- Self-interrupted synthesis of sterically hindered aliphatic polyamide dendrimers
-
2,2-Bis(azidomethyl)propionic acid was prepared in four steps and 85% yield from the commercially available 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid and used as the starting building block for the divergent, convergent, and double-stage convergent-divergent iterative methods for the synthesis of dendrimers and dendrons containing ethylenediamine (EDA), piperazine (PPZ), and methyl 2,2- bis(aminomethyl)propionate (COOMe) cores. These cores have the same multiplicity but different conformations. A diversity of synthetic methods were used for the synthesis of dendrimers and dendrons. Regardless of the method used, a self-interruption of the synthesis was observed at generation 4 for the dendrimer with an EDA core and at generation 5 for the one with a PPZ core, whereas for the COOMe core, self-interruption was observed at generation 6 dendron, which is equivalent to generation 5 dendrimer. Molecular modeling and molecular-dynamics simulations demonstrated that the observed self-interruption is determined by the backfolding of the azide groups at the periphery of the dendrimer. The latter conformation inhibits completely the heterogeneous hydrogenation of the azide groups catalyzed by 10% Pd/carbon as well as homogeneous hydrogenation by the Staudinger method. These self-terminated polyamide dendrimers are enzymatically and hydrolytically stable and also exhibit antimicrobial activity. Thus, these nanoscale constructs open avenues for biomedical applications.

- Identification of 1-(3-(6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4-yloxy)phenyl)-3-(5-(1,1, 1-trifluoro-2-methylpropan-2-yl)isoxazol-3-yl)urea hydrochloride (CEP-32496), a highly potent and orally efficacious inhibitor of V-RAF murine sarcoma viral oncogene homologue B1 (BRAF) V600E
-
The Ras/RAF/MEK/ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway plays a central role in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Expression of mutant BRAFV600E results in constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway, which can lead to uncontrolled cellular growth. Herein, we describe an SAR optimization campaign around a series of quinazoline derived BRAFV600E inhibitors. In particular, the bioisosteric replacement of a metabolically sensitive tert-butyl group with fluorinated alkyl moieties is described. This effort led directly to the identification of a clinical candidate, compound 40 (CEP-32496). Compound 40 exhibits high potency against several BRAFV600E-dependent cell lines and selective cytotoxicity for tumor cell lines expressing mutant BRAFV600E versus those containing wild-type BRAF. Compound 40 also exhibits an excellent PK profile across multiple preclinical species. In addition, significant oral efficacy was observed in a 14-day BRAFV600E-dependent human Colo-205 tumor xenograft mouse model, upon dosing at 30 and 100 mg/kg BID.

- Studies toward novel peptidomimetic inhibitors of thioredoxin-thioredoxin reductase system
-
Thioredoxins (Trx) are ubiquitous multifunctional low-molecular weight proteins that together with thioredoxin reductases (TrxR) participate in the maintenance of protein thiol homeostasis in NADPH-dependent reactions. An increasing number of data reveal that the Trx-TrxR system is an attractive target for anticancer therapies. In this work, we have elaborated a new and simple synthetic approach employing Ugi reaction to synthesize several new inhibitors of this system. The influence of various electrophilic fragments of this new class of compounds on the inhibition of the Trx-TrxR system was evaluated. As a result, a new compound 19a (SK053), which inhibits the activity of the Trx-TrxR system and exhibits antitumor activity, was obtained. Biologic analyses revealed that 19a inhibits induction of NF-κB and AP-1 and decreases H2O2 scavenging capacity in tumor cells. Altogether, we show that 19a is a novel potential antitumor peptidomimetic inhibitor that can be used as a starting compound for further optimization.
