Second-Generation CD73 Inhibitors Based on a 4,6-Biaryl-2-thiopyridine Scaffold

Rayane Ghoteimi et al.

Summary: In this study, various series of 4,6-biaryl-2-thiopyridine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of ecto-5'-nucleotidase (CD73). Two synthetic routes were explored to achieve structural diversity. The results of biological assays on CD73 inhibition showed divergent outcomes using either purified recombinant protein or cell-based assays, indicating the challenge of targeting the protein-protein interface in soluble and membrane-bound forms. Among the new derivatives obtained, three derivatives incorporating morpholino substituents on the 4,6-biaryl-2-thiopyridine core exhibited the ability to reverse adenosine-mediated immune suppression on human T cells, revealing a new chemotype of CD73 allosteric inhibitors.
