[PMID: 37438819 DOI: 10.1186/s13065-023-00981-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutation mechanisms are among the most common genetic abnormalities detected in about 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. These mutations are accompanied by poor clinical response, although all these progressions in identifying and interpreting biological AML bio-targets. Several small structured FLT3 inhibitors have been ameliorated to struggle against AML. Despite all these developments regarding these inhibitors, the Overall survival rate is about five years or more in less than one-third of diagnosed AML patients. Midostaurin was the first FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitor in 2017 in the United States and Europe for AML remedy. Next, Gilteritinib was an FDA-approved FLT3 inhibitor in 2018 and in the next year, Quizartinib was approved an as FLT3 inhibitor in Japan. Interestingly, indole-based motifs had risen as advantaged scaffolds with unusual multiple kinase inhibitory activity. This review summarises indole-based FLT3 inhibitors and related scaffolds, including FDA-approved drugs, clinical candidates, and other bioactive compounds. Furthermore, their chemotypes, mechanism of action, and interaction mode over both wild and mutated FLT3 target proteins had been judgmentally discussed. Therefore, this review could offer inspiring future perspectives into the finding of new FLT3-related AML therapies.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor-2 (VEGFR-2) plays a pivotal role in tumor angiogenesis. Herein, a library of novel 2-(4-(1H-indazol-6-yl)-1H-pyrazol -1-yl)acetamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as VEGFR-2 inhibitors based on scaffold hopping strategy. These compounds exhibited the excellent inhibitory in both VEGFR-2 and tumor cells proliferation. Especially, compound W13 possessed potent VEGFR-2 inhibition with IC50 = 1.6 nM and anti-proliferation against HGC-27 tumor cells with IC50 = 0.36 ± 0.11 μM, as well as less toxicity against normal GES-1 cells with IC50 = 187.46 ± 10.13 μM. Moreover, W13 obviously inhibited colony formation, migration and invasion of HGC-27 cells by adjusting the expression of MMP-9 and E-cadherin, and induced HGC-27 cells apoptosis by increasing ROS production and regulating the expression of apoptotic proteins. Furthermore, W13 blocked the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway in HGC-27 cells. In addition, anti-angiogenesis of W13 was proved by inhibiting tube formation and the expression of p-VEGFR-2 in HUVEC cells. All the results demonstrated that W13 could be developing as a promising anticancer agent for gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
Background:
Flt3 is an oncogenic kinase involved in different leukemias. It is most
prominently associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Flt3-specific inhibitors have shown
promising results in interfering with AML.
Methods:
The crystallographic structures of two inhibitors complexed within Flt3, namely, quizartinib
and F6M, were used to guide the synthesis of new sulfonamide-based Flt3 inhibitors.
Results:
One of the prepared compounds showed low micromolar anti-Flt3 bioactivity, and interestingly,
low micromolar bioactivity against the related oncogenic kinase VEGFR2.
Conclusion:
Sulfonamides were successfully used as privileged scaffolds for the synthesis of
novel Flt3 inhibitors of micromolar potencies.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRα) is considered as a promising target for the treatment of fibrotic diseases. In this study, two types of pharmacophore model, which generated by ligand-based and receptor-based method, were put forward to identify novel chemical entities as PDGFRα inhibitors. It was found that some pharmacophore characteristics established by the two approaches overlap each other. In order to elucidate detailed interactions, representative molecules were selected to predict the conformations and binding modes of the molecules by molecular docking method. The calculation results of binding free energy illustrated that the van der Waals energy and nonpolar solvation were the most prominent contribution to the interactions between the inhibitors and PDGFRα. To further verify the accuracy of the docking results and the stability of the complexes system, the binding modes of two potent PDGFRα inhibitors were examined by 100 ns molecular dynamics simulations. Herein, we reported the basic structural requirements of PDGFRα inhibitors for the first time through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations. Subsequently, the two pharmacophore models were used for virtual screening to query potential active molecules from Food and Drug Administration approved database. The hit molecules here might provide additional scaffolds for further optimization of PDGFRα inhibitors.

Abstract
![]()
The
Mediator complex-associated cyclin-dependent kinase CDK8 has
been implicated in human disease, particularly in colorectal cancer
where it has been reported as a putative oncogene. Here we report
the discovery of 109 (CCT251921), a potent, selective,
and orally bioavailable inhibitor of CDK8 with equipotent affinity
for CDK19. We describe a structure-based design approach leading to
the discovery of a 3,4,5-trisubstituted-2-aminopyridine series and
present the application of physicochemical property analyses to successfully
reduce in vivo metabolic clearance, minimize transporter-mediated
biliary elimination while maintaining acceptable aqueous solubility.
Compound 109 affords the optimal compromise of in vitro
biochemical, pharmacokinetic, and physicochemical properties and is
suitable for progression to animal models of cancer.

Abstract
The synthesis and Pim kinase inhibition potency of a new series of pyrrolo[2,3-g]indazole derivatives is described. The results obtained in this preliminary structure-activity relationship study pointed out that sub-micromolar Pim-1 and Pim-3 inhibitory potencies could be obtained in this series, more particularly for compounds 10 and 20, showing that pyrrolo[2,3-g]indazole scaffold could be used for the development of new potent Pim kinase inhibitors. Molecular modeling experiments were also performed to study the binding mode of these compounds in Pim-3 ATP-binding pocket.
