Porcupine is an O-acyltransferase that regulates Wnt secretion. Inhibiting porcupine may block the Wnt pathway which is often dysregulated in various cancers. Consequently porcupine inhibitors are thought to be promising oncology therapeutics. A high throughput screen against porcupine revealed several potent hits that were confirmed to be Wnt pathway inhibitors in secondary assays. We developed a pharmacophore model and used the putative bioactive conformation of a xanthine inhibitor for scaffold hopping. The resulting maleimide scaffold was optimized to subnanomolar potency while retaining good physical druglike properties. A preclinical development candidate was selected for which extensive in vitro and in vivo profiling is reported.

In the course of our study on fungal purine transporters, a number of new 3-deazapurine analogues have been rationally designed, based on the interaction of purine substrates with the Aspergillus nidulans FcyB carrier, and synthesized following an effective synthetic procedure. Certain derivatives have been found to specifically inhibit FcyB-mediated [3H]-adenine uptake. Molecular simulations have been performed, suggesting that all active compounds interact with FcyB through the formation of hydrogen bonds with Asn163, while the insertion of hydrophobic fragments at position 9 and N6 of 3-deazaadenine enhanced the inhibition.

Rearrangement of alkoxycarbonyl imidazole acryl azides in phenyl ether at 200 deg C yields imidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidinone or imidazo[1,5-c]pyridinone derivatives, depending on the size of the alkoxy substituent.
