Abstract
RIP1 regulates necroptosis and inflammation and may play an important role in contributing to a variety of human pathologies, including immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Small-molecule inhibitors of RIP1 kinase that are suitable for advancement into the clinic have yet to be described. Herein, we report our lead optimization of a benzoxazepinone hit from a DNA-encoded library and the discovery and profile of clinical candidate GSK2982772 (compound 5), currently in phase 2a clinical studies for psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. Compound 5 potently binds to RIP1 with exquisite kinase specificity and has excellent activity in blocking many TNF-dependent cellular responses. Highlighting its potential as a novel anti-inflammatory agent, the inhibitor was also able to reduce spontaneous production of cytokines from human ulcerative colitis explants. The highly favorable physicochemical and ADMET properties of 5, combined with high potency, led to a predicted low oral dose in humans.

Abstract
Receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIP3 or RIPK3) has emerged as a central player in necroptosis and a potential target to control inflammatory disease. Here, three selective small-molecule compounds are shown to inhibit RIP3 kinase-dependent necroptosis, although their therapeutic value is undermined by a surprising, concentration-dependent induction of apoptosis. These compounds interact with RIP3 to activate caspase 8 (Casp8) via RHIM-driven recruitment of RIP1 (RIPK1) to assemble a Casp8-FADD-cFLIP complex completely independent of pronecrotic kinase activities and MLKL. RIP3 kinase-dead D161N mutant induces spontaneous apoptosis independent of compound, whereas D161G, D143N, and K51A mutants, like wild-type, only trigger apoptosis when compound is present. Accordingly, RIP3-K51A mutant mice (Rip3(K51A/K51A)) are viable and fertile, in stark contrast to the perinatal lethality of Rip3(D161N/D161N) mice. RIP3 therefore holds both necroptosis and apoptosis in balance through a Ripoptosome-like platform. This work highlights a common mechanism unveiling RHIM-driven apoptosis by therapeutic or genetic perturbation of RIP3.

Abstract
Although mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) protein has emerged as a specific and crucial protein for necroptosis induction, how MLKL transduces the death signal remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the full four-helical bundle domain (4HBD) in the N-terminal region of MLKL is required and sufficient to induce its oligomerization and trigger cell death. Moreover, we found that a patch of positively charged amino acids on the surface of the 4HBD binds to phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) and allows recruitment of MLKL to the plasma membrane. Importantly, we found that recombinant MLKL, but not a mutant lacking these positive charges, induces leakage of PIP-containing liposomes as potently as BAX, supporting a model in which MLKL induces necroptosis by directly permeabilizing the plasma membrane. Accordingly, we found that inhibiting the formation of PI(5)P and PI(4,5)P2 specifically inhibits tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated necroptosis but not apoptosis.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling is triggered by pathogen-associated molecular patterns that mediate well established cytokine-driven pathways, activating NF-κB together with IRF3/IRF7. In addition, TLR3 drives caspase 8-regulated programmed cell death pathways reminiscent of TNF family death receptor signaling. We find that inhibition or elimination of caspase 8 during stimulation of TLR2, TLR3, TLR4, TLR5, or TLR9 results in receptor interacting protein (RIP) 3 kinase-dependent programmed necrosis that occurs through either TIR domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF) or MyD88 signal transduction. TLR3 or TLR4 directly activates programmed necrosis through a RIP homotypic interaction motif-dependent association of TRIF with RIP3 kinase (also called RIPK3). In fibroblasts, this pathway proceeds independent of RIP1 or its kinase activity, but it remains dependent on mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) downstream of RIP3 kinase. Here, we describe two small molecule RIP3 kinase inhibitors and employ them to demonstrate the common requirement for RIP3 kinase in programmed necrosis induced by RIP1-RIP3, DAI-RIP3, and TRIF-RIP3 complexes. Cell fate decisions following TLR signaling parallel death receptor signaling and rely on caspase 8 to suppress RIP3-dependent programmed necrosis whether initiated directly by a TRIF-RIP3-MLKL pathway or indirectly via TNF activation and the RIP1-RIP3-MLKL necroptosis pathway.

