Because dysregulation of protein kinases owing to mutations or overexpression plays causal roles in human diseases, this family of enzymes has become one of the most important drug targets of the 21st century. Of the 62 protein kinases inhibitors that are approved by the FDA, seven of them form irreversible covalent adducts with their target enzymes. The clinical success of ibrutinib, an inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase, in the treatment of mantle cell lymphomas following its approval in 2013 helped to overcome a general bias against the development of irreversible drug inhibitors. The other approved covalent drugs include acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib, which also inhibit Bruton tyrosine kinase. Furthermore afatinib, dacomitinib, and osimertinib, inhibitors of members of the epidermal growth factor receptor family (ErbB1/2/3/4), are used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancers. Neratinib is an inhibitor of ErbB2 and is used in the treatment of ErbB2/HER2-positive breast cancer. The seven drugs considered in this review have a common mechanism of action; this process involves the addition of a protein cysteine thiolate anion (protein‒S:-) to an acrylamide derivative (CH2=CHC(=O)N(H)R) where R represents the pharmacophore. Such reactions are commonly referred to as Michael additions and each reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond between carbon and sulfur; the final product is a thioether. This process consists of two discrete steps; the first step involves the reversible association of the drug with its target enzyme so that a weakly electrophilic functionality, a warhead, is bound near an appropriately positioned nucleophilic cysteine. In the second step, a reaction occurs between the warhead and the target enzyme cysteine to form a covalently modified and inactive protein. For this process to work, the warhead must be appropriately juxtaposed in relationship to the cysteinyl thiolate so that the covalent addition can occur. Covalent inhibitors have emerged from the ranks of drugs to be avoided to become an emerging paradigm. Much of this recent success can be attributed to the clinical efficacy of ibrutinib as well as the other antagonists covered in this review. Moreover, the covalent inhibitor methodology is swiftly gaining acceptance as a valuable component of the medicinal chemist's toolbox and is primed to make a significant impact on the development of enzyme antagonists and receptor modulators.
