Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cancer are the top two leading causes of death globally. Vasodilators are commonly used to treat various CVDs. In cancer treatment, targeted anticancer agents have been developed to minimize side effects compared with traditional chemotherapy. Many hypertension patients are more prone to cancer, a case known as reverse cardio-oncology. This leads to the search for drugs with dual activity or repurposing strategy to discover new therapeutic uses for known drugs. Recently, medicinal chemists have shown great interest in synthesizing pyridazinone derivatives due to their significant biological activities in tackling these critical health challenges. This review will concentrate on pyridazin-3(2H)-one-containing compounds as vasodilators and anticancer agents, along with a brief overview of various methods for their synthesis.

Optimization of Novel Pyrido-pyridazinone Derivatives as FER Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors, Leading to the Potent DS08701581. ACS Med Chem Lett 2024; 15:1010-1016. [PMID: 39015278 PMCID: PMC11247628 DOI: 10.1021/acsmedchemlett.4c00030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Previously, we reported the new pyrido-pyridazinone template as a feline sarcoma-related (FER) tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Representative compound 1 (DS21360717) showed strong enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.5 nM), however, its antitumor effect was insufficient, probably due to poor solubility and resultant low bioavailability (BA). In addition, the kinase selectivity was inadequate, which may result in certain safety risks. Here, we focused on derivatization of the unoptimized C-5 position to obtain promising FER inhibitors possessing strong antitumor effects and improved selectivity, referring to their X-ray crystal structure and the docking model with FES proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase as an FER surrogate. While establishing the synthetic route of the pyrido-pyridazinone scaffold, we obtained a desired compound via our derivatization. Our optimized compound 17c (DS08701581) showed the highest class cell-free and cell activities in this template, good oral BA, and improved kinase selectivity, resulting in significant tumor growth inhibition in the Ba/F3-FER tumor model without body weight loss.

Development of the non-receptor tyrosine kinase FER-targeting PROTACs as a potential strategy for antagonizing ovarian cancer cell motility and invasiveness. J Biol Chem 2023:104825. [PMID: 37196766 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 04/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Aberrant overexpression of non-receptor tyrosine kinase FER has been reported in various ovarian carcinoma-derived tumor cells and is a poor prognosis factor for patient survival. It plays an essential role in tumor cell migration and invasion, acting concurrently in both kinase-dependent and -independent manners, which is not easily suppressed by conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Nevertheless, the proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) technology offers superior efficacy over traditional activity-based inhibitors by simultaneously targeting enzymatic and scaffold functions. Hence in this study, we report the development of two PROTAC compounds that promote robust FER degradation in a cereblon-dependent manner. Both PROTAC degraders outperform an FDA-approved drug, Brigatinib, in ovarian cancer cell motility suppression. Importantly, these PROTAC compounds also degrade multiple oncogenic FER fusion proteins identified in human tumor samples. These results lay an experimental foundation to apply the PROTAC strategy to antagonize cell motility and invasiveness in ovarian and other types of cancers with aberrant expression of FER kinase and highlight PROTACs as a superior strategy for targeting proteins with multiple tumor-promoting functions.

Abstract
Fer and its sperm and cancer specific variant, FerT, are non-receptor tyrosine kinases which play roles in cancer progression and metastasis. Recent studies have shed light on the regulatory role of these kinases in ensuring proper sperm function. Comparison of the regulatory cascades in which Fer and FerT are engaged in sperm and cancer cells presents an interesting picture, in which similar regulatory interactions of these enzymes are integrated in a similar or different regulatory context in the two cell types. These diverse compositions extend from the involvement of Fer in modulation of actin cytoskeleton integrity and function, to the unique regulatory interactions of Fer with PARP-1 and the PP1 phosphatase. Furthermore, recent findings link the metabolic regulatory roles of Fer and FerT in sperm and cancer cells. In the current review, we discuss the above detailed aspects, which portray Fer and FerT as new regulatory links between sperm and malignant cells. This perspective view can endow us with new analytical and research tools that will deepen our understanding of the regulatory trajectories and networks that govern these two multi-layered systems.

Curr Neuropharmacol 2023; 21:2134-2150. [PMID: 37021417 PMCID: PMC10556365 DOI: 10.2174/1570159x21666230404102122] [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: 04/24/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Severe neurologic complications after spinal anesthesia are rare but highly distressing, especially in pregnant women. Bupivacaine is widely used in spinal anesthesia, but its neurotoxic effects have gained attention. METHODS Furthermore, the etiology of bupivacaine-mediated neurotoxicity in obstetric patients remains unclear. Female C57BL/6 mice were intrathecally injected with 0.75% bupivacaine on the 18th day of pregnancy. We used immunohistochemistry to examine DNA damage after bupivacaine treatment in pregnant mice and measured γ-H2AX (Ser139) and 8-OHdG in the spinal cord. A PARP-1 inhibitor (PJ34) and autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) were administered with bupivacaine in pregnant mice. Parp-1flox/flox mice were crossed with Nes-Cre transgenic mice to obtain neuronal conditional knockdown mice. Then, LC3B and P62 staining were performed to evaluate autophagic flux in the spinal cords of pregnant wild-type (WT) and Parp-1-/- mice. We performed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to evaluate autophagosomes. RESULTS The present study showed that oxidative stress-mediated DNA damage and neuronal injury were increased after bupivacaine treatment in the spinal cords of pregnant mice. Moreover, PARP-1 was significantly activated, and autophagic flux was disrupted. Further studies revealed that PARP-1 knockdown and autophagy inhibitors could alleviate bupivacaine-mediated neurotoxicity in pregnant mice. CONCLUSION Bupivacaine may cause neuronal DNA damage and PARP-1 activation in pregnant mice. PARP-1 further obstructed autophagic flux and ultimately led to neurotoxicity.

