The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-interacting kinases 1 and 2 (MNKs 1/2) and their downstream target eIF4E, play a role in oncogenic transformation, progression and metastasis. These results provided rationale for development of first MNKs inhibitors, currently in clinical trials for cancer treatment. Inhibitors of the MNKs/eIF4E pathway are also proposed as treatment strategy for inflammatory conditions. Here we present results of optimization of indazole-pyridinone derived MNK1/2 inhibitors among which compounds 24 and 26, selective and metabolically stable derivatives. Both compounds decreased levels of eIF4E Ser206 phosphorylation (pSer209-eIF4E) in MOLM16 cell line. When administered in mice compounds 24 and 26 significantly improved survival rates of animals in the endotoxin lethal dose challenge model, with concomitant reduction of proinflammatory cytokine levels – TNFα and IL-6 in serum. Identified MNK1/2 inhibitors represent a novel class of immunomodulatory compounds with a potential for the treatment of inflammatory diseases including sepsis.

BET proteins are key epigenetic regulators that regulate transcription through binding to acetylated lysine (AcLys) residues of histones and transcription factors through bromodomains (BDs). The disruption of this interaction with small molecule bromodomain inhibitors is a promising approach to treat various diseases including cancer, autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases. Covalent inhibitors can potentially offer a more durable target inhibition leading to improved in vivo pharmacology. Here we describe the design of covalent inhibitors of BRD4(BD1) that target a methionine in the binding pocket by attaching an epoxide warhead to a suitably oriented noncovalent inhibitor. Using thermal denaturation, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and an X-ray crystal structure, we demonstrate that these inhibitors selectively form a covalent bond with Met149 in BRD4(BD1) but not other bromodomains and provide durable transcriptional and antiproliferative activity in cell based assays. Covalent targeting of methionine offers a novel approach to drug discovery for BET proteins and other targets.
