Discovery of a Novel, Highly Potent, and Selective Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinone-Based Cdc7 inhibitor with a Quinuclidine Moiety (TAK-931) as an Orally Active Investigational Anti-Tumor Agent
Structural highlights
FunctionROCK2_HUMAN Protein kinase which is a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton and cell polarity. Involved in regulation of smooth muscle contraction, actin cytoskeleton organization, stress fiber and focal adhesion formation, neurite retraction, cell adhesion and motility via phosphorylation of ADD1, BRCA2, CNN1, EZR, DPYSL2, EP300, MSN, MYL9/MLC2, NPM1, RDX, PPP1R12A and VIM. Phosphorylates SORL1 and IRF4. Acts as a negative regulator of VEGF-induced angiogenic endothelial cell activation. Positively regulates the activation of p42/MAPK1-p44/MAPK3 and of p90RSK/RPS6KA1 during myogenic differentiation. Plays an important role in the timely initiation of centrosome duplication. Inhibits keratinocyte terminal differentiation. May regulate closure of the eyelids and ventral body wall through organization of actomyosin bundles. Plays a critical role in the regulation of spine and synaptic properties in the hippocampus.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedIn our pursuit of developing a novel, potent, and selective cell division cycle 7 (Cdc7) inhibitor, we optimized the previously reported thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidinone analogue I showing time-dependent Cdc7 kinase inhibition and slow dissociation kinetics. These medicinal chemistry efforts led to the identification of compound 3d, which exhibited potent cellular activity, excellent kinase selectivity, and antitumor efficacy in a COLO205 xenograft mouse model. However, the issue of formaldehyde adduct formation emerged during a detailed study of 3d, which was deemed an obstacle to further development. A structure-based approach to circumvent the adduct formation culminated in the discovery of compound 11b (TAK-931) possessing a quinuclidine moiety as a preclinical candidate. In this paper, the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of this series of compounds will be presented.
