optimization to obtain 54 (IC50 = 14 nM). Compound 54 exhibited high selectivity among 215 kinases and significantly suppressed the proliferation and metastasis of PCa cells in vitro. Moreover, compound 54 displayed high safety, favorable bioavailability, and potent tumor growth inhibitory activity in vivo, which could be used as a potential candidate in the discovery of novel anti-PCa drugs.
前列腺癌(PCa)严重威胁男性健康,靶向双特异性酪氨酸磷酸化调节激酶2(DYRK2)已被证实可以减轻PCa负担,而DYRK2抑制剂的研究进展相对缓慢。在这项工作中,我们通过虚拟筛选发现了 DYRK2 抑制剂12 (IC 50 = 9681 nM)。随后,我们进行了系统的结构优化以获得54 (IC 50 = 14 nM)。化合物54对215种激酶具有较高的选择性,并在体外显着抑制PCa细胞的增殖和转移。此外,化合物54在体内表现出高安全性、良好的生物利用度和有效的肿瘤生长抑制活性,可作为发现新型抗PCa药物的潜在候选者。
