New Dual Inhibitors of Tyrosyl-DNA Phosphodiesterase 1 and 2 Based on Deoxycholic Acid: Design, Synthesis, Cytotoxicity, and Molecular Modeling. Molecules 2024; 29:581. [PMID: 38338326 PMCID: PMC10856758 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030581] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Deoxycholic acid derivatives containing various heterocyclic functional groups at C-3 on the steroid scaffold were designed and synthesized as promising dual tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 and 2 (TDP1 and TDP2) inhibitors, which are potential targets to potentiate topoisomerase poison antitumor therapy. The methyl esters of DCA derivatives with benzothiazole or benzimidazole moieties at C-3 demonstrated promising inhibitory activity in vitro against TDP1 with IC50 values in the submicromolar range. Furthermore, methyl esters 4d-e, as well as their acid counterparts 3d-e, inhibited the phosphodiesterase activity of both TDP1 and TDP2. The combinations of compounds 3d-e and 4d-e with low-toxic concentrations of antitumor drugs topotecan and etoposide showed significantly greater cytotoxicity than the compounds alone. The docking of the derivatives into the binding sites of TDP1 and TDP2 predicted plausible binding modes of the DCA derivatives.

Shimizu N, Hamada Y, Morozumi R, Yamamoto J, Iwai S, Sugiyama KI, Ide H, Tsuda M. Repair of topoisomerase 1-induced DNA damage by tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) is dependent on its magnesium binding. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104988. [PMID: 37392847 PMCID: PMC10407441 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104988] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Topoisomerases are enzymes that relax DNA supercoiling during replication and transcription. Camptothecin, a topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) inhibitor, and its analogs trap TOP1 at the 3'-end of DNA as a DNA-bound intermediate, resulting in DNA damage that can kill cells. Drugs with this mechanism of action are widely used to treat cancers. It has previously been shown that tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) repairs TOP1-induced DNA damage generated by camptothecin. In addition, tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) plays critical roles in repairing topoisomerase 2 (TOP2)-induced DNA damage at the 5'-end of DNA and in promoting the repair of TOP1-induced DNA damage in the absence of TDP1. However, the catalytic mechanism by which TDP2 processes TOP1-induced DNA damage has not been elucidated. In this study, we found that a similar catalytic mechanism underlies the repair of TOP1- and TOP2-induced DNA damage by TDP2, with Mg2+-TDP2 binding playing a role in both repair mechanisms. We show chain-terminating nucleoside analogs are incorporated into DNA at the 3'-end and abort DNA replication to kill cells. Furthermore, we found that Mg2+-TDP2 binding also contributes to the repair of incorporated chain-terminating nucleoside analogs. Overall, these findings reveal the role played by Mg2+-TDP2 binding in the repair of both 3'- and 5'-blocking DNA damage.

Abstract
A series of deoxycholic acid (DCA) amides containing benzyl ether groups on the steroid core were tested against the tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) and 2 (TDP2) enzymes. In addition, 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized to study the linker influence between a para-bromophenyl moiety and the steroid scaffold. The DCA derivatives demonstrated promising inhibitory activity against TDP1 with IC50 in the submicromolar range. Furthermore, the amides and the 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives inhibited the TDP2 enzyme but at substantially higher concentration. Tryptamide 5 and para-bromoanilide 8 derivatives containing benzyloxy substituent at the C-3 position and non-substituted hydroxy group at C-12 on the DCA scaffold inhibited both TDP1 and TDP2 as well as enhanced the cytotoxicity of topotecan in non-toxic concentration in vitro. According to molecular modeling, ligand 5 is anchored into the catalytic pocket of TDP1 by one hydrogen bond to the backbone of Gly458 as well as by π–π stacking between the indolyl rings of the ligand and Tyr590, resulting in excellent activity. It can therefore be concluded that these derivatives contribute to the development of specific TDP1 and TDP2 inhibitors for adjuvant therapy against cancer in combination with topoisomerase poisons.

