- A highly potent CDK4/6 inhibitor was rationally designed to overcome blood brain barrier in gliobastoma therapy
-
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest of malignant brain tumors in adults. Disease development is associated with dysregulation of the cyclin D-CDK4/6-INK4-Rb pathway, resulting in increased proliferation; thus, CDK4/6 kinase inhibitors are promising candidates for GBM treatment. The recently developed CDK4/6 inhibitors, palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib, are effective in subcutaneous glioma models, but their blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability is poor, limiting drug delivery to the central nervous system. Here, we designed and synthesized a series of novel CDK4/6 inhibitors with favorable BBB permeability for the treatment of GBM. Compound 11 exhibited a favorable pharmacological profile and significant penetration of the BBB with the Kp value of 4.10 and the Kp,uu value of 0.23 in mice after an oral dose of 10 mg/kg. IC50 values for CDK4/cyclin D1 and CDK6/cyclin D3 were 3 nM and 1 nM, respectively. In vivo studies with an orthotopic xenograft mouse model of GBM showed that 11 had tumor growth inhibition values ranging from 62% to 99% for doses ranging from 3.125 to 50 mg/kg, and no significant body weight loss was observed. The increase in life span based on the median survival time of vehicle-treated animals in mice administered a dose of 50 mg/kg was significant at 162% (p 0.0001). These results suggest that compound 11 is a promising candidate for further investigation as an effective drug for the treatment of GBM.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of 6-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives as novel dual FLT3/CDK4 inhibitors
-
FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors have been proven to play a significant role in tumor therapy. Herein, based on the previously reported JAK2/FLT3 inhibitor 18e, we described the synthesis, structure–activity relationship and biological evaluation of a series of unique 6-(pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-b]pyridine derivatives that inhibited FLT3 and CDK4 kinases. The optimized compound 23k exhibited low nanomolar range activities with IC50 values of 11 and 7 nM for FLT3 and CDK4, respectively. In the MV4-11 xenograft tumor model, the tumor growth inhibition rate of 23k dosed at 200 mg/kg was 67%, suggesting that 23k possessed an antitumor therapeutic effect.

- Discovery and in Vivo Anti-inflammatory Activity Evaluation of a Novel Non-peptidyl Non-covalent Cathepsin C Inhibitor
-
Cathepsin C (Cat C) participates in inflammation and immune regulation by affecting the activation of neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs). Therefore, cathepsin C is an attractive target for treatment of NSP-related inflammatory diseases. Here, the complete discovery process of the first potent "non-peptidyl non-covalent cathepsin C inhibitor"was described with hit finding, structure optimization, and lead discovery. Starting with hit 14, structure-based optimization and structure-activity relationship study were comprehensively carried out, and lead compound 54 was discovered as a potent drug-like cathepsin C inhibitor both in vivo and in vitro. Also, compound 54 (with cathepsin C Enz IC50 = 57.4 nM) exhibited effective anti-inflammatory activity in an animal model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. These results confirmed that the non-peptidyl and non-covalent derivative could be used as an effective cathepsin C inhibitor and encouraged us to continue further drug discovery on the basis of this finding.

- Discovery and SARs of 5-Chloro- N4-phenyl- N2-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidine-2,4-diamine Derivatives as Oral Available and Dual CDK 6 and 9 Inhibitors with Potent Antitumor Activity
-
Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are promising therapeutic targets for cancer therapy. Herein, we describe our efforts toward the discovery of a series of 5-chloro-N4-phenyl-N2-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidine-2,4-diamine derivatives as dual CDK6 and 9 inhibitors. Intensive structural modifications lead to the identification of compound 66 as the most active dual CDK6/9 inhibitor with balancing potency against these two targets and good selectivity over CDK2. Further biological studies revealed that compound 66 was directly bound to CDK6/9, resulting in suppression of their downstream signaling pathway and inhibition of cell proliferation by blocking cell cycle progression and inducing cellular apoptosis. More importantly, compound 66 significantly inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model with no obvious toxicity, indicating the promising therapeutic potential of CDK6/9 dual inhibitors for cancer treatment. Therefore, the above results are of great importance in the development of dual CDK6/9 inhibitors for cancer therapy.

- Discovery and pharmacological characterization of a novel series of highly selective inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 as anticancer agents
-
Background and Purpose: Cyclin D-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) are crucial regulators of the G1 to S phase transition of the cell cycle and are actively pursued as therapeutic targets in cancer. We sought to discover a novel series of orally bioavailable and highly selective small molecule inhibitors of CDK4/6. Experimental Approach: The discovery of pharmacological inhibitors and optimization for potency, selectivity and drug properties were achieved by iterative chemical synthesis, biochemical screening against a panel of kinases, cell-based assays measuring cellular viability, cell cycle distribution, induction of apoptosis and the level of retinoblastoma tumour suppressor protein (Rb) phosphorylation and E2 factor (E2F)-regulated gene expression and in vitro biopharmaceutical and in vivo pharmacokinetic profiling. Key Results: We discovered several lead compounds that displayed >1000-fold selectivity for CDK4/6 over other members of the CDK family. The lead compounds, 82, 91 and 95, potently inhibited the growth of cancer cells by inducing G1 arrest with a concomitant reduction in the phosphorylation of Rb at S780 and in E2F-regulated gene expression. With a remarkable selectivity for CDK4 over 369 human protein kinases, 91 was identified as a highly potent and orally bioavailable drug candidate. Conclusions and Implications: We have identified unique and new inhibitors of CDK4/6 as potential drug candidates. Compound 91 represents an ideal candidate for further development as targeted cancer therapy.

- Highly Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable 4-Thiazol-N-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine Cyclin-Dependent Kinases 4 and 6 Inhibitors as Anticancer Drug Candidates: Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation
-
Cyclin D dependent kinases (CDK4 and CDK6) regulate entry into S phase of the cell cycle and are validated targets for anticancer drug discovery. Herein we detail the discovery of a novel series of 4-thiazol-N-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrimidin-2-amine derivatives as highly potent and selective inhibitors of CDK4 and CDK6. Medicinal chemistry optimization resulted in 83, an orally bioavailable inhibitor molecule with remarkable selectivity. Repeated oral administration of 83 caused marked inhibition of tumor growth in MV4-11 acute myeloid leukemia mouse xenografts without having a negative effect on body weight and showing any sign of clinical toxicity. The data merit 83 as a clinical development candidate.

-
Structure-based drug design was used to guide the optimization of a series of selective BTK inhibitors as potential treatments for Rheumatoid arthritis. Highlights include the introduction of a benzyl alcohol group and a fluorine substitution, each of which resulted in over 10-fold increase in activity. Concurrent optimization of drug-like properties led to compound 1 (RN486) (J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 2012, 341, 90), which was selected for advanced preclinical characterization based on its favorable properties.
