Discovery and Characterization of a Novel Series of Chloropyrimidines as Covalent Inhibitors of the Kinase MSK1.

ABSTRACT: We describe the identification and characterization of a series of covalent inhibitors of the C-terminal kinase domain (CTKD) of MSK1. The initial hit was identified via a high-throughput screening and represents a rare example of a covalent inhibitor which acts via an S_NAr reaction of a 2,5-dichloropyrimidine with a cysteine residue (Cys440). The covalent mechanism of action was supported by in vitro biochemical experiments and was confirmed by mass spectrometry. Ultimately, the displacement of the 2-chloro moiety was confirmed by crystallization of an inhibitor with the CTKD. We also disclose the crystal structures of three compounds from this series bound to the CTKD of MSK1, in addition to the crystal structures of two unrelated RSK2 covalent inhibitors bound to the CTKD of MSK1.

Discovery and characterization of novel mutant FLT3 kinase inhibitors.

Project description:For a subpopulation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, the constitutively activated tyrosine kinase, mutant FLT3, has emerged as a promising target for therapy. The development of drug resistance, however, is a growing concern for mutant FLT3 inhibitors, such as PKC412. Potential therapeutic benefit can arise from the combination of two structurally diverse inhibitors that target-but bind differently to-the same protein or from two inhibitors with completely different mechanisms of action. Thus, there is a need for identification and development of novel FLT3 inhibitors that have the ability to positively combine with PKC412 or standard chemotherapeutic agents used to treat AML as a way to suppress the development of drug resistance and consequently prolong disease remission. Here, we report the effects of the novel type II ATP-competitive inhibitors, HG-7-85-01 and HG-7-86-01, which potently and selectively target mutant FLT3 protein kinase activity and inhibit the proliferation of cells harboring FLT3-ITD or FLT3 kinase domain point mutants via induction of apoptosis and cell cycle inhibition. Antileukemic activity of HG-7-85-01 was shown in vivo to be comparable with that observed with PKC412 in a bioluminescence assay using NCr nude mice harboring Ba/F3-FLT3-ITD-luc+ cells. HG-7-85-01 was also observed to override PKC412 resistance. Finally, HG-7-85-01 and HG-7-86-01 synergized with PKC412 and standard chemotherapeutic agents against mutant PKC412-sensitive and some PKC412-resistant, FLT3-positive cells. Thus, we present a structurally novel class of FLT3 inhibitors that warrants consideration for clinical testing against drug-resistant disease in AML patients.

Discovery of a Novel Series of CHK1 Kinase Inhibitors with a Distinctive Hinge Binding Mode.

Project description:A novel series of CHK1 inhibitors with a distinctive hinge binding mode, exemplified by 2-aryl-N-(2-(piperazin-1-yl)phenyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide, was discovered through high-throughput screening using the affinity selection-mass spectrometry (AS-MS)-based Automated Ligand Identification System (ALIS) platform. Structure-based ligand design and optimization led to significant improvements in potency to the single digit nanomolar range and hundred-fold selectivity against CDK2.

Fragment-hopping-based discovery of a novel chemical series of proto-oncogene PIM-1 kinase inhibitors.

Project description:A new chemical series, triazolo[4,5-b]pyridines, has been identified as an inhibitor of PIM-1 by a chemotype hopping strategy based on a chemically feasible fragment database. In this case, structure-based virtual screening and in silico chemogenomics provide added value to the previously reported strategy of prioritizing among proposed novel scaffolds. Pairwise comparison between compound 3, recently discontinued from Phase I clinical trials, and molecule 8, bearing the selected novel scaffold, shows that the primary activities are similar (IC(50) in the 20 to 150 nM range). At the same time, some ADME properties (for example, an increase of more than 45% in metabolic stability in human liver microsomes) and the off-target selectivity (for example, an increase of more than 2 log units in IC(50)vs. FLT3) are improved, and the intellectual property (IP) position is enhanced. The discovery of a reliable starting point that fulfills critical criteria for a plausible medicinal chemistry project is demonstrated in this prospective study.