Abstract
NOD2 is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor that assembles with receptor-interacting protein (RIP)-2 kinase in response to the presence of bacterial muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in the host cell cytoplasm, thereby inducing signals leading to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The dysregulation of NOD2 signaling has been associated with various inflammatory disorders suggesting that small-molecule inhibitors of this signaling complex may have therapeutic utility. To identify inhibitors of the NOD2 signaling pathway, we utilized a cell-based screening approach and identified a benzimidazole diamide compound designated GSK669 that selectively inhibited an MDP-stimulated, NOD2-mediated IL-8 response without directly inhibiting RIP2 kinase activity. Moreover, GSK669 failed to inhibit cytokine production in response to the activation of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2, tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR)-1 and closely related NOD1, all of which share common downstream components with the NOD2 signaling pathway. While the inhibitors blocked MDP-induced NOD2 responses, they failed to block signaling induced by NOD2 over-expression or single stranded RNA, suggesting specificity for the MDP-induced signaling complex and activator-dependent differences in NOD2 signaling. Investigation of structure-activity relationship allowed the identification of more potent analogs that maintained NOD2 selectivity. The largest boost in activity was achieved by N-methylation of the C2-ethyl amide group. These findings demonstrate that the NOD2 signaling pathway is amenable to modulation by small molecules that do not target RIP2 kinase activity. The compounds we identified should prove useful tools to investigate the importance of NOD2 in various inflammatory processes and may have potential clinical utility.

Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms by which pathogens induce vascular inflammation and dysfunction may reveal novel therapeutic targets in sepsis and related conditions. The intracellular receptor NOD1 recognises peptidoglycan which features in the cell wall of gram negative and some gram positive bacteria. NOD1 engagement generates an inflammatory response via activation of NFκB and MAPK pathways. We have previously shown that stimulation of NOD1 directly activates blood vessels and causes experimental shock in vivo. In this study we have used an ex vivo vessel-organ culture model to characterise the relative contribution of the endothelium in the response of blood vessels to NOD1 agonists. In addition we present the novel finding that NOD1 directly activates human blood vessels. Using human cultured cells we confirm that endothelial cells respond more avidly to NOD1 agonists than vascular smooth muscle cells. Accordingly we have sought to pharmacologically differentiate NOD1 and TLR4 mediated signalling pathways in human endothelial cells, focussing on TAK1, NFκB and p38 MAPK. In addition we profile novel inhibitors of RIP2 and NOD1 itself, which specifically inhibit NOD1 ligand induced inflammatory signalling in the vasculature. This paper is the first to demonstrate activation of whole human artery by NOD1 stimulation and the relative importance of the endothelium in the sensing of NOD1 ligands by vessels. This data supports the potential utility of NOD1 and RIP2 as therapeutic targets in human disease where vascular inflammation is a clinical feature, such as in sepsis and septic shock.

Abstract
A series of biarylsulfonamides was identified as hCCR2 receptor antagonist but suffered from high plasma protein binding resulting in a >100 fold shift in activity in a functional GTPγS assay run in tandem in the presence and absence of human serum albumin. Introduction of an aryl amide with ethylenediamine linker led to compounds with reduced shifts and improved activity in whole blood.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently identified antagonists of the urotensin-II (U-II) receptor (UT) are of limited utility for investigating the (patho)physiological role of U-II due to poor potency and limited selectivity and/or intrinsic activity. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The pharmacological properties of two novel UT antagonists, GSK1440115 and GSK1562590, were compared using multiple bioassays. KEY RESULTS GSK1440115 (pK(i)= 7.34-8.64 across species) and GSK1562590 (pK(i)= 9.14-9.66 across species) are high affinity ligands of mammalian recombinant (mouse, rat, cat, monkey, human) and native (SJRH30 cells) UT. Both compounds exhibited >100-fold selectivity for UT versus 87 distinct mammalian GPCR, enzyme, ion channel and neurotransmitter uptake targets. GSK1440115 showed competitive antagonism at UT in arteries from all species tested (pA(2)= 5.59-7.71). In contrast, GSK1562590 was an insurmountable UT antagonist in rat, cat and hUT transgenic mouse arteries (pK(b)= 8.93-10.12 across species), but a competitive antagonist in monkey arteries (pK(b)= 8.87-8.93). Likewise, GSK1562590 inhibited the hU-II-induced systemic pressor response in anaesthetized cats at a dose 10-fold lower than that of GSK1440115. The antagonistic effects of GSK1440115, but not GSK1562590, could be reversed by washout in rat isolated aorta. In ex vivo studies, GSK1562590 inhibited hU-II-induced contraction of rat aorta for at least 24 h following dosing. Dissociation of GSK1562590 binding was considerably slower at rat than monkey UT. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Whereas both GSK1440115 and GSK1562590 represent high-affinity/selective UT antagonists suitable for assessing the (patho)physiological role of U-II, only GSK1562590 exhibited sustained UT residence time and improved preclinical efficacy in vivo.

