Immune checkpoint blockade using anti-PD-1/PD-L1 or anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, many types of cancer do not respond and for those that do, only a minority of patients achieve durable remissions. Therefore, oncoimmunologists are working to develop adoptive cell therapies for non-hematopoietic tumors by harnessing immune effector cells such as αβ T cells and γδ T cells. In contrast to conventional αβ T cells that recognize peptides in the context of MHC class I or II molecules, γδ T cells expressing Vγ2Vδ2 T cell receptors (also termed Vγ9Vδ2) are stimulated by isoprenoid metabolites (phosphoantigens) such as isopentenyl diphosphate in a butyrophilin-3A1-dependent manner. Vγ2Vδ2 T cells kill almost all types of tumor cells that have been treated with bisphosphonates. In this study, we synthesized a series of fluorine-containing bisphosphonates based on current drugs and found that they stimulated Vγ2Vδ2 T cell killing of tumor cells. A fluorine-containing prodrug analogue of zoledronate where phosphonate moieties were masked with pivaloyloxymethyl groups markedly enhanced Vγ2Vδ2 T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, and also promoted the expansion of peripheral blood Vγ2Vδ2 T cells. These results demonstrate that a prodrug of a fluorine-containing zoledronate analogue can sensitize tumor cells for killing as well as expand Vγ2Vδ2 T cells for adoptive cell therapy.

Bisphosphonates are a major class of drugs used to treat osteoporosis, Paget's disease, and cancer. They have been proposed to act by inhibiting one or more targets including protein prenylation, the epidermal growth factor receptor, or the adenine nucleotide translocase. Inhibition of the latter is due to formation in cells of analogs of ATP: the isopentenyl ester of ATP (ApppI) or an AppXp-type analog of ATP, such as AMP-clodronate (AppCCl2p). We screened both ApppI as well as AppCCl2p against a panel of 369 kinases finding potent inhibition of some tyrosine kinases by AppCCl2p, attributable to formation of a strong hydrogen bond between tyrosine and the terminal phosphonate. We then synthesized bisphosphonate preprodrugs that are converted in cells to other ATP-analogs, finding low nM kinase inhibitors that inhibited cell signaling pathways. These results help clarify our understanding of the mechanisms of action of bisphosphonates, potentially opening up new routes to the development of bone resorption, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory drug leads.
An improved method for the synthesis of nucleoside triphosphate analogues

Nucleoside monophosphates, when activated by trifluoroacetic anhydride and N-methylimidazole, efficiently couple with a variety of electron-deficient diphosphonates in a reproducible and efficient manner (72% isolated yield). Unlike traditional methods for the preparation of nucleoside 5′-β,γ-methylenetriphosphate analogues, there is no requirement for predrying, or conversion to specific salt forms, of commercially available nucleoside monophosphate starting materials.
