To identify potent and selective inhibitors of D816V, the most common gain-of-function c-KIT mutant, we carried out structure-based de novo design using 7-azaindole as the core and the scoring function improved by implementing an accurate solvation free energy term. This approach led to the identification of new c-KIT inhibitors specific for the D816V mutant. The 3-(3,4- dimethoxyphenyl)-7-azaindole scaffold was optimized and represents a lead structure for the design of the potent and specific inhibitors of the D816V mutant. The results of molecular dynamics simulations indicate that hydrogen bonding interactions between the 7-azadindole moiety and the backbone groups of Cys673 are the most significant determinant for the potency and selectivity of c-KIT inhibitors.

Tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) is considered a promising target in the development of a therapeutic treatment of cancer and pain. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel 7-azaindole-based Trk kinase inhibitors through the structure-based design strategy. By varying the functional groups at the 3 and 5 positions of a 7-azaindole scaffold, we studied the structure-activity relationships (SAR) profiles and identified a series of potent Trk inhibitors. Representative derivatives showed desirable activity in cellular proliferation and apoptosis assays. Moreover, these inhibitors exhibited noteworthy antiangiogenic activity.

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) is an important target in cancer due to the deregulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in many tumors. In this study, we designed [3,5-d]-7-azaindole analogs as PI3Kα inhibitors through the fragment-growing strategy. By varying groups at the 3,5-positions of azaindole, we developed the SAR (Structure-activity relationship) and identified a series of potent PI3Kα inhibitors. Representative azaindole derivatives showed activity in a cellular proliferation and apoptosis assays. Moreover, B3 exhibited strong antiangiogenic effects on cancer cells.
