The target tracer carbon-11-labeled imidazopyridine- and purine-thioacetamide derivatives, N-(3-[11C]methoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-((5-methoxy-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)thio)acetamide (3-[11C]4a) and N-(4-[11C]methoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-((5-methoxy-3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)thio)acetamide (4-[11C]4a); 2-((6-amino-9H-purin-8-yl)thio)-N-(3-[11C]methoxy-4-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (3-[11C]8a) and 2-((6-amino-9H-purin-8-yl)thio)-N-(4-[11C]methoxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetamide (4-[11C]8a), were prepared by O-[11C]methylation of their corresponding precursors with [11C]CH3OTf under basic condition (2 N NaOH) and isolated by a simplified solid-phase extraction (SPE) method in 50-60% radiochemical yields based on [11C]CO2 and decay corrected to end of bombardment (EOB). The overall synthesis time from EOB was 23 min, the radiochemical purity was >99%, and the specific activity at end of synthesis (EOS) was 185-555 GBq/μmol.

PRMT5 plays important roles in diverse cellular processes and is upregulated in several human malignancies. Besides, PRMT5 has been validated as an anticancer target in mantle cell lymphoma. In this study, we found a potent and selective PRMT5 inhibitor by performing structure-based virtual screening and hit optimization. The identified compound 17 (IC50 = 0.33 μM) exhibited a broad selectivity against a panel of other methyltransferases. The direct binding of 17 to PRMT5 was validated by surface plasmon resonance experiments, with a Kd of 0.987 μM. Kinetic experiments indicated that 17 was a SAM competitive inhibitor other than the substrate. In addition, 17 showed selective antiproliferative effects against MV4-11 cells, and further studies indicated that the mechanism of cellular antitumor activity was due to the inhibition of PRMT5 mediated SmD3 methylation. 17 may represent a promising lead compound to understand more about PRMT5 and potentially assist the development of treatments for leukemia indications.

Nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) belongs to the family of ecto-nucleotidases, which control extracellular nucleotide, nucleoside, and (di)phosphate levels. To study the (patho)physiological roles of NPP1 potent and selective inhibitors with drug-like properties are required. Therefore, a compound library was screened for NPP1 inhibitors using a colorimetric assay with p-nitrophenyl 5′-thymidine monophosphate (p-Nph-5′-TMP) as an artificial substrate. This led to the discovery of 2-(3H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-ylthio)-N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acetamide (5a) as a hit compound with a Ki value of 217 nM. Subsequent structure-activity relationship studies led to the development of purine and imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine analogues with high inhibitory potency (Ki values of 5.00 nM and 29.6 nM, respectively) when assayed with p-Nph-5′-TMP as a substrate. Surprisingly, the compounds were significantly less potent when tested versus ATP as a substrate, with Ki values in the low micromolar range. A prototypic inhibitor was investigated for its mechanism of inhibition and found to be competitive versus both substrates.

Small molecules interfering with posttranslational modification of histones are of interest as tools to study epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. Specifically, drugs that interfere with histone deacetylation could be useful to induce differentiation, growth arrest as well as apoptotic cell death in tumor cells. One class of histone deacetylases is known as sirtuins some of which (Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sir2) are for example inhibited by the lactone splitomicin leading to telomeric silencing in yeast. However, splitomicin is only a micromolar inhibitor of yeast Sir2 and does not inhibit human subtypes and the lactone is prone to hydrolytic ring opening. In preliminary SAR-studies, splitomicin analogs lacking this hydrolytically labile ring were described as inactive while the naphthalene moiety could successfully be replaced by smaller aromatic rings in a fragment-like dihydrocoumarin. Here we report the synthesis and biological activity of a series of hydrolytically stable analogs with activity against human SIRT1 and 2. These comparatively small compounds characterized by high ligand efficiency are used as a starting point toward the development of specific inhibitors of histone deacetylases from the class of sirtuins.
