Targeting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) is a potential therapeutic strategy to control diseases involving oxidative stress. Here, six classes of known small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors were dissected into 77 fragments in a fragment-based deconstruction reconstruction (FBDR) study and tested in four orthogonal assays. This gave 17 fragment hits of which six were shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in the Keap1 Kelch binding pocket. Two hits were merged into compound 8 with a 220-380-fold stronger affinity (Ki = 16 μM) relative to the parent fragments. Systematic optimization resulted in several novel analogues with Ki values of 0.04-0.5 μM, binding modes determined by X-ray crystallography, and enhanced microsomal stability. This demonstrates how FBDR can be used to find new fragment hits, elucidate important ligand-protein interactions, and identify new potent inhibitors of the Keap1-Nrf2 PPI.

Recent studies examined the possibility to overcome imatinib resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients by combination therapy with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) ligands. Pioglitazone, a full PPARγ agonist, improved the survival of patients by the gradual elimination of the residual CML stem cell pool. To evaluate the importance of the pharmacological profile of PPARγ agonists on the ability to circumvent resistance, the partial PPARγ agonist 4‘-((2-propyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-1-yl)methyl)-[1,1’-biphenyl]-2-carboxylic acid, derived from telmisartan, and other related derivatives were investigated. The 4-substituted benzimidazole derivatives bearing a [1,1′-biphenyl]-2-carboxamide moiety sensitized K562-resistant cells to imatinib treatment. Especially the derivatives 18a-f, which did not activate PPARγ to more than 40% at 10 μM, retrieved the cytotoxicity of imatinib in these cells. The cell death modulating properties were higher than that of pioglitazone. It is of interest to note that all novel compounds were not cytotoxic neither on non-resistant nor on resistant cells. They exerted antitumor potency only in combination with imatinib.

Inhibiting the protein-protein interaction (PPI) between the transcription factor Nrf2 and its repressor protein Keap1 has emerged as a promising strategy to target oxidative stress in diseases, including central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Numerous non-covalent small-molecule Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitors have been reported to date, but many feature suboptimal physicochemical properties for permeating the blood-brain barrier, while others contain problematic structural moieties. Here, we present the first side-by-side assessment of all reported Keap1-Nrf2 PPI inhibitor classes using fluorescence polarization, thermal shift assay, and surface plasmon resonance - and further evaluate the compounds in an NQO1 induction cell assay and in counter tests for nonspecific activities. Surprisingly, half of the compounds were inactive or deviated substantially from reported activities, while we confirm the cross-assay activities for others. Through this study, we have identified the most promising Keap1-Nrf2 inhibitors that can serve as pharmacological probes or starting points for developing CNS-active Keap1 inhibitors.

A novel series of 2-benzylbenzimidazole analogs was designed, synthesized and investigated for their in vitro activities against LPS induced NF-κB inhibition in RAW 264.7 cells using the SEAP assay. Among them, 4-((4-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)phenol (6e, >100% inhibition at 30?μM, IC50?=?3.0?μM), 4-((5-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)phenol (6j, 96% inhibition at 30?μM, IC50?=?4.0?μM) and 2-((4-(cyclohexylmethoxy)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)methyl)phenol (6k, 95% inhibition at 30?μM, IC50?=?5.0?μM) showed strong inhibitory activity. The structure activity relationship confirmed that the substitution on benzimidazole ring A with hydrophobic cyclohexylmethoxy group at position 4 or 5 markedly enhances the activity. In addition, the hydrophilic hydrogen bonding donor group (OH) at position 2 or 4 on phenyl ring B connected with one methylene spacer to the benzimidazole ring is favorable for the inhibitory activity. However, hydrophobic (–OCH3 and –Cl) groups on phenyl ring B decrease the activity.

A new palladium-catalyzed, heteroatom-directed strategy for C-H nitration of anilines is described. This C-H functionalization reaction is highly ortho-selective and results in very good yields. The highlight of the work is the use of pyrimidine as the removable directing group. This approach constitutes one of the rare methods of ortho-nitration of anilines, a reaction that is normally very difficult to achieve via traditional approaches.

KEAP1 is the key regulator of the NRF2-mediated cytoprotective response, and increasingly recognized as a target for diseases involving oxidative stress. Pharmacological intervention has focused on molecules that decrease NRF2-ubiquitination through covalent modification of KEAP1 cysteine residues, but such electrophilic compounds lack selectivity and may be associated with off-target toxicity. We report here the first use of a fragment-based approach to directly target the KEAP1 Kelch-NRF2 interaction. X-ray crystallographic screening identified three distinct "hot-spots" for fragment binding within the NRF2 binding pocket of KEAP1, allowing progression of a weak fragment hit to molecules with nanomolar affinity for KEAP1 while maintaining drug-like properties. This work resulted in a promising lead compound which exhibits tight and selective binding to KEAP1, and activates the NRF2 antioxidant response in cellular and in vivo models, thereby providing a high quality chemical probe to explore the therapeutic potential of disrupting the KEAP1-NRF2 interaction.
