Discovery of GSK8612, a Highly Selective and Potent TBK1 Inhibitor.

ABSTRACT: The serine/threonine protein kinase TBK1 (Tank-binding Kinase-1) is a noncanonical member of the IkB kinase (IKK) family. This kinase regulates signaling pathways in innate immunity, oncogenesis, energy homeostasis, autophagy, and neuroinflammation. Herein, we report the discovery and characterization of a novel potent and highly selective TBK1 inhibitor, GSK8612. In cellular assays, this small molecule inhibited toll-like receptor (TLR)3-induced interferon regulatory factor (IRF)3 phosphorylation in Ramos cells and type I interferon (IFN) secretion in primary human mononuclear cells. In THP1 cells, GSK8612 was able to inhibit secretion of interferon beta (IFN?) in response to dsDNA and cGAMP, the natural ligand for STING. GSK8612 is a TBK1 small molecule inhibitor displaying an excellent selectivity profile and therefore represents an ideal probe to further dissect the biology of TBK1 in models of immunity, neuroinflammation, obesity, or cancer.

Discovery of a Highly Potent and Selective Indenoindolone Type 1 Pan-FLT3 Inhibitor.

Project description:For a subpopulation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, the mutationally activated tyrosine kinase FLT3, has emerged as a promising target for therapy. The development of drug resistance due to mutation is a growing concern for mutant FLT3 inhibitors, such as PKC412, Quizartinib, PLX3397, and Crenolanib. Thus, there is a need to develop novel FLT3 inhibitors that overcome these mutations. Here we report the development of a novel type I ATP competitive inhibitor, JH-IX-179, that is extremely potent and selective for FLT3. JH-IX-179 also has the highest affinity for three constitutively active isoforms of FLT3 (FLT3-ITD, FLT3-N841I, and FLT3-D835V) compared to a panel 456 other kinases. The unique and specific kinase inhibition profile suggests that this chemotype may represent an attractive starting point for the development of further improved FLT3 inhibitors with therapeutic potential in tumors harboring deregulated FLT3 activity.

Discovery of the Highly Selective and Potent STAT3 Inhibitor for Pancreatic Cancer Treatment.

Project description:Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an attractive cancer therapeutic target. Unfortunately, targeting STAT3 with small molecules has proven to be very challenging, and for full activation of STAT3, the cooperative phosphorylation of both tyrosine 705 (Tyr705) and serine 727 (Ser727) is needed. Further, a selective inhibitor of STAT3 dual phosphorylation has not been developed. Here, we identified a low nanomolar potency and highly selective small-molecule STAT3 inhibitor that simultaneously inhibits both STAT3 Tyr705 and Ser727 phosphorylation. YY002 potently inhibited STAT3-dependent tumor cell growth in vitro and achieved potent suppression of tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. More importantly, YY002 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetics, an acceptable safety profile, and superior antitumor efficacy compared to BBI608 (STAT3 inhibitor that has advanced into phase III trials). For the mechanism, YY002 is selectively bound to the STAT3 Src Homology 2 (SH2) domain over other STAT members, which strongly suppressed STAT3 nuclear and mitochondrial functions in STAT3-dependent cells. Collectively, this study suggests the potential of small-molecule STAT3 inhibitors as possible anticancer therapeutic agents.

Discovery of a Highly Potent and Selective MEK Inhibitor: GSK1120212 (JTP-74057 DMSO Solvate).

Project description:Inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) represents a promising strategy for the discovery of a new generation of anticancer chemotherapeutics. Our synthetic efforts, beginning from the lead compound 2, were directed at improving antiproliferative activity against cancer cells as well as various drug properties. These efforts led to the discovery of N-{3-[3-cyclopropyl-5-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenylamino)-6,8-dimethyl-2,4,7-trioxo-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]phenyl}acetamide dimethylsulfoxide solvate (GSK1120212, JTP-74057 DMSO solvate; 1), a selective and highly potent MEK inhibitor with improved drug properties. We further confirmed that the antiproliferative activity correlates with cellular MEK inhibition and observed significant antitumor activity with daily oral dosing of 1 in a tumor xenograft model. These qualities led to the selection of 1 for clinical development.

Discovery of PF-04457845: A Highly Potent, Orally Bioavailable, and Selective Urea FAAH Inhibitor.

Project description:Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is an integral membrane serine hydrolase that degrades the fatty acid amide family of signaling lipids, including the endocannabinoid anandamide. Genetic or pharmacological inactivation of FAAH leads to analgesic and anti-inflammatory phenotypes in rodents without showing the undesirable side effects observed with direct cannabinoid receptor agonists, indicating that FAAH may represent an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory pain and other nervous system disorders. Herein, we report the discovery and characterization of a highly efficacious and selective FAAH inhibitor PF-04457845 (23). Compound 23 inhibits FAAH by a covalent, irreversible mechanism involving carbamylation of the active-site serine nucleophile of FAAH with high in vitro potency (k(inact)/K(i) and IC(50) values of 40300 M(-1) s(-1) and 7.2 nM, respectively, for human FAAH). Compound 23 has exquisite selectivity for FAAH relative to other members of the serine hydrolase superfamily as demonstrated by competitive activity-based protein profiling. Oral administration of 23 at 0.1 mg/kg results in efficacy comparable to that of naproxen at 10 mg/kg in a rat model of inflammatory pain. Compound 23 is being evaluated in human clinical trials.