Radiosensitizer Effect of β-Apopicropodophyllin against Colorectal Cancer via Induction of Reactive Oxygen Species and Apoptosis. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222413514. [PMID: 34948311 PMCID: PMC8708374 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222413514] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
β-apopicropodophyllin (APP), a derivative of podophyllotoxin (PPT), has been identified as a potential anti-cancer drug. This study tested whether APP acts as an anti-cancer drug and can sensitize colorectal cancer (CRC) cells to radiation treatment. APP exerted an anti-cancer effect against the CRC cell lines HCT116, DLD-1, SW480, and COLO320DM, with IC50 values of 7.88 nM, 8.22 nM, 9.84 nM, and 7.757 nM, respectively, for the induction of DNA damage. Clonogenic and cell counting assays indicated that the combined treatment of APP and γ-ionizing radiation (IR) showed greater retardation of cell growth than either treatment alone, suggesting that APP sensitized CRC cells to IR. Annexin V–propidium iodide (PI) assays and immunoblot analysis showed that the combined treatment of APP and IR increased apoptosis in CRC cells compared with either APP or IR alone. Results obtained from the xenograft experiments also indicated that the combination of APP and IR enhanced apoptosis in the in vivo animal model. Apoptosis induction by the combined treatment of APP and IR resulted from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inhibition of ROS by N-acetylcysteine (NAC) restored cell viability and decreased the induction of apoptosis by APP and IR in CRC cells. Taken together, these results indicate that a combined treatment of APP and IR might promote apoptosis by inducing ROS in CRC cells.

Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) is a recently discovered DNA repair enzyme that can repair topoisomerase 2-mediated DNA damage, resulting in cancer cell resistance. In this study, two compounds, robustadial A and B, were isolated from a fraction of the ethyl acetate extract of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. fruits based on TDP2 inhibition screening. The biological experiments indicated that robustadial A and B have TDP2 inhibitory activity with EC50 values of 17 and 42 μM, respectively, but no tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 inhibition at 100 μM. Robustadial A showed significant synergistic effects with the anticancer drug etoposide in four human cancer cell lines, non-small cell lung cancer cell line (A549), prostate cancer cell line (DU145), breast cancer cell line (MCF-7), colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (HCT-116), and chicken lymphoma cell line (DT40), and chicken lymphoma cell line complementation with human TDP2 (DT40 hTDP2) with combination index values ranging from 0.21 to 0.74. This work will facilitate future efforts for the development of robustadial A-based TDP2 selective inhibitors.

Abstract
Based on our previous study on the development of the furoquinolinedione and isoxazoloquinolinedione TDP2 inhibitors, the further structure-activity relationship (SAR) was studied in this work. A series of furoquinolinedione and isoxazoloquinolinedione derivatives were synthesized and tested for enzyme inhibitions. Enzyme-based assays indicated that isoxazoloquinolinedione derivatives selectively showed high TDP2 inhibitory activity at sub-micromolar range, as well as furoquinolinedione derivatives at low micromolar range. The most potent 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)isoxazolo[4,5-g]quinoline-4,9-dione (70) showed TDP2 inhibitory activity with IC50 of 0.46 ± 0.15 μM. This work will facilitate future efforts for the discovery of isoxazoloquinolinedione TDP2 selective inhibitors.

Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) repairs topoisomerase II (Top2) mediated DNA damages, including double-strand breaks (DSBs) that underpin the anticancer mechanism of clinical TOP2 poisons such as etoposide (ETP). Inhibition of TDP2 could sensitize cancer cells toward TOP2 poisons by increasing Top2 cleavage complex. We have previously identified isoquinoline-1,3-dione as a selective inhibitor type of TDP2. However, the reported structure-activity relationship (SAR) was limited to simple substitutions on the isoquinoline-1,3-dione core. Herein, we report the extended SAR consisting of the synthesis and testing of a total of 50 analogs featuring N-2 and C-4 modifications. Major SAR observations include the loss of potency upon N-2 substitution, the lack of inhibition with C-4 enamine analogs (subtype 11), or any other C-4 modifications (subtypes 13-15) except for the benzylidene substitution (subtype 12), where eight analogs showed low micromolar potency. The best analog, 12q, inhibited TDP2 with an IC50 of 4.8 μM. Molecular modeling was performed to help understand the observed SAR trends. Overall, these SAR observations which could significantly benefit future work on the design of improved TDP2 inhibitors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Past research has suggested that reading disability is a complex disorder involving genetic and environment contributions, as well as gene-gene and gene-environment interaction, but to date little is known about the underlying mechanisms. METHOD Using the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we assessed the contributions of genetic, demographic, and environmental variables on case-control status using machine learning. We investigated the functional interactions between genes using pathway and network analysis. RESULTS Our results support a systems approach to studying the etiology of reading disability with many genes (e.g., RAPGEF2, KIAA0319, DLC1) and biological pathways (e.g., neuron migration, positive regulation of dendrite regulation, nervous system development) interacting with each other. We found that single nucleotide variants within genes often had opposite effects and that enriched biological pathways were mediated by neuron migration. We also identified behavioral (i.e., receptive language, nonverbal intelligence, and vocabulary), demographic (i.e., mother's highest education), and environmental (i.e., birthweight) factors that influenced case-control status when accounting for genetic information. DISCUSSION The behavioral and demographic factors were suggested to be protective against reading disability status, while birthweight conveyed risk. We provided supporting evidence that reading disability has a complex biological and environmental etiology and that there may be a shared genetic and neurobiological architecture for reading (dis)ability.

Abstract
Topoisomerase I (TOP1) resolves DNA topology during replication and transcription. The enzyme forms an intermediate TOP1 cleavage complex (TOP1cc) through transient TOP1-DNA-protein crosslinks. Camptothecin is a frontline anticancer agent that freezes this reaction intermediate, leading to the generation of irreversible TOP1ccs that act as 3'-blocking lesions. It is widely accepted that TOP1cc is repaired via a two-step pathway involving proteasomal degradation of TOP1cc to the crosslinked peptide, followed by removal of the TOP1cc-derived peptide from DNA by tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1). In the present study, we developed an assay system to estimate repair kinetics of TOP1cc separately in the first and second steps, using monoclonal antibodies against the TOP1 protein and the TOP1 catalytic site peptide-DNA complex, respectively. Although TDP1-deficient (TDP1-/-) TK6 cells had normal kinetics of the first step, a delay in the kinetics of the second step was observed relative to that in wild-type cells. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) reportedly promotes the repair of TOP1-induced DNA damage in the absence of TDP1. The present assays additionally demonstrated that TDP2 promotes the second, but not the first, step of TOP1cc repair in the absence of TDP1. We also analyzed sensitivities of TK6 cells with deficiencies in TDP1 and/or TDP2 to agents that produce 3' -blocking lesions. These experiments showed that TDP1-/-TDP2-/- cells were more sensitive to the agents Azidothymidine (zidovudine), Cytarabine, Abacavir, Gemcitabine, and Trifluridine than TDP1-/- or TDP2-/- cells. Taken together, our findings confirm the roles of TDP2 in the repair of 3'-blocking lesions.

