The new halogenated 1H-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridines and 1H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridines were synthesised as analogues of known CK2 inhibitors: 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzotriazole (TBBt) and 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzimidazole (TBBi). Their influence on the activity of recombinant human CK2α, CK2α’ and PIM1 kinases was determined. The most active inhibitors were di- and trihalogenated 1H-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridines (4a, 5a and 10a) with IC50 values 2.56, 3.82 and 3.26 μM respectively for CK2α. Furthermore, effect on viability of cancer cell lines MCF-7 (human breast adenocarcinoma) and CCRF-CEM (T lymphoblast leukemia) of all final compounds was evaluated. Finally, three crystal structures of complexes of CK2α1-335 with inhibitors 4a, 5a and 10a were obtained. In addition, new protocol was used to obtain high-resolution crystal structures of CK2α’Cys336Ser in complex with four inhibitors (4a, 5a, 5b, 10a).

Tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO2) is a heme-containing enzyme constitutively expressed at high concentrations in the liver and responsible for l-tryptophan (l-Trp) homeostasis. Expression of TDO2 in cancer cells results in the inhibition of immune-mediated tumor rejection due to an enhancement of l-Trp catabolism via the kynurenine pathway. In the study herein, we disclose a new 6-(1H-indol-3-yl)-benzotriazole scaffold of TDO2 inhibitors developed through rational design, starting from existing inhibitors. Rigidification of the initial scaffold led to the synthesis of stable compounds displaying a nanomolar cellular potency and a better understanding of the structural modulations that can be accommodated inside the active site of hTDO2.
