Abstract

Pyrrolo[2,3-f]isoquinoline based amino acids, tetracyclic lactams and cyclic ketone analogues are described as novel MK2 inhibitors with IC(50) as low as 5nM and good selectivity profiles against a number of related kinases including ERK, p38alpha and JNKs. TNFalpha release was suppressed from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs), and a representative compound inhibited LPS induced TNFalpha release in mice illustrating the potential of this series to provide orally active MK2 inhibitors., (Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract

Spirocyclopropane- and spiroazetidine-substituted tetracycles 13D-E and 16A are described as orally active MK2 inhibitors. The spiroazetidine derivatives are potent MK2 inhibitors with IC(50)<3 nM and inhibit the release of TNFalpha (IC(50)<0.3 microM) from hPBMCs and hsp27 phosphorylation in anisomycin stimulated THP-1 cells. The spirocyclopropane analogues are less potent against MK2 (IC(50)=0.05-0.23 microM), less potent in cells (IC(50)<1.1 microM), but show good oral absorption. Compound 13E (100mg/kg po; bid) showed oral activity in rAIA and mCIA, with significant reduction of swelling and histological score., (Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

3. Low-molecular-weight MK2 inhibitors: a tough nut to crack!

Abstract

The p38 pathway has been at the center of interest for anti-inflammatory drug discovery for many years as it is crucial for the biosynthesis of TNF-α, IL-1β and other mediators. Most of the anti-inflammatory effects of p38 inhibition are mediated through MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 (MK2), a direct downstream target of p38, which makes MK2 a very interesting drug target. Within the last 5 years, several classes of low-molecular-weight MK2 inhibitors were disclosed in the patent and primary literature. Advanced compounds could be optimized to nanomolar potencies and inhibit TNF-α release, as well as the phosphorylation of the MK2 substrate heat-shock protein 27 in cellular assays. This article will review the recent progress in this field and will highlight and discuss the most promising compound series disclosed so far.
