Tankyrase 2 in complex with an inhibitor (OM-1704)
Structural highlights
FunctionTNKS2_HUMAN Poly-ADP-ribosyltransferase involved in various processes such as Wnt signaling pathway, telomere length and vesicle trafficking. Acts as an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating poly-ADP-ribosylation of AXIN1 and AXIN2, 2 key components of the beta-catenin destruction complex: poly-ADP-ribosylated target proteins are recognized by RNF146, which mediates their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Also mediates poly-ADP-ribosylation of BLZF1 and CASC3, followed by recruitment of RNF146 and subsequent ubiquitination. Mediates poly-ADP-ribosylation of TERF1, thereby contributing to the regulation of telomere length. May also regulate vesicle trafficking and modulate the subcellular distribution of SLC2A4/GLUT4-vesicles.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedTankyrases 1 and 2 are central biotargets in the WNT/beta-catenin signaling and Hippo signaling pathways. We have previously developed tankyrase inhibitors bearing a 1,2,4-triazole moiety and binding predominantly to the adenosine binding site of the tankyrase catalytic domain. Here we describe a systematic structure-guided lead optimization approach of these tankyrase inhibitors. The central 1,2,4-triazole template and trans-cyclobutyl linker of the lead compound 1 were left unchanged, while side-group East, West, and South moieties were altered by introducing different building blocks defined as point mutations. The systematic study provided a novel series of compounds reaching picomolar IC50 inhibition in WNT/beta-catenin signaling cellular reporter assay. The novel optimized lead 13 resolves previous atropisomerism, solubility, and Caco-2 efflux liabilities. 13 shows a favorable ADME profile, including improved Caco-2 permeability and oral bioavailability in mice, and exhibits antiproliferative efficacy in the colon cancer cell line COLO 320DM in vitro.
