Design of First-in-Class Dual EZH2/HDAC Inhibitor: Biochemical Activity and Biological Evaluation in Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Since the histone modifying enzymes EZH2 and HDACs control a number of epigenetic-dependent carcinogenic pathways, we designed the first-in-class dual EZH2/HDAC inhibitor 5 displaying (sub)micromolar inhibition against both targets. When tested in several cancer cell lines, the hybrid 5 impaired cell viability at low micromolar level and in leukemia U937 and rhabdomyosarcoma RH4 cells provided G1 arrest, apoptotic induction, and increased differentiation, associated with an increase of acetyl-H3 and acetyl-α-tubulin and a decrease of H3K27me3 levels. In glioblastoma U87 cells, 5 hampered epithelial to mesenchymal transition by increasing the E-cadherin expression, thus proposing itself as a useful candidate for anticancer therapy.

Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Osimertinib-Based HDAC and EGFR Dual Inhibitors.

Project description:Herein a novel series of histone deacetylases (HDACs) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dual inhibitors were designed and synthesized based on the structure of the approved EGFR inhibitor osimertinib (AZD9291). Among them, four compounds 5D, 5E, 9D and 9E exhibited more potent total HDAC inhibition than the approved HDAC inhibitor SAHA. However, these compounds only showed moderate to low inhibitory potency towards EGFR with compounds 5E and 9E possessing IC50 values against EGFRWT and EGFRT790M in the micromolar range. 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay revealed the potent antiproliferative activities of compounds 5D, 5E, 9D and 9E, among which 9E was even more potent against HeLa, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, HT-29 and KG-1 cell lines than SAHA and AZD9291. Further selectivity profile of 9E showed that this compound was not active against other 13 cancer-related kinases and two epigenetic targets lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4). These results support further structural modification of 9E to improve its EGFR inhibitory activity, which will lead to more potent and balanced HDAC and EGFR dual inhibitors as anticancer agents.

Design of a First-in-Class DNMT1/HDAC Inhibitor with Improved Therapeutic Potential and Potentiating Anti-tumor Immunity

Project description:Epigenetic therapies have emerged as an up-and-coming strategy avenue for treating cancer treatmentmalignancies. In this study, a series of DNMT1/HDAC dual inhibitors were obtained by merging pharmacophores. Among them, compound (R)-23a stood out due to balanced inhibition of DNMT1 and HDAC, along with excellent anti-tumor effects in vitro by stimulating both histone acetylation and DNA methylation. Notably, treatment with compound (R)-23a resulted in a significant anti-tumor effect (TGI = 98%) on MV-4-11 xenograft models, surpassing that achieved with combination therapy. Additionally, compound (R)-23a demonstrated the ability to dramatically reduce tumor volume or even induce tumor regression in MC38 murine colon cancer models. However, this effect was compromised under conditions of immune deficiency. In conclusion, the novel DNMT1/HDAC dual inhibitor (R)-23a holds promise for the development of multiple-target anti-AML agents and tumor immunotherapy.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of the First c-Met/HDAC Inhibitors Based on Pyridazinone Derivatives.

Project description:Simultaneous blockade of more than one pathway is considered to be a promising approach to overcome the low efficacy and acquired resistance of cancer therapies. Thus, a novel series of c-Met/HDAC bifunctional inhibitors was designed and synthesized by merging pharmacophores of c-Met and HDAC inhibitors. The most potent compound, 2m, inhibited c-Met kinase and HDAC1, with IC50 values of 0.71 and 38 nM, respectively, and showed efficient antiproliferative activities against both EBC-1 and HCT-116 cells with greater potency than the reference drug Chidamide. Western blot analysis revealed that compound 2m inhibited phosphorylation of c-Met and c-Met downstream signaling proteins and increased expression of Ac-H3 and p21 in EBC-1 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Our study presents novel compounds for the further exploration of dual c-Met/HDAC pathway inhibition achieved with a single molecule.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Quinazolin-4-one-Based Hydroxamic Acids as Dual PI3K/HDAC Inhibitors.

