Herpesvirus-associated Ubiquitin-Specific Protease (HAUSP, also called USP7) interacts with and stabilizes Mdm2, and represents one of the first examples that deubiquitinases oncogenic proteins. USP7 has been regarded as a potential drug target for cancer therapy. Inhibitors of USP7 have been recently shown to suppress tumor cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Based on leading USP7 inhibitors P5091 and P22077, we designed and synthesized a series of thiazole derivatives. The results of in vitro assays showed that the thiazole compounds exhibited low micromolar inhibition activity against both USP7 enzyme and cancer cell lines. The compounds induced cell death in a p53-dependent and p53-independent manner. Taken together, this study may provide thiazole compounds as a new class of USP7 inhibitors.

Inhibitors of the cancer-related cysteine isopeptidase human ubiquitin-specific proteases 7 (USP7) and 47 (USP47) are considered to have potential as cancer therapeutics, owing to their ability to stabilize the tumor suppressor p53 and to decrease DNA polymerase β(Polβ), both of which are potential anticancer effects. A new class of dual small molecule inhibitors of these enzymes has been discovered. Compound 1, a selective inhibitor of USP7 and USP47 with moderate potency, demonstrates inhibition of USP7 in cells and induces elevated p53 and apoptosis in cancer cell lines. Compound 1 has been shown to demonstrate modest activity in human xenograft multiple myeloma and B-cell leukemia in vivo models. This activity may be the result of dual inhibition of USP7 and USP47. To address issues regarding potency and developability, analogues of compound 1 have been synthesized and tested, leading to improvements in potency, solubility, and metabolic reactivity profile. Further optimization is expected to yield preclinical candidates and, ultimately, clinical candidates for the treatment of multiple myeloma, prostate cancer, and other cancers.
