Based on the binding mode of our previously discovered dual inhibitor of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, 3-thiomorpholin-8-oxo-8H-acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrrole-9- carbonitrile (3, S1), a library of 9-substituted 3 derivatives was synthesized to further probe the p4 pocket of the two targets. By NMR, structure-activity relationship study, and site-directed mutation, compound 6d (3-(4- aminophenylthio)-8-oxo-8H-acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrrole-9-3-phenyl)propylamine) was identified to span p2-p4 pockets of Mcl-1, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, and then exhibited 9- to 35-fold better affinity to the three targets than 3 (IC 50 = 10, 20 and 18 nM, respectively), which led to greater activity in induction of apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines. Different contribution of p4 pocket to binding Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 was also investigated by plotting the potency and the HAC of the derivatives.

Based on a known nanomolar Bcl-2 homology domain 3 (BH3) mimetic 3-thiomorpholin-8-oxo-8H-acenaphtho[1,2-b] pyrrole-9-carbonitrile (S1, MW: 331), we applied a fragment-based approach to obtain BH3 mimetics with improved affinity and improved solubility in a water-ethanol (9:1) cosolvent. After the deconstruction of 1 (S1), we obtained fragment cyanoacetamide (4), which was determined to be a ligand efficiency (LE) hot part. After a rational optimization through fragment evolution beginning with fragment 4, a smaller Mcl-1 inhibitor (E,E)-2-(benzylaminocarbonyl)-3-styrylacrylonitrile (4g, MW: 288) with a 6-fold increase in affinity compared to 1 was obtained, as predicted by our optimization curve and identified by Mcl-1 protein nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).

We recently described the discovery of a dual inhibitor of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, 3-thiomorpholin-8-oxo-8H-acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrrole-9-carbonitrile (3, S1). Here we report a structure-guided design in combination with structure-activity relationship studies to exploit the difference in the p2 binding pocket of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, from which a novel dual inhibitor 3-(4-aminophenylthio)-8-oxo-8H- acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrrole-9-carbonitrile (6h) was obtained, which showed significant enhanced IC50 value against Mcl-1 (5 nM), greater Mcl-1/Bak disruption potential, and accordingly a 10-fold increased cytotoxicity over 3.
