Checkpoint Kinase Inhibitors: SAR and Radioprotective Properties of a Series of 2-Arylbenzimidazoles
摘要:
The discovery of a series of novel, potent, and highly selective inhibitors of the DNA damage control kinase chk2 is disclosed. Here we report the first SAR study around inhibitors of this kinase. High-throughput screening of purified human chk2 led to the identification of a novel series of 2-arylbenzimidazole inhibitors of the kinase. Optimization was facilitated using homology models of chk2 and docking of inhibitors, leading to the highly potent 2-arylbenzimidazole 2h (IC50 15 nM). Compound 2h is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of chk2 that dose dependently protects human CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from apoptosis due to ionizing radiation. This work suggests that a selective small molecule inhibitor of chk2 could be a useful adjuvant to radiotherapy, increasing the therapeutic window of such treatment.

(EN) The invention relates to benzimidazole antibacterial compounds of formula (I) as described herein, pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods for their production and use. These compounds are effective in inhibiting the action of a bacterial histidine protein kinase and are useful as anti-infective agents against a variety of bacterial organisms, including organisms which are resistant to other known antibiotics.(FR) Cette invention concerne des composés anti-bactériens à base de benzimidazole et répondant à la formule (I) telle que décrite dans le descriptif; des compositions pharmaceutiques renfermant ces composés; et des procédés permettant de les fabriquer et de les utiliser. Ces composés sont des inhibiteurs efficaces de l'action d'une protéine histidine kinase bactérienne et sont utilisés en tant qu'agents anti-infectieux agissant contre une série d'organismes bactériens, y compris les organismes résistant à d'autres antibiotiques connus.
