BICYCLIC KINASE INHIBITORS AND USES THEREOF

, (2021/11/06)
The invention relates to kinase inhibitors, in particular inhibitors of protein kinases including the SIK-family, CSF1R, HCK, TEK-family, BRK, ABL, KIT and/or their mutants. Although structurally similar to other bicyclic kinase inhibitors, the kinase inhibitors of the invention are distinctive; possessing a particular class of heterocyclic moiety. Such kinase inhibitors can display one or more certain properties distinct to their structurally similar kinase inhibitors. The kinase inhibitors of the invention or pharmaceutical compositions comprising them may be used in the treatment of a disorder or condition, such as a proliferative disorder, for example, a leukaemia or solid tumour. In particular, these and other structurally related kinase inhibitors may be used in the treatment of a proliferative disorder - such as a mixed phenotype acute leukaemia (MPAL) - characterised by (inter-alia) the presence of MEF2C protein, a human chromosomal translocation at 11q23, and/or a KMT2A fusion oncoprotein. The kinase inhibitors or pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be used topically to modulate skin pigmentation in a subject, for example to impart UV protection and reduce skin cancer risk.

Kallikrein-related peptidase 6 (KLK6) is a secreted serine protease that belongs to the family of tissue kallikreins (KLKs). Many KLKs are investigated as potential biomarkers for cancer as well as therapeutic drug targets for a number of pathologies. KLK6, in particular, has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, but target validation has been hampered by a lack of selective inhibitors. This work introduces a class of depsipeptidic KLK6 inhibitors, discovered via high-throughput screening, which were found to function as substrate mimics that transiently acylate the catalytic serine of KLK6. Detailed structure-activity relationship studies, aided by in silico modeling, uncovered strict structural requirements for potency, stability, and acyl-enzyme complex half-life. An optimized scaffold, DKFZ-251, demonstrated good selectivity for KLK6 compared to other KLKs, and on-target activity in a cellular assay. Moreover, DKFZ-633, an inhibitor-derived activity-based probe, could be used to pull down active endogenous KLK6.
