RESUMEN

Aurora kinases (AurkA/B/C) regulate the assembly of bipolar mitotic spindles and the fidelity of chromosome segregation during mitosis, and are attractive therapeutic targets for cancers. Numerous ATP-competitive AurkA inhibitors have been developed as potential anti-cancer agents. Recently, a few allosteric inhibitors have been reported that bind to the allosteric Y-pocket within AurkA kinase domain and disrupt the interaction between AurkA and its activator TPX2. Herein we report a novel allosteric AurkA inhibitor (6h) of N-benzylbenzamide backbone. Compound 6h suppressed the both catalytic activity and non-catalytic functions of AurkA. The inhibitory activity of 6h against AurkA (IC50 = 6.50 µM) was comparable to that of the most potent allosteric AurkA inhibitor AurkinA. Docking analysis against the Y-pocket revealed important pharmacophores and interactions that were coherent with structure-activity relationship. In addition, 6h suppressed DNA replication in G1-S phase, which is a feature of allosteric inhibition of AurA. Our current study may provide a useful insight in designing potent allosteric AurkA inhibitors.

RESUMEN

BCR-ABL inhibition is an effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Herein, we report the discovery of AKE-72 (5), a diarylamide 3-aminoindazole, as a potent pan-BCR-ABL inhibitor, including the imatinib-resistant mutant T315I. A focussed array of compounds 4a, 4b, and 5 has been designed based on our previously reported indazole I to improve its BCR-ABLT315I inhibitory activity. Replacing the morpholine moiety of I with the privileged tail (4-ethylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl afforded 5 (AKE-72) with IC50 values of < 0.5 nM, and 9 nM against BCR-ABLWT and BCR-ABLT315I, respectively. Moreover, AKE-72 potently inhibited a panel of other clinically important mutants in single-digit nanomolar IC50 values. AKE-72 elicited remarkable anti-leukemic activity against K-562 cell line (GI50 < 10 nM, TGI = 154 nM). In addition, AKE-72 strongly inhibited the proliferation of Ba/F3 cells expressing native BCR-ABL or its T315I mutant. Overall, AKE-72 may serve as a promising candidate for the treatment of CML, including those harbouring T315I mutation.

RESUMEN

A novel series of aminopyrimidinylisoindoline derivatives 1a-w having an aminopyrimidine scaffold as a hinge region binding motif were designed and synthesized. Among them, six compounds showed potent inhibitory activities against AXL kinase with IC50 values of submicromolar range. Especially, compound 1u possessing (4-acetylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl moiety exhibited extremely excellent efficacy (IC50 = <0.00050 µM). Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were tested over five cancer cell lines. Most compounds showed good antiproliferative activities against HeLa cell line. The kinase panel profiling of 50 different kinases and the selected inhibitory activities for the representative compound 1u were carried out. The compound 1u exhibited excellent inhibitory activities (IC50 = <0.00050, 0.025, and 0.050 µM for AXL, MER, and TYRO3, respectively) against TAM family, together with potent antiproliferative activity against MV4-11 cell line (GI50 = 0.10 µM) related to acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

RESUMEN

Clinical responses to anticancer therapies are often restricted to a subset of patients. In some cases, mutated cancer genes are potent biomarkers for responses to targeted agents. Here, to uncover new biomarkers of sensitivity and resistance to cancer therapeutics, we screened a panel of several hundred cancer cell lines--which represent much of the tissue-type and genetic diversity of human cancers--with 130 drugs under clinical and preclinical investigation. In aggregate, we found that mutated cancer genes were associated with cellular response to most currently available cancer drugs. Classic oncogene addiction paradigms were modified by additional tissue-specific or expression biomarkers, and some frequently mutated genes were associated with sensitivity to a broad range of therapeutic agents. Unexpected relationships were revealed, including the marked sensitivity of Ewing's sarcoma cells harbouring the EWS (also known as EWSR1)-FLI1 gene translocation to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. By linking drug activity to the functional complexity of cancer genomes, systematic pharmacogenomic profiling in cancer cell lines provides a powerful biomarker discovery platform to guide rational cancer therapeutic strategies.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Transient receptor potential melastatin 7 (TRPM7) regulates breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion and metastasis in its ion channel- and kinase domain-dependent manner. The pharmacological effects of TRPM7 ion channel inhibitors on breast cancer cells have been studied, but little is known about the effects of TRPM7 kinase domain inhibitors due to lack of potent TRPM7 kinase inhibitors. METHODS: Screening was performed by using TRPM7 kinase assay. Effects of TG100-115 on breast cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, myosin IIA phosphorylation, and TRPM7 ion channel activity were assessed by using MTT, wound healing, transwell assay, Western blotting, and patch clamping, respectively. RESULTS: We found that CREB peptide is a potent substrate for the TR-FRET based TRPM7 kinase assay. Using this method, we discovered a new and potent TRPM7 kinase inhibitor, TG100-115. TG100-115 inhibited TRPM7 kinase activity in an ATP competitive fashion with over 70-fold stronger activity than that of rottlerin, known as a TRPM7 kinase inhibitor. TG100-115 has little effect on proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells, but significantly decreases cell migration and invasion. Moreover, TG100-115 inhibits TRPM7 kinase regulated phosphorylation of the myosin IIA heavy chain and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase. TG100-115 also suppressed TRPM7 ion channel activity. CONCLUSIONS: TG100-115 can be used as a potent TRPM7 kinase inhibitor and a potent inhibitor of breast cancer cell migration. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: TG100-115 could be a useful tool for studying the pharmacological effects of TRPM7 kinase activity aimed at providing insight into new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of breast cancer.

