Abstract
A photoinduced EnT-mediated generation of sulfonamidyl radicals has been accomplished using rationally designed iminophenylacetic acid oxime ester reagents under metal-free conditions. This approach offers a mild, regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of N-sulfonyl diamines via diamination of alkenes and (hetero)arenes.

Abstract
In 1984, Japanese researchers led by the biochemist Hiroyoshi Hidaka described the first synthetic protein kinase inhibitors based on an isoquinoline sulfonamide structure (Hidaka et al. Biochemistry, 1984 Oct 9; 23(21): 5036-41. doi: 10.1021/bi00316a032). These led to the first protein kinase inhibitor approved for medical use (fasudil), an inhibitor of the AGC subfamily Rho kinase. With potencies strong enough to compete against endogenous ATP, the isoquinoline compounds established the druggability of the ATP binding site. Crystal structures of their protein kinase complexes, including with cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), showed interactions that, on the one hand, could mimic ATP but, on the other hand, could be optimized for high potency binding, kinase selectivity, and diversification away from adenosine. They also showed the flexibility of the glycine-rich loop, and PKA became a major prototype for crystallographic and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of protein kinase mechanism and dynamic activity control. Since fasudil, more than 70 kinase inhibitors have been approved for clinical use, involving efforts that progressively have introduced new paradigms of data-driven drug discovery. Publicly available data alone comprise over 5000 protein kinase crystal structures and hundreds of thousands of binding data. Now, new methods, including artificial intelligence techniques and expansion of protein kinase targeting approaches, together with the expiration of patent protection for optimized inhibitor scaffolds, promise even greater advances in drug discovery. Looking back to the time of the first isoquinoline hinge binders brings the current state-of-the-art into stark contrast. Appropriately for this Perspective article, many of the milestone papers during this time were published in Biochemistry (now ACS Biochemistry).

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers accounting for the highest number of cancer-related deaths in the world. Despite significant progress including targeted therapies and immunotherapy, the treatment of advanced lung cancer remains challenging. Targeted therapies are highly efficacious at prolonging life, but not curative. In prior work we have identified Ubiquitin Specific Protease 13 (USP13) as a potential target to significantly enhance the efficacy of mutant EGFR inhibition. The current study aimed to develop lead molecules for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by developing potent USP13 inhibitors initially starting from Spautin-1, the only available USP13 inhibitor. A SAR study was performed which revealed that increasing the chain length between the secondary amine and phenyl group and introducing a halogen capable of inducing a halogen bond at position 4' of the phenyl group, dramatically increased the activity. However, we could not confirm the binding between Spautin-1 (or its analogues) and USP13 using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) or thermal shift assay (TSA) but do not exclude binding under physiological conditions. Nevertheless, we found that the anti-proliferative activity displayed by Spautin-1 towards EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells in vitro was at least partially associated with kinase inhibition. In this work, we present N-[2-(substituted-phenyl)ethyl]-6-fluoro-4-quinazolinamines as promising lead compounds for the treatment of NSCLC. These analogues are significantly more effective towards EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells than Spautin-1 and act as potent never in mitosis A related kinase 4 (NEK4) inhibitors (IC50~1 µM) with moderate selectivity over other kinases.

Abstract
The stereoselective transformation of α-alkoxyacetoaldehydes to the corresponding (Z)-vinyl triflates was achieved by treatment with phenyl triflimide and DBU. The stereochemistry was explained by the "syn-effect," which was attributed primarily to an σ → π* interaction. The β-alkoxy vinyl triflates obtained were applied to the stereoselective synthesis of structurally diverse (Z)-allylic alcohols via transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction and [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement.

Abstract
With the success of protein kinase inhibitors as drugs to target cancer, there is a continued need for new kinase inhibitor scaffolds. We have investigated the synthesis and kinase inhibition of new heteroaryl-substituted diazaspirocyclic compounds that mimic ATP. Versatile syntheses of substituted diazaspirocycles through ring-closing metathesis were demonstrated. Diazaspirocycles directly linked to heteroaromatic hinge binder groups provided ligand efficient inhibitors of multiple kinases, suitable as starting points for further optimization. The binding modes of representative diazaspirocyclic motifs were confirmed by protein crystallography. Selectivity profiles were influenced by the hinge binder group and the interactions of basic nitrogen atoms in the scaffold with acidic side-chains of residues in the ATP pocket. The introduction of more complex substitution to the diazaspirocycles increased potency and varied the selectivity profiles of these initial hits through engagement of the P-loop and changes to the spirocycle conformation, demonstrating the potential of these core scaffolds for future application to kinase inhibitor discovery.

