Discovery and SAR of Novel Disubstituted Quinazolines as Dual PI3Kalpha/mTOR Inhibitors Targeting Breast Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The dual PI3Kα/ m TOR inhibitors represent a promising molecularly targeted therapy for cancer. Here, we documented the discovery of new 2,4-disubstituted quinazoline analogs as potent dual PI3Kα/sm TOR inhibitors. Our structure based chemistry endeavor yielded six excellent compounds 9e, 9f, 9g, 9k, 9m, and 9o with single/double digit nanomolar IC₅₀ values against both enzymes and acceptable aqueous solubility and stability to oxidative metabolism. One of those analogs, 9m, possessed a sulfonamide substituent, which has not been described for this chemical scaffold before. The short direct synthetic routes, structure-activity relationship, in vitro 2D cell culture viability assays against normal fibroblasts and 3 breast cancer cell lines, and in vitro 3D culture viability assay against MCF7 cells for this series are described.

Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives: dual activity as cholinesterase and Aβ-aggregation inhibitors.

Project description:A novel class of 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines (7a-u, 8a-f, 9a-e) that possess substituents with varying steric and electronic properties at the C-2 and C-4 positions, were designed, synthesized and evaluated as dual cholinesterase and amyloid-β (Aβ)-aggregation inhibitors. In vitro screening identified N-(naphth-1-ylmethyl)-2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine (9a) as the most potent AChE inhibitor (IC(50)=5.5 μM). Among this class of compounds, 2-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)-N-(naphth-1-ylmethyl)pyrimidin-4-amine (9e) was identified as the most potent and selective BuChE inhibitor (IC(50)=2.2 μM, selectivity index=11.7) and was about 5.7-fold more potent compared to the commercial, approved reference drug galanthamine (BuChE IC(50)=12.6 μM). In addition, the selective AChE inhibitor N-benzyl-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)pyrimidin-4-amine (7d), exhibited good inhibition of hAChE-induced aggregation of Aβ(1-40) fibrils (59% inhibition). Furthermore, molecular modeling studies indicate that a central pyrimidine ring serves as a suitable template to develop dual inhibitors of cholinesterase and AChE-induced Aβ aggregation thereby targeting multiple pathological routes in AD.

Discovery and SAR study of piperidine-based derivatives as novel influenza virus inhibitors.

Project description:A series of piperidine-based derivatives were identified as novel and potent inhibitors of the influenza virus through structural modification of a compound that was selected from a high-throughput screen. Various analogues were synthesized and confirmed as inhibitors. The structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies suggested that the ether linkage between the quinoline and piperidine is critical for the inhibitory activity. The optimized compound tert-butyl 4-(quinolin-4-yloxy)piperidine-1-carboxylate 11e had an excellent inhibitory activity against influenza virus infection from a variety of influenza virus strains, with EC50 values as low as 0.05 ?M. The selectivity index value (SI = MLD50/EC50) of 11e is over 160000 based on cytotoxicity, measured by MTT assays of three cell lines. We carried out a time-of-addition experiment to delineate the mechanism of inhibition. The result indicates that 11e interferes with the early to middle stage of influenza virus replication.

Discovery of Anilinopyrimidines as Dual Inhibitors of c-Met and VEGFR-2: Synthesis, SAR, and Cellular Activity.

Project description:Both c-Met and VEGFR-2 are important targets for cancer therapies. Here we report a series of potent dual c-Met and VEGFR-2 inhibitors bearing an anilinopyrimidine scaffold. Two novel synthetic protocols were employed for rapid analoguing of the designed molecules for structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration. Some analogues displayed nanomolar potency against c-Met and VEGFR-2 at enzymatic level. Privileged compounds 3a, 3b, 3g, 3h, and 18a exhibited potent antiproliferative effect against c-Met addictive cell lines with IC50 values ranged from 0.33 to 1.7 μM. In addition, a cocrystal structure of c-Met in complex with 3h has been determined, which reveals the binding mode of c-Met to its inhibitor and helps to interpret the SAR of the analogues.

Discovery of a Novel Class of Covalent Dual Inhibitors Targeting the Protein Kinases BMX and BTK.

Project description:The nonreceptor tyrosine TEC kinases are key regulators of the immune system and play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of diverse hematological malignancies. In contrast to the substantial efforts in inhibitor development for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), specific inhibitors of the other TEC kinases, including the bone marrow tyrosine kinase on chromosome X (BMX), remain sparse. Here we present a novel class of dual BMX/BTK inhibitors, which were designed from irreversible inhibitors of Janus kinase (JAK) 3 targeting a cysteine located within the solvent-exposed front region of the ATP binding pocket. Structure-guided design exploiting the differences in the gatekeeper residues enabled the achievement of high selectivity over JAK3 and certain other kinases harboring a sterically demanding residue at this position. The most active compounds inhibited BMX and BTK with apparent IC50 values in the single digit nanomolar range or below showing moderate selectivity within the TEC family and potent cellular target engagement. These compounds represent an important first step towards selective chemical probes for the protein kinase BMX.

