Discovery of New Benzothiazole-Based Inhibitors of Breakpoint Cluster Region-Abelson Kinase Including the T315I Mutant
摘要:
The existence of drug resistance caused by mutations in the break-point cluster region-Abelson tyrosine kinase (Bcr-Abl) kinase domain remains a clinical challenge due to limited effective treatment options for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Herein we report a novel series of benzothiazole-based inhibitors that are effective against wild-type and T315I mutant Bcr-Abl kinases. The original hit compound, nocodazole, was extensively modified through a structure-based drug design strategy, especially by varying the groups at the C2 and C6 positions of the scaffold. In addition, the introduction of water-solubilizing groups at the terminal ethyl group resulted in enhanced physicochemical properties and potency in cellular inhibition. Several compounds inhibited the kinase activity of both wild-type Bcr-Abl and the T315I mutant with IC50 values in the picomolar range and exhibited good antiproliferative effects on Ba/F3 cell lines transformed with either wild-type or T315I mutant Bcr-Abl.
The invention relates to a method of removing 3-deoxyglucosone and other alpha-dicarbonyl sugars from skin. The invention further relates to methods of inhibiting production and function of 3-deoxyglucosone and other alpha-dicarbonyl sugars in skin. The invention also relates to methods of treating 3-deoxyglucosone and other alpha-dicarbonyl sugars associated diseases and disorders of skin.

Disclosed are methods of using various compounds, which are known to bind to 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG) or precursors thereof, in order to reduce a susceptibility to tumor formation and/or to prevent or delay onset of tumor formation induced by 3DG and its precursors. Also disclosed is the reduction of 3DG levels in high fructose corn syrop so that the high fructose corn syrup is less likely to induce tumor formation.