Abstract
Topoisomerases are essential enzymes solving DNA topological problems such as supercoils, knots and catenanes that arise from replication, transcription, chromatin remodeling and other nucleic acid metabolic processes. They are also the targets of widely used anticancer drugs (e.g. topotecan, irinotecan, enhertu, etoposide, doxorubicin, mitoxantrone) and fluoroquinolone antibiotics (e.g. ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin). Topoisomerases manipulate DNA topology by cleaving one DNA strand (TOP1 and TOP3 enzymes) or both in concert (TOP2 enzymes) through the formation of transient enzyme-DNA cleavage complexes (TOPcc) with phosphotyrosyl linkages between DNA ends and the catalytic tyrosyl residue of the enzymes. Failure in the self-resealing of TOPcc results in persistent TOPcc (which we refer it to as topoisomerase DNA-protein crosslinks (TOP-DPC)) that threaten genome integrity and lead to cancers and neurodegenerative diseases. The cell prevents the accumulation of topoisomerase-mediated DNA damage by excising TOP-DPC and ligating the associated breaks using multiple pathways conserved in eukaryotes. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterases (TDP1 and TDP2) cleave the tyrosyl-DNA bonds whereas structure-specific endonucleases such as Mre11 and XPF (Rad1) incise the DNA phosphodiester backbone to remove the TOP-DPC along with the adjacent DNA segment. The proteasome and metalloproteases of the WSS1/Spartan family typify proteolytic repair pathways that debulk TOP-DPC to make the peptide-DNA bonds accessible to the TDPs and endonucleases. The purpose of this review is to summarize our current understanding of how the cell excises TOP-DPC and why, when and where the cell recruits one specific mechanism for repairing topoisomerase-mediated DNA damage, acquiring resistance to therapeutic topoisomerase inhibitors and avoiding genomic instability, cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
The compaction of DNA and the continuous action of DNA transactions, including transcription and DNA replication, create complex DNA topologies that require Type IIA Topoisomerases, which resolve DNA topological strain and control genome dynamics. The human TOP2 enzymes catalyze their reactions via formation of a reversible covalent enzyme DNA-protein crosslink, the TOP2 cleavage complex (TOP2cc). Spurious interactions of TOP2 with DNA damage, environmental toxicants and chemotherapeutic "poisons" perturbs the TOP2 reaction cycle, leading to an accumulation of DNA-protein crosslinks, and ultimately, genomic instability and cell death. Emerging evidence shows that TOP2-DNA protein crosslink (DPC) repair entails multiple strand break repair activities, such as removal of the poisoned TOP2 protein and rejoining of the DNA ends through homologous recombination (HR) or non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Herein, we discuss the molecular mechanisms of TOP2-DPC resolution, with specific emphasis on the recently uncovered ZATTZnf451-licensed TDP2-catalyzed TOP2-DPC reversal mechanism.

Novel deazaflavin tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) inhibitors. DNA Repair (Amst) 2019; 85:102747.

Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) is a DNA repair enzyme that removes 5'-phosphotyrosyl blockages resulting from topoisomerase II (TOP2)-DNA cleavage complexes trapped by TOP2 inhibitors. TDP2 is a logical target for the development of therapeutics to complement existing treatments based on inhibition of TOP2. There is, however, no TDP2 inhibitor in clinical development at present. Of the reported TDP2 inhibitors, the deazaflavins are the most promising chemical class centered around the lead compound SV-5-153. Recently we reported new subtypes derived within the deazaflavin family with improved membrane permeability properties. In this work we characterize two representative analogues from two new deazaflavin subtypes based on their biochemical TDP2 inhibitory potency and drug-likeness. We demonstrate that the ZW-1288 derivative represents a promising direction for the development of deazaflavins as therapeutic agents. ZW-1288 exhibits potent inhibitory activity at low nanomolar concentrations against recombinant and cellular human TDP2 with profile similar to that of the parent analog SV-5-153 based on high resistance against murine TDP2 and human TDP2 mutated at residue L313H. While expressing weak cytotoxicity on its own, ZW-1288 potentiates the clinical TOP2 inhibitors etoposide (ETP) and mitoxantrone in human prostate DU145 and CCRF-CEM leukemia and chicken lymphoma DT40 cells while not impacting the activity of the topoisomerase I (TOP1) inhibitor camptothecin or the PARP inhibitor olaparib. ZW-1288 increases the uptake of ETP to a lesser extent than SV-5-153 and remained active in TDP2 knockout cells indicating that the deazaflavin TDP2 inhibitors have additional cellular effects that will have to be taken into account for their further development as TDP2 inhibitors.

Abstract
DNA topoisomerases are required to resolve DNA topological stress. Despite this essential role, abortive topoisomerase activity generates aberrant protein-linked DNA breaks, jeopardising genome stability. Here, to understand the genomic distribution and mechanisms underpinning topoisomerase-induced DNA breaks, we map Top2 DNA cleavage with strand-specific nucleotide resolution across the S. cerevisiae and human genomes-and use the meiotic Spo11 protein to validate the broad applicability of this method to explore the role of diverse topoisomerase family members. Our data characterises Mre11-dependent repair in yeast and defines two strikingly different fractions of Top2 activity in humans: tightly localised CTCF-proximal, and broadly distributed transcription-proximal, the latter correlated with gene length and expression. Moreover, single nucleotide accuracy reveals the influence primary DNA sequence has upon Top2 cleavage-distinguishing sites likely to form canonical DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) from those predisposed to form strand-biased DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) induced by etoposide (VP16) in vivo.

