Abstract
While specific cell signaling pathway inhibitors have yielded great success in oncology, directly triggering cancer cell death is one of the great drug discovery challenges facing biomedical research in the era of precision oncology. Attempts to eradicate cancer cells expressing unique target proteins, such as antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), T-cell engaging therapies, and radiopharmaceuticals have been successful in the clinic, but they are limited by the number of targets given the inability to target intracellular proteins. More recently, heterobifunctional small molecules such as Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTACs) have paved the way for protein proximity inducing therapeutic modalities. Here, we describe a proof-of-concept study using novel heterobifunctional small molecules called Regulated Induced Proximity Targeting Chimeras or RIPTACs, which elicit a stable ternary complex between a target protein selectively expressed in cancer tissue and a pan-expressed protein essential for cell survival. The resulting cooperative protein:protein interaction (PPI) abrogates the function of the essential protein, thus leading to cell death selectively in cells expressing the target protein. This approach not only opens new target space by leveraging differentially expressed intracellular proteins but also has the advantage of not requiring the target to be a driver of disease. Thus, RIPTACs can address non-target mechanisms of resistance given that cell killing is driven by inactivation of the essential protein. Using the HaloTag7-FKBP model system as a target protein, we describe RIPTACs that incorporate a covalent or non-covalent target ligand connected via a linker to effector ligands such as JQ1 (BRD4), BI2536 (PLK1), or multi-CDK inhibitors such as TMX3013 or dinaciclib. We show that these RIPTACs exhibit positive co-operativity, accumulate selectively in cells expressing HaloTag7-FKBP, form stable target:RIPTAC:effector trimers in cells, and induce an anti-proliferative response in target-expressing cells. We propose that RIPTACs are a novel heterobifunctional therapeutic modality to treat cancers that are known to selectively express a specific intracellular protein.

Rapid Compound Integrity Assessment for High-Throughput Screening Hit Triaging. SLAS DISCOVERY 2020; 26:242-247.

Abstract
Hits from high-throughput screening (HTS) assays are typically evaluated using cheminformatics and/or empirical approaches before a decision for follow-up (activity confirmation and/or sample resynthesis) is made. However, the compound integrity (i.e., identity and purity) of these hits often remains largely unknown at this stage, since many compounds in the screening collection could undergo various changes such as degradation, polymerization, and precipitation during storage over time. When compound integrity is actually assessed for HTS hits postassay to address this issue, the process often increases the overall cycle time by weeks due to the reacquisition of the samples and the lengthy liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/mass spectrometric analysis time. Here we present a novel approach where compound integrity data are collected concurrently with the concentration-response curve (CRC) stage of HTS, with both assays occurring either in parallel on two distributions from the same liquid sample or serially using the original source liquid sample. The rapid generation of compound integrity data has been enabled by a high-speed ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-ultraviolet/mass spectrometric platform capable of analyzing ~2000 samples per instrument per week. From this parallel approach, both compound integrity and CRC potency results for screening hits become available to medicinal chemists at the same time, which has greatly enhanced the decision-making process for hit follow-up and progression. In addition, the compound integrity results from recent hits provide a real-time and representative "snapshot" of the sample integrity of the entire compound collection, and the data can be used for in-depth analyses of the screening collection.

Abstract
The standard of care for HIV-1 infection, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), combines two or more drugs from at least two classes. Even with the success of HAART, new drugs with novel mechanisms are needed to combat viral resistance, improve adherence, and mitigate toxicities. Active site inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase are clinically validated for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Here we describe allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase that bind to the LEDGF/p75 interaction site and disrupt the structure of the integrase multimer that is required for the HIV-1 maturation. A series of pyrazolopyrimidine-based inhibitors was developed with a vector in the 2-position that was optimized by structure-guided compound design. This resulted in the discovery of pyrazolopyrimidine 3, which was optimized at the 2- and 7-positions to afford 26 and 29 as potent allosteric inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase that exhibited low nanomolar antiviral potency in cell culture and encouraging PK properties.

Abstract
Cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors are activated by Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, a psychoactive component of marijuana. The cannabinoid CB1 receptor is primarily located in the brain and is responsible for the psychoactive side effects, whereas the cannabinoid CB2 receptor is located in immune cells and is an attractive target for immune-related maladies. We identify small molecules that selectively bind to the cannabinoid CB2 receptor and can be further developed into therapeutics. The affinity of three molecules, ABK5, ABK6, and ABK7, to the cannabinoid CB2 receptor was determined with radioligand competition binding. The potency of G-protein coupling was determined with GTPγS binding. The three compounds bound selectively to the cannabinoid CB2 receptor, and no binding to the cannabinoid CB1 receptor was detected up to 10 μM. Immunoblotting studies show that the amount of ERK1/2 and MEK phosphorylation increased in a Gi/o-dependent manner. Furthermore, an immune cell line (Jurkat cells) was treated with ABK5, and as a result, inhibited cell proliferation. These three compounds are novel cannabinoid CB2 receptor agonists and hold promise to be further developed to treat inflammation and the often-associated pain.