RESUMEN

S1P receptors (S1PR1-5) are a group of GPCRs activated by a high affinity binding with S1P that have important roles in the regulation of the immune system. A potent S1PR agonist FTY720 is an immunomodulator used to treat multiple sclerosis and several 'second generation' drugs are under clinical development. Subtype-selective agonists have been reported for each S1PR isotype, some of which are used as pharmacological tools for functional studies. Here we report the discovery and initial characterization of compound 5c, a benzo[b]thiophene amino carboxylate which exhibits potent and selective agonist activity for S1PR4. Compound 5c has an EC50=200nM as an agonist in GTPγ35S binding assay for S1PR4 and exhibits no activity against S1PR1,2,3,5. We confirmed its potent activity and decent S1PR subtype selectivity using biochemical and cellular assays.

RESUMEN

The human FGF receptors (FGFRs) play critical roles in various human cancers, and several FGFR inhibitors are currently under clinical investigation. Resistance usually results from selection for mutant kinases that are impervious to the action of the drug or from up-regulation of compensatory signaling pathways. Preclinical studies have demonstrated that resistance to FGFR inhibitors can be acquired through mutations in the FGFR gatekeeper residue, as clinically observed for FGFR4 in embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroendocrine breast carcinomas. Here we report on the use of a structure-based drug design to develop two selective, next-generation covalent FGFR inhibitors, the FGFR irreversible inhibitors 2 (FIIN-2) and 3 (FIIN-3). To our knowledge, FIIN-2 and FIIN-3 are the first inhibitors that can potently inhibit the proliferation of cells dependent upon the gatekeeper mutants of FGFR1 or FGFR2, which confer resistance to first-generation clinical FGFR inhibitors such as NVP-BGJ398 and AZD4547. Because of the conformational flexibility of the reactive acrylamide substituent, FIIN-3 has the unprecedented ability to inhibit both the EGF receptor (EGFR) and FGFR covalently by targeting two distinct cysteine residues. We report the cocrystal structure of FGFR4 with FIIN-2, which unexpectedly exhibits a "DFG-out" covalent binding mode. The structural basis for dual FGFR and EGFR targeting by FIIN3 also is illustrated by crystal structures of FIIN-3 bound with FGFR4 V550L and EGFR L858R. These results have important implications for the design of covalent FGFR inhibitors that can overcome clinical resistance and provide the first example, to our knowledge, of a kinase inhibitor that covalently targets cysteines located in different positions within the ATP-binding pocket.

