Kinase Inhibition via Small Molecule-Induced Intramolecular Protein Cross-Linking.
Angewandte Chemie 2024 May 3
Remarkable progress has been made in the development of cysteine-targeted covalent inhibitors. In kinase drug discovery, covalent inhibitors capable of targeting other nucleophilic residues (i.e. lysine, or K) has emerged in recent years. Besides a highly conserved catalytic lysine, almost all human protein kinases possess an equally conserved glutamate/aspartate (e.g. E/D) that forms a K-E/D salt bridge within the enzyme active-site. Electrophilic ynamides were previously used as effective peptide coupling reagents and to develop E/D-targeting covalent protein inhibitors/probes. In the present study, we report the first ynamide-based small-molecule inhibitors capable of inducing intramolecular cross-linking of various protein kinases, leading to subsequent irreversible inhibition of kinase activity. Our strategy took advantage of the close distance between the highly conserved catalytic K and E/D residues in a targeted kinase, thus providing a conceptually general approach to achieve irreversible kinase inhibition with high specificity and desirable cellular potency. Finally, this ynamide-facilitated, ligand-induced mechanism leading to intramolecular kinase cross-linking and inhibition was unequivocally established by using recombinant ABL kinase as a representative.
