RNA polymerase I (Pol I) is a dedicated polymerase for the transcription of the 47S ribosomal RNA precursor subsequently processed into the mature 5.8S, 18S and 28S ribosomal RNAs and assembled into ribosomes in the nucleolus. Pol I activity is commonly deregulated in human cancers. Based on the discovery of lead molecule BMH-21, a series of pyridoquinazolinecarboxamides were synthesized as inhibitors of Pol I and activators of the destruction of RPA194, the Pol I large catalytic subunit protein. The present invention identifies a set of bioactive compounds, including purified stereoisomers, that potently cause RPA194 degradation that function in a tightly constrained chemical space. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and their uses in cancer and other Pol I related diseases is also provided.
RNA 聚合酶 I(Pol I)是一种专用聚合酶,用于转录 47S 核糖体 RNA 前体,随后加工成成熟的 5.8S、18S 和 28S 核糖体 RNA,并在核仁中组装成核糖体。在人类癌症中,Pol I 的活性通常会发生失调。在发现先导分子 BMH-21 的基础上,合成了一系列吡啶喹唑啉羧酰胺,作为 Pol I 的抑制剂和破坏 Pol I 大催化亚基蛋白 RPA194 的激活剂。本发明确定了一组生物活性化合物,包括纯化的立体异构体,它们能有效地导致 RPA194 降解,并在严格限制的化学空间中发挥作用。本发明还提供了包含这些化合物的药物组合物及其在癌症和其他 Pol I 相关疾病中的用途。