Abstract
Tyrosyl–DNA Phosphodiesterases 1 (TDP1) and 2 (TDP2) are eukaryotic enzymes that clean-up after aberrant topoisomerase activity. While TDP1 hydrolyzes phosphotyrosyl peptides emanating from trapped topoisomerase I (Top I) from the 3′ DNA ends, topoisomerase 2 (Top II)-induced 5′-phosphotyrosyl residues are processed by TDP2. Even though the canonical functions of TDP1 and TDP2 are complementary, they exhibit little structural or sequence similarity. Homozygous mutations in genes encoding these enzymes lead to the development of severe neurodegenerative conditions due to the accumulation of transcription-dependent topoisomerase cleavage complexes underscoring the biological significance of these enzymes in the repair of topoisomerase–DNA lesions in the nervous system. TDP1 can promiscuously process several blocked 3′ ends generated by DNA damaging agents and nucleoside analogs in addition to hydrolyzing 3′-phosphotyrosyl residues. In addition, deficiency of these enzymes causes hypersensitivity to anti-tumor topoisomerase poisons. Thus, TDP1 and TDP2 are promising therapeutic targets and their inhibitors are expected to significantly synergize the effects of current anti-tumor therapies including topoisomerase poisons and other DNA damaging agents. This review covers the structural aspects, biology and regulation of these enzymes, along with ongoing developments in the process of discovering safe and effective TDP inhibitors.

Abstract
Tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) facilitates the repair of topoisomerase II (TOP2)-linked DNA double-strand breaks and, as a consequence, is required for cellular resistance to TOP2 "poisons". Recently, a deazaflavin series of compounds were identified as potent inhibitors of TDP2, in vitro. Here, however, we show that while some deazaflavins can induce cellular sensitivity to the TOP2 poison etoposide, they do so independently of TDP2 status. Consistent with this, both the cellular level of etoposide-induced TOP2 cleavage complexes and the intracellular concentration of etoposide was increased by incubation with deazaflavin, suggesting an impact of these compounds on etoposide uptake/efflux. In addition, deazaflavin failed to increase the level of TOP2 cleavage complexes or sensitivity induced by m-AMSA, which is a different class of TOP2 poison to which TDP2-defective cells are also sensitive. In conclusion, while deazaflavins are potent inhibitors of TDP2 in vitro, their limited cell permeability and likely interference with etoposide influx/efflux limits their utility in cells.

Abstract
Topoisomerase II (TOP2) poisons as anticancer drugs work by trapping TOP2 cleavage complexes (TOP2cc) to generate DNA damage. Repair of such damage by tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) could render cancer cells resistant to TOP2 poisons. Inhibiting TDP2, thus, represents an attractive mechanism-based chemosensitization approach. Currently known TDP2 inhibitors lack cellular potency and/or permeability. We report herein two novel subtypes of the deazaflavin TDP2 inhibitor core. By introducing an additional phenyl ring to the N-10 phenyl ring (subtype 11) or to the N-3 site of the deazaflavin scaffold (subtype 12), we have generated novel analogues with considerably improved biochemical potency and/or permeability. Importantly, many analogues of both subtypes, particularly compounds 11a, 11e, 12a, 12b, and 12h, exhibited much stronger cancer cell sensitizing effect than the best previous analogue 4a toward the treatment with etoposide, suggesting that these analogues could serve as effective cellular probes.

Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) repairs topoisomerase II (TOP2) mediated DNA damages and causes cellular resistance to clinically used TOP2 poisons. Inhibiting TDP2 can potentially sensitize cancer cells toward TOP2 poisons. Commercial compound P10A10, to which the structure was assigned as 7-phenyl triazolopyrimidine analogue 6a, was previously identified as a TDP2 inhibitor hit in our virtual and fluorescence-based biochemical screening campaign. We report herein that the hit validation through resynthesis and structure elucidation revealed the correct structure of P10A10 (Chembridge ID 7236827) to be the 5-phenyl triazolopyrimidine regioisomer 7a. Subsequent structure-activity relationship (SAR) via the synthesis of a total of 47 analogues of both the 5-phenyl triazolopyrimidine scaffold (7) and its bioisosteric triazolopyridine scaffold (17) identified four derivatives (7a, 17a, 17e, and 17z) with significant TDP2 inhibition (IC50 < 50 µM), with 17z showing excellent cell permeability and no cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Nocturnin (NOCT) helps the circadian clock to adjust metabolism according to day and night activity. NOCT is upregulated in early evening and it has been proposed that NOCT serves as a deadenylase for metabolic enzyme mRNAs. We present a 2.7-Å crystal structure of the catalytic domain of human NOCT. Our structure shows that NOCT has a close overall similarity to CCR4 deadenylase family members, PDE12 and CNOT6L, and to a DNA repair enzyme TDP2. All the key catalytic residues present in PDE12, CNOT6L and TDP2 are conserved in NOCT and have the same conformations. However, we observe substantial differences in the surface properties of NOCT, an unexpectedly narrow active site pocket, and conserved structural elements in the vicinity of the catalytic center, which are unique to NOCT and absent in the deadenylases PDE12/CNOT6L. Moreover, we show that in contrast to human PDE12 and CNOT6L, NOCT is completely inactive against poly-A RNA. Our work thus reveals the structure of an intriguing circadian protein and suggests that NOCT has considerable differences from the related deadenylases, which may point to a unique cellular function of this enzyme.

Abstract
The DNA topoisomerase enzymes are essential to cell function and are found ubiquitously in all domains of life. The various topoisomerase enzymes perform a wide range of functions related to the maintenance of DNA topology during DNA replication, and transcription are the targets of a wide range of antimicrobial and cancer chemotherapeutic agents. Natural product-derived agents, such as the camptothecin, anthracycline, and podophyllotoxin drugs, have seen broad use in the treatment of many types of cancer. Selective targeting of the topoisomerase enzymes for cancer treatment continues to be a highly active area of basic and clinical research. The focus of this review will be to summarize the current state of the art with respect to clinically used topoisomerase inhibitors for targeted cancer treatment and to discuss the pharmacology and chemistry of promising new topoisomerase inhibitors in clinical and pre-clinical development.

Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) is a recently discovered enzyme specifically repairing topoisomerase II (TOP2)-mediated DNA damage. It has been shown that inhibition of TDP2 synergize with TOP2 inhibitors. Herein, we report the discovery of the furoquinolinedione chemotype as a suitable skeleton for the development of selective TDP2 inhibitors. Compound 1 was identified as a TDP2 inhibitor as a result of screening our in-house compound library for compounds selective for TDP2 vs. TDP1. Further SAR studies provide several selective TDP2 inhibitors at low-micromolar range. The most potent compound 74 shows inhibitory activity with IC50 of 1.9 and 2.1 μM against recombinant TDP2 and TDP2 in whole cell extracts (WCE), respectively.

Abstract
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) repairs topoisomerase II (TOP2) mediated DNA damages and causes resistance to TOP2-targeted cancer therapy. Inhibiting TDP2 could sensitize cancer cells toward TOP2 inhibitors. However, potent TDP2 inhibitors with favorable physicochemical properties are not yet reported. Therefore, there is a need to search for novel molecular scaffolds capable of inhibiting TDP2. We report herein a new simple, robust, homogenous mix-and-read fluorescence biochemical assay based using humanized zebrafish TDP2 (14M_zTDP2), which provides biochemical and molecular structure basis for TDP2 inhibitor discovery. The assay was validated by screening a preselected library of 1600 compounds (Z' ≥ 0.72) in a 384-well format, and by running in parallel gel-based assays with fluorescent DNA substrates. This library was curated via virtual high throughput screening (vHTS) of 460,000 compounds from Chembridge Library, using the crystal structure of the novel surrogate protein 14M_zTDP2. From this primary screening, we selected the best 32 compounds (2% of the library) to further assess their TDP2 inhibition potential, leading to the IC50 determination of 10 compounds. Based on the dose-response curve profile, pan-assay interference compounds (PAINS) structure identification, physicochemical properties and efficiency parameters, two hit compounds, 11a and 19a, were tested using a novel secondary fluorescence gel-based assay. Preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies identified guanidine derivative 12a as an improved hit with a 6.4-fold increase in potency over the original HTS hit 11a. This study highlights the importance of the development of combination approaches (biochemistry, crystallography and high throughput screening) for the discovery of TDP2 inhibitors.

