Optimization of Cellular Activity of G9a Inhibitors 7-Aminoalkoxy-quinazolines
摘要:
Protein lysine methyltransferase G9a plays key roles in the transcriptional repression of a variety of genes via dimethylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me2) of chromatin as well as dimethylation of nonhistone proteins including tumor suppressor p53. We previously reported the discovery of UNC0321 (3), the most potent G9a inhibitor to date, via structure-based design and structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration of the quinazoline scaffold represented by BIX01294 (1). Despite its very high in vitro potency, compound 3 lacks sufficient cellular potency. The design and synthesis of several generations of new analogues aimed at improving cell membrane permeability while maintaining high in vitro potency resulted in the discovery of a number of novel G9a inhibitors such as UNC0646 (6) and UNC0631 (7) with excellent potency in a variety of cell lines and excellent separation of functional potency versus cell toxicity. The design, synthesis, and cellular SAR of these potent G9a inhibitors are described.

hits binding to Pim-1kinase with initially modest affinity were further optimized combining computational, synthetic and crystallographic expertise, eventually resulting in potent ligands with affinities in the nanomolar range that address rarely-targeted regions of Pim-1kinase. Starting from a set of crystallographically validated, chemically distinct fragments that bind to Pim-1kinase but lack typical
A series of CC chemokine receptor-4 (CCR4) antagonists were examined in a previous report in an attempt to improve metabolic stability in human liver microsomes. In this study, the cycloheptylamine moiety of N-cycloheptyl-6,7-dimethoxy-2-(4-pyrrolidin-1-ylpiperidin-1-yl)quinazolin-4-amine 1 was replaced with the p-chloroaniline moiety, and the resulting compound, N-(4-chlorophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-2-(4-pyrrolidin-1-ylpiperidin-1-yl)quinazolin-4-amine (8c), retained its potency ([S-35]GTP gamma S-binding inhibition and CCL22-induced chemotaxis in humans/mice). Based on the structure-activity relationships (SAR), a homology model was constructed for CCR4 to explain the binding mode of 8c. Overall, there was good agreement between the docking pose of the CCR4 homology model and the human [S-35] GTP gamma S assay results. Administration of 8c in a murine model of acute dermatitis showed anti-inflammatory activity (oxazolone-induced contact hypersensitivity test). (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Accelerated proliferation of solid tumor and hematologic cancer cells is linked to accelerated transcription of rDNA by the RNA polymerase I (Pol I) enzyme to produce elevated levels of rRNA (rRNA). Indeed, upregulation of Pol I, frequently caused by mutational alterations among tumor suppressors and oncogenes, is required for maintenance of the cancer phenotype and forms the basis for seeking selective inhibitors of Pot I as anticancer therapeutics. 2-(4-Methyl-[1,4]diazepan-1-yl)-5-oxo-5H-7-thia-1,11b-diaza-benzo[c]fluorene-6-carboxylic acid (5-methyl-pyrazin-2-ylmethyl)-amide (CX-5461, 7c) has been identified as the first potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of RNA Pot I transcription with in vivo activity in tumor growth efficacy models. The preclinical data support the development of CX-5461 as an anticancer drug with potential for activity in several types of cancer.
