The human farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (hFPPS), a key regulatory enzyme in the mevalonate pathway, catalyzes the biosynthesis of the C-15 isoprenoid farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP). FPP plays a crucial role in the post-translational prenylation of small GTPases that perform a plethora of cellular functions. Although hFPPS is a well-established therapeutic target for lytic bone diseases, the currently available bisphosphonate drugs exhibit poor cellular uptake and distribution into nonskeletal tissues. Recent drug discovery efforts have focused primarily on allosteric inhibition of hFPPS and the discovery of non-bisphosphonate drugs for potentially treating nonskeletal diseases. Hit-to-lead optimization of a new series of thienopyrimidine-based monosphosphonates (ThP-MPs) led to the identification of analogs with nanomolar potency in inhibiting hFPPS. Their interactions with the allosteric pocket of the enzyme were characterized by crystallography, and the results provide further insight into the pharmacophore requirements for allosteric inhibition.

Target repurposing is a proven method for finding new lead compounds that target Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African trypanosomiasis. Due to the recent discovery of a lapatinib-derived analog 2 with excellent potency against T. brucei (EC50 = 42 nM) and selectivity over human host cells, we have explored other classes of human tyrosine kinase inhibitor scaffolds in order to expand the range of chemotypes for pursuit. Following library expansion, we found compound 11e to have an EC50 of 84 nM against T. brucei cells while maintaining selectivity over human hepatocytes. In addition, the library was tested against causative agents of Chagas' disease, leishmaniasis, and malaria. Two analogs with sub-micromolar potencies for T. cruzi (4j) and Plasmodium falciparum (11j) were discovered, along with an analog with considerable potency against Leishmania major amastigotes (4e). Besides identifying new and potent protozoan growth inhibitors, these data highlight the value of concurrent screening of a chemical library against different protozoan parasites. This journal is
