- Structure-Based Optimization and Discovery of M3258, a Specific Inhibitor of the Immunoproteasome Subunit LMP7 (β5i)
-
Proteasomes are broadly expressed key components of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation pathway containing catalytically active subunits (β1, β2, and β5). LMP7 (β5i) is a subunit of the immunoproteasome, an inducible isoform that is predominantly expressed in hematopoietic cells. Clinically effective pan-proteasome inhibitors for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) nonselectively target LMP7 and other subunits of the constitutive proteasome and immunoproteasome with comparable potency, which can limit the therapeutic applicability of these drugs. Here, we describe the discovery and structure-based hit optimization of novel amido boronic acids, which selectively inhibit LMP7 while sparing all other subunits. The exploitation of structural differences between the proteasome subunits culminated in the identification of the highly potent, exquisitely selective, and orally available LMP7 inhibitor 50 (M3258). Based on the strong antitumor activity observed with M3258 in MM models and a favorable preclinical data package, a phase I clinical trial was initiated in relapsed/refractory MM patients.

- Structure-based development of (1-(3′-Mercaptopropanamido)methyl)boronic Acid Derived Broad-Spectrum, Dual-Action Inhibitors of Metallo- And Serine-β-lactamases
-
The emergence and spread of bacterial pathogens acquired metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) and serine-β-lactamase (SBL) medicated β-lactam resistance gives rise to an urgent need for the development of new dual-action MBL/SBL inhibitors. Application of a pharmacophore fusion strategy led to the identification of (2′S)-(1-(3′-mercapto-2′-methylpropanamido)methyl)boronic acid (MS01) as a new dual-action inhibitor, which manifests broad-spectrum inhibition to representative MBL/SBL enzymes, including the widespread VIM-2 and KPC-2. Guided by the VIM-2:MS01 and KPC-2:MS01 complex structures, further structural optimization yielded new, more potent dual-action inhibitors. Selectivity studies indicated that the inhibitors had no apparent inhibition to human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 and showed selectivity across serine hydrolyases in E. coli and human HEK293T cells labeled by the activity-based probe TAMRA-FP. Moreover, the inhibitors displayed potentiation of meropenem efficacy against MBL- or SBL-positive clinical isolates without apparent cytotoxicity. This work will aid efforts to develop new types of clinically useful dual-action inhibitors targeting MBL/SBL enzymes.

- Synthesis, in vitro and in vivo biological evaluation, docking studies, and structure-activity relationship (SAR) discussion of dipeptidyl boronic acid proteasome inhibitors composed of β-amino acids
-
A series of novel dipeptidyl boronic acid proteasome inhibitors composed of β-amino acids were synthesized, in vitro and in vivo biologically evaluated, and theoretically modeled for the first time. From the screened racemic compounds in enzyme, 4i was the most active. The IC50 value of its pure enantiomer 4q was 9.6 nM, 36-fold more active than its isomer 4p and as active as the marketed bortezomib in inhibiting human 20S proteasome. This candidate also showed good activities with IC50 values nearly less than 5 μM against several human solid and hematologic tumor cell lines. Safety evaluation in vivo with zebrafish and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats showed that the candidate 4q was less toxic than bortezomib. Pharmacokinetic profiles suggested candidate 4q showed a more plasma exposure and longer half-life than bortezomib. Docking results indicated that 4q nearly interacted with 20S proteasome in a similar way as bortezomib.

- Design, synthesis, biological evaluation, and Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) discussion of dipeptidyl boronate proteasome inhibitors, Part I: Comprehensive understanding of the SAR of α-amino acid boronates
-
New series of dipeptidyl boronate inhibitors of 20S proteasome were designed and synthesized. The comprehensive understanding of the SAR was obtained by utilizing the variation of four substituents. From the screened compounds in enzyme, novel inhibitors 49 and 50 were identified to be highly potent druglike candidates with IC50 values of 1.2 and 1.6 nM, respectively, which showed better activities than the drug bortezomib on the market. Two hematologic human tumor cell lines, HL-60 and U266, were significantly sensitive to both candidates and showed nearly the same potency as the standard bortezomib with IC50 values less than 10 nM. But as for most of the eight human solid tumor cell lines, both candidates were more potent than the standard with the IC50 value range of 9.8-70 nM. The activity evaluation of the stereoisomers showed that changing R-isomers to S-isomers greatly reduced the potency and even induced inactivity.
