NIMA-related kinase 1 (Nek1) has lately garnered attention for its widespread function in ciliogenesis, apoptosis, and the DNA-damage response. Despite its involvement in various diseases and its potential as a cancer drug target, no directed medicinal chemistry efforts toward inhibitors against this dark kinase are published. Here, we report the structure-guided design of a potent small-molecule Nek1 inhibitor, starting from a scaffold identified by kinase cross-screening analysis. Seven lead compounds were identified in silico and evaluated for their inhibitory activity. The top compound, 10f, was further profiled for efficacy, toxicity, and bioavailability in a zebrafish polycystic kidney disease model. Administration of 10f caused the expansion of fluorescence-labeled proximal convoluted tubules, supporting our hypothesis that Nek1-inhibition causes cystic kidneys in zebrafish embryos. Compound 10f displayed insignificant inhibition in 48 of 50 kinases in a selectivity test panel. The findings provide a powerful tool to further elucidate the function and pharmacology of this neglected kinase.

New 1,1′-biphenylsulfonamides were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of the ubiquitous human carbonic anhydrase isoforms I, II, IX, XII, and XIV using acetazolamide (AAZ) as reference compound. The sulfonamides 1-21 inhibited all the isoforms, with Ki values in the nanomolar range of concentration, and were superior to AAZ against all of them. X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling studies on the adducts that compound 20, the most potent hCA XIV inhibitor of the series (Ki = 0.26 nM), formed with the five hCAs, provided insight into the molecular determinants responsible for the high affinity of this molecule toward the target enzymes. The results pave the way to the development of 1.1′-biphenylsulfonamides as a new class of highy potent hCA XIV inhibitors.

The invention relates to chemical compounds of the formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which possess B-Raf inhibitory activity and are accordingly useful for their anti cancer activity and thus in methods of treatment of the human or animal body. The invention also relates to processes for the manufacture of said chemical compounds, to pharmaceutical compositions containing them and to their use in the manufacture of medicaments of use in the production of an anti-cancer effect in a warm blooded animal such as man.
