(TCR) signaling, to dampen the immune response. Herein we describe the structure-based discovery of isofuranones as inhibitors of HPK1. Optimization of the chemotype led to improvements in potency, selectivity, plasma protein binding, and metabolic stability, culminating in the identification of compound 24. Oral administration of 24, in combination with an anti-PD1 antibody, demonstrated robust enhancement
尽管免疫检查点抑制剂的发现已导致多种癌症产生强大而持久的反应,但许多患者对目前可用的治疗方法没有反应。因此,迫切需要鉴定增强免疫介导的肿瘤清除的替代机制。造血祖细胞激酶1(HPK1)是一种丝氨酸-苏氨酸激酶,可作为T细胞受体(TCR)信号的负调节剂,从而减弱免疫反应。在本文中,我们描述了异呋喃酮作为HPK1抑制剂的基于结构的发现。化学型的优化导致效力,选择性,血浆蛋白结合和代谢稳定性的改善,最终鉴定出化合物24。口服24与抗PD1抗体组合,在结直肠癌的同基因肿瘤模型中证明了抗PD1功效的强劲增强。
