Discovery of Potent c-MET Inhibitors with New Scaffold Having Different Quinazoline, Pyridine and Tetrahydro-Pyridothienopyrimidine Headgroups.

ABSTRACT: Cellular mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) is closely linked to human malignancies, which makes it an important target for treatment of cancer. In this study, a series of 3-methoxy-N-phenylbenzamide derivatives, N-(3-(tert-butyl)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) benzamide derivatives and N¹-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-N³-(4-fluorophenyl) malonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized, some of them were identified as c-MET inhibitors. Among these compounds with new scaffolds having different quinazoline, pyridine and tetrahydro-pyridothienopyrimidine head groups, compound 11c, 11i, 13b, 13h exhibited both potent inhibitory activities against c-MET and high anticancer activity against tested cancer cell lines in vitro. In addition, kinase selectivity assay further demonstrated that both 13b and 13h are potent and selective c-MET inhibitors. Molecular docking supported that they bound well to c-MET and VEGFR2, which demonstrates that they are potential c-MET RTK inhibitors for cancer therapy.

Discovery of novel quinazoline derivatives bearing semicarbazone moiety as potent EGFR kinase inhibitors.

Project description:Aimed at discovering effective EGFR inhibitors, six series of quinazoline derivatives bearing a semicarbazone moiety were designed, synthesized and evaluated in different cancer cell lines (A549, HepG2, MCF-7 and PC-3). Most of the selected compounds showed remarkable cytotoxicity with IC50 values reaching the nanomole range. Further, the inhibition efficacy of 11 compounds against EGFR kinases was tested, which demonstrated excellent IC50 values in nanomolar level. Importantly, 2 compounds exhibited IC50 values of 0.05?nM and 0.1?nM against wild type EGFR respectively, suggesting more potent activities than that of the positive control, Afatinib (4.0?nM). Excitingly, 2 compounds showed excellent enzyme inhibitory activity with 8.6?nM and 5.6?nM for double T790?M/L858R mutant EGFRs, which is almost the same as Afatinib (3.8?nM). Structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis indicated that the type of small molecule amine in pyrrole moiety or the chain length of pyrrolamine moiety had no obvious impact on the inhibition efficacy of our synthesized compounds against cancer cells. In addition, results of cell cycle analysis indicated that the G2/M phase of A549 cells was efficiently arrested by the selected compounds. These preliminary results demonstrate that 2 compounds may be promising lead compound-targeting EGFR.

Discovery of a new series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine compounds as selective c-Met inhibitors.

Project description:Aberrant c-Met activation plays a critical role in cancer formation, progression and dissemination, as well as in development of resistance to anticancer drugs. Therefore, c-Met has emerged as an attractive target for cancer therapy. The aim of this study was to develop new c-Met inhibitors and elaborate the structure-activity relationships of identified inhibitors.Based on the predicted binding modes of Compounds 5 and 14 in docking studies, a new series of c-Met inhibitor-harboring 3-((1H-pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridin-1-yl)sulfonyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffolds was discovered. Potent inhibitors were identified through extensive optimizations combined with enzymatic and cellular assays. A promising compound was further investigated in regard to its selectivity, its effects on c-Met signaling, cell proliferation and cell scattering in vitro.The most potent Compound 31 inhibited c-Met kinase activity with an IC50 value of 12.8 nmol/L, which was >78-fold higher than those of a panel of 16 different tyrosine kinases. Compound 31 (8, 40, 200 nmol/L) dose-dependently inhibited the phosphorylation of c-Met and its key downstream Akt and ERK signaling cascades in c-Met aberrant human EBC-1 cancer cells. In 12 human cancer cell lines harboring different background levels of c-Met expression/activation, Compound 31 potently inhibited c-Met-driven cell proliferation. Furthermore, Compound 31 dose-dependently impaired c-Met-mediated cell scattering of MDCK cells.This series of c-Met inhibitors is a promising lead for development of novel anticancer drugs.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine Derivatives as Potent c-Met Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives against c-Met was designed by means of bioisosteric replacement. In this study, a selective, potent c-Met inhibitor, 22e was identified, with IC50 values of 3.9 nM against c-Met kinase and 45.0 nM against c-Met-addicted EBC-1 cell proliferation, respectively. Compound 22e inhibited c-Met phosphorylation and downstream signaling across different oncogenic forms in c-Met overactivated cancer cells and model cells. Compound 22e significantly inhibited tumor growth (TGI = 75%) with good oral bioavailability (F = 29%) and no significant hERG inhibition. On the basis of systematic metabolic study, the pathway of all possible metabolites of 22e in liver microsomes of different species has been proposed, and a major NADPH-dependent metabolite 33 was generated by liver microsomes. To block the metabolic site, 42 was designed and synthesized for further evaluation. Taken together, the imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine scaffold showed promising pharmacological inhibition of c-Met and warrants further investigation.

Together with preliminary rodent pharmacokinetic results, a new lead (65, CN427) is identified which is suitable for further lead optimization.

Discovery of highly potent SARS-CoV-2 M<sup>pro</sup> inhibitors based on benzoisothiazolone scaffold.

Project description:The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted global economies and public health. Although vaccine development has been successful, it was not sufficient against more infectious mutant strains including the Delta variant indicating a need for alternative treatment strategies such as small molecular compound development. In this work, a series of SARS-CoV-2 main protease (Mpro) inhibitors were designed and tested based on the active compound from high-throughput diverse compound library screens. The most efficacious compound (16b-3) displayed potent SARS-CoV-2 Mpro inhibition with an IC50 value of 116 nM and selectivity against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro when compared to PLpro and RdRp. This new class of compounds could be used as potential leads for further optimization in anti COVID-19 drug discovery.

Discovery of novel coumarin derivatives as potent and orally bioavailable BRD4 inhibitors based on scaffold hopping.

Project description:The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) bromodomains, particularly BRD4, have been identified as promising therapeutic targets in the treatment of many human disorders such as cancer, inflammation, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Recently, the discovery of novel BRD4 inhibitors has garnered substantial interest. Starting from scaffold hopping of the reported compound dihydroquinazolinone (PFI-1), a series of coumarin derivatives were designed and synthesised as a new chemotype of BRD4 inhibitors. Interestingly, the representative compounds 13 exhibited potent BRD4 binding affinity and cell proliferation inhibitory activity, and especially displayed a favourable PK profile with high oral bioavailability (F = 49.38%) and metabolic stability (T1/2 = 4.2 h), meaningfully making it as a promising lead compound for further drug development.

Optimization of Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability with Potent and Selective Human Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitors Having a 2-Aminopyridine Scaffold.

Project description:Effective delivery of therapeutic drugs into the human brain is one of the most challenging tasks in central nervous system drug development because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome the BBB, both passive permeability and efflux transporter liability of a compound must be addressed. Herein, we report our optimization related to BBB penetration of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibitors toward the development of new drugs for neurodegenerative diseases. Various approaches, including enhancing lipophilicity and rigidity of new inhibitors and modulating the p Ka of amino groups, have been employed. In addition to determining inhibitor potency and selectivity, crystal structures of most newly designed compounds complexed to various nitric oxide synthase isoforms have been determined. We have discovered a new analogue (21), which exhibits not only excellent potency ( Ki < 30 nM) in nNOS inhibition but also a significantly low P-glycoprotein and breast-cancer-resistant protein substrate liability as indicated by an efflux ratio of 0.8 in the Caco-2 bidirectional assay.