Abstract
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a diverse role in human physiology ranging from the regulation of mood and appetite to immune modulation and the response to pain. Drug development that targets the cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) has been explored; however, success in the clinic has been limited by the psychoactive side effects associated with modulation of the neuronally expressed CB1 that are enriched in the CNS. CB2, however, are expressed in peripheral tissues, primarily in immune cells, and thus development of CB2-selective drugs holds the potential to modulate pain among other indications without eliciting anxiety and other undesirable side effects associated with CB1 activation. As part of a collaborative effort among industry and academic laboratories, we performed a high-throughput screen designed to discover selective agonists or positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) of CB2. Although no CB2 PAMs were identified, 167 CB2 agonists were discovered here, and further characterization of four select compounds revealed two with high selectivity for CB2 versus CB1. These results broaden drug discovery efforts aimed at the ECS and may lead to the development of novel therapies for immune modulation and pain management with improved side effect profiles.

Abstract
With the hope of discovering effective analgesics with fewer side effects, attention has recently shifted to allosteric modulators of the opioid receptors. In the past two years, the first chemotypes of positive or silent allosteric modulators (PAMs or SAMs, respectively) of μ- and δ-opioid receptor types have been reported in the literature. During a structure-guided lead optimization campaign with μ-PAMs BMS-986121 and BMS-986122 as starting compounds, we discovered a new chemotype that was confirmed to display μ-PAM or μ-SAM activity depending on the specific substitutions as assessed by endomorphin-1-stimulated β-arrestin2 recruitment assays in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO)-μ PathHunter cells. The most active μ-PAM of this series was analyzed further in competition binding and G-protein activation assays to understand its effects on ligand binding and to investigate the nature of its probe dependence.

Abstract
Allosteric modulators of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have a number of potential advantages compared to agonists or antagonists that bind to the orthosteric site of the receptor. These include the potential for receptor selectivity, maintenance of the temporal and spatial fidelity of signaling in vivo, the ceiling effect of the allosteric cooperativity which may prevent overdose issues, and engendering bias by differentially modulating distinct signaling pathways. Here we describe the discovery, synthesis, and molecular pharmacology of δ-opioid receptor-selective positive allosteric modulators (δ PAMs). These δ PAMs increase the affinity and/or efficacy of the orthosteric agonists leu-enkephalin, SNC80 and TAN67, as measured by receptor binding, G protein activation, β-arrestin recruitment, adenylyl cyclase inhibition, and extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) activation. As such, these compounds are useful pharmacological tools to probe the molecular pharmacology of the δ receptor and to explore the therapeutic potential of δ PAMs in diseases such as chronic pain and depression.

Abstract
Substituted pyrimidine inhibitors of the Clk and Dyrk kinases have been developed, exploring structure-activity relationships around four different chemotypes. The most potent compounds have low-nanomolar inhibitory activity against Clk1, Clk2, Clk4, Dyrk1A and Dyrk1B. Kinome scans with 442 kinases using agents representing three of the chemotypes show these inhibitors to be highly selective for the Clk and Dyrk families. Further off-target pharmacological evaluation with ML315, the most selective agent, supports this conclusion.

Abstract
The recent development of a Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infectious virus cell culture model system has facilitated the development of whole-virus screening assays which can be used to interrogate the entire virus life cycle. Here, we describe the development of an HCV growth assay capable of identifying inhibitors against all stages of the virus life cycle with assay throughput suitable for rapid screening of large-scale chemical libraries. Novel features include, 1) the use of an efficiently-spreading, full-length, intergenotypic chimeric reporter virus with genotype 1 structural proteins, 2) a homogenous assay format compatible with miniaturization and automated liquid-handling, and 3) flexible assay end-points using either chemiluminescence (high-throughput screening) or Cellomics ArrayScan™ technology (high-content screening). The assay was validated using known HCV antivirals and through a large-scale, high-throughput screening campaign that identified novel and selective entry, replication and late-stage inhibitors. Selection and characterization of resistant viruses provided information regarding inhibitor target and mechanism. Leveraging results from this robust whole-virus assay represents a critical first step towards identifying inhibitors of novel targets to broaden the spectrum of antivirals for the treatment of HCV.

Abstract
In the search for new anti-influenza agents, the viral polymerase has often been targeted due to the involvement of multiple conserved proteins and their distinct activities. Polymerase associates with each of the eight singled-stranded negative-sense viral RNA segments. These transcriptionally competent segments are coated with multiple copies of nucleoprotein (NP) to form the ribonucleoprotein. NP is an abundant essential protein, possessing operative and structural functions, and participating in genome organization, nuclear trafficking and RNA transcription and replication. This review examines the NP structure and function, and explores NP as an emerging target for anti-influenza drug development, focusing on recently discovered aryl piperazine amide inhibitor chemotypes.

