Conformational-Design-Driven Discovery of EZM0414: A Selective, Potent SETD2 Inhibitor for Clinical Studies.

ABSTRACT: SETD2, a lysine N-methyltransferase, is a histone methyltransferase that plays an important role in various cellular processes and was identified as a target of interest in multiple myeloma that features a t(4,14) translocation. We recently reported the discovery of a novel small-molecule SETD2 inhibitor tool compound that is suitable for preclinical studies. Herein we describe the conformational-design-driven evolution of the advanced chemistry lead, which resulted in compounds appropriate for clinical evaluation. Further optimization of this chemical series led to the discovery of EZM0414, which is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of SETD2 with good pharmacokinetic properties and robust pharmacodynamic activity in a mouse xenograft model.

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

Project description: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.

The discovery of setileuton, a potent and selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor.

Project description:The discovery of novel and selective inhibitors of human 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) is described. These compounds are potent, orally bioavailable, and active at inhibiting leukotriene biosynthesis in vivo in a dog PK/PD model. A major focus of the optimization process was to reduce affinity for the human ether-a-go-go gene potassium channel while preserving inhibitory potency on 5-LO. These efforts led to the identification of inhibitor (S)-16 (MK-0633, setileuton), a compound selected for clinical development for the treatment of respiratory diseases.

Discovery of a potent and selective DDR1 receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Project description:The DDR1 receptor tyrosine kinase is activated by matrix collagens and has been implicated in numerous cellular functions such as proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, migration, and invasion. Here we report the discovery of a potent and selective DDR1 inhibitor, DDR1-IN-1, and present the 2.2 Å DDR1 co-crystal structure. DDR1-IN-1 binds to DDR1 in the 'DFG-out' conformation and inhibits DDR1 autophosphorylation in cells at submicromolar concentrations with good selectivity as assessed against a panel of 451 kinases measured using the KinomeScan technology. We identified a mutation in the hinge region of DDR1, G707A, that confers >20-fold resistance to the ability of DDR1-IN-1 to inhibit DDR1 autophosphorylation and can be used to establish what pharmacology is DDR1-dependent. A combinatorial screen of DDR1-IN-1 with a library of annotated kinase inhibitors revealed that inhibitors of PI3K and mTOR such as GSK2126458 potentiate the antiproliferative activity of DDR1-IN-1 in colorectal cancer cell lines. DDR1-IN-1 provides a useful pharmacological probe for DDR1-dependent signal transduction.

Discovery of AZD3839, a potent and selective BACE1 inhibitor clinical candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer disease.

Project description:?-Site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme1 (BACE1) is one of the key enzymes involved in the processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and formation of amyloid ? peptide (A?) species. Because cerebral deposition of A? species might be critical for the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease, BACE1 has emerged as a key target for the treatment of this disease. Here, we report the discovery and comprehensive preclinical characterization of AZD3839, a potent and selective inhibitor of human BACE1. AZD3839 was identified using fragment-based screening and structure-based design. In a concentration-dependent manner, AZD3839 inhibited BACE1 activity in a biochemical fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay, A? and sAPP? release from modified and wild-type human SH-SY5Y cells and mouse N2A cells as well as from mouse and guinea pig primary cortical neurons. Selectivity against BACE2 and cathepsin D was 14 and >1000-fold, respectively. AZD3839 exhibited dose- and time-dependent lowering of plasma, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid A? levels in mouse, guinea pig, and non-human primate. Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic analyses of mouse and guinea pig data showed a good correlation between the potency of AZD3839 in primary cortical neurons and in vivo brain effects. These results suggest that AZD3839 effectively reduces the levels of A? in brain, CSF, and plasma in several preclinical species. It might, therefore, have disease-modifying potential in the treatment of Alzheimer disease and related dementias. Based on the overall pharmacological profile and its drug like properties, AZD3839 has been progressed into Phase 1 clinical trials in man.

QSAR-driven design, synthesis and discovery of potent chalcone derivatives with antitubercular activity.

Project description:New anti-tuberculosis (anti-TB) drugs are urgently needed to battle drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains and to shorten the current 6-12-month treatment regimen. In this work, we have continued the efforts to develop chalcone-based anti-TB compounds by using an in silico design and QSAR-driven approach. Initially, we developed SAR rules and binary QSAR models using literature data for targeted design of new heteroaryl chalcone compounds with anti-TB activity. Using these models, we prioritized 33 compounds for synthesis and biological evaluation. As a result, 10 heteroaryl chalcone compounds (4, 8, 9, 11, 13, 17-20, and 23) were found to exhibit nanomolar activity against replicating mycobacteria, low micromolar activity against nonreplicating bacteria, and nanomolar and micromolar against rifampin (RMP) and isoniazid (INH) monoresistant strains (rRMP and rINH) (<1 ?M and <10 ?M, respectively). The series also show low activity against commensal bacteria and generally show good selectivity toward M. tuberculosis, with very low cytotoxicity against Vero cells (SI = 11-545). Our results suggest that our designed heteroaryl chalcone compounds, due to their high potency and selectivity, are promising anti-TB agents.

Discovery of a Potent and Selective BCL-XL Inhibitor with in Vivo Activity.

Project description:A-1155463, a highly potent and selective BCL-XL inhibitor, was discovered through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) fragment screening and structure-based design. This compound is substantially more potent against BCL-XL-dependent cell lines relative to our recently reported inhibitor, WEHI-539, while possessing none of its inherent pharmaceutical liabilities. A-1155463 caused a mechanism-based and reversible thrombocytopenia in mice and inhibited H146 small cell lung cancer xenograft tumor growth in vivo following multiple doses. A-1155463 thus represents an excellent tool molecule for studying BCL-XL biology as well as a productive lead structure for further optimization.

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.