Abstract
With its ability to show the interactions between drug-target proteins and small-molecule ligands, X-ray crystallography is an essential tool in drug-discovery programmes. However, its usefulness can be limited by crystallization artifacts or by the data resolution, and in particular when assumptions of unimodal binding (and isotropic motion) do not apply. Discrepancies between the modelled crystal structure and the physiological range of structures generally prevent quantitative estimation of binding energies. Improved crystal structure resolution will often not aid energy estimation because the conditions which provide the highest rigidity and resolution are not likely to reflect physiological conditions. Instead, strategies must be employed to measure and model flexibility and multiple binding modes to supplement crystallographic information. One useful tool is the use of anomalous dispersion for small molecules that contain suitable atoms. Here, an analysis of the binding of the kinase inhibitor H-89 to protein kinase A (PKA) is presented. H-89 contains a bromobenzene moiety that apparently binds with multiple conformations in the kinase ATP pocket. Using anomalous dispersion methods, it was possible to resolve these conformations into two distinct binding geometries.

Abstract
![]()
Quantum mechanical semiempirical comparative binding energy analysis calculations have been carried out for a series of protein kinase B (PKB) inhibitors derived from fragment- and structure-based drug design. These protein−ligand complexes were selected because they represent a consistent set of experimental data that includes both crystal structures and affinities. Seven scoring functions were evaluated based on both the PM3 and the AM1 Hamiltonians. The optimal models obtained by partial least-squares analysis of the aligned poses are predictive as measured by a number of standard statistical criteria and by validation with an external data set. An algorithm has been developed that provides residue-based contributions to the overall binding affinity. These residue-based binding contributions can be plotted in heat maps so as to highlight the most important residues for ligand binding. In the case of these PKB inhibitors, the maps show that Met166, Thr97, Gly43, Glu114, Ala116, and Val50, among other residues, play an important role in determining binding affinity. The interaction energy map makes it easy to identify the residues that have the largest absolute effect on ligand binding. The structure−activity relationship (SAR) map highlights residues that are most critical to discriminating between more and less potent ligands. Taken together the interaction energy and the SAR maps provide useful insights into drug design that would be difficult to garner in any other way.

Abstract
In general, the docking scoring tends to have a size dependence related to the ranking of compounds. In this paper, we describe a novel method of parameter optimization for docking scores which reduce the size dependence and can efficiently discriminate active compounds from chemical databases. This method is based on a simplified theoretical model of docking scores which enables us to utilize large amounts of data of known active and inactive compounds for a particular target without requiring large computational resources or a complicated procedure. This method is useful for making scoring functions for the identification of novel scaffolds using the knowledge of active compounds for a particular target or a customized scoring function for an interesting family of drug targets.

Abstract
![]()
Protein kinase B (PKB or Akt) is an important component of intracellular signaling pathways regulating growth and survival. Signaling through PKB is frequently deregulated in cancer, and inhibitors of PKB therefore have potential as antitumor agents. The optimization of lipophilic substitution within a series of 4-benzyl-1-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperidin-4-amines provided ATP-competitive, nanomolar inhibitors with up to 150-fold selectivity for inhibition of PKB over the closely related kinase PKA. Although active in cellular assays, compounds containing 4-amino-4-benzylpiperidines underwent metabolism in vivo, leading to rapid clearance and low oral bioavailability. Variation of the linker group between the piperidine and the lipophilic substituent identified 4-amino-1-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)piperidine-4-carboxamides as potent and orally bioavailable inhibitors of PKB. Representative compounds modulated biomarkers of signaling through PKB in vivo and strongly inhibited the growth of human tumor xenografts in nude mice at well-tolerated doses.

Abstract
2,3,5-Trisubstituted pyridines have been designed as potent AKT inhibitors that are selective against ROCK1 based on the comparison between AKT and ROCK1 structures. Substitution at the 2-position of the core pyridine is the key element to provide selectivity against ROCK1. An X-ray co-crystal structure of 9p in PKA supports the proposed rationale of ROCK1 selectivity.

