Abstract
Previously, we reported the new pyrido-pyridazinone template as a feline sarcoma-related (FER) tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Representative compound 1 (DS21360717) showed strong enzyme inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.5 nM), however, its antitumor effect was insufficient, probably due to poor solubility and resultant low bioavailability (BA). In addition, the kinase selectivity was inadequate, which may result in certain safety risks. Here, we focused on derivatization of the unoptimized C-5 position to obtain promising FER inhibitors possessing strong antitumor effects and improved selectivity, referring to their X-ray crystal structure and the docking model with FES proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase as an FER surrogate. While establishing the synthetic route of the pyrido-pyridazinone scaffold, we obtained a desired compound via our derivatization. Our optimized compound 17c (DS08701581) showed the highest class cell-free and cell activities in this template, good oral BA, and improved kinase selectivity, resulting in significant tumor growth inhibition in the Ba/F3-FER tumor model without body weight loss.
此前,我们曾报道过一种新的吡啶并哒嗪酮模板作为猫肉瘤相关(FER)酪氨酸激酶抑制剂。代表性化合物 1(DS21360717)显示出很强的酶抑制活性(IC50 = 0.5 nM),但其抗肿瘤效果并不充分,这可能是由于溶解性差和生物利用度(BA)低造成的。此外,激酶选择性不足,可能会导致一定的安全风险。在此,我们参考其 X 射线晶体结构以及以 FES 原癌基因酪氨酸激酶作为 FER 替代物的对接模型,重点对未优化的 C-5 位进行衍生化处理,以获得具有较强抗肿瘤作用和较高选择性的 FER 抑制剂。在建立吡啶并哒嗪酮支架合成路线的同时,我们通过衍生化获得了理想的化合物。我们优化后的化合物 17c(DS08701581)在该模板中显示出了最高级别的无细胞活性和细胞活性、良好的口服 BA 和改进的激酶选择性,从而在 Ba/F3-FER 肿瘤模型中显著抑制了肿瘤生长,且无体重减轻。