Loss of Fer Jeopardizes Metabolic Plasticity and Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Lung and Breast Carcinoma Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22073387. [PMID: 33806191 PMCID: PMC8037256 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22073387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Metabolic plasticity is a hallmark of the ability of metastatic cancer cells to survive under stressful conditions. The intracellular Fer kinase is a selective constituent of the reprogramed mitochondria and metabolic system of cancer cells. In the current work, we deciphered the modulatory roles of Fer in the reprogrammed metabolic systems of metastatic, lung (H358), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and breast (MDA-MB-231), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), carcinoma cells. We show that H358 cells devoid of Fer (H358ΔFer), strictly depend on glucose for their proliferation and growth, and fail to compensate for glucose withdrawal by oxidizing and metabolizing glutamine. Furthermore, glucose deficiency caused increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and induction of a DNA damage response (DDR), accompanied by the onset of apoptosis and attenuated cell-cycle progression. Analysis of mitochondrial function revealed impaired respiratory and electron transport chain (ETC) complex 1 (comp. I) activity in the Fer-deficient H358ΔFer cells. This was manifested by decreased levels of NAD+ and ATP and relatively low abundance of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites. Impaired electron transport chain comp. I activity and dependence on glucose were also confirmed in Fer-deficient, MDA-MB-231ΔFer cells. Although both H358ΔFer and MDA-MB-231ΔFer cells showed a decreased aspartate level, this seemed to be compensated by the predominance of pyrimidines synthesis over the urea cycle progression. Notably, absence of Fer significantly impeded the growth of H358ΔFer and MDA-MB-231ΔFer xenografts in mice provided with a carb-deficient, ketogenic diet. Thus, Fer plays a key role in the sustention of metabolic plasticity of malignant cells. In compliance with this notion, targeting Fer attenuates the progression of H358 and MDA-MB-231 tumors, an effect that is potentiated by a glucose-restrictive diet.

Abstract
Aerobic glycolysis is an important metabolic adaptation of cancer cells. However, there is growing evidence that reprogrammed mitochondria also play an important metabolic role in metastatic dissemination. Two constituents of the reprogrammed mitochondria of cancer cells are the intracellular tyrosine kinase Fer and its cancer- and sperm-specific variant, FerT. Here, we show that Fer and FerT control mitochondrial susceptibility to therapeutic and hypoxic stress in metastatic colon (SW620) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC-H1299) cells. Fer- and FerT-deficient SW620 and H1299 cells (SW∆Fer/FerT and H∆Fer/FerT cells, respectively) become highly sensitive to metformin treatment and to hypoxia under glucose-restrictive conditions. Metformin impaired mitochondrial functioning that was accompanied by ATP deficiency and robust death in SW∆Fer/FerT and H∆Fer/FerT cells compared to the parental SW620 and H1299 cells. Notably, selective knockout of the fer gene without affecting FerT expression reduced sensitivity to metformin and hypoxia seen in SW∆Fer/FerT cells. Thus, Fer and FerT modulate the mitochondrial susceptibility of metastatic cancer cells to hypoxia and metformin. Targeting Fer/FerT may therefore provide a novel anticancer treatment by efficient, selective, and more versatile disruption of mitochondrial function in malignant cells.

Abstract
Fes and Fes-related (Fer) protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) comprise a subfamily of nonreceptor tyrosine kinases characterized by a unique multidomain structure composed of an N-terminal Fer/CIP4 homology-Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (F-BAR) domain, a central Src homology 2 (SH2) domain, and a C-terminal PTK domain. Fer is ubiquitously expressed, and upregulation of Fer has been implicated in various human cancers. The PTK activity of Fes has been shown to be positively regulated by the binding of phosphotyrosine-containing ligands to the SH2 domain. Here, the X-ray crystal structure of human Fer SH2 domain bound to a phosphopeptide that has D-E-pY-E-N-V-D sequence is reported at 1.37 å resolution. The asymmetric unit (ASU) contains six Fer-phosphopeptide complexes, and the structure reveals three distinct binding modes for the same phosphopeptide. At four out of the six binding sites in the ASU, the phosphopeptide binds to Fer SH2 domain in a type I β-turn conformation, and this could be the optimal binding mode of this phosphopeptide. At the other two binding sites in the ASU, it appears that spatial proximity of neighboring SH2 domains in the crystal induces alternative modes of binding of this phosphopeptide.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. The transcription factor YY1 acts as an inhibitor of many types of tumors. We found that YY1 knockdown promoted the invasion and migration of PANC-1 and BxPC-3 cells; FER knockdown partially restored the promotion of pancreatic cancer caused by YY1 knockdown. In vivo experiments yielded the same results. According to luciferase reporter gene, electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays, YY1 directly binds to the FER promoter region. Moreover, higher level FER expression results in a worse TNM stage and prognosis for patients with PDAC. Furthermore, by downregulating FER, YY1 inhibits the formation of the STAT3-MMP2 complex, thereby suppressing expression of MMP2 and ultimately inhibiting the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer. Our study demonstrates that the YY1/FER/STAT3/MMP2 axis is associated with the progression of pancreatic cancer and may provide a new therapeutic target for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
To obtain a new anticancer drug, we focused on FER tyrosine kinase. Starting with high-throughput screening with our in-house chemical library, compound 1, which has a pyridine moiety, was found. Referring to their X-ray crystal structure with FES proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase, as a surrogate of FER followed by chemical modification including scaffold hopping of the pyridine template, we discovered pyrido-pyridazinone derivatives with potent FER kinase inhibitory activity. Here, we disclose the structure-activity relationship on the scaffold and representative compound 21 (DS21360717), which showed in vivo antitumor efficacy in a subcutaneous tumor model.