RESUMEN

CDK12 is overexpressed in HER2-positive breast cancers and promotes tumorigenesis and trastuzumab resistance. Thus CDK12 is a good therapeutic target for the HER2-positive breast tumors resistant to trastuzumab. We previously reported a novel purine-based CDK inhibitor with an ability to degrade cyclinK. Herein, we further explored and synthesized new derivatives, and identified a new potent pan-CDK inhibitor degrading cyclinK (32e). Compound 32e potently inhibited CDK12/cyclinK with IC50 = 3 nM, and suppressed the growth of the both trastuzumab-sensitive and trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancer cell lines (GI50's = 9-21 nM), which is superior to a potent, clinical pan-CDK inhibitor dinaciclib. Moreover, 32e (10, 20 mg/kg, ip, twice a week) showed a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth and a more dramatic anti-cancer effect than dinaciclib in mouse in vivo orthotopic breast cancer model of trastuzumab-resistant HCC1954 cells. Kinome-wide inhibition profiling revealed that 32e at 1 µM exhibits a decent selectivity toward CDK-family kinases including CDK12 over other wildtype protein kinases. Quantitative global proteomic analysis of 32e-treated HCC1954 cells demonstrated that 32e also showed a decent selectivity in degrading cyclinK over other cyclins. Compound 32e could be developed as a drug for intractable trastuzumab-resistant HER2-positive breast cancers. Our current study would provide a useful insight in designing potent cyclinK degraders.

RESUMEN

Daunorubicin, also known as daunomycin, is a DNA­targeting anticancer drug that is used as chemotherapy, mainly for patients with leukemia. It has also been shown to have anticancer effects in monotherapy or combination therapy in solid tumors, but at present it has not been adequately studied in colorectal cancer (CRC). In the present study, from a screening using an FDA­approved drug library, it was found that daunorubicin suppresses GLI­dependent luciferase reporter activity. Daunorubicin also increased p53 levels, which contributed to both GLI1 suppression and apoptosis. The current detailed investigation showed that daunorubicin promoted the ß­TrCP­mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of GLI1. Moreover, a competition experiment using BODIPY­cyclopamine, a well­known Smo inhibitor, suggested that daunorubicin does not bind to Smo in HCT116 cells. Administration of daunorubicin (2 mg/kg, ip, qod, 15 days) into HCT116 xenograft mice profoundly suppressed tumor progress and the GLI1 level in tumor tissues. Taken together, the present results revealed that daunorubicin suppresses canonical Hedgehog pathways in CRC. Ultimately, the present study discloses a new mechanism of daunorubicin's anticancer effect and might provide a rationale for expanding the clinical application of daunorubicin.

RESUMEN

An intensive recent effort to develop ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitors has resulted in several potent and selective molecules such as Torin1, PP242, KU63794, and WYE354. These inhibitors are being widely used as pharmacological probes of mTOR-dependent biology. To determine the potency and specificity of these agents, we have undertaken a systematic kinome-wide effort to profile their selectivity and potency using chemical proteomics and assays for enzymatic activity, protein binding, and disruption of cellular signaling. Enzymatic and cellular assays revealed that all four compounds are potent inhibitors of mTORC1 and mTORC2, with Torin1 exhibiting ∼20-fold greater potency for inhibition of Thr-389 phosphorylation on S6 kinases (EC(50) = 2 nM) relative to other inhibitors. In vitro biochemical profiling at 10 µM revealed binding of PP242 to numerous kinases, although WYE354 and KU63794 bound only to p38 kinases and PI3K isoforms and Torin1 to ataxia telangiectasia mutated, ATM and Rad3-related protein, and DNA-PK. Analysis of these protein targets in cellular assays did not reveal any off-target activities for Torin1, WYE354, and KU63794 at concentrations below 1 µM but did show that PP242 efficiently inhibited the RET receptor (EC(50), 42 nM) and JAK1/2/3 kinases (EC(50), 780 nM). In addition, Torin1 displayed unusually slow kinetics for inhibition of the mTORC1/2 complex, a property likely to contribute to the pharmacology of this inhibitor. Our results demonstrated that, with the exception of PP242, available ATP-competitive compounds are highly selective mTOR inhibitors when applied to cells at concentrations below 1 µM and that the compounds may represent a starting point for medicinal chemistry efforts aimed at developing inhibitors of other PI3K kinase-related kinases.

RESUMEN

NSD3/WHSC1L1 lysine methyltransferase promotes the transcription of target genes through di- or tri-methylation at histone H3K36 using SAM as a cofactor. Genetic alterations such as amplification and gain-of-function mutation of NSD3 act as oncogenic drivers in several cancers including squamous cell lung cancer and breast cancer. NSD3 is an important therapeutic target for cancers, but the reported NSD3 inhibitors targeting the catalytic SET domain are very rare and show a poor activity. Herein, from a virtual library screening and the subsequent medicinal chemistry optimization, we identified a novel class of NSD3 inhibitors. Our docking analysis and pulldown result suggested that the most potent analogue 13i shows a unique, bivalent binding mode interacting with both SAM-binding site and BT3-bindig site within the SET domain. We found 13i inhibits NSD3 activity with IC50 = 287 µM in vitro and suppresses the proliferation of JIMT1 breast cancer cells with GI50 = 36.5 µM, which express a high level of NSD3. Also, 13i downregulated the levels of H3K36me2/3 in a dose-dependent manner. Our study could provide an insight in designing high-affinity NSD3 inhibitors. Also, as the acrylamide group of 13i was predicted to position near Cys1265 in the BT3-binding site, further optimization would lead to a discovery of novel irreversible NSD3 inhibitors.