Discovery of novel 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole phenylalanine derivatives as HIV-1 capsid inhibitors.

Project description:The HIV-1 capsid (CA) protein plays crucial roles in both early and late stages of the viral life cycle, which has intrigued researchers to target it to develop anti-HIV drugs. Accordingly, in this research, we report the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel phenylalanine derivatives as HIV-1 CA protein inhibitors using the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide and alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. Among this series of inhibitors, compound II-10c displayed a remarkable anti-HIV activity (EC50 = 2.13 μM, CC50 > 35.49 μM). Furthermore, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) binding assays showed that compounds II-10c and PF-74 (lead compound) have similar affinities to HIV-1 CA monomer. Further investigation showed that the weak permeability and water solubility of representative compounds were probably the important factors that restricted their cell-based activity. Preliminary structure-activity relationships (SARs) were inferred based on the activities of these compounds, and their known structure. The most promising new compound was studied with molecular dynamics simulation (MD) to determine the preferred interactions with the drug target. Finally, the activities of members of this series of inhibitors were deeply inspected to find the potential reasons for their anti-HIV-1 activity from various perspectives. This highlights the important factors required to design compounds with improved potency.

Design, Synthesis and SAR in 2,4,7-Trisubstituted Pyrido[3,2-d]Pyrimidine Series as Novel PI3K/mTOR Inhibitors.

Project description:This work describes the synthesis, enzymatic activities on PI3K and mTOR, in silico docking and cellular activities of various uncommon 2,4,7 trisubstituted pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines. The series synthesized offers a chemical diversity in C-7 whereas C-2 (3-hydroxyphenyl) and C-4 groups (morpholine) remain unchanged, in order to provide a better understanding of the molecular determinants of PI3K selectivity or dual activity on PI3K and mTOR. Some C-7 substituents were shown to improve the efficiency on kinases compared to the 2,4-di-substituted pyrimidopyrimidine derivatives used as references. Six novel derivatives possess IC50 values on PI3Kα between 3 and 10 nM. The compounds with the best efficiencies on PI3K and mTOR induced micromolar cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines possessing an overactivated PI3K pathway.

Discovery of Novel 3,3-Disubstituted Piperidines as Orally Bioavailable, Potent, and Efficacious HDM2-p53 Inhibitors.

Project description:A new subseries of substituted piperidines as p53-HDM2 inhibitors exemplified by 21 has been developed from the initial lead 1. Research focused on optimization of a crucial HDM2 Trp23-ligand interaction led to the identification of 2-(trifluoromethyl)thiophene as the preferred moiety. Further investigation of the Leu26 pocket resulted in potent, novel substituted piperidine inhibitors of the HDM2-p53 interaction that demonstrated tumor regression in several human cancer xenograft models in mice. The structure of HDM2 in complex with inhibitors 3, 10, and 21 is described.

Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) Study of Spautin-1 to Entail the Discovery of Novel NEK4 Inhibitors.

Project description:Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers accounting for the highest number of cancer-related deaths in the world. Despite significant progress including targeted therapies and immunotherapy, the treatment of advanced lung cancer remains challenging. Targeted therapies are highly efficacious at prolonging life, but not curative. In prior work we have identified Ubiquitin Specific Protease 13 (USP13) as a potential target to significantly enhance the efficacy of mutant EGFR inhibition. The current study aimed to develop lead molecules for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by developing potent USP13 inhibitors initially starting from Spautin-1, the only available USP13 inhibitor. A SAR study was performed which revealed that increasing the chain length between the secondary amine and phenyl group and introducing a halogen capable of inducing a halogen bond at position 4' of the phenyl group, dramatically increased the activity. However, we could not confirm the binding between Spautin-1 (or its analogues) and USP13 using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) or thermal shift assay (TSA) but do not exclude binding under physiological conditions. Nevertheless, we found that the anti-proliferative activity displayed by Spautin-1 towards EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells in vitro was at least partially associated with kinase inhibition. In this work, we present N-[2-(substituted-phenyl)ethyl]-6-fluoro-4-quinazolinamines as promising lead compounds for the treatment of NSCLC. These analogues are significantly more effective towards EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells than Spautin-1 and act as potent never in mitosis A related kinase 4 (NEK4) inhibitors (IC50~1 µM) with moderate selectivity over other kinases.
