1-Oxo-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-4-carboxamides as novel druglike inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) with favourable ADME characteristics.

ABSTRACT: A novel 3,4-dihydroisoquinol-1-one-4-carboxamide scaffold was designed as the basis for the development of novel inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Synthesis of 3,4-dihydroisoquinol-1-one-4-carboxylic acids was achieved using the previously developed protocol based on the modified Castagnoli-Cushman reaction of homophthalic anhydrides and 1,3,5-triazinanes as formaldimine synthetic equivalents. Employment of 2,4-dimethoxy groups on the nitrogen atom of the latter allowed preparation of 2,3-unsubatituted 3,4-dihydroquinolone core building blocks. Iterative synthesis and in vitro biological testing of the amides resulting from the amidation of these carboxylic acids allowed not only drawing important structure-activity generalisations (corroborated by in silico docking simulation) but also the identification of the lead compound, 4-([1,4'-bipiperidine]-1'-carbonyl)-7-fluoro-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1(2H)-one, as the candidate for further preclinical development. The lead compound as well as its des-fluoro analog were compared to the approved PARP1 inhibitor, anticancer drug Olaparib, in terms of their molecular characteristics defining druglikeness as well as experimentally determined ADME parameters. The newly developed series demonstrated clear advantages over Olaparib in terms of molecular weight, hydrophilicity, human liver microsomal and plasma stability as well as plasma protein binding. Further preclinical investigation of the lead compound is highly warranted.

Project description:BackgroundOvarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer and seventh most common cause of cancer death in women world-wide. Three-quarters of women present when the disease has spread throughout the abdomen (stage III or IV) and treatment consists of a combination of debulking surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Although initial responses to chemotherapy are good, most women will relapse and require further chemotherapy and will eventually develop resistance to chemotherapy.PARP (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase) inhibitors, are a novel type of medication that works by preventing cancer cells from repairing their DNA once they have been damaged by other chemotherapy agents. It is not clear how PARP inhibitors compare to conventional chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with respect to survival, side effects and quality of life.ObjectivesTo determine the benefits and risks of PARP inhibitors for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Search methodsWe identified randomised controlled trials (RCTs) by searching the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL 2014, Issue 4), the Cochrane Gynaecological Cancer Group Trial Register, MEDLINE (1990 to May 2014), EMBASE (1990 to May 2014), ongoing trials on www.controlled-trials.com/rct, www.clinicaltrials.gov, www.cancer.gov/clinicaltrials and the National Research Register (NRR), the FDA database and pharmaceutical industry biomedical literature.Selection criteriaWomen with histologically proven EOC who were randomised to treatment groups in trials that either compared PARP inhibitors with no treatment, or PARP inhibitors versus conventional chemotherapy, or PARP inhibitors together with conventional chemotherapy versus conventional chemotherapy alone.Data collection and analysisWe used standard Cochrane methodology. Two review authors independently assessed whether studies met the inclusion criteria. We contacted investigators for additional data, where possible. Outcomes included survival, quality of life and toxicity.Main resultsWe included four RCTs involving 599 women with EOC. Data for veliparib were limited and of low quality, due to small numbers (75 women total). Olaparib, on average, improved progression-free survival (PFS) when added to conventional treatment and when used as maintenance treatment in women with platinum-sensitive disease compared with placebo (hazard ratio (HR) 0.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.29 to 0.60; 426 participants ; two studies), but did not improve overall survival (OS) (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.39; 426 participants; two studies). We graded this evidence as moderate quality using the GRADE approach. Olaparib was associated with more severe adverse events (G3/4) during the maintenance phase compared with controls (risk ratio (RR) 1.74, 95% CI 1.22 to 2.49; 385 participants, two studies; moderate quality evidence). Quality of life data were insufficient for meta-analysis. We identified four ongoing studies.Authors' conclusionsPARP inhibitors appear to improve PFS in women with recurrent platinum-sensitive disease. Ongoing studies are likely to provide more information about whether the improvement in PFS leads to any change in OS in this subgroup of women with EOC. More research is needed to determine whether PARP inhibitors have any role to play in platinum-resistant disease.
