Optimization of Isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine-Based Inhibitors of Cyclin G Associated Kinase (GAK) with Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Activity
摘要:
There is an urgent need for strategies to combat dengue and other emerging viral infections. We reported that cyclin G-associated kinase (GAK), a cellular regulator of the clathrin-associated host adaptor proteins AP-1 and AP-2, regulates intracellular trafficking of multiple unrelated RNA viruses during early and late stages of the viral lifecycle. We also reported the discovery of potent, selective GAK inhibitors based on an isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine scaffold, albeit with moderate antiviral activity. Here, we describe our efforts leading to the discovery of novel isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridines that maintain high GAK affinity and selectivity. These compounds demonstrate improved in vitro activity against dengue virus, including in human primary dendritic cells, and efficacy against the unrelated Ebola and chikungunya viruses. Moreover, inhibition of GAK activity was validated as an important mechanism of antiviral action of these compounds. These findings demonstrate the potential utility of a GAK-targeted broad-spectrum approach for combating currently untreatable emerging viral infections.

G-associated kinase (GAK) is a cellular regulator of the clathrin-associated host adaptor proteins AP-1 and AP-2, which regulates intracellular trafficking of dengue virus during early and late stages of the viral lifecycle. Previously, the discovery of isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridines as potent and selective GAK inhibitors with promising antiviral activity was reported. In this manuscript, the synthesis of isothiazolo[4

Starting from a known isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine scaffold, different series of novel, potent GAK ligands were synthesized.
The present invention relates to a class of novel isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives and a method for their preparation, as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of said isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The present invention further relates to the use of said novel isothiazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives as biologically active ingredients, more specifically as medicaments for the treatment of disorders and pathologic conditions such as, but not limited to, cell-proliferative and neurodegenerative diseases.
Cyclin G associated kinase (GAK) emerged as a promising drug target for the treatment of viral infections. However, no potent and selective GAK inhibitors have been reported in the literature to date. This paper describes the discovery of isothiazolo[5,4-b]pyridines as selective GAK inhibitors, with the most potent congeners displaying low nanomolar binding affinity for GAK. Cocrystallization experiments revealed that these compounds behaved as classic type I ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors. In addition, we have demonstrated that these compounds exhibit a potent activity against hepatitis C virus (HCV) by inhibiting two temporally distinct steps in the HCV life cycle (i.e., viral entry and assembly). Hence, these GAK inhibitors represent chemical probes to study GAK function in different disease areas where GAK has been implicated (including viral infection, cancer, and Parkinsons disease).
