Discovery of Macrocycle-Based HPK1 Inhibitors for T-Cell-Based Immunotherapy

Ming-Shu Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, a series of macrocycle-based HPK1 inhibitors were designed via a conformational constraint strategy. The candidate compound 5i exhibited potent HPK1 inhibition with high selectivity against GLK. Compound 5i also showed good oral bioavailability and metabolic stability, and demonstrated a synergistic effect with anti-PD-1 in tumor mouse models, highlighting its potential in immunotherapy.

Design and Synthesis of Functionally Active 5-Amino-6-Aryl Pyrrolopyrimidine Inhibitors of Hematopoietic Progenitor Kinase 1

Rebecca A. Gallego et al.

Summary: Immune activating agents have significant potential as cancer therapeutics, and current research focuses on expanding the range of available therapeutics by targeting new biological mechanisms. Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1), as a negative regulator of immune signaling, is a highly promising target for cancer treatment. This study presents the discovery and optimization of novel amino-6-aryl pyrrolopyrimidine inhibitors of HPK1, starting from hits identified through virtual screening. Key aspects of this research include structure-based drug design, analysis of normalized B-factors, and optimization of lipophilic efficiency.

Enhanced antitumor immunity by a novel small molecule HPK1 inhibitor

Dan You et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel, potent, and selective HPK1 small molecule kinase inhibitor called Compound K (CompK), which significantly improved human T-cell immune responses in the tumor microenvironment and showed significant synergy with anti-PD-1 therapy. Animal model studies demonstrated improved immune responses and antitumor efficacy with CompK in combination with anti-PD-1, suggesting its potential as a novel pharmacological agent for cancer treatment.

Discovery of Diaminopyrimidine Carboxamide HPK1 Inhibitors as Preclinical Immunotherapy Tool Compounds

Brandon A. Vara et al.

Summary: HPK1 is a negative immune regulator primarily expressed in hematopoietic cells, and its loss can enhance T cell signaling and cytokine production, leading to tumor growth inhibition in vivo. The structurally enabled discovery of novel, potent, and selective HPK1 inhibitors, with a carboxamide moiety crucial for enhanced potency and selectivity, holds promise as an immunotherapeutic target.
