- Novel CK2-Specific Pt(II) Compound Reverses Cisplatin-Induced Resistance by Inhibiting Cancer Cell Stemness and Suppressing DNA Damage Repair in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treatments
-
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have a pivotal impact in drug resistance, tumor metastasis, and progression of various cancer entities, including in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A CK2 inhibitor HY1 was found to show potent CSC inhibitory effects in A549 cells. By taking advantage of inherent CK2 specificity and CSC inhibition of HY1, a Pt(II) agent (HY1-Pt) was developed by conjugation of HY1 with an active Pt(II) unit to reverse cisplatin-induced resistance in A549/cDDP cell treatment. In vitro biological studies indicated that HY1-Pt can target CK2, suppress DNA damage repair, reinforce cellular accumulation of platinum, and reverse resistance apart from effectively inhibiting CSCs through Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in A549/cDDP cells. Significantly, HY1-Pt presented an acceptable pharmacokinetic behavior and exhibited higher tumor growth inhibitory efficacy than cisplatin either in A549 or A549/cDDP xenograft models with low toxicity. Overall, HY1-Pt is a promising drug candidate for NSCLC treatment.

- Discovery of 5-(3-Chlorophenylamino)benzo[ c][2,6]naphthyridine Derivatives as Highly Selective CK2 Inhibitors with Potent Cancer Cell Stemness Inhibition
-
Multifunctional entities have recently been attractive for the development of anticancer chemotherapeutic drugs. However, such entities with concurrent CK2 along with cancer stem cell (CSC) inhibitory activities are rare in a single small molecule. Herein, a series of 5-(3-chlorophenylamino)benzo[c][2,6]naphthyridine derivatives were synthesized using a known CK2 inhibitor, silmitasertib (CX-4945), as the lead compound. Among the resulting compounds, 1c exhibited stronger CK2 inhibitory activity with higher Clk2/CK2 selectivity than CX-4945. Significantly, 1c could modulate the Akt1(ser129)-GSK-3β(ser9)-Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and inhibit the expression of the stemness marker ALDH1A1, CSC surface antigens, and stem genes, showing potent CSC inhibitory activity. Moreover, 1c also displayed superior pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity compared with CX-4945 sodium salt, without obvious toxicity. The favorable antiproliferative and antitumor activity of 1c, its high inhibitory selectivity for CK2, and its potent inhibition of cancer cell stemness make this molecule a candidate for the treatment of cancer.

- New Dual CK2/HDAC1 Inhibitors with Nanomolar Inhibitory Activity against Both Enzymes
-
Four potent CK2 inhibitors derived from CX-4945 are described. They also provided nanomolar activity against HDAC1, therefore having promising utility as dual-target agents for cancer. The linker length between the hydroxamic acid and the CX-4945 scaffold plays an important role in dictating balanced activity against the targeted enzymes. The seven-carbon linker (compound 15c) was optimal for inhibition of both CK2 and HDAC1. Remarkably, 15c showed 3.0 and 3.5 times higher inhibitory activity than the reference compounds CX-4945 (against CK2) and SAHA (against HDAC1), respectively. Compound 15c exhibited micromolar activity in cell-based cytotoxic assays against multiple cell lines.

- Structure-based design, synthesis and evaluation in vitro of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro derivatives as inhibitors of the tankyrases
-
Abstract The tankyrases are members of the PARP superfamily; they poly(ADP-ribosyl)ate their target proteins using NAD+ as a source of electrophilic ADP-ribosyl units. The three principal protein substrates of the tankyrases (TRF1, NuMA and axin) are involved in replication of cancer cells; thus inhibitors of the tankyrases may have anticancer activity. Using structure-based drug design and by analogy with known 3-arylisoquinolin-1-one and 2-arylquinazolin-4-one inhibitors, series of arylnaphthyridinones, arylpyridinopyrimidinones and their tetrahydro-derivatives were synthesised and evaluated in vitro. 7-Aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones, 3-aryl-2,6-naphthyridin-1-ones and 3-aryl-2,7-naphthyridin-1-ones were prepared by acid-catalysed cyclisation of the corresponding arylethynylpyridinenitriles or reaction of bromopyridinecarboxylic acids with β-diketones, followed by treatment with NH3. The 7-aryl-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones were methylated at 1-N and reduced to 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones. Cu-catalysed reaction of benzamidines with bromopyridinecarboxylic acids furnished 2-arylpyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones. Condensation of benzamidines with methyl 1-benzyl-4-oxopiperidine-3-carboxylate and deprotection gave 2-aryl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4-ones, aza analogues of the known inhibitor XAV939. Introduction of the ring-N in the arylnaphthyridinones and the arylpyridopyrimidinones caused >1000-fold loss in activity, compared with their carbocyclic isoquinolinone and quinazolinone analogues. However, the 7-aryl-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-ones showed excellent inhibition of the tankyrases, with some examples having IC50 = 2 nM. One compound (7-(4-bromophenyl)-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1,6-naphthyridin-5-one) showed 70-fold selectivity for inhibition of tankyrase-2 versus tankyrase-1. The mode of binding was explored through crystal structures of inhibitors in complex with tankyrase-2.

- Structural modifications to tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylate esters en route to the discovery of M5-preferring muscarinic receptor orthosteric antagonists
-
The M5 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor is suggested to be a potential pharmacotherapeutic target for the treatment of drug abuse. We describe herein the discovery of a series of M5-preferring orthosteric antagonists based on the scaffold of 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3- carboxylic acid. Compound 56, the most selective compound in this series, possesses an 11-fold selectivity for the M5 over M1 receptor and shows little activity at M2-M4. This compound, although exhibiting modest affinity (Ki = 2.24 μM) for the [3H]N-methylscopolamine binding site on the M5 receptor, is potent (IC50 = 0.45 nM) in inhibiting oxotremorine-evoked [3H]DA release from rat striatal slices. Further, a homology model of human M5 receptor based on the crystal structure of the rat M3 receptor was constructed, and docking studies of compounds 28 and 56 were performed in an attempt to understand the possible binding mode of these novel analogues to the receptor.

- Discovery and SAR of 5-(3-Chlorophenylamino)benzo[ c ][2,6]naphthyridine-8- carboxylic Acid (CX-4945), the first clinical stage inhibitor of protein kinase CK2 for the Treatment of Cancer
-
Herein we chronicle the discovery of CX-4945 (25n), a first-in-class, orally bioavailable ATP-competitive inhibitor of protein kinase CK2 in clinical trials for cancer. CK2 has long been considered a prime cancer drug target because of the roles of deregulated and overexpressed CK2 in cancer-promoting prosurvival and antiapoptotic pathways. These biological properties as well as the suitability of CK2s small ATP binding site for the design of selective inhibitors, led us to fashion novel therapeutic agents for cancer. The optimization leading to 25n (Ki = 0.38 nM) was guided by molecular modeling, suggesting a strong binding of 25n resulting from a combination of hydrophobic interactions, an ionic bridge with Lys68, and hydrogen bonding with the hinge region. 25n was found to be highly selective, orally bioavailable across species (20-51%) and efficacious in xenograft models. The discovery of 25n will allow the therapeutic targeting of CK2 in humans for the first time.
