Potent and Selective Inhibitors of MTH1 Probe Its Role in Cancer Cell Survival

Recent literature has claimed that inhibition of the enzyme MTH1 can eradicate cancer. MTH1 is one of the housekeeping enzymes that are responsible for hydrolyzing damaged nucleotides in cells and thus prevent them from being incorporated into DNA. We have developed orthogonal and chemically distinct tool compounds to those published in the literature to allow us to test the hypothesis that inhibition of MTH1 has wide applicability in the treatment of cancer. Here we present the work that led to the discovery of three structurally different series of MTH1 inhibitors with excellent potency, selectivity, and proven target engagement in cells. None of these compounds elicited the reported cellular phenotype, and additional siRNA and CRISPR experiments further support these observations. Critically, the difference between the responses of our highly selective inhibitors and published tool compounds suggests that the effect reported for the latter may be due to off-target cytotoxic effects. As a result, we conclude that the role of MTH1 in carcinogenesis and utility of its inhibition is yet to be established.

Lead optimization of 3-carboxyl-4(1 H)-quinolones to deliver orally bioavailable antimalarials

Malaria is a protozoal parasitic disease that is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas and causes more than 800,000 deaths per year. The continuing emergence of multidrug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum drives the ongoing need for the development of new and effective antimalarial drugs. Our previous work has explored the preliminary structural optimization of 4(1H)-quinolone ester derivatives, a new series of antimalarials related to the endochins. Herein, we report the lead optimization of 4(1H)-quinolones with a focus on improving both antimalarial potency and bioavailability. These studies led to the development of orally efficacious antimalarials including quinolone analogue 20g, a promising candidate for further optimization.

4-anilino-6,7-dialkoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor kinase and their bioisosteric relationship to the 4-anilino-6,7-dialkoxyquinazoline inhibitors

The synthesis and SAR of a series of 4-anilino-6,7-dialkoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) kinase are described. Condensation of 3,4-dialkoxyanilines with ethyl (ethoxymethylene)cyanoacetate followed by thermal cyclization gave, regiospecifically, 6,7-dialkoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbonitriles. Chlorination (POCl3) followed by the reaction with substituted anilines furnished the 4-anilino-6,7-dialkoxyquinoline-3-carbonitrile inhibitors of EGF-R kinase. An alternate synthesis of these compounds starts with a methyl 3,4-dialkoxybenzoate. Nitration followed by reduction (Fe, NH4Cl, MeOH-H2O) gave a methyl 2-amino-4,5-dialkoxybenzoate. Amidine formation using DMF-acetal followed by cyclization using LiCH2CN furnished a 6,7-dialkoxy-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbonitrile, which was transformed as before. Compounds containing acid, ester, amide, carbinol, and aldehyde groups at the 3-position of the quinoline ring were also prepared for comparison, as were several 1-anilino-6,7-dimethoxyisoquinoline-4-carbonitriles. The compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the autophosphorylation of the catalytic domain of EGF-R. The SAR of these inhibitors with respect to the nature of the 6,7-alkoxy groups, the aniline substituents, and the substituent at the 3-position was studied. The compounds were further evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of cell lines that overexpress EGF-R or HER-2. It was found that 4-anilinoquinoline-3-carbonitriles are effective inhibitors of EGF-R kinase with activity comparable to the 4-anilinoquinazoline-based inhibitors. A new homology model of EGF-R kinase was constructed based on the X-ray structures of Hck and FGF receptor-1 kinase. The model suggests that with the quinazoline-based inhibitors, the N3 atom is hydrogen-bonded to a water molecule which, in turn, interacts with Thr 830. It is proposed that the quinoline-3-carbonitriles bind in a similar manner where the water molecule is displaced by the cyano group which interacts with the same Thr residue.