Discovery of WS-157 as a highly potent, selective and orally active EGFR inhibitor.

Project description:EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) has been used successfully in clinic for the treatment of solid tumors. In the present study, we reported the discovery of WS-157 from our in-house diverse compound library, which was validated to be a potent and selective EGFR-TKI. WS-157 showed excellent inhibitory activities against EGFR (IC50 = 0.81 nmol/L), EGFR[d746-750] (IC50 = 1.2 nmol/L) and EGFR[L858R] (IC50 = 1.1 nmol/L), but was less effective or even inactive against other nine kinases. WS-157 also displayed excellent antiproliferative activities against a panel of human cancer cell lines, and exhibited the ability to reduce colony formation and wound healing the same as gefitinib. We found that WS-157 upon oral administration showed better anti-tumor activity in A431 bearing xenograft mouse models compared to gefitinib. In addition, WS-157 showed better intestinal absorption than gefitinib and had favorable pharmacokinetic properties and microsomal metabolic stability in different species. These studies indicate that WS-157 has strong antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo, and could be used for the development of anti-lung cancer agent targeting EGFR.

Targeted Fluoro Positioning for the Discovery of a Potent and Highly Selective Matrix Metalloproteinase Inhibitor.

Project description:The incorporation of fluorine atoms into functional molecules is of wide interest in synthetic organic chemistry as well as cognate disciplines. In particular, in medicinal chemistry, there is a strong desire to positively influence the physicochemical molecular properties of drug compounds by introducing fluorine into biologically active molecules. Here, we present targeted fluoro positioning as the key design principle of converting a weak matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) inhibitor into a very potent (IC50=6 nm) and highly selective (selectivity factors of >1000 over MMP-1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14) inhibitor with excellent plasma and microsomal stability, and no binding to the hERG channel (hERG: human ether-a-go-go related gene).

Discovery of MK-8189, a Highly Potent and Selective PDE10A Inhibitor for the Treatment of Schizophrenia.

Project description:PDE10A is an important regulator of striatal signaling that, when inhibited, can normalize dysfunctional activity. Given the involvement of dysfunctional striatal activity with schizophrenia, PDE10A inhibition represents a potentially novel means for its treatment. With the goal of developing PDE10A inhibitors, early optimization of a fragment hit through rational design led to a series of potent pyrimidine PDE10A inhibitors that required further improvements in physicochemical properties, off-target activities, and pharmacokinetics. Herein we describe the discovery of an isomeric pyrimidine series that addresses the liabilities seen with earlier compounds and resulted in the invention of compound 18 (MK-8189), which is currently in Phase 2b clinical development for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Discovery of a Pyrrolopyrimidine (JH-II-127), a Highly Potent, Selective, and Brain Penetrant LRRK2 Inhibitor.

Project description:Activating mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are present in a subset of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and may represent an attractive therapeutic target. Here we report a 2-anilino-4-methylamino-5-chloropyrrolopyrimidine, JH-II-127 (18), as a potent and selective inhibitor of both wild-type and G2019S mutant LRRK2. Compound 18 substantially inhibits Ser910 and Ser935 phosphorylation of both wild-type LRRK2 and G2019S mutant at a concentration of 0.1-0.3 μM in a variety of cell types and is capable of inhibiting Ser935 phosphorylation in mouse brain following oral delivery of doses as low as 30 mg/kg.

Discovery of TK-642 as a highly potent, selective, orally bioavailable pyrazolopyrazine-based allosteric SHP2 inhibitor.

Project description:Src homology-2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is a promising therapeutic target for cancer therapy. In this work, we presented the structure-guided design of 5,6-fused bicyclic allosteric SHP2 inhibitors, leading to the identification of pyrazolopyrazine-based TK-642 as a highly potent, selective, orally bioavailable allosteric SHP2 inhibitor (SHP2WT IC50 = 2.7 nmol/L) with favorable pharmacokinetic profiles (F = 42.5%; t 1/2 = 2.47 h). Both dual inhibition biochemical assay and docking analysis indicated that TK-642 likely bound to the "tunnel" allosteric site of SHP2. TK-642 could effectively suppress cell proliferation (KYSE-520 cells IC50 = 5.73 μmol/L) and induce apoptosis in esophageal cancer cells by targeting the SHP2-mediated AKT and ERK signaling pathways. Additionally, oral administration of TK-642 also demonstrated effective anti-tumor effects in the KYSE-520 xenograft mouse model, with a T/C value of 83.69%. Collectively, TK-642 may warrant further investigation as a promising lead compound for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Discovery of Potent Selective Nonzinc Binding Autotaxin Inhibitor BIO-32546.

Project description:Autotaxin (ATX) is a lysophospholipase D that is the main enzyme responsible for generating LPA in body fluids. Although ATX was isolated from a conditioned medium of melanoma cells, later it was discovered to play a critical role in vascular and neuronal development. ATX has also been implicated in primary brain tumor, fibrosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and neuropathic pain. As ATX and LPA levels are increased upon neuronal injury, a selective ATX inhibitor could provide a new approach to treat neuropathic pain. Herein we describe the discovery of a novel series of nonzinc binding reversible ATX inhibitors, particularly a potent, selective, orally bioavailable, brain-penetrable tool compound BIO-32546, as well as its synthesis, X-ray cocrystal structure, pharmacokinetics, and in vivo efficacy.