Abstract
Overexpression of AKT has an antiapoptotic effect in many cell types, and expression of dominant negative AKT blocks the ability of a variety of growth factors to promote survival. Therefore, inhibitors of AKT kinase activity might be useful as monotherapy for the treatment of tumors with activated AKT. Herein, we describe our lead optimization studies culminating in the discovery of compound 3g (GSK690693). Compound 3g is a novel ATP competitive, pan-AKT kinase inhibitor with IC 50 values of 2, 13, and 9 nM against AKT1, 2, and 3, respectively. An X-ray cocrystal structure was solved with 3g and the kinase domain of AKT2, confirming that 3g bound in the ATP binding pocket. Compound 3g potently inhibits intracellular AKT activity as measured by the inhibition of the phosphorylation levels of GSK3beta. Intraperitoneal administration of 3g in immunocompromised mice results in the inhibition of GSK3beta phosphorylation and tumor growth in human breast carcinoma (BT474) xenografts.

Abstract
Inhibition of the protein kinase, MEK1, is a potential approach for the treatment of cancer. Inhibitors may act by prevention of activation (PoA), which involves interfering with phosphorylation of nonactivated MEK1 by the upstream kinase, B-RAF. Modulation also may occur by inhibition of catalysis (IoC) during phosphorylation of the downstream substrate, ERK2, by activated MEK1. Here, five MEK inhibitors are characterized in terms of binding affinity, PoA, and IoC. The compounds are a butadiene (U-0126), an N-alkoxy amide (CI-1040), two CI-1040 analogues (an anthranilic acid and an N-alkyl amide), and a cyanoquinoline. Some compounds give different mechanisms of inhibition (ATP-competitive, noncompetitive, or uncompetitive) in PoA compared to IoC or show a change in potency between the assays. The inhibitors also exhibit different shifts in potency when either PoA or IoC is compared with binding to nonactivated MEK. The inhibitor potency ranking, therefore, is dependent upon the assay format. When the ATP concentration equals K m, IoC IC 50 increases in the order CI-1040 approximately cyanoquinoline < anthranilic acid approximately U-0126 < alkyl amide. Conversely, the K d from nonactivated MEK1 for four of the compounds varies between more than 6-fold lower and over 18-fold higher than this IC 50, with U-0126 having the lowest K d and CI-1040 having the highest. In PoA when the ATP concentration equals K m, U-0126 has the lowest IC 50, becoming more potent than CI-1040, the cyanoquinoline, and the anthranilic acid. These observations have implications for understanding structure-activity relationships of MEK inhibitors and illustrate how assays can be designed to favor different compounds.

Abstract
Protein kinase A (PKA) is an important signal transduction target for drug development because it influences critical cellular processes implicated in neuropsychiatric illnesses such as major depressive disorder. The goal of the present study was to develop the first imaging agent for measuring the levels of PKA with positron emission tomography (PET). By rational derivatization of 5-isoquinoline sulfonamides, it was found that the introduction of a methyl group to the sulphonamidic nitrogen on the known PKA inhibitors N-(2-aminoethyl)isoquinoline-5-sulfonamide (H-9, 1) and N-(2-(4-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl)isoquinoline-5-sulfonamide (H-89, 2), (yielding N-(2-aminoethyl)-N-methyl-isoquinoline-5-sulfonamide (4) and N-(2-(4-bromocinnamylamino)ethyl)-N-methyl-isoquinoline-5-sulfonamide (5), respectively) does not appreciably reduce in vitro potency toward PKA. We have facilitated the synthesis of 4 by reacting isoquinoline-5-sulfonyl chloride with N-methylethylenediamine (20% yield). Several techniques were used to thoroughly characterize 4 including multi ((1)H, (13)C and (15)N) NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Compound 4 and 1-(4-bromophenyl)-1-propen-3-yl bromide were reacted to produce 5 in 16% yield. Compound 2 was reacted with [(11)C]CH(3)I to prepare N-(2-(4-bromocinnamylamino) ethyl)-N-[(11)C]methyl-isoquinoline-5-sulfonamide ([(11)C]5), with a decay-corrected radiochemical yield of 32%, based on [(11)C]CO(2). [(11)C]5 was produced with >98% radiochemical purity and 1130mCi/mumol specific activity after 40min (end of synthesis). Conscious rats were administered [(11)C] 5 and sacrificed at 5, 15, 30 and 60min after injection. Radioactivity from all excised brain regions was <0.2%ID/g at all time points. The modest brain penetration of [(11)C]5 may limit its use for studying PKA in the central nervous system.

