The BET family of proteins consists of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and BRDt. Each protein contains two distinct bromodomains (BD1 and BD2). BET family bromodomain inhibitors under clinical development for oncology bind to each of the eight bromodomains with similar affinities. We hypothesized that it may be possible to achieve an improved therapeutic index by selectively targeting subsets of the BET bromodomains. Both BD1 and BD2 are highly conserved across family members (>70% identity), whereas BD1 and BD2 from the same protein exhibit a larger degree of divergence (a?40% identity), suggesting selectivity between BD1 and BD2 of all family members would be more straightforward to achieve. Exploiting the Asp144/His437 and Ile146/Val439 sequence differences (BRD4 BD1/BD2 numbering) allowed the identification of compound 27 demonstrating greater than 100-fold selectivity for BRD4 BD2 over BRD4 BD1. Further optimization to improve BD2 selectivity and oral bioavailability resulted in the clinical development compound 46 (ABBV-744).

Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) plays a crucial role in the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription and some BRD4 inhibitors have been advanced to clinical trials. Nevertheless, the clinical application of BRD4 inhibitors could be limited by drug resistance. As an alternative strategy, the emerging Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) technology has the potential to overcome the drug resistance of traditional small-molecule drugs. Based on PROTACs approaches, several BRD4 degraders were developed and have been proved to degrade BRD4 protein and inhibit tumor growth. Herein, we present the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of pyrrolopyridone derivative-based BRD4 degraders. Four synthesized compounds displayed comparative potence against BRD4 BD1 with IC50 at low nanomolar concentrations. Anti-proliferative activity of 32a against BxPC3 cell line (IC50 = 0.165 μM) was improved by about 7-fold as compared to the BRD4 inhibitor ABBV-075. Furthermore, degrader 32a potently induced the degradation of BRD4 and inhibited the expression of c-Myc in BxPC3 cell line in a time-dependent manner. The exploration of intracellular antitumor mechanism showed 32a induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis effectively. All the results demonstrated that compound 32a could be considered as a potential BRD4 degrader for further investigation.