Genomic Discovery and Structure-Activity Exploration of a Novel Family of Enzyme-Activated Covalent Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:Fungi have historically been the source of numerous important medicinal compounds, but full exploitation of their genetic potential for drug development has been hampered in traditional discovery paradigms. Here we describe a radically different approach, top-down drug discovery (TD3), starting with a massive digital search through a database of over 100,000 fully genomicized fungi to identify loci encoding molecules with a predetermined human target. We exemplify TD3 by the selection of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) as targets and the discovery of two molecules, 1 and 2, which inhibit therapeutically important human CDKs. 1 and 2 exhibit a remarkable mechanism, forming a site-selective covalent bond to the CDK active site Lys. We explored the structure-activity relationship via semi- and total synthesis, generating an analog, 43, with improved kinase selectivity, bioavailability, and efficacy. This work highlights the power of TD3 to identify mechanistically and structurally novel molecules for the development of new medicines.

Discovery of a New Series of Naphthamides as Potent VEGFR-2 Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:Inhibition of VEGFR-2 signaling pathway has already become one of the most promising approaches for the treatment of cancer. In this study, we describe the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a new series of naphthamides as potent inhibitors of VEGFR-2. Among these compounds, 14c exhibited high VEGFR-2 inhibitory potency in both enzymatic and HUVEC cellular proliferation assays, with IC50 values of 1.5 and 0.9 nM, respectively. Kinase selectivity profiling revealed that 14c was a multitargeted inhibitor, and it also exhibited good potency against VEGFR-1, PDGFR-?, and RET. Furthermore, 14c effectively blocked tube formation of HUVEC at nanomolar level. Overall, 14c might be a promising candidate for the treatment of cancer.

Discovery of covalent enzyme inhibitors using virtual docking of covalent fragments.

Project description:Here we present a virtual docking screen of 1648 commercially available covalent fragments, and identified covalent inhibitors of cysteine protease cathepsin L. These inhibitors did not inhibit closely related protease cathepsin B. Thus, we have established virtual docking of covalent fragments as an approach to discover covalent enzyme inhibitors.

Discovery of a series of novel phenylpiperazine derivatives as EGFR TK inhibitors.

Project description:Human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important drug target that plays a fundamental role in signal transduction pathways in oncology. We report herein the discovery of a novel class of phenylpiperazine derivatives with improved potency toward EGFR. The biological activity of compound 3p as inhibitor of EGFR was further investigated both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, compound 3p exhibited an IC50 in the nanomolar range in A549 cell cultures and induced a cessation of tumor growth with no toxicity, as determined by loss of body weight and death of treated mice. Compoutational docking studies also showed that compound 3p has interaction with EGFR key residues in the active site.

Covalent inhibitors: a rational approach to drug discovery.

Project description:Covalent inhibitors are recognized as an important component in drug discovery and therapeutics. Since the first appearance of covalent inhibitors in the late 18th century, the field has advanced significantly and currently about 30% of the marketed drugs are covalent inhibitors. The numerous advantages of covalent inhibitors are counteracting the initial concerns regarding potential off-target toxicity. Thus, continuous research, especially for cancer targets is reported. The aim of this review is to provide a short historic overview and focus on recently developed covalent inhibitors (2011-2019), including structural aspects and examples on challenging targets.

Structure-Based Discovery of a Series of 5H-Pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine FGFR Kinase Inhibitors.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), a subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases, are aberrant in various cancer types, and considered to be promising targets for cancer therapy. We started with a weak-active compound that was identified from our internal hepatocyte growth factor receptor (also called c-Met) inhibitor project, and optimized it with the guidance of a co-crystal structure of compound 8 with FGFR1. Through rational design, synthesis, and the biological evaluation of a series of 5H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrazine derivatives, we discovered several potent FGFR kinase inhibitors. Among them, compound 13 displayed high selectivity and favorable metabolic properties, demonstrating a promising lead for further development.