Abstract
In an effort to improve therapeutic options in cancer, many investigational drugs are being developed to inhibit signaling pathways that promote the survival of cancer cells. The prototypic pathway that promotes cellular survival is the phosphoinositide 3'-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway, which is constitutively activated in many types of cancers. Mechanisms for activation of the serine/threonine kinase, Akt, include loss of tumor suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) function, amplification or mutation of phosphoinositide 3'-kinase, amplification of Akt, activation of growth factor receptors and exposure to carcinogens. Activation of Akt promotes cellular survival as well as resistance to treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Immunohistochemical analyses have shown that Akt is activated in many types of cancers and preneoplastic lesions, and Akt activation is a poor prognostic factor in various cancers. Taken together, these data demonstrate that Akt is a valid target for inhibition. This review will focus on published data using different approaches to inhibit Akt. We will also consider how the complex regulation of the phosphoinositide 3'-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway poses practical issues concerning the design of clinical trials, potential toxicities and the likelihood of finding a therapeutic index when targeting such a critical cellular pathway.

Abstract
Using fragment-based screening techniques, 5-methyl-4-phenyl-1H-pyrazole (IC50 80 microM) was identified as a novel, low molecular weight inhibitor of protein kinase B (PKB). Herein we describe the rapid elaboration of highly potent and ligand efficient analogues using a fragment growing approach. Iterative structure-based design was supported by protein-ligand structure determinations using a PKA-PKB "chimera" and a final protein-ligand structure of a lead compound in PKBbeta itself.

Abstract
6-phenylpurines were identified as novel, ATP-competitive inhibitors of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) from a fragment-based screen and were rapidly progressed to potent compounds using iterative protein-ligand crystallography with a PKA-PKB chimeric protein. An elaborated lead compound showed cell growth inhibition and effects on cellular signaling pathways characteristic of PKB inhibition.

Abstract
Although the crystal structure of the anti-cancer target protein kinase B (PKBbeta/Akt-2) has been useful in guiding inhibitor design, the closely related kinase PKA has generally been used as a structural mimic due to its facile crystallization with a range of ligands. The use of PKB-inhibitor crystallography would bring important benefits, including a more rigorous understanding of factors dictating PKA/PKB selectivity, and the opportunity to validate the utility of PKA-based surrogates. We present a "back-soaking" method for obtaining PKBbeta-ligand crystal structures, and provide a structural comparison of inhibitor binding to PKB, PKA, and PKA-PKB chimera. One inhibitor presented here exhibits no PKB/PKA selectivity, and the compound adopts a similar binding mode in all three systems. By contrast, the PKB-selective inhibitor A-443654 adopts a conformation in PKB and PKA-PKB that differs from that with PKA. We provide a structural explanation for this difference, and highlight the ability of PKA-PKB to mimic the true PKB binding mode in this case.

Abstract
Protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) has been identified as a promising cancer drug target downstream of PI3 kinase. To find novel inhibitors of PKB/AKT kinase activity for progression as anticancer agents, the authors have used a high-throughput screen based on AlphaScreen™ technology. A known kinase inhibitor, the isoquinoline H8, was used as a positive control with mean inhibition in the screen of 43.4% ± 13.1%. The performance of the screen was highly acceptable with Z′ and Z factors of 0.83 ± 0.07 and 0.75 ± 0.04, respectively. A number of confirmed hits (∼0.1% hit rate) were identified from 63,500 compounds screened. Five compounds have previously been described as PKB inhibitors, demonstrating the ability of the assay to find authentic inhibitors of the enzyme. Five hits had the potential to interfere with the assay signal and were deemed to be false positives. Two compounds were nonspecific inhibitors of PKB as enzyme inhibition in a filter-based assay was markedly reduced in the presence of 0.01% Triton X100. The authors now include an interference assay during hit confirmation procedures and check compound activity in the presence of Triton X100 in an attempt to eliminate nonspecific aggregators at an early stage.