Abstract
We have developed a solid phase synthesis route to 1,5-substituted pyrazole-4-carboxamides with three diversity points aimed at the discovery of new compounds as potential G-Protein coupled receptor (GPCR) ligands. The new chemistry involves acylation of a resin bound secondary amine with a β-ketoester via transamidation, conversion of the resulting β-ketoamide to the corresponding vinylogous amide, pyrazole formation upon reaction with a aryl hydrzine, and cleavage of the product from the resin. Using the reported methodology, we describe the syntheses of multiple arrays of pyrazoles that were used collectively to construct a library of more than 1000 analogues. Several members of this library displayed submicromolar antagonist activities at the cannabinoid subtype 1 (CB-1) receptor.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase–γ (PTP-γ) is a receptor-like PTP whose biological function is poorly understood. A recent mouse PTP-γ genetic deletion model associated the loss of PTP-γ gene expression with a potential antidepressant phenotype. This led the authors to screen a subset of the Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) compound collection to identify selective small-molecule inhibitors of receptor-like PTP-γ (RPTP-γ) for use in evaluating enzyme function in vivo. Here, they report the design of a high-throughput fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay based on the Z′-LYTE technology to screen for inhibitors of RPTP-γ. A subset of the BMS diverse compound collection was screened and several compounds identified as RPTP-γ inhibitors in the assay. After chemical triage and clustering, compounds were assessed for potency and selectivity by IC50 determination with RPTP-γ and two other phosphatases, PTP-1B and CD45. One hundred twenty-nine RPTP-γ selective (defined as IC50 value greater than 5- to 10-fold over PTP-1B and CD45) inhibitors were identified and prioritized for evaluation. One of these hits, 3-(3, 4-dichlorobenzylthio) thiophene-2-carboxylic acid, was the primary chemotype for the initiation of a medicinal chemistry program.

Abstract
Small molecule inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are being developed to complement or replace treatments with pegylated interferons and ribavirin, which have poor response rates and significant side effects. Resistance to these inhibitors emerges rapidly in the clinic, suggesting that successful therapy will involve combination therapy with multiple inhibitors of different targets. The entry process of HCV into hepatocytes represents another series of potential targets for therapeutic intervention, involving viral structural proteins that have not been extensively explored due to experimental limitations. To discover HCV entry inhibitors, we utilized HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) incorporating E1-E2 envelope proteins from a genotype 1b clinical isolate. Screening of a small molecule library identified a potent HCV-specific triazine inhibitor, EI-1. A series of HCVpp with E1-E2 sequences from various HCV isolates was used to show activity against all genotype 1a and 1b HCVpp tested, with median EC50 values of 0.134 and 0.027 µM, respectively. Time-of-addition experiments demonstrated a block in HCVpp entry, downstream of initial attachment to the cell surface, and prior to or concomitant with bafilomycin inhibition of endosomal acidification. EI-1 was equally active against cell-culture adapted HCV (HCVcc), blocking both cell-free entry and cell-to-cell transmission of virus. HCVcc with high-level resistance to EI-1 was selected by sequential passage in the presence of inhibitor, and resistance was shown to be conferred by changes to residue 719 in the carboxy-terminal transmembrane anchor region of E2, implicating this envelope protein in EI-1 susceptibility. Combinations of EI-1 with interferon, or inhibitors of NS3 or NS5A, resulted in additive to synergistic activity. These results suggest that inhibitors of HCV entry could be added to replication inhibitors and interferons already in development.

Abstract
The high-throughput manual solid-phase parallel synthesis of libraries comprising thousands of discrete samples using pellicular supports (i.e. SynPhase crowns and lanterns) and a suite of novel tools and techniques is described. Key aspects of this approach include the combination of a split-split-split synthesis strategy with spatial encoding to differentiate thousands of crowns, the rapid washing and filtration of up to 48 reaction vessels in parallel, the application of an inexpensive and environmentally friendly technique to remove trifluoroacetic acid from sixteen 96-well plates in parallel, and a high-throughput method for removing cleaved crowns from reusable pin racks. Tens of thousands of discrete samples have been produced in-house using this conceptually and operationally straightforward strategy.

[structure] Two general routes to 1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepines are described. Both routes utilize an appropriately functionalized phenethylamino alcohol as the penultimate intermediate: the first route makes use of the reductive amination of a benzyl alkyl ketone with alpha-(aminomethyl)benzyl alcohol, while the second route utilizes the addition of a Grignard reagent to the oxazolidine derived from a substitued phenylacetaldehyde and alpha-(methylaminomethyl)benzyl alcohol. In all cases studied, the cis-1,4-disubstituted-2,3,4, 5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine was obtained as the major product.

Abstract
Solid-phase MAS techniques have proved to be very useful in characterizing compounds bound to resin; however, little has been reported on using NMR to characterize compounds attached to Chiron SynPhase crowns. We have used proton, carbon, and COSY spectra obtained with a Varian Nano.nmr probe to characterize products from a published reaction sequence attached to MD (methacrylic acid/dimethylacrylamide copolymer) crowns. We have also performed solvent surveys to determine the best solvents for acquiring spectra of materials bound to both MD and PS (polystyrene) crowns.
