Zhang Q, Wen C, Zhao L, Wang Y. A Comprehensive Review of Small-Molecule Inhibitors Targeting Bruton Tyrosine Kinase: Synthetic Approaches and Clinical Applications. Molecules 2023; 28:8037. [PMID: 38138527 PMCID: PMC10746017 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28248037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an essential enzyme in the signaling pathway of the B-cell receptor (BCR) and is vital for the growth and activation of B-cells. Dysfunction of BTK has been linked to different types of B-cell cancers, autoimmune conditions, and inflammatory ailments. Therefore, focusing on BTK has become a hopeful approach in the field of therapeutics. Small-molecule inhibitors of BTK have been developed to selectively inhibit its activity and disrupt B-cell signaling pathways. These inhibitors bind to the active site of BTK and prevent its phosphorylation, leading to the inhibition of downstream signaling cascades. Regulatory authorities have granted approval to treat B-cell malignancies, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), with multiple small-molecule BTK inhibitors. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of the synthesis and clinical application of conventional small-molecule BTK inhibitors at various clinical stages, as well as presents promising prospects for the advancement of new small-molecule BTK inhibitors.

Abstract
Proteasome inhibitors (PIs) have long been used in myeloma therapy but also for Waldenström macroglobulinemia. Their use has been successful and has also been investigated for the frontline management of the disease. Bortezomib was effective either as a single agent or in combination with other regimens with high response rates observed in most studies, despite its adverse effects, especially neurotoxicity, which remains a major concern. Clinical trials with second-generation PIs such as carfilzomib and ixazomib have also been conducted, always in combination with immunotherapy in previously untreated patients. They have been shown to be active and neuropathy-sparing treatment options.

Abstract
The impairment of antibody-mediated immunity is a major factor associated with fatal cases of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS). By collating the clinical diagnosis reports of 30 SFTS cases, we discovered the overproliferation of monoclonal plasma cells (MCP cells, CD38+cLambda+cKappa-) in bone marrow, which has only been reported previously in multiple myeloma. The ratio of CD38+cLambda+ versus CD38+cKappa+ in SFTS cases with MCP cells was significantly higher than that in normal cases. MCP cells presented transient expression in the bone marrow, which was distinctly different from multiple myeloma. Moreover, the SFTS patients with MCP cells had higher clinical severity. Further, the overproliferation of MCP cells was also observed in SFTS virus (SFTSV)-infected mice with lethal infectious doses. Together, SFTSV infection induces transient overproliferation of monoclonal lambda-type plasma cells, which have important implications for the study of SFTSV pathogenesis, prognosis, and the rational development of therapeutics.

Abstract
Despite significant efficacy, one of the major limitations of small-molecule Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) agents is the presence of clinically acquired resistance, which remains a major clinical challenge. This Perspective focuses on medicinal chemistry strategies for the development of BTK small-molecule inhibitors against resistance, including the structure-based design of BTK inhibitors targeting point mutations, e.g., (i) developing noncovalent inhibitors from covalent inhibitors, (ii) avoiding steric hindrance from mutated residues, (iii) making interactions with the mutated residue, (iv) modifying the solvent-accessible region, and (v) developing new scaffolds. Additionally, a comparative analysis of multi-inhibitions of BTK is presented based on cross-comparisons between 2916 unique BTK ligands and 283 other kinases that cover 7108 dual/multiple inhibitions. Finally, targeting the BTK allosteric site and uding proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) as two potential strategies are addressed briefly, while also illustrating the possibilities and challenges to find novel ligands of BTK.

