Page/Page column 90, (2014/11/13)
Disclosed are XBP-1/IRE-1 inhibitors having formula disclosed herein. Methods of making and using these inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, in particular B cell cancers, are also disclosed. Also disclosed is a genetic XBP-1 -knockout cancer mouse model. In still further aspects, the disclosed subject matter relates to methods for treating oncological and inflammatory disorders in a patient. For example, disclosed herein are methods whereby an effective amount of a compound or composition disclosed herein is administered to a patient having an oncological disorder, for example B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and who is in need of treatment thereof. XBP-1 deficiency causes leukemic cells to acquire phenotypes that are disadvantageous for their survival, such as compromised BCR signaling capability and increased surface expression of S1 P1.

Inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE-1) is a kinase/RNase ER stress sensor that is activated in response to excessive accumulation of unfolded proteins, hypoxic conditions, calcium imbalance, and other stress stimuli. Activation of IRE-1 RNase function exerts a cytoprotective effect and has been implicated in the progression of cancer via increased expression of the transcription factor XBP-1s. Here, we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of novel chromenone-based covalent inhibitors of IRE-1. Preparation of a family of 8-formyltetrahydrochromeno[3,4-c]pyridines was achieved via a Duff formylation that is attended by an unusual cyclization reaction. Biological evaluation in vitro and in whole cells led to the identification of 30 as a potent inhibitor of IRE-1 RNase activity and XBP-1s expression in wild type B cells and human mantle cell lymphoma cell lines.
