Abstract
The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is abnormally expressed and hyperactivated in a number of tumors and represents an ideal therapeutic target. Despite excellent clinical responses to ALK inhibition, drug resistance still represents an issue and novel compounds that overcome drug-resistant mutants are needed. We designed, synthesized, and evaluated a large series of azacarbazole inhibitors. Several lead compounds endowed with submicromolar potency were identified. Compound 149 showed selective inhibition of native and mutant drug-refractory ALK kinase in vitro as well as in a Ba/F3 model and in human ALK+ lymphoma cells. The three-dimensional (3D) structure of a 149:ALK-KD cocrystal is reported, showing extensive interaction through the hinge region and the catalytic lysine 1150.

Dibenzofuran Derivatives Inspired from Cercosporamide as Dual Inhibitors of Pim and CLK1 Kinases. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26216572. [PMID: 34770981 PMCID: PMC8587151 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26216572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2021] [Revised: 10/25/2021] [Accepted: 10/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Pim kinases (proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus kinases) are overexpressed in various types of hematological malignancies and solid carcinomas, and promote cell proliferation and survival. Thus, Pim kinases are validated as targets for antitumor therapy. In this context, our combined efforts in natural product-inspired library generation and screening furnished very promising dibenzo[b,d]furan derivatives derived from cercosporamide. Among them, lead compound 44 was highlighted as a potent Pim-1/2 kinases inhibitor with an additional nanomolar IC50 value against CLK1 (cdc2-like kinases 1) and displayed a low micromolar anticancer potency towards the MV4-11 (AML) cell line, expressing high endogenous levels of Pim-1/2 kinases. The design, synthesis, structure-activity relationship, and docking studies are reported herein and supported by enzyme, cellular assays, and Galleria mellonella larvae testing for acute toxicity.

Abstract
A series of bisbenzofuro[2,3- b:3',2'- e]pyridines (BBZFPys) bearing a chlorine functionality have been efficiently synthesized through a Pd-catalyzed double oxidative intramolecular C-H/C-H coupling of monochlorinated 2,6-diaryloxypyridines. The subsequent Buchwald-Hartwig amination of the chlorinated BBZFPys allowed for the access to a new class of donor-acceptor (D-A) π-conjugated compounds that comprise BBZFPy as an electron acceptor (A) and diarylamines as a donor (D) unit. The investigation of the steady-state photophysical properties of the prepared D-A compounds revealed that they are emissive in both solution and solid states in the blue-to-green color region. The singlet-triplet energy splitting (Δ EST) was found to be much smaller than that of substituent-free BBZFPy (0.70 eV), ranging from 0.01 to 0.56 eV. The time-resolved spectroscopy revealed that the D-A compounds, comprising a bis( tert-butyl)carbazole as the D and CF3-attached BBZFPy as the A, showed delayed fluorescence (DF) in nonpolar matrix host material (Zeonex), while in a polar matrix (DPEPO), room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) was faintly observed. Furthermore, organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated with the D-A compounds as a blue emitter showed a moderate external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) up to 1.5%.

Abstract
Intramolecular inverse electron demand cycloadditions of isatin-derived 1,2,4-triazines with acetylenic dienophiles tethered by amidations or transesterifications proceed in excellent yields to produce lactam- or lactone-fused α-carbolines. Beginning with various isatins and alkynyl dienophiles, a pilot-scale library of eighty-eight α-carbolines was prepared by using this robust methodology for biological evaluation.

Identification of potent EGFR inhibitors from TCM Database@Taiwan. PLoS Comput Biol 2011; 7:e1002189.

Abstract
Overexpression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been associated with cancer. Targeted inhibition of the EGFR pathway has been shown to limit proliferation of cancerous cells. Hence, we employed Traditional Chinese Medicine Database (TCM Database@Taiwan) (http://tcm.cmu.edu.tw) to identify potential EGFR inhibitor. Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA), and Comparative Molecular Similarities Indices Analysis (CoMSIA) models were generated using a training set of EGFR ligands of known inhibitory activities. The top four TCM candidates based on DockScore were 2-O-caffeoyl tartaric acid, Emitine, Rosmaricine, and 2-O-feruloyl tartaric acid, and all had higher binding affinities than the control Iressa®. The TCM candidates had interactions with Asp855, Lys716, and Lys728, all which are residues of the protein kinase binding site. Validated MLR (r² = 0.7858) and SVM (r² = 0.8754) models predicted good bioactivity for the TCM candidates. In addition, the TCM candidates contoured well to the 3D-Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (3D-QSAR) map derived from the CoMFA (q² = 0.721, r² = 0.986) and CoMSIA (q² = 0.662, r² = 0.988) models. The steric field, hydrophobic field, and H-bond of the 3D-QSAR map were well matched by each TCM candidate. Molecular docking indicated that all TCM candidates formed H-bonds within the EGFR protein kinase domain. Based on the different structures, H-bonds were formed at either Asp855 or Lys716/Lys728. The compounds remained stable throughout molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Based on the results of this study, 2-O-caffeoyl tartaric acid, Emitine, Rosmaricine, and 2-O-feruloyl tartaric acid are suggested to be potential EGFR inhibitors.

Abstract
Polypharmacology-based strategies are gaining increased attention as a novel approach to obtaining potentially innovative medicines for multifactorial diseases. However, some within the pharmaceutical community have resisted these strategies because they can be resource-hungry in the early stages of the drug discovery process. Here, we report on fragment-based and computational methods that might accelerate and optimize the discovery of multitarget drugs. In particular, we illustrate that fragment-based approaches can be particularly suited for polypharmacology, owing to the inherent promiscuous nature of fragments. In parallel, we explain how computer-assisted protocols can provide invaluable insights into how to unveil compounds theoretically able to bind to more than one protein. Furthermore, several pragmatic aspects related to the use of these approaches are covered, thus offering the reader practical insights on multitarget-oriented drug discovery projects.
