A_2BAdenosine Receptor (A_2BAdoR) Antagonist PNQ-103 for COPD and SCD

COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a disease that damages lung tissue or restricts airflow through the bronchioles and bronchi, and commonly leads to chronic bronchitis and emphysema. COPD, along with asthma, forms the third leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries and an annual direct and indirect cost of healthcare of more than $50 billion in the US alone. Current therapies suffer from lack of long term efficacy, patient compliance and a narrow therapeutic index.

Adenosine is a powerful bronchoconstrictor and pro-inflammatory agent in COPD and asthma. Adenosine regulates tissue function by activating its receptors: A₁AdoR and A_2AAdoR are high affinity receptors and A_2BAdoR and A₃AdoR are low affinity receptors. During pathological conditions in lung, local adenosine concentrations rise to high levels and activate A_2BAdoR. A_2BAdoR agonized by adenosine induces both bronchoconstriction and pro-inflammatory effects in lung by acting on multiple cell types that lead to airway hyperreactivity and chronic inflammation. Therefore, A_2BAdoR antagonists are expected to be beneficial in COPD and asthma.

PNQ-103 is a proprietary A_2BAdoR antagonist, currently in the pre-clinical development stage for the potential treatment of COPD. It is a potent, selective, orally bio-available agent with low clearance and small volume of distribution. PNQ-103 is efficacious in standard rodent asthma and lung fibrosis models. PNQ-103 was found to be safe in exploratory safety studies including a Drug Matrix Screen, mini-AMES test, and a test for cardiovascular liability in dog telemetry as well as a 30- day repeat dose study in rats.

SCD

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) affects millions of people worldwide. It is caused by an autosomal mutation in the hemoglobin gene (substitution of amino-acid valine [Hb A] for glutamic acid [Hb S]. Hb S in low O2 condition polymerizes, leading to distortion of the cell membrane of red blood cells (RBC) into an elongated sickle shape. Sickled RBCs accumulate in capillaries causing occlusions, impair circulation and cause tissue damage and severe disabilities. Unfortunately, there is no targeted therapy for SCD.

Adenosine levels are elevated in SCD patients. Activation of the A_2BAdoR by adenosine increases 2,3-DPG levels in RBCs, which reduces Hb S affinity to O2 and promotes its polymerization leading to RBC sickling. A recent study published in Nature Medicine (2011; 17:79-86) demonstrated potential utility of an A_2BAdoR antagonist for the treatment of SCD, through selective inhibition of 2,3-DPG production in RBCs. Therefore, PNQ-103, a selective A_2BAdoR antagonist, is expected to be useful for the treatment of SCD. In support, ex vivo PoC (selective inhibition of 2,3-DPG production) has been established for PNQ-103 in RBCs from normal and SCD patients.

Adenosine A2b receptor antagonist

Advinus Therapeutics Ltd

KEEP WATCHING THIS POST……………

PNQ-201 is a proprietary orally active A2B Adenosine receptor (A2BAdoR) antagonist, currently in pre-clinical development for potential treatment of IBD. Advinus is looking for partnering/co-development opportunities.

A_2BAdenosine Receptor (A_2BAdoR) Antagonist PNQ-201 for IBD

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), is a multifactorial disease of an etiology not fully understood. It includes chronic inflammation of the gut, characterized by dysfunction of mucosal immunity. Current oral therapies are ineffective, non-specific, and have significant adverse effects. As such, there is a large unmet medical need for the development of new and specific therapies for IBD.

Adenosine is a stimulator of pro-inflammatory effects in the gastro-intestinal tract. Adenosine regulates tissue function by activating its receptors: A₁AdoR and A_2AAdoR are high affinity receptors and A_2BAdoR and A₃AdoR are low affinity receptors. A_2BAdoR is highly expressed in cecum and colon, with expression increased even further in epithelial cells in human and murine colitis. A_2BAdoR, agonized by adenosine induces cytokine secretion at the mucosal surface, inflammatory cell infiltration into intestinal wall, focal crypt damage and ulceration. Therefore, A_2BAdoR antagonists are expected to be beneficial in IBD patients.

PNQ-201 is a proprietary orally active A_2BAdoR antagonist, currently in pre-clinical development for the potential treatment of IBD. PNQ-201 is a potent and selective A2B antagonist. It is selected for development on the basis of poor systemic bioavailability and high exposure in colon/cecum. Negligible systemic bioavailability and maximum exposure at the sites of action in the lower gastrointestinal tract is expected to offer maximum therapeutic benefits while minimizing potential side effects. PNQ-201 has shown a robust efficacy profile in standard models of IBD, namely, the mouse DSS-induced colitis model and the rat TNBS-induced colitis model. PNQ-201 was found to be safe in exploratory safety studies including a Drug Matrix Screen, mini-AMES test, and a 14- day repeat dose toxicology study in rats.

Advinus Therapeutics Ltd

Adenosine A2a receptor antagonist

for treating disease or disorder susceptible to improvement by antagonism of A_2A receptor.

Advinus Therapeutics is investigating PNQ-370, presumed to be lead from a series of small molecule therapeutics including PD-2 and PD-3, as adenosine A2a receptor antagonist, for the potential treatment of Parkinson’s disease . In November 2012, this drug was in preclinical development .

INTRODUCTION

The effects of adenosine are mediated through at least four specific cell membrane receptors so far identified and classified as Ai, A_2A, A₂B and A₃ belonging to G protein-coupled receptor family. The Ai and A₃ receptors down-regulate cellular cAMP levels through their coupling to G protein, which inhibit adenylate cyclase. In contrast, A_2A and A_2B receptors couple to G protein that activate adenylate cyclase and increase intracellular levels of cAMP. Through these receptors, adenosine regulates the wide range of physiological functions.