RESUMEN

In this study, we aimed to identify novel compounds that could afford protection against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by employing both cell- and zebrafish (Danio rerio)-based screening platforms. We screened 923 US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs to identify potential compounds exhibiting protective effects against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in HEI-OC1 cells (auditory hair cell line). The screening strategy identified esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole as the primary hit compounds. Subsequently, we examined the effects of these compounds on cell viability and apoptosis. Our results revealed that esomeprazole and dexlansoprazole inhibited organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), thus providing in vitro evidence that these compounds could ameliorate cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by directly inhibiting OCT2-mediated cisplatin transport. In vivo, the protective effects were validated using zebrafish; esomeprazole was found to decrease cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in neuromasts. Furthermore, the esomeprazole-treated group showed a significantly lower number of TUNEL-positive cells than the cisplatin-treated group. Collectively, our findings revealed that esomeprazole exerts a protective effect against cisplatin-induced hair cell damage in both HEI-OC1 cells and a zebrafish model.

RESUMEN

HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is defined by HER2 oncogene amplification on chromosome 17q12 and accounts for 15−20% population of breast-cancer patients. Therapeutic anti-HER2 antibody such as trastuzumab is used as the first-line therapy for HER2-positive breast cancers. However, more than 50% of the patients respond poorly to trastuzumab, illustrating that novel therapy is warranted to overcome the resistance. We previously reported that in the majority of HER2+ breast-cancer patients, CDK12 is co-amplified on 17q12 and involved in developing tumors and trastuzumab resistance, proposing CDK12 as a potential drug target for HER2+ breast cancers. Here, we designed and synthesized novel 2,6,9-trisubstituted purines as potent CDK12 inhibitors showing strong, equipotent antiproliferative activity against trastuzumab-sensitive HER2+ SK-Br3 cells and trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ HCC1954 cells (GI50 values < 50 nM) both of which express a high level of CDK12. Two potent analogue 30d and 30e at 40, 200 nM greatly downregulated the levels of cyclinK and Pol II p-CTD (Ser2), as well as the expression of CDK12 downstream genes (IRS1 and WNT1) in a dose-dependent manner. We also observed structure-property relationship for a subset of potent analogues, and found that 30e is highly stable in liver microsomes with lack of CYP inhibition. In addition, 30d exhibited a synergy with trastuzumab in the both cells, suggesting that our inhibitors could be applied to alleviate trastuzumab-resistance of HER2+ breast cancers and escalate the efficacy of trastuzumab as well. Our study may provide insight into developing a novel therapy for HER2+ breast cancers.

RESUMEN

Irreversible HER/erbB inhibitors selectively inhibit HER-family kinases by targeting a unique cysteine residue located within the ATP-binding pocket. Sequence alignment reveals that this rare cysteine is also present in ten other protein kinases including all five Tec-family members. We demonstrate that the Tec-family kinase Bmx is potently inhibited by irreversible modification at Cys496 by clinical stage EGFR inhibitors such as CI-1033. This cross-reactivity may have significant clinical implications.

RESUMEN

Although various delivery systems for nucleic acids have been reported, development of an efficient and non-toxic delivery carrier is still a key subject for gene therapy. To find new efficient delivery carriers for nucleic acids, we synthesized amphiphilic peptides composed of a guanidino group, an oleyl group, and a cysteine. We prepared both linear and branched types of peptides and found that the linear peptides were superior to the branched peptides as nucleic acid carriers. Our study also suggested that the intermolecular cysteine disulfides might allow the linear peptides to form the optimal particle sizes with nucleic acids for cellular uptake. The incorporation of a benzoyl group to the linear peptide gave rise to smaller, less suitable particle size with plasmid DNA, which greatly reduced the efficiency of plasmid DNA delivery. On the other hand, the benzoyl modification maintained the optimal particle size with siRNA, and interestingly it significantly enhanced the siRNA delivery. The higher efficiency is because the hydrophobicity from the benzoyl group might assist in interacting with the hydrophobic cell membrane. This demonstrates that a small structural change can modulate the preference of the carriers. Our study may provide an insight designing efficient delivery carriers.