Abstract
Waldenström macroglobulinemia/lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma (WM/LPL) is a rare lymphoproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonally related lymphocytes, lymphoplasmacytic cells, and plasma cell proliferation. WM/LPL patients commonly present with elevated immunoglobulin, predominantly immunoglobulin M (IgM). Previous studies reported that thyroid dysfunction was associated with the development and progression of solid tumors. However, only limited information is available on the correlation between thyroid complications and lymphoid malignancies. The aim of our study was to explore the prognostic significance of thyroid complications in WM/LPL. Herein, 13.3% of WM/LPL patients were diagnosed with thyroid complications, which were significantly associated with unfavorable progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse treatment response. Co-existing thyroid disease was significantly related to alleviated serum IgM levels, providing an answer to practical problems. Furthermore, the presence of thyroid complications was identified as an independent prognostic indicator for PFS in WM/LPL. Incorporating the ISSWM score with thyroid complications was superior to ISSWM alone in risk stratification and prognostic prediction. Furthermore, subgroup analyses of WM/LPL patients revealed that subclinical hypothyroidism predicted undesirable outcomes at the early stage. These results were also supported by independent microarray dataset analyses. In conclusion, the primary strength of this study is that it provides robust real-world evidence on the prognostic role of thyroid complications, highlighting further clinical concerns in the management of WM/LPL patients.

Abstract
Imaging plays a vital role in the diagnosis, response assessment, and follow-up of patients with plasma cell bone disease. The radiologic diagnostic paradigm has thus far evolved with developing technology and availability of better imaging platforms; however, the skewed availability of these imaging modalities in developed vis-à-vis the developing countries along with the lack of uniformity in reporting has led to a consensus on the imaging criteria for diagnosing and response assessment in plasma cell dyscrasia. Therefore, it is imperative for not only the radiologists but also the treating oncologist to be aware of the criteria and appropriate imaging modality to be used in accordance with the clinical question. The review will allow the treating oncologist to answer the following questions on the diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive abilities of various imaging modalities for plasma cell dyscrasia: a) What lesions can look like multiple myeloma (MM) but are not?; b) Does the patient have MM? To diagnose MM in a high-risk SMM patient with clinical suspicion, which modality should be used and why?; c) Is the patient responding to therapy on follow-up imaging once treatment is initiated?; d) To interpret commonly seen complications post-therapy, when is it a disease and when is the expected sequel to treatment? Fractures, red marrow reconversion?; and e) When is the appropriate time to flag a patient for further workup when interpreting MRI spine done for back pain in the elderly? How do we differentiate between commonly seen osteoporosis-related degenerative spine versus marrow infiltrative disorder?

Abstract
Malignant tumors have become a significant public health problem that severely threatens human health. Drug-targeting therapy is essential for tumor therapy, along with surgery and radiotherapy. Of the 378 novel drugs approved over the past five years, those for oncological therapy remains at the top (25%). These drugs are used to treat patients with various cancers by acting on corresponding targets, such as EGFR, JAK, BTK, IDH, and FLT3. This review examines anti-tumor agents approved between 2016 and 2020, classifying them according to indication (such as lung cancer, leukemia, breast cancer, and myeloma). These drugs are reviewed according to their route of administration, first-in-class designation, approval dates, and expedited review categories. Furthermore, this paper summarizes the targets and modes of action of the approved anti-tumor drugs while systematically discussing their synthetic routes for medicinal chemistry or industrial use, which will benefit next-generation drug discovery.

CANOMAD: a neurological monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance that benefits from B-cell-targeted therapies. Blood 2021; 136:2428-2436.