Advances in understanding the role of adenosine and its receptors in physiology and pathophysiology, as well as new developments in medicinal chemistry of these receptors have identified potential therapeutic areas for drug development. With the combination of pharmacological data, using selective ligands and genetically modified mice, important progress has been made toward an understanding of the role of ARs in a variety of diseases, such as inflammatory conditions, sepsis, heart attack, ischemia-reperfusion injury, vascular injury, spinal cord injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, diabetes, obesity, inflammatory bowel disease, retinopathy, and Parkinson’s Disease (PD).

Movement disorder constitutes a serious health problem, especially among the elderly. These movement disorders can often be the result of brain lesions. Disorders involving the basal ganglia which result in movement disorders include Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s chorea and Wilson’s disease. Tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural changes are four classic symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it is also associated with depression, dementia and overall cognitive decline. Parkinson’s disease has a prevalence of 1 per 1000 of the total population and increases to 1 per 100 for those aged over 60 years. Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the subsequent reductions in the interstitial concentrations of dopamine in the striatum are critical to the development of Parkinson’s disease. About 80% of cells from the substantia nigra can be destroyed before the clinical symptoms of Parkinson’s disease become apparent

PD is a progressive, incurable disorder with no definite preventive treatment, although drugs are available to alleviate the symptoms and/or slow down the progress of the disease. Current therapy is based on dopamine replacement therapy, the most common drug treatments being dopaminomimetic agents, including L-DOPA, a dopamine precursor, as well as direct or indirect dopamine receptor agonists. L-DOPA is the mainstay in the treatment of PD, but because of tolerance problems and a wide range of adverse reactions, including involuntary movements and vomiting, a strong demand for new therapies exists. Among the various strategies, A2A AR blockers are considered a potential approach to treatment of the disease. Within the brain A2A ARs are richly expressed in the striatum, nucleus accumbens, and olfactory tubercle. A coexpression of A2A with D2 dopamine receptors has been reported in the GABAergic striatopallidal neurons where adenosine and dopamine agonists exert antagonistic effects in the regulation of locomotor activity. Activation of A2A ARs in striatopallidal neurons decreases the affinity of D2 receptors for dopamine, antagonizing the effects of D2 receptors.

The negative interaction between A2A and D2 receptors is at the basis of the use of A2A antagonists as a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of PD. (Pharmacol. Ther. 2005, 105, 267). The recent discovery that the A2A can form functional heteromeric receptor complexes with other Gprote in-coupled receptors such as D2 and the mGlu5 receptors has also suggested new opportunities for the potential of A2A antagonists in PD. (J. Mol. Neurosci. 2005, 26, 209).

A2A knockout (KO) mice transient focal ischemia caused less neuronal damage in comparison to their wild-type (WT) littermates (J. Neurosci. 1999, 19, 9192.). Therefore, it seems that tonic activation of A2A ARs may be responsible for dangerous signal during injury, in contrast to the neuroprotective effects induced by endogenous Al activation. Recently, selective inactivation or reconstitution of A2A ARs in bone-marrow cells revealed their contribution to the development of ischemic brain injury (J.F. Nat. Med. 2004, 10, 1081) Blockade of A2A ARs has recently been implicated in the treatment of movement disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 1997, 18, 338-344) and in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia (Life Sci. 1994, 55, 61-65).

The potential utility of A2A AR antagonists in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease has been reviewed (CNS drugs, 1998, 10, 31 1-320). One advantage of A2A AR antagonist therapy is that the underlying neurodegenerative disorder may also be treated ((Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 1997, 825 (Neuroprotective Agents), 3048). In particular, blockade of A2A AR function confers neuroprotection against MPTP-induced neurotoxicity in mice (Neurosci. 2001, 21, RC143).

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system manifested by cognitive and memory deterioration, a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms, behavioral disturbances, and progressive impairment of daily life activities. Recent research suggests that adenosine receptors play important roles in the modulation of cognitive function. Epidemiological studies have found an association between coffee (a nonselective adenosine receptor antagonist) consumption and improved cognitive function in AD patients and in the elderly. Long-term administration of caffeine in transgenic animal models showed a reduced amyloid burden in brain with better cognitive performance.

Advinus’ Pharma Development Bangalore operation, located on a 8-acre campus with 220,000 sq ft of modern facilities, offers end-to-end pre-clinical to early clinical development platform for pharma product development

Antagonists of adenosine A2A receptors mimic these beneficial effects of caffeine on cognitive function. Neuronal cell cultures with amyloid beta in the presence of an A2A receptor antagonist completely prevented amyloid beta-induced neurotoxicity. These findings suggest that the adenosinergic system constitutes a new therapeutic target for AD, and caffeine and A2A receptor antagonists may have promise to manage cognitive dysfunction in AD (Curr Neuropharmacol. 2009 September; 7(3): 207-216).

High expression of A2A ARs has been found in platelets, leukocytes, vascular smooth muscle, and endothelial cells with important implications in the regulation of inflammatory responses. It is now well established that stimulation of the A2A AR in immune cells induces anti-inflammatory effects, mostly due to its ability to increase cAMP levels, which has strong immunosuppressive effects (Trends Immunol. 2005, 26, 299). Stimulation of A2A ARs inhibits neutrophil adherence to the endothelium, degranulation of activated neutrophils and monocytes, plus superoxide anion generation. A2A ARs have been recently defined as sensors and terminators of proinflammatory activities. The strongest evidence for the key role of A2A in inflammation is derived by the elegant study using mice deficient in A2A ARs (Nature 2001, 414, 916).

The state-of-the-art facility in Pune, Advinus Drug Discovery, develops its own drug candidates to out-license them at preclinical or clinical stages

In this model the lack of A2A subtype leads to increased tissue inflammation and damage, thus suggesting a negative and nonredundant regulatory role for the A2A AR. This model permits one to appreciate that adenosinergic regulation of immune cells is fundamental in normal physiological control of inflammation in vivo in spite of the fact that other Gs-protein-coupled receptors and cAMP elevating ligands are present, such as cathecolamines, prostaglandins, dopamine, and histamine (Trends Immunol. 2005, 26, 299). Interestingly, the A2A AR has been demonstrated to be involved in promotion of wound healing and angiogenesis in healing wounds (Am. J. Physiol. Regul. Integr. Comp. Physiol. 2005, 289, R283).

