- INHIBITORS OF RPN11
-
Candidate compounds for specific inhibition of Rpn11 are represented by Formula 1a where each of R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7 is independently selected from hydrogen (H), substituted and unsubstituted alkyl groups, carboxyl groups, or substituted and unsubstituted carboxyamides.

- Discovery of an Inhibitor of the Proteasome Subunit Rpn11
-
The proteasome plays a crucial role in degradation of normal proteins that happen to be constitutively or inducibly unstable, and in this capacity it plays a regulatory role. Additionally, it degrades abnormal/damaged/mutant/misfolded proteins, which serves a quality-control function. Inhibitors of the proteasome have been validated in the treatment of multiple myeloma, with several FDA-approved therapeutics. Rpn11 is a Zn2+-dependent metalloisopeptidase that hydrolyzes ubiquitin from tagged proteins that are trafficked to the proteasome for degradation. A fragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) approach was utilized to identify fragments with activity against Rpn11. Screening of a library of metal-binding pharmacophores (MBPs) revealed that 8-thioquinoline (8TQ, IC50 value ~2.5 μM) displayed strong inhibition of Rpn11. Further synthetic elaboration of 8TQ yielded a small molecule compound (35, IC50 value ~400 nM) that is a potent and selective inhibitor of Rpn11 that blocks proliferation of tumor cells in culture.

- Discovery of potent and orally bioavailable inhibitors of Human Uric Acid Transporter 1 (hURAT1) and binding mode prediction using homology model
-
This Letter describes the discovery of a series of potent inhibitors of Human Uric Acid Transporter 1 (hURAT1). Lead generation and optimization via 3D pharmacophore analysis resulted in compound 41. With an IC50 of 33.7 nM, 41 also demonstrated good oral bioavailability in rat (74.8%) and displayed a consistent PK profile across all species tested (rat, dog and monkey).