Project description:A series of quinazolin-4-one based hydroxamic acids was rationally designed and synthesized as novel dual PI3K/HDAC inhibitors by incorporating an HDAC pharmacophore into a PI3K inhibitor (Idelalisib) via an optimized linker. Several of these dual inhibitors were highly potent (IC50 < 10 nM) and selective against PI3Kγ, δ and HDAC6 enzymes and exhibited good antiproliferative activity against multiple cancer cell lines. The lead compound 48c, induced necrosis in several mutant and FLT3-resistant AML cell lines and primary blasts from AML patients, while showing no cytotoxicity against normal PBMCs, NIH3T3, and HEK293 cells. Target engagement of PI3Kδ and HDAC6 by 48c was demonstrated in MV411 cells using the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA). Compound 48c showed good pharmacokinetics properties in mice via intraperitoneal (ip) administration and provides a means to examine the biological effects of inhibiting these two important enzymes with a single molecule, either in vitro or in vivo.

Discovery of the First-in-Class GSK-3β/HDAC Dual Inhibitor as Disease-Modifying Agent To Combat Alzheimer's Disease.

Project description:Several evidence pointed out the role of epigenetics in Alzheimer's disease (AD) revealing strictly relationships between epigenetic and "classical" AD targets. Based on the reported connection among histone deacetylases (HDACs) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β), herein we present the discovery and the biochemical characterization of the first-in-class hit compound able to exert promising anti-AD effects by modulating the targeted proteins in the low micromolar range of concentration. Compound 11 induces an increase in histone acetylation and a reduction of tau phosphorylation. It is nontoxic and protective against H2O2 and 6-OHDA stimuli in SH-SY5Y and in CGN cell lines, respectively. Moreover, it promotes neurogenesis and displays immunomodulatory effects. Compound 11 shows no lethality in a wt-zebrafish model (<100 μM) and high water solubility.

EGFR and COX-2 Dual Inhibitor: The Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Chalcones.

Project description:For most researchers, discovering new anticancer drugs to avoid the adverse effects of current ones, to improve therapeutic benefits and to reduce resistance is essential. Because the COX-2 enzyme plays an important role in various types of cancer leading to malignancy enhancement, inhibition of apoptosis, and tumor-cell metastasis, an indispensable objective is to design new scaffolds or drugs that possess combined action or dual effect, such as kinase and COX-2 inhibition. The start compounds A1 to A6 were prepared through the diazo coupling of 3-aminoacetophenone with a corresponding phenol and then condensed with two new chalcone series, C7-18. The newly synthesized compounds were assessed against both COX-2 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for their inhibitory effect. All novel compounds were screened for cytotoxicity against five cancer cell lines. Compounds C9 and G10 exhibited potent EGFR inhibition with IC50 values of 0.8 and 1.1 µM, respectively. Additionally, they also displayed great COX-2 inhibition with IC50 values of 1.27 and 1.88 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the target compounds were assessed for their cytotoxicity against pancreatic ductal cancer (Panc-1), lung cancer (H-460), human colon cancer (HT-29), human malignant melanoma (A375) and pancreatic cancer (PaCa-2) cell lines. Interestingly, compounds C10 and G12 exhibited the strongest cytotoxic effect against PaCa-2 with average IC50 values of 0.9 and 0.8 µM, respectively. To understand the possible binding modes of the compounds under investigation with the receptor cites of EGFR and COX-2, a virtual docking study was conducted.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of HDAC Degraders with CRBN E3 Ligase Ligands.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play important roles in cell growth, cell differentiation, cell apoptosis, and many other cellular processes. The inhibition of different classes of HDACs has been shown to be closely related to the therapy of cancers and other diseases. In this study, a series of novel CRBN-recruiting HDAC PROTACs were designed and synthesized by linking hydroxamic acid and benzamide with lenalidomide, pomalidomide, and CC-220 through linkers of different lengths and types. One of these PROTACs, denoted 21a, with a new benzyl alcohol linker, exhibited comparably excellent HDAC inhibition activity on different HDAC classes, acceptable degradative activity, and even better in vitro anti-proliferative activities on the MM.1S cell line compared with SAHA. Moreover, we report for the first time the benzyl alcohol linker, which could also offer the potential to be used to develop more types of potent PROTACs for targeting more proteins of interest (POI).