Moreover, it plays an active role in the pathogenesis of dermal fibrosis, suggesting a role for antagonists as novel therapeutic approach in the treatment and prevention of dermal fibrosis in diseases such as scleroderma (Arthritis Rheum. 2006, 54, 2632) as well as hepatic fibrosis (Br. J. Pharmacol. 2006 Aug; 148(8): 1 144-55). Studies also suggest that A2A receptor antagonists may be beneficial for social memory impairment and hypertension (Behav Brain Res. 2005 Apr 30;159(2):197-205), sepsis (J Immunol. 2006 May 1 ; 176(9): 5616-26), spinal cord injury and neuroprotection (J Neuroinflammation. 201 1 Apr 12;8:31), retinopathy (IVOS, Jan. 2000, vol. 41 (1), 230-243, depression (Neurology. 2003 Dec 9;61(1 1 Suppl 6):S82-7), narcolepsy and other sleep related disorders (Prog Neurobiol. 2007 Dec;83(5):332-47), attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Behav Pharmacol. 2009 Mar;20(2): 134-45; Clinical Genetics (2000), 58(1), 31-40 and references therein),

Antagonists of the A₂A receptor are potentially useful therapies for the treatment of addiction. Major drugs of abuse (opiates, cocaine, ethanol, and the like) either directly or indirectly modulate dopamine signaling in neurons particularly those found in the nucleus accumbens, which contain high levels OfA₂A adenosine receptors. Dependence has been shown to be augmented by the adenosine signaling pathway, and it has been shown that administration of an A₂A receptor antagonist redues the craving for addictive substances (“The Critical Role of Adenosine A₂A Receptors and Gi βγ Subunits in Alcoholism and Addiction: From Cell Biology to Behavior”, by Ivan Diamond and Lina Yao, (The Cell Biology of Addiction, 2006, pp 291-316) and “Adaptations in Adenosine Signaling in Drug Dependence: Therapeutic Implications”, by Stephen P. Hack and Macdonald J. Christie, Critical Review in Neurobiology, Vol. 15, 235-274 (2003)). See also Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research (2007), 31(8), 1302-1307.

A2A receptors may be beneficial for the treatment or prevention of disorders such as a movement disorder, for example, Parkinson’s disease or progressive supernuclear palsy, Restless leg syndrome, nocturnal myoclonus, cerebral ischaemia, Huntington’s disease, multiple system atrophy, corticobasal degeneration, Wilson’s disease or other disorders of basal ganglia which results in dyskinesias, post traumatic stress disorder.

SYNTHESIS

Glucokinase is a key regulator of glucose homeostasis and small molecule activators of this enzyme represent a promising opportunity for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. Several glucokinase activators have advanced to clinical studies and demonstrated promising efficacy; however, many of these early candidates also revealed hypoglycemia as a key risk. In an effort to mitigate this hypoglycemia risk while maintaining the promising efficacy of this mechanism, we have investigated a series of substituted 2-methylbenzofurans as “partial activators” of the glucokinase enzyme leading to the identification of N,N-dimethyl-5-(2-methyl-6-((5-methylpyrazin-2-yl)-carbamoyl)benzofuran-4-yloxy)pyrimidine-2-carboxamide as an early development candidate.

Diabetes is a major public health concern because of its increasing prevalence and associated health risks. The disease is characterized by metabolic defects in the production and utilization of carbohydrates which result in the failure to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels. Two major forms of diabetes are recognized. Type I diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), is the result of an absolute deficiency of insulin. Type Il diabetes, or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), often occurs with normal, or even elevated levels of insulin and appears to be the result of the inability of tissues and cells to respond appropriately to insulin. Aggressive control of NIDDM with medication is essential; otherwise it can progress into IDDM. As blood glucose increases, it is transported into pancreatic beta cells via a glucose transporter. Intracellular mammalian glucokinase (GK) senses the rise in glucose and activates cellular glycolysis, i.e. the conversion of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, and subsequent insulin release. Glucokinase is found principally in pancreatic β-cells and liver parenchymal cells. Because transfer of glucose from the blood into muscle and fatty tissue is insulin dependent, diabetics lack the ability to utilize glucose adequately which leads to undesired accumulation of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Chronic hyperglycemia leads to decreases in insulin secretion and contributes to increased insulin resistance. Glucokinase also acts as a sensor in hepatic parenchymal cells which induces glycogen synthesis, thus preventing the release of glucose into the blood. The GK processes are thus critical for the maintenance of whole body glucose homeostasis.

It is expected that an agent that activates cellular GK will facilitate glucose-dependent secretion from pancreatic beta cells, correct postprandial hyperglycemia, increase hepatic glucose utilization and potentially inhibit hepatic glucose release. Consequently, a GK activator may provide therapeutic treatment for NIDDM and associated complications, inter alia, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance syndrome, hyperinsulinemia, hypertension, and obesity. Several drugs in five major categories, each acting by different mechanisms, are available for treating hyperglycemia and subsequently, NIDDM (Moller, D. E., “New drug targets for Type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome” Nature 414; 821 -827, (2001 )): (A) Insulin secretogogues, including sulphonyl-ureas (e.g., glipizide, glimepiride, glyburide) and meglitinides (e.g., nateglidine and repaglinide) enhance secretion of insulin by acting on the pancreatic beta-cells. While this therapy can decrease blood glucose level, it has limited efficacy and tolerability, causes weight gain and often induces hypoglycemia. (B) Biguanides (e.g., metformin) are thought to act primarily by decreasing hepatic glucose production. Biguanides often cause gastrointestinal disturbances and lactic acidosis, further limiting their use. (C) Inhibitors of alpha-glucosidase (e.g., acarbose) decrease intestinal glucose absorption. These agents often cause gastrointestinal disturbances. (D) Thiazolidinediones (e.g., pioglitazone, rosiglitazone) act on a specific receptor (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma) in the liver, muscle and fat tissues. They regulate lipid metabolism subsequently enhancing the response of these tissues to the actions of insulin. Frequent use of these drugs may lead to weight gain and may induce edema and anemia. (E) Insulin is used in more severe cases, either alone or in combination with the above agents. Ideally, an effective new treatment for NIDDM would meet the following criteria: (a) it would not have significant side effects including induction of hypoglycemia; (b) it would not cause weight gain; (c) it would at least partially replace insulin by acting via mechanism(s) that are independent from the actions of insulin; (d) it would desirably be metabolically stable to allow less frequent usage; and (e) it would be usable in combination with tolerable amounts of any of the categories of drugs listed herein.

