Bicyclic compounds as ring-constrained inhibitors of protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck
摘要:
A study was undertaken to prepare inhibitors of the lymphocyte protein-tyrosine kinase p56lck. Using the known p56lck inhibitor 3,4-dihydroxy-alpha-cyanocinnamamide (4) as a lead compound, bicyclic analogues were designed as conformationally constrained mimetics in which the phenyl ring and vinyl side chain of the cinnamamide are locked into a coplanar orientation. Such planarity was rationalized to be an important determinant for binding within a putative flat, cleftlike catalytic cavity. Bicyclic analogues were prepared using the naphthalene, quinoline, isoquinoline, and 2-iminochromene ring systems and examined for their ability to inhibit autophosphorylation of immunopurified p56lck. The most potent analogues were methyl 7,8-dihydroxyisoquinoline-3-carboxylate (12) (IC50 = 0.2 muM) and 7,8-dihydroxyisoquinoline-3-carboxamide (13) (IC50 = 0.5 muM). Inhibition by 12 was not competitive with respect to ATP. These compounds may represent important new structural motifs for the development of p56lck inhibitors.

The 3-aryl-2-cyanoacrylamide scaffold was designed as core pharmacophore for inhibitors of the Dengue and West Nile virus serine proteases (NS2B-NS3). A total of 86 analogs was prepared to study the structure-activity relationships in detail. Thereby, it turned out that the electron density of the aryl moiety and the central double bond have a crucial influence on the activity of the compounds, whereas the influence of substituents of the amide residue is less relevant. The para-hydroxy substituted analog was found to be the most potent inhibitor in this series with a K(i)-value of 35.7 mu M at the Dengue and 44.6 mu M at the West Nile virus protease. The aprotinin competition assay demonstrates a direct interaction of the inhibitor molecule with active centre of the Dengue virus protease. The target selectivity was studied in a counterscreen with thrombin and found to be 2.8:1 in favor of DEN protease and 2.3:1 in favor of WNV protease, respectively. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
