Genetic mutations in the phosphatase PTPN11 (SHP2) are associated with childhood leukemias. These mutations cause hyperactivation of SHP2 due to the disruption of the autoinhibitory conformation. By targeting the activation associated protein conformational change, we have identified an SHP2 inhibitor (E)-1-(1-(5-(3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)acryloyl)-2-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyridin-3-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one (LY6, 1) using computer-aided drug design database screening combined with cell-based assays. This compound inhibited SHP2 with an IC50 value of 9.8 [IM, 7-fold more selective for SHP2 than the highly related SHP1. Fluorescence titration, thermal shift, and microscale thermophoresis quantitative binding assays confirmed its direct binding to SHP2. This compound was further verified to effectively inhibit SHP2-mediated cell signaling and proliferation. Furthermore, mouse and patient leukemia cells with PTPN11 activating mutations were more sensitive to this inhibitor than wild-type cells. This small molecule SHP2 inhibitor has a potential to serve as a lead compound for further optimization studies to develop novel anti-SHP2 therapeutic agents.