Substituted heteroaryls, particularly pyridones, have been implicated in mediating GK and may play a significant role in the treatment of NIDDM. For example, U.S. Patent publication No. 2006/0058353 and PCT publication No’s. WO2007/043638, WO2007/043638, and WO2007/117995 recite certain heterocyclic derivatives with utility for the treatment of diabetes. Although investigations are on-going, there still exists a need for a more effective and safe therapeutic treatment for diabetes, particularly NIDDM.

Preparation of Intermediate (E)-3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-4-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)but- 3-enoic acid (I- 1a):

(Ma) To a vigorously stirred solution of 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde (264 ml_, 2650 mmol) and diethyl succinate (840 ml_, 5050 mmol) in ethanol (1.820 L) at room temperature was added sodium ethoxide (0.93 L of a 21 weight % solution in ethanol) in one portion. The reaction mixture was then heated at reflux for 13 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo (all batches were combined at this point). The resulting residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (1 L) and hydrochloric acid (1 L of a 2M aqueous solution). After separation, the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 1 L). The combined organic extracts were then extracted with sodium hydrogen carbonate (2 x 1 L of a saturated aqueous solution). These aqueous extracts were combined and adjusted to pH 2 with hydrochloric acid (2M aqueous solution) then extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 1 L). These organic extracts were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give desired (E)-3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-4-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)but-3-enoic acid (J₁ Ia: 34.34 g, 5%). The original organic extract was extracted with sodium hydroxide (2 L of a 2M aqueous solution). This aqueous extract was adjusted to pH 2 with hydrochloric acid (2M aqueous solution) then extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 1 L). These organic extracts were combined and concentrated in vacuo to give additional desired materials (395.2 gram, 63%) as red liquid. ¹H NMR (CDCI₃, 300 MHz) δ ppm 7.48 (s, 1 H), 6.57 (d, 1 H), 6.09 (d, 1 H), 4.24 (q, 2H), 3.87 (s, 2H), 2.32 (s, 3H), 1.31 (t, 3H).

The reaction mixture was then heated at 60⁰C for 3 hours. Potassium carbonate (100 g, 0.720 mol) was then added in one portion and the reaction mixture was heated at 60⁰C for a further 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (2 L) and the suspension filtered, washing the solids with dichloromethane (2 x 1 L) (all batches were combined at this point). The combined filtrate and washings were then washed with citric acid (2.5 L of a 1 M aqueous solution), then concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue purified by dry flash chromatography (hexane then 2:1 hexane:ethyl acetate). All fractions containing the desired product were combined and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue, which solidified on standing, was slurried with cold toluene and filtered. The solids were then stirred with hot toluene and decolourising charcoal for 1 hour, followed by filtration of the hot mixture through a pad of celite. The filtrate was allowed to cool and the resulting precipitate isolated by filtration to give desired ethyl 4-hydroxy-2- methylbenzofuran-6-carboxylate (1-1 c: 360 g, 90%) as orange powder.

To a stirred solution of lithium teri-butoxide (59.1 g, 0.74 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (500 ml) was added a solution of [3,5-difluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-piperidin-l-yl)-phenyl]-carbamic acid benzyl ester (II) (100 g, 0.25 mol) in 500 ml of tetrahydrofuran slowly at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred for 3 hours at room temperature (formation of lumps observed). The reaction mixture was cooled to temperature of 10°C to 15°C and acetic acid l-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-chloro-ethyl ester (III) (95.2 g, 0.49 mol) was added in one lot, after 5 minutes methanol (2.36 g, 0.075 mol) was added in one portion. The resulting mixture was stirred further at temperature of 10°C to 15°C. After 5 hours the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirring continued further for 16 hours. An aqueous solution of saturated ammonium chloride (100 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, the resulting mixture was stirred well and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure (35°C, 150 mm Hg). The residual mixture was diluted with water (1 L stirred well and filtered under suction, the residual solid was washed with additional fresh water (100 ml). The residual mass was suspended in acetone (500 ml), stirred well and the mixture diluted with hexane (1 L), slowly. The mixture was stirred further for 1 hour and filtered under suction. The residual solid was washed with a 2:1 mixture of acetone and water (100 ml). The residual solid was dried at 45°C, for 3.5 hour at 4 mm Hg, to obtain the 78 g of (55)-N-{3-[3,5-difluoro-4-(4-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-piperidin-l -yl)-phenyl]-2-oxo-oxazolidin-5-ylmethylj -acetamide (I) as white solid, in 77% yield.

Preparation of acetic acid l-(acetylamino-methyl)-2-chloro-ethyl ester (III)

Step-I: Preparation of l-amino-3-chloro-propan-2-ol hydrochloride (VI)

Benzaldehyde (118.67 g, 1.03 mol) was dissolved in ethanol (297 ml) under stirring and the solution was cooled to 18-19°C. To this solution aqueous ammonia solution (25%) (101.58 ml) was added slowly, followed by slow addition of S-epichlorohydrin (100 g, 1 mol). The resulting mixture was warmed to 40°C and stirred for 7 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred further. After 16 hours, the reaction mixture was concentrated to 50% volume under reduced pressure. Toluene (228 ml) was added to the reaction mixture followed by addition of aqueous hydrochloric acid (162 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid diluted with 152 ml of water). The mixture thus obtained for 3 hours at 45°C, the resulting mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the toluene layer separated. The toluene layer was further extracted with water (56 ml). The combined aqueous layer was diluted with ethanol (56 ml) and the mixture evaporated under reduced pressure. This process was repeated again. To the final concentrate was added ethanol (180 ml), stirred for 10 minutes and the mixture cooled to -28°C to -30°C and maintained at this temperature for 2 hours. The separated solid was filtered under suction and the residue washed with cold (-30°C) ethanol (50 ml). The residue was dried at 45°C, under reduced pressure (4 mm Hg) for 3 hours, to obtain 96 g of l-amino-3-chloro-propan-2-ol hydrochloride (VI) as white solid in 61% yield.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) is a constitutively active, ubiquitous serine/threonine kinase that takes part in a number of physiological processes ranging from glycogen metabolism to apoptosis. GSK-3 is a key mediator of various signaling pathways, such as the Wnt and the insulin/AKT signaling pathways.

