Clinical and preclinical data reveal that RECQL5 protein overexpression in breast cancer was strongly correlated with poor prognosis, survival, and therapeutic resistance. In the current investigation, we report design, synthesis, and specificity of a small molecule, 4a, which can preferentially kill RECQL5-expressing breast cancers but not RECQL5 knockout. Our stringent analysis showed that compound 4a specifically sensitizes RECQL5-expressing cancers, while it did not have any effect on other members of DNA RECQL-helicases. Integrated approaches of organic synthesis, biochemical, in silico molecular simulation, knockouts, functional mutation, and rescue experiments showed that 4a potently inhibits RECQL5-helicase activity and stabilizes RECQL5-RAD51 physical interaction, leading to impaired HRR and preferential killing of RECQL5-expressing breast cancer. Moreover, 4a treatment led to the efficient sensitization of cisplatin-resistant breast cancers but not normal mammary epithelial cells. Pharmacologically, compound 4a was orally effective in reducing the growth of RECQL5-expressing breast tumors (human xenograft) in NUDE-mice with no appreciable toxicity to the vital organs.
Amino Acid Functionalized Organotin Trichlorides and Their Tin Sulfide Clusters

We present a new synthesis of functionalized tin sulfide clusters via organotin trichlorides with boc-protected amino acids (RAAcSnCl3). In this work we used non-polar (alanine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine and methionine), polar/neutral (serine and tyrosine) and basic (histidine) amino acids. We obtained single crystals from a Boc-protected valine derivative of the originally used organotin trichloride R1SnCl3 [R1 = CMe2CH2C(O)Me] and determined its structure by means of X-ray diffraction. A subsequent reaction with sulfide sources led to a variety of respective cluster structures. By using either (Me3Si)2S or Na2S, the reaction product turns out to be the defect-heterocubane cluster [(RAAcSn)3S4Cl] or the “doppeldecker”-type cluster [(RAAcSn)4S6], respectively, according to 119Sn NMR spectroscopy.

We were interested in the design and synthesis of novel bioisosteric analogues of leuprolide acetate containing the oxadiazole moiety at the C- or N-terminal of the peptide. An efficient approach for the synthesis of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles through the reaction of hydrazide with ammonium thiocyanate and desulfurization reaction of the thiosemicarbazides using different coupling reagents was employed. These compounds are bioisosteres of the amide bond. Furthermore, the coupling of 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazoles at the C-terminal of leuprolide analogues was carried out, using a coupling reagent in the solution phase. On the other hand, the addition of a 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole to the N-terminal of the peptide sequence was carried out through the reaction of the 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole with succinic anhydride that led to the formation of a carboxylic acid moiety. Addition of the synthesized oxadiazole containing carboxylic acid to the peptide sequence was performed using a coupling reagent and on the surface of the resin. The synthesized peptides containing the oxadiazole moiety at the C- or N-terminal of the peptide sequence are peptidomimetics of leuprolide acetate. All of the synthesized peptides were purified using preparative HPLC and their structures were confirmed using HR-MS (ESI).

Fragment-based drug design (FBDD) affords active compounds for biological targets. While there are numerous reports on FBDD by fragment growing/optimization, fragment linking has rarely been reported. Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) has become a powerful hit-identification strategy for biological targets. We report the synergistic combination of fragment linking and DCC to identify inhibitors of the aspartic protease endothiapepsin. Based on X-ray crystal structures of endothiapepsin in complex with fragments, we designed a library of bis-acylhydrazones and used DCC to identify potent inhibitors. The most potent inhibitor exhibits an IC50value of 54 nm, which represents a 240-fold improvement in potency compared to the parent hits. Subsequent X-ray crystallography validated the predicted binding mode, thus demonstrating the efficiency of the combination of fragment linking and DCC as a hit-identification strategy. This approach could be applied to a range of biological targets, and holds the potential to facilitate hit-to-lead optimization.

Novel inhibitors of FXIa containing an (S)-2-phenyl-1-(4-phenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)ethanamine core have been optimized to provide compound 16b, a potent, reversible inhibitor of FXIa (Ki = 0.3 nM) having in vivo antithrombotic efficacy in the rabbit AV-shunt thrombosis model (ID50 = 0.6 mg/kg + 1 mg kg-1 h-1). Initial analog selection was informed by molecular modeling using compounds 11a and 11h overlaid onto the X-ray crystal structure of tetrahydroquinoline 3 complexed to FXIa. Further optimization was achieved by specific modifications derived from careful analysis of the X-ray crystal structure of the FXIa/11h complex. Compound 16b was well tolerated and enabled extensive pharmacologic evaluation of the FXIa mechanism up to the ID90 for thrombus inhibition.