Abstract
CANOMAD (chronic ataxic neuropathy, ophthalmoplegia, immunoglobulin M [IgM] paraprotein, cold agglutinins, and disialosyl antibodies) is a rare syndrome characterized by chronic neuropathy with sensory ataxia, ocular, and/or bulbar motor weakness in the presence of a monoclonal IgM reacting against gangliosides containing disialosyl epitopes. Data regarding associated hematologic malignancies and effective therapies in CANOMAD are scarce. We conducted a French multicenter retrospective study that included 45 patients with serum IgM antibodies reacting against disialosyl epitopes in the context of evocating neurologic symptoms. The main clinical features were sensitive symptoms (ataxia, paresthesia, hypoesthesia; n = 45, 100%), motor weakness (n = 18, 40%), ophthalmoplegia (n = 20, 45%), and bulbar symptoms (n = 6, 13%). Forty-five percent of the cohort had moderate to severe disability (modified Rankin score, 3-5). Cold agglutinins were identified in 15 (34%) patients. Electrophysiologic studies showed a demyelinating or axonal pattern in, respectively, 60% and 27% of cases. All patients had serum monoclonal IgM gammopathy (median, 2.6 g/L; range, 0.1-40 g/L). Overt hematologic malignancies were diagnosed in 16 patients (36%), with the most frequent being Waldenström macroglobulinemia (n = 9, 20%). Forty-one patients (91%) required treatment of CANOMAD. Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) and rituximab-based regimens were the most effective therapies with, respectively, 53% and 52% of partial or better clinical responses. Corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs were largely ineffective. Although more studies are warranted to better define the optimal therapeutic sequence, IVIg should be proposed as the standard of care for first-line treatment and rituximab-based regimens for second-line treatment. These compiled data argue for CANOMAD to be included in neurologic monoclonal gammopathy of clinical significance.

[PMID: 33613931 PMCID: PMC7874350 DOI: 10.1177/2040620721989586] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
The current therapeutic approach in Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) is being driven by insights in disease biology and genomic landscape. Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) plays a key role in signaling pathways for the survival of WM clone. BTK inhibition has changed the treatment landscape of the disease. Ibrutinib has resulted in deep and durable responses both as an upfront and salvage treatment with a manageable toxicity profile. However, the need for fewer off-target effects and deeper responses has resulted in the clinical development of second-generation BTK inhibitors. Zanubrutinib has resulted in clinically meaningful antitumor activity, including deep and durable responses, with a low discontinuation rate due to treatment-related toxicities. Cardiovascular adverse events seem to be milder compared with ibrutinib. Interestingly, the efficacy of zanubrutinib in WM is significant both for MYD88L265P and MYD88WT patients. Although the randomized, phase III ASPEN clinical trial did not meet its primary endpoint in terms of showing a superiority of zanubrutinib in deep responses compared with ibrutinib, secondary efficacy and safety endpoints underscore the potential clinical role of zanubrutinib in the treatment algorithm of WM independent of the MYD88 mutational status. Combination regimens and non-covalent BTK inhibitors are emerging as promising treatment strategies. Long-term data will determine whether next-generation BTK inhibitors are more potent and safer compared with ibrutinib, and whether they are able to overcome resistance to ibrutinib, either alone or in combination with inhibitors of other interrelated molecular pathways.