Abstract
Topoisomerase 2 (TOP2) DNA transactions proceed via formation of the TOP2 cleavage complex (TOP2cc), a covalent enzyme-DNA reaction intermediate that is vulnerable to trapping by potent anticancer TOP2 drugs. How genotoxic TOP2 DNA-protein cross-links are resolved is unclear. We found that the SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) ligase ZATT (ZNF451) is a multifunctional DNA repair factor that controls cellular responses to TOP2 damage. ZATT binding to TOP2cc facilitates a proteasome-independent tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) hydrolase activity on stalled TOP2cc. The ZATT SUMO ligase activity further promotes TDP2 interactions with SUMOylated TOP2, regulating efficient TDP2 recruitment through a "split-SIM" SUMO2 engagement platform. These findings uncover a ZATT-TDP2-catalyzed and SUMO2-modulated pathway for direct resolution of TOP2cc.

Abstract
Tdp1 and Tdp2 are two tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterases that can repair damaged DNA resulting from topoisomerase inhibitors and a variety of other DNA-damaging agents. Both Tdp1 and Tdp2 inhibition could hypothetically potentiate the cytotoxicities of topoisomerase inhibitors. This study reports the successful structure-based design and synthesis of new 7-azaindenoisoquinolines that act as triple inhibitors of Top1, Tdp1, and Tdp2. Enzyme inhibitory data and cytotoxicity data from human cancer cell cultures establish that modification of the lactam side chain of the 7-azaindenoisoquinolines can modulate their inhibitory potencies and selectivities vs Top1, Tdp1, and Tdp2. Molecular modeling of selected target compounds bound to Top1, Tdp1, and Tdp2 was used to design the inhibitors and facilitate the structure-activity relationship analysis. The monitoring of DNA damage by γ-H2AX foci formation in human PBMCs (lymphocytes) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia CCRF-CEM cells documented significantly more DNA damage in the cancer cells vs normal cells.

Abstract
Yeast research has been tremendously contributing to the understanding of a variety of molecular pathways due to the ease of its genetic manipulation, fast doubling time as well as being cost-effective. The understanding of these pathways did not only help scientists learn more about the cellular functions but also assisted in deciphering the genetic and cellular defects behind multiple diseases. Hence, yeast research not only opened the doors for transforming basic research into applied research, but also paved the roads for improving diagnosis and innovating personalized therapy of different diseases. In this chapter, we discuss how yeast research has contributed to understanding major genome maintenance pathways such as the S-phase checkpoint activation pathways, repair via homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining as well as topoisomerases-induced protein linked DNA breaks repair. Defects in these pathways lead to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Thus, the understanding of the exact genetic defects underlying these diseases allowed the development of personalized medicine, improving the diagnosis and treatment and overcoming the detriments of current conventional therapies such as the side effects, toxicity as well as drug resistance.

Abstract
DNA topoisomerases are essential during transcription and replication. The therapeutic mechanism of action of topoisomerase inhibitors is enzyme poisoning rather than catalytic inhibition. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterases 1 or 2 were found as DNA repair enzymes hydrolyzing the covalent bond between the tyrosyl residue of topoisomerases I or II and the 3'- or 5'-phosphate groups in DNA, respectively. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 is a key enzyme in DNA repair machinery and a promising target for antitumor and neurodegenerative therapy. Inhibitors of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 could act synergistically with topoisomerase I inhibitors and thereby potentiate the effects of topoisomerase I poisons. Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 is an enzyme that specifically repairs DNA damages induced by topoisomerase II poisons and causes resistance to these drugs. Selective inhibition of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 may be a novel approach to overcome intrinsic or acquired resistance to topoisomerase II-targeted drug therapy. Thus, agents that inhibit tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterases 1 and 2 have many applications in biochemical and physiological research and they have the potential to become anticancer and antiviral drugs. The structures, mechanism of action and therapeutic rationale of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase inhibitors and their development for combinations with topoisomerase inhibitors and DNA damaging agents are discussed.