Abstract
We describe a practical and scalable route to compound (Z)-1, a selective CCK1 receptor antagonist. Notable features of this concise route are (1) a regioselective construction of the pyrazole core through the reaction of an aryl hydrazine and an elaborated acetylenic ketone, (2) a Tf2O/pyridine mediated Z-selective dehydration of an α-hydroxyester, and (3) a stereoselective hydrolysis. The sequence is high-yielding and amenable for large-scale synthesis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Purpose- This study assessed the pharmacological effect of a novel selective C-C chemokine receptor (CCR) 2 antagonist (GSK1344386B) on monocyte/macrophage infiltration into atherosclerotic plaque using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in an atherosclerotic mouse model. METHODS AND RESULTS Apolipoprotein E(-/-) mice expressing human CCR2 were fed a Western diet (vehicle group) or a Western diet plus10 mg/kg per day of GSK1344386B (GSK1344386B group). After the baseline MRI, mice were implanted with osmotic pumps containing angiotensin II, 1000 ng/kg per minute, to accelerate lesion formation. After five weeks of angiotensin II administration, mice received ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide, an MRI contrast agent for the assessment of monocyte/macrophage infiltration to the plaque, and underwent imaging. After imaging, mice were euthanized, and the heart and aorta were harvested for ex vivo MRI and histopathological examination. After 5 weeks of dietary dosing, there were no significant differences between groups in body or liver weight or plasma cholesterol concentrations. An in vivo MRI reflected a decrease in ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide contrast agent uptake in the aortic arch of the GSK1344386B group (P<0.05). An ex vivo MRI of the aortic root also reflected decreased ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide uptake in the GSK1344386B group and was verified by absolute iron analysis (P<0.05). Although there was no difference in aortic root lesion area between groups, there was a 30% reduction in macrophage area observed in the GSK1344386B group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS An MRI was used to noninvasively assess the decreased macrophage content in the atherosclerotic plaque after selective CCR2 inhibition.

Abstract
Recent studies using known Rho-associated kinase isoform 1 (ROCK1) inhibitors along with cellular and molecular biology data have revealed a pivotal role of this enzyme in many aspects of cardiovascular function. Here we report a series of ROCK1 inhibitors which were originally derived from a dihydropyrimidinone core 1. Our efforts focused on the optimization of dihydropyrimidine 2, which resulted in the identification of a series of dihydropyrimidines with improved pharmacokinetics and P450 properties.

Abstract
Lead compound 1 was successfully redesigned to provide compounds with improved pharmacokinetic profiles for this series of human urotensin-II antagonists. Replacement of the 2-pyrrolidinylmethyl-3-phenyl-piperidine core of 1 with a substituted N-methyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethanamine core as in compound 7 resulted in compounds with improved oral bioavailability in rats. The relationship between stereochemistry and selectivity for hUT over the kappa-opioid receptor was also explored.

Abstract
Rho kinase (ROCK1) mediates vascular smooth muscle contraction and is a potential target for the treatment of hypertension and related disorders. Indazole amide 3 was identified as a potent and selective ROCK1 inhibitor but possessed poor oral bioavailability. Optimization of this lead resulted in the discovery of a series of dihydropyridones, exemplified by 13, with improved pharmacokinetic parameters relative to the initial lead. Indazole substitution played a critical role in decreasing clearance and improving oral bioavailability.