Therefore, dysregulation of GSK-3 has been linked to various human diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases.Two related isoforms of GSK-3 exist in mammals, GSK-3α and -β, which share a sequence identity within their catalytic domains of 98%.

Beyond the catalytic domains they show significant differences. Although these isoforms are structurally related, they are not functionally equivalent, and one cannot compensate for loss of the other.

The debate on the respective contributions of the isoforms GSK-3α and GSK-3β on the pathogenesis of different diseases is ongoing.

Various studies indicate that the therapies of certain diseases benefit from specific targeting of GSK-3α and GSK-3β. GSK-3α was recently identified as a differentiation target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML is a hematopoietic malignancy defined by uncontrolled proliferation and disrupted myeloid differentiation. AML is the second most common form of leukemia in adults.

The current treatment of AML with conventional chemotherapy is very aggressive yet ineffective for the majority of patients with the disease.Thus, alternative targeted treatment approaches for AML are highly desirable. GSK-3α recently emerged as a potential target in this disease.

PAPER

The challenge for glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) inhibitor design lies in achieving high selectivity for one isoform over the other. The therapy of certain diseases, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), may require α-isoform specific targeting. The scorpion shaped GSK-3 inhibitors developed by our group achieved the highest GSK-3α selectivity reported so far but suffered from insufficient aqueous solubility. This work presents the solubility-driven optimization of our isoform-selective inhibitors using a scorpion shaped lead. Among 15 novel compounds, compound 27 showed high activity against GSK-3α/β with the highest GSK-3α selectivity reported to date. Compound 27 was profiled for bioavailability and toxicity in a zebrafish embryo phenotype assay. Selective GSK-3α targeting in AML cell lines was achieved with compound 27, resulting in a strong differentiation phenotype and colony formation impairment, confirming the potential of GSK-3α inhibition in AML therapy

1 H-indazole-3-carboxamide compounds acting as glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-33) inhibitors and to their use in the treatment of GSK-33-related disorders such as (i) insulin-resistance disorders; (ii) neurodegenerative diseases; (iii) mood disorders; (iv) schizophrenic disorders; (v) cancerous disorders; (vi) inflammation, (vii) substance abuse disorders; (viii) epilepsies; and (ix) neuropathic pain.

Protein kinases constitute a large family of structurally related enzymes, which transfer phosphate groups from high-energy donor molecules (such as adenosine triphosphate, ATP) to specific substrates, usually proteins. After phosphorylation, the substrate undergoes to a functional change, by which kinases can modulate various biological functions.

In general, protein kinases can be divided in several groups, according to the substrate that is phosphorylated. For example, serine/threonine kinase phosphorylates the hydroxyl group on the side chain of serine or threonine aminoacid.

Glycogen synthase kinases 3 (GSK-3) are constitutively active multifunctional enzymes, quite recently discovered, belonging to the serine/threonine kinases group.

Human GSK-3 are encoded by two different and independent genes, which leads to GSK-3a and GSK-33 proteins, with molecular weights of about 51 and 47 kDa, respectively. The two isoforms share nearly identical sequences in their kinase domains, while outside of the kinase domain, their sequences differ substantially (Benedetti et al., Neuroscience Letters, 2004, 368, 123-126). GSK-3a is a multifunctional protein serine kinase and GSK-33 is a serine-threonine kinase.

It has been found that GSK-33 is widely expressed in all tissues, with widespread expression in the adult brain, suggesting a fundamental role in neuronal signaling pathways (Grimes and Jope, Progress in Neurobiology, 2001, 65, 391-426). Interest in glycogen synthase kinases 3 arises from its role in various physiological pathways, such as, for example, metabolism, cell cycle, gene expression, embryonic development oncogenesis and neuroprotection (Geetha et al., British Journal Pharmacology, 2009, 156, 885-898).

GSK-33 was originally identified for its role in the regulation of glycogen synthase for the conversion of glucose to glycogen (Embi et al., Eur J Biochem, 1980, 107, 519-527). GSK-33 showed a high degree of specificity for glycogen synthase.

Type 2 diabetes was the first disease condition implicated with GSK- 3β, due to its negative regulation of several aspects of insulin signaling pathway. In this pathway 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK-1 ) activates PKB, which in turn inactivates GSK-33. This inactivation of GSK-33 leads to the dephosphorylation and activation of glycogen synthase, which helps glycogen synthesis (Cohen et al., FEBS Lett, 1997, 410, 3-10). Moreover, selective inhibitors of GSK-33 are expected to enhances insulin signaling in prediabetic insulin- resistant rat skeletal muscle, thus making GSK-33 an attractive target for the treatment of skeletal muscle insulin resistance in the pre-diabetic state (Dokken et al., Am J. Physiol. Endocrinol. Metab., 2005, 288, E1 188-E1 194).

GSK-33 was also found to be a potential drug target in others pathological conditions due to insulin-resistance disorders, such as syndrome X, obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (Ring DB et al., Diabetes, 2003, 52: 588-595).

