- Discovery and mechanistic study of thiazole-4-acylsulfonamide derivatives as potent and orally active ChemR23 inhibitors with a long-acting effect in cynomolgus monkeys
-
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are a subset of dendritic cells that can secrete large amounts of type I interferon. ChemR23, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) expressed on the surface of pDCs, contributes to the recruitment of pDCs to inflamed tissues through chemotaxis signaling, and is therefore considered an attractive target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. We previously reported benzoxazole-based compounds that can inhibit ChemR23 signaling through receptor internalization. Although these compounds showed ChemR23 internalization on pDCs in cynomolgus monkeys after oral administration, further improvement of the pharmacokinetics profile was needed for a clinical candidate and we therefore attempted scaffold-hopping from the benzoxazole core structure leading to novel thiazole derivatives. In this report, the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new thiazole-based ChemR23 inhibitors were described. Through sequential structure–activity relationship studies regarding (i) the side chain of the N-acylsulfonamide moiety, (ii) the 5-position of the thiazole ring, and (iii) the 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-one moiety, we have succeeded in finding a potent thiazole-based ChemR23 inhibitor, 14f (IC80 = 12 nM). In addition, the oral administration of 14f at 30 mg/kg to cynomolgus monkeys demonstrated a sustained pharmacological effect of ChemR23 internalization on pDCs until 8 h after dosing, which was considered a longer effect in comparison to previously reported 2-aminobenzoxazole-based ChemR23 inhibitors. This report also shows the synthesis and evaluation of fluorescein-labeled compound 45c for a mechanistic study, and we could confirm the direct binding of our thiazole derivative to ChemR23. We believe that our research on small molecule ChemR23 inhibitors and chemical probe will contribute to the elucidation and analysis of the functions of ChemR23 as well as identifying novel therapeutics for autoimmune diseases.

- Discovery, Synthesis and Evaluation of a Ketol-Acid Reductoisomerase Inhibitor
-
Ketol-acid reductoisomerase (KARI), the second enzyme in the branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway, is a potential drug target for bacterial infections including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we have screened the Medicines for Malaria Venture Pathogen Box against purified M. tuberculosis (Mt) KARI and identified two compounds that have Ki values below 200 nm. In Mt cell susceptibility assays one of these compounds exhibited an IC50 value of 0.8 μm. Co-crystallization of this compound, 3-((methylsulfonyl)methyl)-2H-benzo[b][1,4]oxazin-2-one (MMV553002), in complex with Staphylococcus aureus KARI, which has 56 % identity with Mt KARI, NADPH and Mg2+ yielded a structure to 1.72 ? resolution. However, only a hydrolyzed product of the inhibitor (i.e. 3-(methylsulfonyl)-2-oxopropanic acid, missing the 2-aminophenol attachment) is observed in the active site. Surprisingly, Mt cell susceptibility assays showed that the 2-aminophenol product is largely responsible for the anti-TB activity of the parent compound. Thus, 3-(methylsulfonyl)-2-oxopropanic acid was identified as a potent KARI inhibitor that could be further explored as a potential biocidal agent and we have shown 2-aminophenol, as an anti-TB drug lead, especially given it has low toxicity against human cells. The study highlights that careful analysis of broad screening assays is required to correctly interpret cell-based activity data.
