The transcriptional coactivator cAMP response element binding protein (CREB)-binding (CBP) and its homologue p300 have emerged as attractive therapeutic targets for human cancers such acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Herein, we report the design, synthesis, biological evaluation of a series cereblon (CRBN)-recruiting CBP/p300 proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) based on inhibitor CCS1477. representative compounds
The discovery of inhibitors bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) has achieved great progress, at least seven have progressed into clinical trials for the treatment cancer or inflammatory diseases. Here, we describe identification, optimization, evaluation benzo[cd]indol-2(1H)-one containing compounds as a new class BET inhibitors, starting from structure-based virtual screening (SBVS). Through potent were obtained with significantly improved activity. two most bind to BRD4...
A series of 2-amino-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxamides were designed and synthesized as new selective discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) inhibitors. One the representative compounds, 7f, bound with DDR1 a Kd value 5.9 nM suppressed kinase activity an half-maximal (50%) inhibitory concentration 14.9 nM. 7f potently inhibited collagen-induced signaling epithelial–mesenchymal transition, dose-dependently colony formation pancreatic cancer cells, exhibited promising in vivo therapeutic...
The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family proteins have gained increasing interest as drug targets for treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Here, we describe the design, optimization, evaluation benzo[d]isoxazole-containing compounds potent BET inhibitors. Cocrystal structures representative inhibitors in complex with BRD4(1) provided solid structural basis compound optimization. two most compounds, 6i (Y06036) 7m (Y06137), bound to Kd values 82 81 nM,...
CREB (cyclic-AMP responsive element binding protein) protein (CBP) is a potential target for prostate cancer treatment. Herein, we report the structural optimization of series 1-(indolizin-3-yl)ethan-1-one compounds as new selective CBP bromodomain inhibitors, aiming to improve cellular potency and metabolic stability. This process led compound 9g (Y08284), which possesses good liver microsomal stability pharmacokinetic properties (F = 25.9%). Furthermore, able inhibit well proliferation,...
Ferroptosis is a novel form of oxidative cell death triggered by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. The induction ferroptosis presents an attractive therapeutic strategy for human diseases, such as prostate cancer and breast cancer. Herein, we describe our design, synthesis, biological evaluation endogenous glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) degraders using the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) approach with aim inducing in cells. Our efforts led to discovery compound
The death signaling complex comprising extrasynaptic NMDAR and TRPM4 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke. Targeting protein-protein interactions between represents promising therapeutic strategy for Herein, we describe discovery novel series NMDAR/TRPM4 interaction interface inhibitors aimed at enhancing neuroprotective efficacy optimizing pharmacokinetic profiles. representative compound
Pan-BD2 inhibitors have been shown to retain an antileukemia effect and display less dose-limiting toxicities than pan-BET inhibitors. However, it is necessary consider the potential off-target toxicity associated with inhibition of four BET BD2 proteins. To date, no BRD4 domain selective inhibitor has reported. Based on our previous pan-BD2
Discoidin-domain receptors 1 and 2 (DDR1 DDR2) are new potential targets for anti-inflammatory-drug discovery. A series of heterocycloalkynylbenzimides were designed optimized to coinhibit DDR1 DDR2. One the most promising compounds, 5n, tightly bound DDR2 proteins with Kd values 7.9 8.0 nM; potently inhibited kinases IC50 9.4 20.4 nM, respectively; was significantly less potent a panel 403 wild-type at 1.0 μM. DDR1- DDR2-kinase inhibition by 5n validated Western-blotting analysis in primary...
The design and development of agonists selectively targeting thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) TRβ mutants remain challenging tasks. In this study, we first adopted the strategy breaking "His-Phe switch" to solve two problems, simultaneously. A structure-based approach was successfully utilized obtain compound 16g, which is a potent agonist (EC50: 21.0 nM, 85.0% maximum efficacy 1) with outstanding selectivity for over TRα also effectively activates TRβH435R mutant. Then, developed highly...