It has been found that GSK-33 is involved in the abnormal phosphorylation of pathological tau in Alzheimer’s disease (Hanger et al., Neurosci. Lett, 1992, 147, 58-62; Mazanetz and Fischer, Nat Rev Drug Discov., 2007, 6, 464-479; Hong and Lee, J. Biol. Chem., 1997, 272, 19547- 19553). Moreover, it was proved that early activation of GSK-33, induced by apolipoprotein ApoE4 and β-amyloid, could lead to apoptosis and tau hyperphosphorylation (Cedazo-Minguez et al., Journal of Neurochemistry, 2003, 87, 1 152- 1 164). Among other aspect of Alzheimer’s disease, it was also reported the relevance of activation of GSK-33 at molecular level (Hernandez and Avila, FEBS Letters, 2008, 582, 3848-3854).

Moreover, it was demonstrated that GSK-33 is involved in the genesis and maintenance of neurodegenerative changes associated with Parkinson’s disease (Duka T. et al., The FASEB Journal, 2009; 23, 2820- 2830).

Accordingly to these experimental observations, inhibitors of GSK-33 may find applications in the treatment of the neuropathological consequences and the cognitive and attention deficits associated with tauopathies; Alzheimer’s disease; Parkinson’s disease; Huntington’s disease (the involvement of GSK-33 in such deficits and diseases is disclosed in Meijer L. et al., TRENDS Pharm Sci, 2004; 25, 471 -480); dementia, such as, but not limited to, vascular dementia, post-traumatic dementia, dementia caused by meningitis and the like; acute stroke; traumatic injuries; cerebrovascular accidents; brain and spinal cord trauma; peripheral neuropathies; retinopathies and glaucoma (the involvement of GSK-33 in such conditions is disclosed in WO 2010/109005).

The treatment of spinal neurodegenerative disorders, like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, spinal muscular atrophy and neurodegeneration due to spinal cord injury has been also suggested in several studies related to GSK-33 inhibition, such as, for example in Caldero J. et al., “Lithium prevents excitotoxic cell death of motoneurons in organotypic slice cultures of spinal cord”, Neuroscience. 2010 Feb 17;165(4):1353-69, Leger B. et al., “Atrogin-1 , MuRF1 , and FoXO, as well as phosphorylated GSK-3beta and 4E-BP1 are reduced in skeletal muscle of chronic spinal cord-injured patients”, Muscle Nerve, 2009 Jul; 40(1 ):69-78, and Galimberti D. et al., “GSK33 genetic variability in patients with Multiple Sclerosis”, Neurosci Lett. 201 1 Jun 1 5;497(1 ):46- 8. Furthermore, GSK-33 has been linked to the mood disorders, such as bipolar disorders, depression, and schizophrenia.

Inhibition of GSK-33 may be an important therapeutic target of mood stabilizers, and regulation of GSK-33 may be involved in the therapeutic effects of other drugs used in psychiatry. Dysregulated GSK-33 in mood disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia could have multiple effects that could impair neural plasticity, such as modulation of neuronal architecture, neurogenesis, gene expression and the ability of neurons to respond to stressful, potentially lethal conditions (Jope and Ron, Curr. Drug Targets, 2006, 7, 1421- 1434).

The role of GSK-33 in mood disorder was highlighted by the study of lithium and valproate (Chen et al., J. Neurochem., 1999, 72, 1327- 1330; Klein and Melton, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1996, 93, 8455-8459), both of which are GSK-33 inhibitors and are used to treat mood disorders. There are also existing reports from the genetic perspective supporting the role of GSK-33 in the disease physiology of bipolar disorder (Gould, Expert. Opin. Ther. Targets, 2006, 10, 377-392).

It was reported a decrease in AKT1 protein levels and its phosphorylation of GSK-33 at Serine-9 in the peripheral lymphocytes and brains of individuals with schizophrenia. Accordingly, this finding supports the proposal that alterations in AKT1 -GSK-33 signaling contribute to schizophrenia pathogenesis (Emamian et al., Nat Genet, 2004, 36, 131- 137).

Additionally, the role of GSK-33 in cancer is a well-accepted phenomenon.

The potential of small molecules that inhibit GSK-33 has been evidenced for some specific cancer treatments (Jia Luo, Cancer Letters, 2009, 273, 194-200). GSK-33 expression and activation are associated with prostate cancer progression (Rinnab et al., Neoplasia, 2008, 10, 624-633) and the inhibition of GSK3b was also proposed as specific target for pancreatic cancer (Garcea et al., Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2007, 7, 209-215) and ovarian cancer (Qi Cao et al., Cell Research, 2006, 16 671 -677). Acute inhibition of GSK-33 in colon-rectal cancer cells activates p53-dependent apoptosis and antagonizes tumor growth (Ghosh et al., Clin Cancer Res 2005, 1 1 , 4580-4588).

The identification of a functional role for GSK-33 in MLL-associated leukaemia suggests that GSK-33 inhibition may be a promising therapy that is selective for transformed cells that are dependent on HOX overexpression (Birch et al., Cancer Cell, 2010, 1 7, 529-531 ).

GSK-33 is involved in numerous inflammatory signalling pathways, for example, among others GSK-33 inhibition has been shown to induce secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-1 0. According to this finding, GSK-33 inhibitors could be useful to regulate suppression of inflammation (G. Klamer et al., Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2010, 17(26), 2873-2281, Wang et al., Cytokine, 2010, 53, 130-140).

GSK-33 inhibition has been also shown to attenuate cocaine-induced behaviors in mice. The administration of cocaine in mice pretreated with a GSK-33 inhibitor demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of GSK3 reduced both the acute behavioral responses to cocaine and the long- term neuroadaptations produced by repeated cocaine (Cocaine-induced hyperactivity and sensitization are dependent on GSK3, Miller JS et al. Neuropharmacology. 2009 Jun; 56(8):1 1 16-23, Epub 2009 Mar 27).

