein 90 KDa (Hsp90) modulator based on the natural product, novobiocin. KU-596 has been shown to induce Hsp70 levels and manifest neuroprotective activity through induction of the heat shock response. A ring-constrained analog of KU-596 was designed and synthesized to probe its binding orientation and ability to induce Hsp70 levels. Compound 2 was found to exhibit comparable or increased activity compared to KU-596, which is under clinical investigation for the treatment of neuropathy.

Synthesis and evaluation of novologues as C-terminal Hsp90 inhibitors with cytoprotective activity against sensory neuron glucotoxicity.

Project description:Compound 2 (KU-32) is a first-generation novologue (a novobiocin-based, C-terminal, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor) that decreases glucose-induced death of primary sensory neurons and reverses numerous clinical indices of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in mice. The current study sought to exploit the C-terminal binding site of Hsp90 to determine whether the optimization of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions of second-generation novologues could enhance neuroprotective activity. Using a series of substituted phenylboronic acids to replace the coumarin lactone of 2, we identified that electronegative atoms placed at the meta-position of the B-ring exhibit improved cytoprotective activity, which is believed to result from favorable interactions with Lys539 in the Hsp90 C-terminal binding pocket. Consistent with these results, a meta-3-fluorophenyl substituted novologue (13b) exhibited a 14-fold lower ED(50) for protection against glucose-induced toxicity of primary sensory neurons compared to 2.

Hsp90 Inhibition: A Promising Therapeutic Approach for ARSACS.

Project description:Autosomal recessive spastic ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the SACS gene, encoding the 520 kDa modular protein sacsin, which comprises multiple functional sequence domains that suggest a role either as a scaffold in protein folding or in proteostasis. Cells from patients with ARSACS display a distinct phenotype including altered organisation of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton and a hyperfused mitochondrial network where mitochondrial respiration is compromised. Here, we used vimentin bundling as a biomarker of sacsin function to test the therapeutic potential of Hsp90 inhibition with the C-terminal-domain-targeted compound KU-32, which has demonstrated mitochondrial activity. This study shows that ARSACS patient cells have significantly increased vimentin bundling compared to control, and this was also present in ARSACS carriers despite them being asymptomatic. We found that KU-32 treatment significantly reduced vimentin bundling in carrier and patient cells. We also found that cells from patients with ARSACS were unable to maintain mitochondrial membrane potential upon challenge with mitotoxins, and that the electron transport chain function was restored upon KU-32 treatment. Our preliminary findings presented here suggest that targeting the heat-shock response by Hsp90 inhibition alleviates vimentin bundling and may represent a promising area for the development of therapeutics for ARSACS.

Purine-scaffold Hsp90 inhibitors.

Project description:Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone with important roles in regulating the function of several proteins with potential pathogenic activity. Because many of these proteins are involved in cancer and neurodegenerative promoting pathways, Hsp90 has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target in these diseases. Molecules that bind to the N-terminal nucleotide pocket of Hsp90 inhibit its activity, and consequently, disrupt client protein function. A number of these inhibitors from several chemical classes are now known, and some are already in clinical trials. This review focuses on the purine class of Hsp90 inhibitors, their discovery through rational design, and on efforts aimed towards their optimization and development into clinically viable drugs for the treatment of cancer. Their potential towards neurodegenerative diseases will also be touched upon.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of small molecule Hsp90 probes.

Project description:A number of compounds from different chemical classes are known to bind competitively to the ATP-pocket of Hsp90 and inhibit its chaperone function. The natural product geldanamycin was the first reported inhibitor of Hsp90 and since then synthetic inhibitors from purine, isoxazole and indazol-4-one chemical classes have been discovered and are currently or soon to be in clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. In spite of a similar binding mode to Hsp90, distinct biological profiles were demonstrated among these molecules, both in vitro and in vivo. To better understand the molecular basis for these dissimilarities, we report here the synthesis of chemical tools for three Hsp90 inhibitor classes. These agents will be useful for probing tumor-by-tumor the Hsp90 complexes isolated by specific inhibitors. Such information will lead to better understanding of tumor specific molecular markers to aid in their clinical development. It will also help to elucidate the molecular basis for the biological differences observed among Hsp90 inhibitors.
