Overexpression of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) in cancers correlates with high tumor grade and poor survival. Additionally, Mcl-1 drives intrinsic and acquired resistance to many cancer therapeutics, including B cell lymphoma 2 family inhibitors, proteasome inhibitors, and antitubulins. Therefore, Mcl-1 inhibition could serve as a strategy to target cancers that require Mcl-1 to evade apoptosis
骨髓细胞白血病-1 (Mcl-1) 在癌症中的过度表达与高肿瘤等级和较差的存活率相关。此外,Mcl-1 驱动对许多癌症疗法的内在和获得性耐药,包括 B 细胞淋巴瘤 2 家族抑制剂、蛋白酶体抑制剂和抗微管蛋白。因此,Mcl-1 抑制可以作为靶向需要 Mcl-1 逃避细胞凋亡的癌症的策略。在此,我们描述了使用基于结构的设计来发现一种新型化合物 (42),该化合物在细胞培养和动物异种移植模型中强力且特异性地抑制 Mcl-1。化合物 42 以皮摩尔亲和力结合 Mcl-1,并在纳摩尔范围内抑制 Mcl-1 依赖性肿瘤细胞系的生长。化合物 42 还在耐受良好的剂量下抑制血液学和三阴性乳腺癌异种移植物的生长。