The role of GSK-33 in the development of several forms of epilepsies has been demonstrated in several studies, which suggest that inhibition of GSK-33 could be a pathway for the treatment of epilepsy (Novel glycogen synthase kinase 3 and ubiquitination pathways in progressive myoclonus epilepsy, Lohi H et al., Hum Mol Genet. 2005 Sep 15;14(18):2727-36 and Hyperphosphorylation and aggregation of Tau in laforin-deficient mice, an animal model for Lafora disease, Purl R et al., J Biol Chem. 2009 Aug 21 ;284(34) 22657-63). The relationship between GSK-33 inhibition and treatment of neuropathic pain has been demonstrated in Mazzardo-Martins L. et al., “Glycogen synthase kinase 3-specific inhibitor AR-A014418 decreases neuropathic pain in mice: evidence for the mechanisms of action”, Neuroscience. 2012 Dec 13;226, and Xiaoping Gu et al., “The Role of Akt/GSK33 Signaling Pathway in Neuropathic Pain in Mice”, Poster A525, Anesthesiology 2012 October 13-17, 2012 Washington.

A review on GSK-33, its function, its therapeutic potential and its possible inhibitors is given in “GSK-33: role in therapeutic landscape and development of modulators” (S. Phukan et al., British Journal of Pharmacology (2010), 160, 1- 19).

WO 2004/014864 discloses 1 H-indazole-3-carboxamide compounds as selective cyclin-dependant kinases (CDK) inhibitors. Such compounds are assumed to be useful in the treatment of cancer, through a mechanism mediated by CDK₂, and neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease, through a mechanism mediated by CDK₅, and as anti-viral and anti-fungine, through a mechanism mediated by CDK₇, CDK₈ and CDK₉.

Cyclin-dependant kinases (CDKs) are serine/threonine kinases, first discovered for their role in regulating the cell cycle. CDKs are also involved in regulating transcription, mRNA processing, and the differentiation of nerve cells. Such kinases activate only after their interaction and binding with regulatory subunits, namely cyclins.

Moreover, 1 H-indazole-3-carboxamide compounds were also described as analgesics in the treatment of chronic and neuropathic pain (see, for example, WO 2004/074275 and WO 2004/101 548) and as 5-HT₄ receptor antagonists, useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, central nervous system disorders and cardiovascular disorders (see, for example, WO 1994/101 74).

PRECLINICAL …..treating hypertension

Bristol Myers Squibb Co, INNOVATOR

Hypertension remains one of the largest unmet medical needs in the 21st century, especially when one considers that hypertension is the portent of future debilitating cardiovascular disease. While many drugs are available for treating the disease, approximately one-third of the hypertensive population is still not adequately treated. Of the more recent avenues explored for treating hypertension, disruption of the effects of either angiotensin II (AII) or endothelin-1 (ET-1) has shown promise. These endogenous vasoactive peptides are among the most potent vasoconstrictors and cell proliferative factors identified to date. AII is the effector molecule of the renin−angiotensin system (RAS), and a large number of AII receptor (AT₁) antagonists, including irbesartan , have been developed for treating hypertension

The intermediate biphenyl aldehyde (XI) is prepared by two related methods. 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzonitrile (I) is oxidized to aldehyde (II) via radical bromination with N-bromosuccinimide/benzoyl peroxide, followed by treatment with trimethylamine N-oxide. Suzuki coupling of aryl bromide (II) with the pinacol boronate (III) affords biphenyl (IV). After protection of the aldehyde moiety of (IV) as the corresponding ethylene ketal (V), its cyano group is reduced to aldehyde (VI) employing DIBAL in THF. Subsequent reduction of (VI) with NaBH4 leads to alcohol (VII), which is further converted into the benzyl bromide (VIII) by means of CBr4/PPh3. Bromide (VIII) is condensed with the spiro imidazolone (IX) in the presence of NaH, to produce (X). Then acidic hydrolysis of the ethylene ketal and SEM groups of (X) gives rise to the intermediate aldehyde (XI)

Alternatively, reduction of 4-bromo-3-formylbenzonitrile ethylene ketal (XII) by means of DIBAL leads to aldehyde (XIII), which is further reduced to alcohol (XIV) with NaBH4. After bromination of (XIV) with CBr4/PPh3, the resultant benzyl bromide (XV) is condensed with the spiro imidazolone (IX), yielding (XVI). Then, acidic ketal hydrolysis in (XVI) furnishes aldehyde (XVII). Suzuki coupling between aryl bromide (XVII) and boronic acid (XVIII) gives biphenyl (XIX). The SEM group of (XIX) is then removed under acidic conditions to provide (XI)

Reductive amination of the biphenyl aldehyde (XI) with 4-amino-2,2-dimethylbutanoic acid (XX) in the presence of NaBH(OAc)3 produces aminoacid (XXI). This is finally cyclized to the corresponding lactam by treatment with DIC

Coupling of 2-bromobenzenesulfonyl chloride (I) with 5-amino-3,4-dimethylisoxazole (II) affords sulfonamide (III), which is further protected as the N-methoxyethoxymethyl derivative (IV) employing MEM-chloride in DMF. Lithiation of bromosulfonamide (IV), followed by treatment with trimethyl borate and acidic work up leads to the boronic acid intermediate (V). This is then subjected to Suzuki coupling with 4-bromo-3-methylbenzaldehyde (VI) to yield the biphenyl adduct (VII). After reduction of aldehyde (VII) to the benzylic alcohol (VIII) with NaBH4, reaction with methanesulfonyl chloride and diisopropylethylamine gives rise to the mesylate (IX) (1-3).

Mesylate (IX) is condensed with ethyl 2-propyl-4-ethylimidazole-5-carboxylate (X) yielding (XI). Simultaneous ester group hydrolysis and MEM group deprotection under acidic conditions gives rise to the imidazolecarboxylic acid (XII). This is finally coupled with methylamine via activation with CDI to produce the desired N-methyl carboxamide (1-3).

