Title: Identification of a 5-[3-phenyl-(2-cyclic-ether)-methylether]-4-aminopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine series of IGF-1R inhibitors. Author: Stauffer F, Cowan-Jacob SW, Scheufler C, Furet P. Journal: Bioorg Med Chem Lett; 2016 Apr 15; 26(8):2065-7. PubMed ID: 26951750. Abstract: We report structure-guided modifications of the benzyloxy substituent of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) inhibitor NVP-AEW541. This chemical group has been shown to confer selectivity against other protein kinases but at the expense of a metabolism liability. X-ray crystallography has revealed that the benzyloxy moiety interacts with a lysine cation of the IGF-1R kinase domain via its ether function and its aromatic π-system and is nicely embedded in an induced hydrophobic pocket. We show that 1,4-diethers displaying an adequate hydrophobic and constrained shape are advantageous benzyloxy replacements. A single digit nanomolar inhibitor (compound 20, IC50=8.9 nM) was identified following this approach.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