Biochemical, biological and structural properties of romidepsin (FK228) and its analogs as novel HDAC/PI3K dual inhibitors.

Project description:Romidepsin (FK228, depsipeptide) is a potent histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that has FDA approval for the treatment of cutaneous and peripheral T-cell lymphomas. We have previously reported that FK228 and its analogs have an additional activity as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors, and are defined as HDAC/PI3K dual inhibitors. Because a combination of an HDAC inhibitor and a PI3K inhibitor induces apoptosis in human cancer cells in a synergistic manner, development of an HDAC/PI3K dual inhibitor will provide an attractive novel drug for cancer therapy. Using structure-based optimization of the analogs, FK-A11 was identified as the most potent analog. FK-A11 inhibited phosphorylation of AKT and accelerated histone acetylation at lower concentrations, resulting in stronger cytotoxic effects than FK228 and the other analogs in human cancer cells. In this study, we have characterized the biochemical, biological and structural properties of FK228 analogs as PI3K inhibitors. First, FK-A11 is an ATP competitive PI3K inhibitor. Second, FK-A11 is a pan-p110 isoform inhibitor. Third, FK-A11 selectively inhibits PI3K among 22 common cellular kinases. Fourth, conformational changes of FK228 analogs by reduction of an internal disulfide bond have no effect on PI3K inhibitory activity, unlike HDAC inhibitory activity. Finally, molecular modeling of PI3K-FK228 analogs and analyses of the binding affinities identified the structure that defines potency for PI3K inhibitory activity. These results prove our concept that a series of FK228 analogs are HDAC/PI3K dual inhibitors. These findings should help in the development of FK228 analogs as novel HDAC/PI3K dual inhibitors.

Discovery of the First-in-Class Dual Histone Deacetylase-Proteasome Inhibitor.

Project description:Dual- or multitarget drugs have emerged as a promising alternative to combination therapies. Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) possess synergistic activity with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors due to the simultaneous blockage of the ubiquitin degradation and aggresome pathways. Here, we present the design, synthesis, binding modes, and anticancer properties of RTS-V5 as the first-in-class dual HDAC-proteasome ligand. The inhibition of both targets was confirmed by biochemical and cellular assays as well as X-ray crystal structures of the 20S proteasome and HDAC6 complexed with RTS-V5. Cytotoxicity assays with leukemia and multiple myeloma cell lines as well as therapy refractory primary patient-derived leukemia cells demonstrated that RTS-V5 possesses potent and selective anticancer activity. Our results will thus guide the structure-based optimization of dual HDAC-proteasome inhibitors for the treatment of hematological malignancies.

In silico design and biological evaluation of a dual specificity kinase inhibitor targeting cell cycle progression and angiogenesis.

Project description:BackgroundProtein kinases play a central role in tumor progression, regulating fundamental processes such as angiogenesis, proliferation and metastasis. Such enzymes are an increasingly important class of drug target with small molecule kinase inhibitors being a major focus in drug development. However, balancing drug specificity and efficacy is problematic with off-target effects and toxicity issues.MethodologyWe have utilized a rational in silico-based approach to demonstrate the design and study of a novel compound that acts as a dual inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) and cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1). This compound acts by simultaneously inhibiting pro-angiogenic signal transduction and cell cycle progression in primary endothelial cells. JK-31 displays potent in vitro activity against recombinant VEGFR2 and CDK1/cyclin B proteins comparable to previously characterized inhibitors. Dual inhibition of the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A)-mediated signaling response and CDK1-mediated mitotic entry elicits anti-angiogenic activity both in an endothelial-fibroblast co-culture model and a murine ex vivo model of angiogenesis.ConclusionsWe deduce that JK-31 reduces the growth of both human endothelial cells and human breast cancer cells in vitro. This novel synthetic molecule has broad implications for development of similar multi-kinase inhibitors with anti-angiogenic and anti-cancer properties. In silico design is an attractive and innovative method to aid such drug discovery.
