Ligands: 0T2 Related: 3q96, 4dbn Gene: BRAF, BRAF1, P94, RAFB1, V-RAF MURINE SARCOMA VIRAL ONCOGENE HOMOLOG B1 (HUMAN) Activity: Non-specific serine/threonine protein kinase, with EC number 2.7.11.1 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease [BRAF_HUMAN] Note=Defects in BRAF are found in a wide range of cancers. Defects in BRAF may be a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:114500]. Defects in BRAF are involved in lung cancer (LNCR) [MIM:211980]. LNCR is a common malignancy affecting tissues of the lung. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be divided into 3 major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell lung cancer. NSCLC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poor prognosis. Defects in BRAF are involved in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) [MIM:605027]. NHL is a cancer that starts in cells of the lymph system, which is part of the body's immune system. NHLs can occur at any age and are often marked by enlarged lymph nodes, fever and weight loss. Defects in BRAF are a cause of cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome) [MIM:115150]; also known as cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome. CFC syndrome is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, heart defects and mental retardation. Heart defects include pulmonic stenosis, atrial septal defects and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Some affected individuals present with ectodermal abnormalities such as sparse, friable hair, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and a generalized ichthyosis-like condition. Typical facial features are similar to Noonan syndrome. They include high forehead with bitemporal constriction, hypoplastic supraorbital ridges, downslanting palpebral fissures, a depressed nasal bridge, and posteriorly angulated ears with prominent helices. The inheritance of CFC syndrome is autosomal dominant. Defects in BRAF are the cause of Noonan syndrome type 7 (NS7) [MIM:613706]. Noonan syndrome is a disorder characterized by facial dysmorphic features such as hypertelorism, a downward eyeslant and low-set posteriorly rotated ears. Other features can include short stature, a short neck with webbing or redundancy of skin, cardiac anomalies, deafness, motor delay and variable intellectual deficits. Defects in BRAF are the cause of LEOPARD syndrome type 3 (LEOPARD3) [MIM:613707]. LEOPARD3 is a disorder characterized by lentigines, electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormalities of genitalia, retardation of growth, and sensorineural deafness. Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BRAF is found in pilocytic astrocytomas. A tandem duplication of 2 Mb at 7q34 leads to the expression of a KIAA1549-BRAF fusion protein with a constitutive kinase activity and inducing cell transformation. Function [BRAF_HUMAN] Involved in the transduction of mitogenic signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. May play a role in the postsynaptic responses of hippocampal neuron. Publication Abstract from PubMed Our aim was to discover RAF/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) inhibitors that possess strong activity and sufficient oral absorption, and thus, we selected a 5-amino-linked thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine derivative as the lead compound because of its potential kinase inhibitory activities and its desired solubility. The novel tertiary 1-cyano-1-methylethoxy substituent was designed to occupy the hydrophobic region of 'back pocket' of BRAF on the basis of the X-ray co-crystal structure data of BRAF. In addition, we found that N-methylation of the amine linker could control the twisted molecular conformation leading to improved solubility. These approaches produced N-methyl thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-5-amine derivative 5. To maximize the in vivo efficacy, we attempted salt formation of 5. Our result indicated that the besylate monohydrate salt form (5c) showed significant improvement of both solubility and oral absorption. Owing to the improved physicochemical properties, compound 5c demonstrated regressive antitumor efficacy in a HT-29 xenograft model.
