Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is an attractive epigenetic target in human cancers. Inhibiting the phosphorylation of BRD4 by casein kinase 2 (CK2) is a potential strategy to overcome drug resistance in cancer therapy. The present study describes the synthesis of multiple BRD4–CK2 dual inhibitors based on rational drug design, structure–activity relationship, and in vitro and in vivo evaluations, and 44e was identified to possess potent and balanced activities against BRD4 (IC50 = 180 nM) and CK2 (IC50 = 230 nM). In vitro experiments show that 44e could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis and autophagy-associated cell death of MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. In two in vivo xenograft mouse models, 44e displays potent anticancer activity without obvious toxicities. Taken together, we successfully synthesized the first highly effective BRD4–CK2 dual inhibitor, which is expected to be an attractive therapeutic strategy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

The structures of the two predominant metabolites (M4 and M5) of RVX-208, observed both in in vitro human and animal liver microsomal incubations, as well as in plasma from animal in vivo studies, were determined. A panel of biocatalytic systems was tested to identify biocatalysts suitable for milligram scale production of metabolite M4 from RVX-208. Rabbit liver S9 fraction was selected as the most suitable system, primarily based on pragmatic metrics such as catalyst cost and estimated yield of M4 (～55%). Glucuronidation of RVX-208 catalyzed by rabbit liver S9 fraction was optimized to produce M4 in amounts sufficient for structural characterization. Structural studies using LC/MS/MS analysis and 1H NMR spectroscopy showed the formation of a glycosidic bond between the primary hydroxyl group of RVX-208 and glucuronic acid. NMR results suggested that the glycosidic bond has the β-anomeric configuration. A synthetic sample of M4 confirmed the proposed structure. Metabolite M5, hypothesized to be the carboxylate of RVX-208, was prepared using human liver microsomes, purified by HPLC, and characterized by LC/MS/MS and 1H NMR. The structure was confirmed by comparison to a synthetic sample. Both samples confirmed M5 as a product of oxidation of primary hydroxyl group of RVX-208 to carboxylic acid.
