  • Publication number: 20200181095
    Abstract: We describe the use of comparative structural analysis and structure-guided molecular design to develop potent and selective inhibitors (10d and (S)-17b) of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13). We applied a three-step process, starting with a comparative analysis of the X-ray crystallographic structure of compound 5 in complex with MMP-13 with published structures of known MMP-13 inhibitor complexes followed by molecular design and synthesis of potent, but non-selective zinc-chelating MMP inhibitors (e.g., 10a and 10b). After demonstrating that the pharmacophores of the chelating inhibitors (S)-10a, (R)-10a, and 10b were binding within the MMP-13 active site, the Zn2+ chelating unit was replaced with non-chelating polar residues that bridged over the Zn2+ binding site and reach into a solvent accessible area.

  • Publication number: 20200163972
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of inhibiting casein kinase 1? (CK1?), comprising contacting the CK1? with a compound of formula (I) as defined herein; such as compound SR-3029. We demonstrate that CSNK1D is amplified and/or overexpressed in human breast tumors and that CK1? can be medically targeted in human breast cancer subtypes overexpressing this kinase. The invention further provides a method of treating cancer, such as a breast cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, renal, bladder or colon cancer, or a cancer that metastasizes to the brain, lung, or bone provided that both elevated CK1? and ?-catenin dependence are involved in those metastatic diseases. The cancer can be a breast cancer of the triple negative subclass of breast cancers (TNBC), or can be an HER+ breast cancer.
