Recent literature has claimed that inhibition of the enzyme MTH1 can eradicate cancer. MTH1 is one of the housekeeping enzymes that are responsible for hydrolyzing damaged nucleotides in cells and thus prevent them from being incorporated into DNA. We have developed orthogonal and chemically distinct tool compounds to those published in the literature to allow us to test the hypothesis that inhibition of MTH1 has wide applicability in the treatment of cancer. Here we present the work that led to the discovery of three structurally different series of MTH1 inhibitors with excellent potency, selectivity, and proven target engagement in cells. None of these compounds elicited the reported cellular phenotype, and additional siRNA and CRISPR experiments further support these observations. Critically, the difference between the responses of our highly selective inhibitors and published tool compounds suggests that the effect reported for the latter may be due to off-target cytotoxic effects. As a result, we conclude that the role of MTH1 in carcinogenesis and utility of its inhibition is yet to be established.

Pteridinone-based Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonists were identified as potent and selective alternatives to the previously reported adenine-based agonists, leading to the discovery of GS-9620. Analogues were optimized for the immunomodulatory activity and selectivity versus other TLRs, based on differential induction of key cytokines including interferon α (IFN-α) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). In addition, physicochemical properties were adjusted to achieve desirable in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. GS-9620 is currently in clinical evaluation for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (HBV) infection.
