Discovery of novel imidazole chemotypes as isoform-selective JNK3 inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Joonhong Jun et al.

Summary: Despite numerous efforts, developing effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease is difficult due to the lack of a clear target. This study reveals JNK3 as a potential target protein for AD treatment, as it is specifically expressed in the brain and involved in neuronal apoptosis.

Carbamate JNK3 Inhibitors Show Promise as Effective Treatments for Alzheimer?s Disease: In Vivo Studies on Mouse Models

Joonhong Jun et al.

Summary: We have developed new inhibitors for c-Jun N-terminal kinase 3 (JNK3) as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Through pharmacodynamic optimization studies, we identified benzimidazole compounds 2 and 3 as potential JNK3 inhibitors, but their unreliable pharmacokinetic properties led us to develop carbamate inhibitors 2h and 3h. In vitro studies validated carbamate inhibitors 2h and 3h as potent and highly selective JNK3 inhibitors with favorable pharmacokinetic profiles. Oral administration of 2h and 3h improved cognitive function in AD mouse models, indicating their potential as effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease. Carbamate JNK3 inhibitor 3h, in particular, restored cognitive function and reduced pTau levels in the hippocampal tissues of AD mice.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel O-substituted tryptanthrin oxime derivatives as c-Jun N-terminal kinase inhibitors

Igor A. Schepetkin et al.

Summary: This study synthesized a panel of novel tryptanthrin oxime analogs and evaluated their binding affinity to JNK1-3 and inhibition of cellular inflammatory responses. Compound 1j exhibited high binding affinity to JNK1-3 and demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the production of multiple proinflammatory cytokines. Molecular modeling confirmed the binding mode of 1j to JNK3.

Sphingosine kinase 1 promotes growth of glioblastoma by increasing inflammation mediated by the NF-κB/IL-6/STAT3 and JNK/PTX3 pathways

Wan Li et al.

Summary: This study identified sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) as an up-regulated gene in glioblastoma (GBM) patients, and demonstrated its association with poor prognosis and reduced overall survival. Overexpression of SPHK1 promoted the proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and clonogenicity of GBM cells, while silencing SPHK1 had the opposite effect. SPHK1 promoted inflammation and proliferation of GBM cells through the NF-KB/IL-6/STAT3 and JNK signaling pathways, and formed a positive feedback loop with PTX3 to enhance GBM growth. Inhibition of SPHK1 by the inhibitor PF543 decreased tumorigenesis in GBM mouse models.

Fragment-Based and Structural Investigation for Discovery of JNK3 Inhibitors

Men Thi Hoai Duong et al.

Summary: This study utilized virtual fragment screening, STD NMR, in vitro kinase assay, and X-ray crystallography to identify 27 initial hits targeting JNK3 and demonstrating activity inhibition. The structures of JNK3 with a fragment and a potent inhibitor were determined by X-ray crystallography, revealing a common JNK3-binding feature.

Discovery of the c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Inhibitor CC-90001

Mark A. Nagy et al.

Summary: A novel series of JNK inhibitors with increased JNK1 bias have been identified through synthesis and SAR studies, showing low nanomolar JNK inhibitory potency, overall kinome selectivity, and the ability to inhibit cellular phosphorylation of the direct JNK substrate c-Jun. Physiochemical optimization in this series led to compounds with excellent systemic exposure post oral dosing, leading to the selection of a clinical development candidate, CC-90001, currently in Phase II trials for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

Identification of Phelligridin-Based Compounds as Novel Human CD73 Inhibitors

Sifan Lyu et al.

Summary: This study identified novel compounds with CD73 inhibitory activity using computer-aided drug discovery and enzymatic-based assays. Compounds based on phelligridin showed the best inhibitory effects and may serve as lead compounds for developing CD73-targeting drugs. The molecular weight of the identified inhibitors is around 500 Daltons, and they are predicted to primarily form hydrogen bonds with CD73, in addition to hydrophobic stacking interactions.

A geometric deep learning approach to predict binding conformations of bioactive molecules

Oscar Mendez-Lucio et al.

Summary: DeepDock, developed by Mendez-Lucio and colleagues, utilizes geometric deep learning to predict binding conformations of ligands to protein targets, providing guidance for molecular optimization. The method learns a statistical potential based on distance likelihood, tailored for each ligand-target pair, and can reproduce experimental binding conformations effectively. This approach showcases the use of artificial intelligence to enhance structure-based drug design.