RESUMEN

GNF-7, a multitargeted kinase inhibitor, served as a dual kinase inhibitor of ACK1 and GCK, which provided a novel therapeutic strategy for overriding AML expressing NRAS mutation. This SAR study with GNF-7 derivatives, designed to target NRAS mutant-driven AML, led to identification of the extremely potent inhibitors, 10d, 10g, and 11i, which possess single-digit nanomolar inhibitory activity against both ACK1 and GCK. These substances strongly suppress proliferation of mutant NRAS expressing AML cells via apoptosis and AKT/mTOR signaling blockade. Compound 11i is superior to GNF-7 in terms of kinase inhibitory activity, cellular activity, and differential cytotoxicity. Moreover, 10k possessing a favorable mouse pharmacokinetic profile prolonged life-span of Ba/F3-NRAS-G12D injected mice and significantly delayed tumor growth of OCI-AML3 xenograft model without causing the prominent level of toxicity found with GNF-7. Taken together, this study provides insight into the design of novel ACK1 and GCK dual inhibitors for overriding NRAS mutant-driven AML.

RESUMEN

The kinase known as IKK-ß activates NF-κB signaling pathway leading to expression of several genes contributing to inflammation, immune response, and cell proliferation. Modulation of IKK-ß kinase activity could be useful for treatment and management of such diseases. Starting from a discovered weakly active hit compound, twenty four thiazolidinedione-scaffold based chemical entities belonging to five series have been designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential IKK-ß modulators. Among them, compounds 6q, 6r and 6u showed low micromolar IC50 values while compounds 6v, 6w, and 6x elicited submicromolar IC50 values equal to 0.4, 0.7 and 0.9 µM respectively. These submicromolar IC50 values are 243, 139 and 105 folds the value of the reported IC50 of the starting hit compound. Kinetic study of compounds 6v and 6w confirmed this class of modulators as irreversible inhibitors. LPS-treated RAW 264.7 macrophages proved the anti-inflammatory activity of compounds 6q and 6v. Assay of hERG inhibition demonstrated a safe profile of compound 6q suggesting it as a lead for further development of IKK-ß modulators.

RESUMEN

We synthesized 1 (San78-130), a reversible version of L-783277, as a selective and potent ALK1 inhibitor. Our study showed that 1 possesses great kinase selectivity against a panel of 342 kinases and more potent activity against ALK1 than L-783277. Among the six ALK isotypes (ALK1-6), ALK1 is most significantly inhibited by compound 1. Compound 1 suppresses the BMP9-induced Smad1/5 pathway by mainly inhibiting ALK1 in C2C12 cells. Our molecular dynamics simulations suggest that H-bonding interaction between the C-4' hydroxyl group of 1 and Arg334 of ALK1 substantially contributes to the ALK1 inhibition. To the best of our knowledge, 1 is the first selective ALK1 inhibitor. Furthermore, compound 1 promoted angiogenesis in both endothelial tube formation and microfluidic chip based 3D angiogenesis assays, suggesting that 1 could be a lead compound for therapeutic angiogenesis agents. Our study may provide an insight into designing selective and potent inhibitors against ALK1.

RESUMEN

Through a structure-based drug design approach, a tricyclic benzonaphthyridinone pharmacophore was used as a starting point for carrying out detailed medicinal structure-activity relationhip (SAR) studies geared toward characterization of a panel of proposed BTK inhibitors, including 6 (QL-X-138), 7 (BMX-IN-1) and 8 (QL47). These studies led to the discovery of the novel potent irreversible BTK inhibitor, compound 18 (CHMFL-BTK-11). Kinetic analysis of compound 18 revealed an irreversible binding efficacy (kinact/Ki) of 0.01 µM-1s-1. Compound 18 potently inhibited BTK kinase Y223 auto-phosphorylation (EC50 < 100 nM), arrested cell cycle in G0/G1 phase, and induced apoptosis in Ramos, MOLM13 and Pfeiffer cells. We believe these features would make 18 a good pharmacological tool for studying BTK-related pathologies.
