Combining structure- and property-based optimization to identify selective FLT3-ITD inhibitors with good antitumor efficacy in AML cell inoculated mouse xenograft model
摘要:
FLT3 mutation is among the most common genetic mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is also related with poor overall survival and refractory in AML patients. Recently, FLT3 inhibitors have been approved for AML therapy. Herein, a series of new compounds with pyrazole amine scaffold was discovered, which showed potent inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD and significant selectivity against both FLT3-ITD and AML cells expressing FLT3-ITD. Compound 46, possessing the most promising cellular activity, blocked the autophosphorylation of FLT3 pathway in MV4-11 cell line. Furthermore, the apoptosis and downregulation of P-STAT5 were also observed in tumor cells extracted from the MV411 cell xenografts model upon compound 46 treatment. Compound 46 was also metabolically stable in vitro and suppressed tumor growth significantly in MV4-11 xenografts model in vivo. Compound 46 showed no toxicity to the viscera of mice and caused no decrease in body weight of mice. In conclusion, the results of this study could provide valuable insights into discovery of new FLT3 inhibitors, and compound 46 was worthy of further development as potential drug candidate to treat AML (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS.

PfGSK3 and PfPK6, with potent inhibitors further assessed for activity against blood and liver stage parasites. This culminated in the discovery of dual PfGSK3/PfPK6 inhibitors 23d (PfGSK3/PfPK6 IC50 = 172/11 nM) and 23e (PfGSK3/PfPK6 IC50 = 97/8 nM) with antiplasmodial activity (23dPf3D7 EC50 = 552 ± 37 nM and 23ePf3D7 EC50 = 1400 ± 13 nM). However, both compounds exhibited significant promiscuity when