Abstract
Background:
The therapeutic outcomes and the prognosis of patients with various hematologic
malignancies are not always ideal with the current standard of care.
Objective:
The aim of this study is to analyze the results of the use of monoclonal antibodies, bispecific
antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates for the therapy of malignant hemopathies.
Methods:
A mini-review was achieved using the articles published in Web of Science and PubMed
between January 2017 and January 2020 and the new patents were made in this field.
Results:
Naked monoclonal antibodies have improved the therapeutic results obtained with standard
of care, but they also have side effects and the use of some of them can lead to the loss of the
target antigen through trogocytosis, which explains the resistance that occurs during therapy. The
results obtained with naked monoclonal antibodies have been improved by a better monoclonal
antibody preparation, the use of bispecific antibodies (against two antigens on the target cell surface
or by binding both surface antigen on target cells and T-cell receptor complex, followed by cytotoxic
T-lymphocytes activation and subsequent cytolysis of the target cell), the use of monoclonal
or bispecific constructs in frontline regimens, combining immunotherapy with chemotherapy, including
through the use of antibody-drug conjugates (which provides a targeted release of a chemotherapeutic
agent).
Conclusion:
Immunotherapy and immuno-chemotherapy have improved the outcome of the patients
with malignant hemopathies through a targeted, personalized therapy, with reduced systemic
toxicity, which in some cases can even induce deep complete remissions, including minimal residual
disease negativity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent advances the genomic profiling of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) have led to the identification of novel therapeutic targets in these patients. In this review, we cover the current standard of care and the recently evaluated novel approaches with high potential to be incorporated in the therapeutic armamentarium against WM. RECENT FINDINGS The MYD88L265P mutation is the most common genomic abnormality in WM, and is encountered in 80-95% of patients, making it an important target for drug development. The success of the first-generation Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, ibrutinib, has generated tremendous interest in the study of more selective and potent BTK inhibitors. Additionally, the identification of CXCR4WHIM mutations in up to approximately 40% of patients with WM has fueled research regarding their implication on systemic therapy in WM. In a rapidly advancing field of targeted therapies, the treatment options for patients with WM are expanding as researchers continue to uncover and harness the survival pathways active in this hematologic malignancy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM) is an IgM-producing lymphoproliferative disorder that remains incurable. Patients with high-risk disease have an overall survival (OS) of less than 3 years. Both autologous (AHCT) and allogeneic (allo-HCT) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are prescribed for treatment of WM despite a lack of randomized controlled studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a comprehensive literature search using PubMed/Medline and EMBASE on September 10, 2019. Data on clinical outcomes related to benefits and harms was extracted independently by 3 authors. Fifteen studies (8 AHCT [n = 278 patients], 7 allo-HCT [n = 311 patients]) were included in this systematic review/meta-analysis. RESULTS Pooled OS, progression-free survival (PFS), and nonrelapse mortality (NRM) rates post AHCT were 76% (95% confidence interval [CI], 65%-86%), 55% (95% CI, 42%-68%), and 4% (95% CI, 1%-7%), respectively. Pooled OS, PFS, and NRM rates post allografting were 57% (95% CI, 50%-65%), 49% (95% CI, 42%-56%), and 29% (95% CI, 23%-34%), respectively. OS and PFS rates were reported at 3 to 5 years, and NRM was reported at 1 year in most studies. Pooled ORR (at day 100) post AHCT and allo-HCT were 85% (95% CI, 72%-94%) and 81% (95% CI, 69%-91%), respectively. Pooled complete response rates post AHCT and allo-HCT were 22% (95% CI, 17%-28%) and 26% (95% CI, 7%-50%), respectively. Relapse rates post AHCT and allo-HCT were 42% (95% CI, 30%-55%) and 23% (95% CI, 18%-28%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that both AHCT and allo-HCT are effective in the treatment of WM. A 2-fold lower relapse rate but a 7-fold higher NRM was noted for allo-HCT compared with AHCT. The role of transplant in WM needs to be addressed in the era of novel agents.

New Insights on the Emerging Genomic Landscape of CXCR4 in Cancer: A Lesson from WHIM. Vaccines (Basel) 2020; 8:vaccines8020164.

Abstract
Deciphering the molecular alterations leading to disease initiation and progression is currently crucial to identify the most relevant targets for precision therapy in cancer patients. Cancers express a complex chemokine network influencing leucocyte infiltration and angiogenesis. Moreover, malignant cells also express a selective repertoire of chemokine receptors that sustain their growth and spread. At present, different cancer types have been shown to overexpress C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) and to respond to its ligand C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12). The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis influences cancer biology, promoting survival, proliferation, and angiogenesis, and plays a pivotal role in directing migration of cancer cells to sites of metastases, making it a prognostic marker and a therapeutic target. More recently, mutations in the C-terminus of CXCR4 have been identified in the genomic landscape of patients affected by Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, a rare B cell neoplasm. These mutations closely resemble those occurring in Warts, Hypogammaglobulinemia, Immunodeficiency, and Myelokathexis (WHIM) syndrome, an immunodeficiency associated with CXCR4 aberrant expression and activity and with chemotherapy resistance in clinical trials. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the relevance of CXCR4 mutations in cancer biology, focusing on its importance as predictors of clinical presentation and response to therapy.
