Combining X-ray Crystallography and Molecular Modeling toward the Optimization of Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines as Potent c-Src Inhibitors Active in Vivo against Neuroblastoma
摘要:
c-Src is a tyrosine kinase belonging to the Src-family kinases. It is overexpressed and/or hyperactivated in a variety of cancer cells, thus its inhibition has been predicted to have therapeutic effects in solid tumors. Recently, the pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine 3 was reported as a dual c-Src/Abl inhibitor. Herein we describe a multidisciplinary drug discovery approach for the optimization of the lead 3 against c-Src. Starting from the X-ray crystal structure of c-Src in complex with 3, Monte Carlo free energy perturbation calculations were applied to guide the design of c-Src inhibitors with improved activities. As a result, the introduction of a meta hydroxyl group on the C4 anilino ring was computed to be particularly favorable. The potency of the synthesized inhibitors was increased with respect to the starting lead 3. The best identified compounds were also found active in the inhibition of neuroblastoma cell proliferation. Furthermore, compound 29 also showed in vivo activity in xenograft model using SH-SY5Y cells.
screening of this “privilegedscaffold”-based compound collection, validated the use of a diversity-oriented approach in a field characteristically explored by target-oriented synthesis. In fact, several compounds showed high activity against the selected kinases (i.e., Src, Abl wt, and T315I mutated-form), furthermore and interestingly a new compound has emerged as an allosteric inhibitor of the T315I mutated-form
具有高水平分子多样性的吡唑并[3,4- d ]嘧啶文库已通过应用允许C3,N1,C4和C6取代的合成序列开发而成。对这种基于“特权支架”的化合物集合的酶促筛选,证实了在以目标为导向的合成为特征的领域中,以多样性为导向的方法的使用。实际上,几种化合物对选定的激酶表现出高活性(即Src,Abl wt和T315I突变形式),而且有趣的是,新化合物作为A315的T315I突变形式的变构抑制剂出现了,打开了大门。开发新型非竞争性Abl抑制剂(T315I)的新机会。
