Design, synthesis, and evaluation of potent Wnt signaling inhibitors featuring a fused 3-ring system
摘要:
The Wnt signaling pathway is a critical developmental pathway which operates through control of cellular functions such as proliferation and differentiation. Aberrant Wnt signaling has been linked to the formation and metastasis of tumors. Porcupine, a member of the membrane -bound O-acyltransferase family of proteins, is an important component of the Wnt pathway. Porcupine catalyzes the palmitoylation of Wnt proteins, a process needed for their secretion and activity. Here we report a novel series of compounds obtained by a scaffold hybridization strategy from a known porcupine inhibitor class. The leading compound 59 demonstrated subnanomolar inhibition of Wnt signaling in a paracrine cellular assay. Compound 59 also showed excellent chemical, plasma and liver microsomal stabilities. Furthermore, compound 59 exhibited good pharmacokinetic profiles with 30% oral bioavailability in rat. Collectively, these results strongly support further optimization of this novel scaffold to develop better Wnt pathway inhibitors. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

This invention relates to compounds. More specifically, the invention relates to compounds useful as inhibitors of the Wnt signalling pathway. Specifically, inhibitors of Porcupine (Porcn) are contemplated by the invention. In addition the invention contemplates processes to prepare the compounds and uses of the compounds. The compounds of the invention may therefore be used in treating conditions mediated by the Wnt signalling pathway, for example treating cancer, sarcoma, melanoma, skin cancer, haematological tumors, lymphoma, carcinoma, and leukemia; or enhancing the effectiveness of an anti-cancer treatment.