BMS 248360

The ET_A receptor antagonist (2) (N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-4‘-(2-oxazolyl)-[1,1‘-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide, BMS-193884) shares the same biphenyl core as a large number of AT₁ receptor antagonists, including irbesartan (3). Thus, it was hypothesized that merging the structural elements of 2 with those of the biphenyl AT₁ antagonists (e.g., irbesartan) would yield a compound with dual activity for both receptors. This strategy led to the design, synthesis, and discovery of (15) (4‘-[(2-butyl-4-oxo-1,3-diazaspiro[4.4]non-1-en-3-yl)methyl]-N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-2‘-[(3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidinyl)methyl]-[1,1‘-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide, BMS-248360) as a potent and orally active dual antagonist of both AT₁ and ET_Areceptors. Compound 15 represents a new approach to treating hypertension.

GSK2334470 Structure

GSK2334470 is a potent and selective PDK1 (3-Phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase-1) inhibitor. GSK2334470 blocks the phosphorylation of known PDK1 substrates, but surprisingly find that the potency and kinetics of inhibition vary for different PDK1 targets. GSK2334470 subsequent activation of PDK1 substrates S6K1, SGK and RSK in HEK293, U87 and mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines.

GSK2334470 inhibited activation of an Akt1 mutant lacking the PH domain (pleckstrin homology domain) more potently than full-length Akt1, suggesting that GSK2334470 is more effective at inhibiting PDK1 substrates that are activated in the cytosol rather than at the plasma membrane. GSK2334470 also suppressed T-loop phosphorylation and activation of RSK2 (p90 ribosomal S6 kinase 2), another PDK1 target activated by the ERK (extracellular-signal-regulated kinase) pathway.

GSK2334470 is a highly specific and potent inhibitor of PDK1 (3-Phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase-1) with IC50 of 10 nM. It does not suppress activity on other 96 kinases, including Aurora, ROCK, p38 MAPK and PI3K. GSK2334470 has been used in cells to ablate T-loop phosphorylation and activate SGK, S6K1 and RSK as well as suppress the activation of Akt.

Methyl (3S,6f?)-6-methyl-3-piperidinecarboxylate L-(+)-tartaric acid salt

L-(+)-Tartaric acid salt A suspension of L-(+)-tartaric acid (39 g, 260 mmol, 1.05 equiv) in IPA (200 ml.) and water (13 mL) water was heated in a water bath at 60⁰C until all dissolved. To this hot stirred solution was added neat racemic methyl (3S,6R)-6-methyl-3-piperidinecarboxylate (39 g, 248 mmol), followed by addition of 25 mL of IPA rinse. The resulting mixture was heated to 60 ⁰C, resulting in a clear solution, and then cooled to room temperature, while the hot water bath was removed. This hot solution was seeded with a sample of methyl (3S,6R)-6-methyl-3-piperidinecarboxylate L-(+)-tartaric acid salt that had a chiral purity of 98% ee, and aged at ambient temperature (with the water bath removed) for 20 minutes. The mixture turned into an oily texture with seeds still present. To the mixture was added 5 mL of water, and heated in the warm water bath at 43 ⁰C. The mixture became clear with the seeds still present. The heating was stopped, and the mixture was stirred in the warm water bath. After 20 minutes, the mixture gradually turned into a paste. After another 10 min, the water bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for another 1 hour. The resulting paste was filtered. The cake was washed with 50 mL of IPA, giving 62 g of wet solids. This cake was taken up in 150 mL of IPA and 8 mL of water, and stirred as a slurry while being heated in a water bath to 60 ⁰C (internal temp 55 ⁰C) for 5 minutes. The heating was turned off while the mixture was still stirred in the warm water bath. After 30 min, the mixture was filtered. The cake was washed with 100 mL of IPA. Drying under house vacuum at room temperature for 48 hours gave 46.7 g of solids. An analytical sample was derivatised to the corresponding N-Cbz derivative (as in the preparation of intermediate 1 11 ), which was determined by chiral HPLC (methods used to analyze the resolution of intermediate 11 1 above) to have 85% ee. This material was taken up in IPA (420 mL) and water (38 mL) as a suspension. The mixture was heated in a water bath to 65 ⁰C, at which time the mixture became a clear solution. The heating bath was removed. The mixture was seeded and aged at ambient temp for 20 hours. The solids formed were filtered, and washed with 100 mL of IPA. The solids collected were dried under house vacuum at room temperature for 24 h, and then under vacuum at room temperature for another 24 hours to give 28.5 g of the title compound. An analytical sample was converted to the N-Cbz derivative. The ee was determined to be 97.7%. LC-MS (ES) m/z = 158 [M+H]⁺.

To this stirred solution was added via addition funnel a solution of 4,6-dichloro-2-(methylsulfonyl)pyrimidine (25 g, 1 10 mmol) in EtOAc (250 ml.) portionwise over a 25 minutes period. The temp was between 5-10 ⁰C. After completion of addition, the ice bath was removed, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at ambient temperature. LCMS showed conversion complete. The suspension was filtered, and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between water (100 ml.) and EtOAc (450 ml_). The organic was washed with brine, dried over MgSO₄, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give white solids, which were triturated in 150 ml. of CH₂CI₂. These solids were collected by filtration and washing with cold CH₂CI₂ (50 ml_). Drying under house vacuum at room temperature for 20 hours, and then high vacuum at room temperature for 3 hours gave 9.31 g of the title compound as a solid. LC-MS (ES) m/z = 179 [M+H]⁺.

Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1(PDK1) is a master regulator of the AGC family of kinases and an integral component of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. As this pathway is among the most commonly deregulated across all cancers, a selective inhibitor of PDK1 might have utility as an anticancer agent. Herein we describe our lead optimization of compound 1toward highly potent and selective PDK1 inhibitors via a structure-based design strategy. The most potent and selective inhibitors demonstrated submicromolar activity as measured by inhibition of phosphorylation of PDK1 substrates as well as antiproliferative activity against a subset of AML cell lines. In addition, reduction of phosphorylation of PDK1 substrates was demonstrated in vivo in mice bearing OCl-AML2 xenografts. These observations demonstrate the utility of these molecules as tools to further delineate the biology of PDK1 and the potential pharmacological uses of a PDK1 inhibitor.