A series of competitive, reversible cathepsin S (CatS) inhibitors was investigated. An earlier disclosure detailed the discovery of the 4-(2-keto-1-benzimidazolinyl)-piperidin-1-yl moiety as an effective replacement for the 4-arylpiperazin-1-yl group found in our screening hit. Continued investigation into replacements for the 4-aryl piperazine resulted in the identification of potentially useful CatS inhibitors with enzymatic and cellular activity similar to that of JNJ 10329670 as disclosed in a previous publication.

A novel series of competitive, reversible cathepsin S (CatS) inhibitors was discovered and optimized. The 4-(2-keto-1-benzimidazolinyl)-piperidin-1-yl moiety was found to be an effective replacement for the 4-arylpiperazin-1-yl group found in our earlier series of CatS inhibitors. This replacement imparted improved PK properties as well as decreased off-target activity. Optimization of the ketobenzimidazole moiety led to the discovery of the lead compound JNJ 10329670, which represents a novel class of selective, noncovalent, reversible, and orally bioavailable inhibitors of cathepsin S.

Abstract
Cathepsin S is considered crucial for normal presentation of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-restricted antigens by antigen presenting cells to CD4+ T cells. It is a key enzyme for the degradation of the class II-associated invariant chain, a process that is required for effective antigen loading of class II molecules. Here, we report a selective, orally available, high-affinity cathepsin S inhibitor, 1-[3-[4-(6-Chloro-2,3-dihydro-3-methyl-2-oxo-1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-5-(methylsulfonyl)-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridine. (JNJ 10329670), that represents a novel class of immunosuppressive compounds. JNJ 10329670 is a highly potent (Ki of approximately 30 nM), nonpeptidic, noncovalent inhibitor of human cathepsin S, but it is much less active against the mouse, dog, monkey, and bovine enzymes. The compound is inactive against other proteases, including the closely related cathepsins L, F, and K. This selectivity makes JNJ 10329670 an excellent tool for exploring the role of cathepsin S in human systems. Treatment of human B cell lines and primary human dendritic cells with JNJ 10329670 resulted in the accumulation of the p10 fragment of the invariant chain (IC50 of approximately 1 microM). In contrast, inhibition of invariant chain proteolysis was much less effective in a human monocytic cell line, suggesting that other enzymes may degrade the invariant chain in this cell type. JNJ 10329670 was shown to block the proteolysis of the invariant chain in vivo by using immunocompromised mice injected with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Furthermore, this inhibitor blocks the presentation of tetanus toxoid and giant ragweed by human PBMCs. The properties of JNJ 10329670 make it a candidate for immunosuppressive therapy of allergies and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
The total synthesis of 57, the enantiomer of the marine furanocembrane rubifolide (3), is described starting from (S)-(-)-perillyl alcohol (5). The successful route proceeded by oxidative cleavage of 5 to ester aldehyde 30 which was protected, reduced, and homologated to the acetylene 34, the left-hand segment of the synthetic target. Addition to the right-hand aldehyde 39 afforded alcohol 40. The carbonate derivative 41 was converted to the allenylstannane aldehyde 44, which cyclized upon treatment with BF(3).OEt(2). Oxidation with the Dess-Martin periodinane reagent followed by treatment with Et(3)N yielded allenone 45. Allenone 45 cyclized to furan 46 in the presence of catalytic AgNO(3) on silica gel. Brief exposure to p-TsOH effected elimination of the OMOM ether, affording the diastereomeric (Z)-vinylfuran carbonates 47 and 49. Saponification of the former led to alcohol 48, which was converted to the final product by sequential treatment with (CF(3)CO)(2)O, then Pd(PPh(3))(4) and CO in THF-H(2)O, and then AgNO(3) on silica gel. The resulting product, 57, was identical to natural rubifolide on the basis of spectral comparison. The optical rotation was equal and opposite in sign to that of the natural material. A second, but unsuccessful approach is also described.
