Triphenylbutanamines: Kinesin Spindle Protein Inhibitors with in Vivo Antitumor Activity
摘要:
The human mitotic kinesin Eg5 represents a novel mitotic spindle target for cancer chemotherapy. We previously identified S-trityl-L-cysteine (STLC) and related analogues as selective potent inhibitors of Eg5. We herein report on the development of a series of 4,4,4-triphenylbutan-1-amine inhibitors derived from the STLC scaffold. This new generation systematically improves on potency: the most potent C-trityl analogues exhibit K-i(aPP) <= 10 nM and GI(50) approximate to 50 nM, comparable to results from the phase II clinical benchmark ispinesib. Crystallographic studies reveal that they adopt the same overall binding configuration as S-trityl analogues at an allosteric site formed by loop L5 of Eg5. Evaluation of their druglike properties reveals favorable profiles for future development and, in the clinical candidate ispinesib, moderate hERG and CYP inhibition. One triphenylbutanamine analogue and ispinesib possess very good bioavailability (51% and 45%, respectively), with the former showing in vivo antitumor growth activity in nude mice xenograft studies.

The synthesis of an allylic linker is presented to which primary and secondary amino groups can be anchored on solid phase. By acylating MBHA resin with allyllinker HOCH2CHCHCH2OCH2COOH followed by treatment with 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate a mixed carbonate linker is obtained to which amino groups can be attached. The allyl carbamate linkage is stable to both bases and anhydrous acids and
The design of artificial structures such as Peptide Nucleic Acids (PNAs) capable of recognizing nucleic acids has attracted much attention. We report herein the design of L-homoserine derivatives bearing diaminotriazine groups as artificial nucleobase capable of pairing to thymine. We set up an original six-step synthetic route (45% overall yield) that enables the functionalization of the nucleobase analogue. Furthermore, we show that these modified amino acids can be incorporated, by solid-phase peptide synthesis, into alternate and homopolymer alpha-PNAs, thereby giving access to alpha-PNAs in which the nucleobase analogue bears functional groups that may prove useful for the multi-point recognition of nucleic acids.

New compounds having tri- or pentamethylenamine linker functions were synthesized. These derivatives were covalently attached through the 5'-phosphoramide linkage to heptanucleotide pd(CCAAACA). Complementary complexes of the octanucleotide pd(TGTTTGGC) and above oligonucleotide conjugates were tested for their thermodynamic response. The T-m data and thermodynamic parameters for complex formation confirmed the ability of chromone (gamma-pyrone) derivatives to stabilize strongly the 7-mer/8-mer complementary complex. Moreover, benzochromone (naphthopyrane) and, surprisingly, tetrallydropyrimidinethanone derivatives showed the capacity of stabilizing this 7-mer/8-mer complementary complex. The effect of all these compounds on the stability of the oligonucleotide complexes (DeltaG at 37degreesC ranged from - 1.2 to -2.0 kcal/mol) was shown to be comparable to the effect of one nucleotide base pair and similar to the effect (DeltaDeltaG at 37degreesC ranged from -1.5 to -2.0 kcal/mol) found for acridine-oligonucleotide conjugates, which served as a reference in this study.
