DDR1 is considered as a promising target for cancer therapy, and selective inhibitors against DDR1 over other kinases may be considered as promising therapeutic agents. Herein, we have identified a series of 3'-(imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyrazin-3-yl)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carboxamides as novel selective DDR1 inhibitors. Among these, compound 8v potently inhibited DDR1 with an IC50 of 23.8 nM, while it showed less inhibitory activity against DDR2 (IC50 = 1740 nM) and negligible activities against Bcr-Abl (IC50 > 10 mu M) and c-Kit (IC50 > 10 mu M). 8v also exhibited excellent selectivity in a KINOMEscan screening platform with 468 kinases. This compound dose-dependently suppressed NSCLC cell tumorigenicity, migration, and invasion. Collectively, these studies support its potential application for treatment of NSCLC.

Discoidin-domain receptors 1 and 2 (DDR1 and DDR2) are new potential targets for anti-inflammatory-drug discovery. A series of heterocycloalkynylbenzimides were designed and optimized to coinhibit DDR1 and DDR2. One of the most promising compounds, Sn, tightly bound to DDR1 and DDR2 proteins with K-d values of 7.9 and 8.0 nM; potently inhibited the kinases with IC50 values of 9.4 and 20.4 nM, respectively; and was significantly less potent for a panel of 403 wild-type kinases at 1.0 mu M. DDR1- and DDR2-kinase inhibition by 5n was validated by Western-blotting analysis in primary human lung fibroblasts. The compound also dose-dependently inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced interleukin 6 (IL-6) release in vitro and exhibited promising in vivo anti-inflammatory effects in an LPS-induced-acute-lung-injury (ALI) mouse model. Compound 5n may serve as a lead compound for new anti-inflammatory drug discovery.
Discovery and Optimization of 3-(2-(Pyrazolo[1,5-<i>a</i>]pyrimidin-6-yl)ethynyl)benzamides as Novel Selective and Orally Bioavailable Discoidin Domain Receptor 1 (DDR1) Inhibitors
Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is an emerging potential molecular target for new anticancer drug discovery. We have discovered a series of 3-(2-(pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-6-yl) ethynyl)-benzamides that are selective and orally bioavailable DDR1 inhibitors. The two most promising compounds (7rh and 7rj) inhibited the enzymatic activity of DDR1, with IC50 values of 6.8 and 7.0 nM, respectively, but were significantly less potent in suppressing the kinase activities of DDR2, Bcr-Abl, and c-Kit. Further study revealed that 7rh bound with DDR1 with a K-d value of 0.6 nM, while it was significantly less potent to the other 455 kinases tested. The S(35) and S(10) selectivity scores of 7rh were 0.035 and 0.008, respectively. The compounds also potently inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells expressing high levels of DDR1 and strongly suppressed cancer cell invasion, adhesion, and tumorigenicity. Preliminary pharmacokinetic studies suggested that they possessed good PK profiles, with oral bioavailabilities of 67.4% and 56.2%, respectively.
Identification of GZD824 as an Orally Bioavailable Inhibitor That Targets Phosphorylated and Nonphosphorylated Breakpoint Cluster Region–Abelson (Bcr-Abl) Kinase and Overcomes Clinically Acquired Mutation-Induced Resistance against Imatinib
Bcr-Abl(T315)I mutation-induced imatinib resistance remains a major challenge for clinical management of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Herein, we report GZD824 (10a) as a novel orally bioavailable inhibitor against a broad spectrum of Bcr-Abl mutants including T315I. It tightly bound to Bcr-Abl(WT) and Bcr-Abl(T315I) with K-d values of 0.32 and 0.71 nM, respectively, and strongly inhibited the kinase functions with nanomolar IC50 values. The compound potently suppressed proliferation of Bcr-Abl-positive K562 and Ku812 human CML cells with IC50 values of 0.2 and 0.13 nM, respectively. It also displayed good oral bioavailability (48.7%), a reasonable half-life (10.6 h), and promising in vivo antitumor efficacy. It induced tumor regression in mouse xenograft tumor models driven by Bcr-Abl(WT) or the mutants and significantly improved the survival of mice bearing an allograft leukemia model with Ba/F3 cells harboring Bcr-Abl(T315I). GZD824 represents a promising lead candidate for development of Bcr-Abl inhibitors to overcome acquired imatinib resistance.
