  • Compound 15d, also known as LY2109761, has shown antitumor efficacy combined with good oral bioavailability.
  • The study validates using pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) approaches in vivo as effective for assessing tumor inhibition and potential antitumor efficacy.

Article Abstract

In our continuing effort to expand the SAR of the quinoline domain of dihydropyrrolopyrazole series, we have discovered compound 15d, which demonstrated the antitumor efficacy with oral bioavailability. This effort also demonstrated that the PK/PD in vivo target inhibition paradigm is an effective approach to assess potential for antitumor efficacy. The dihydropyrrolopyrazole inhibitor 15d (LY2109761) is representative of a novel series of antitumor agents.

Novel dihydropyrrolopyrazole-substituted benzimidazoles were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as inhibitors of transforming growth factor-beta type I receptor (TGF-beta RI), TGF-beta RII, and mixed lineage kinase-7 (MLK-7). These compounds were found to be potent TGF-beta RI inhibitors and selective versus TGF-beta RII and MLK-7 kinases. Benzimidazole derivative 8b was active in an in vivo target (TGF-beta RI) inhibition assay.

Mixed lineage kinase 7 (MLK7) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) that activates the pro-apoptotic signaling pathways p38 and JNK. A library of potential kinase inhibitors was screened, and a series of dihydropyrrolopyrazole quinolines was identified as highly potent inhibitors of MLK7 in vitro catalytic activity. Of this series, an aryl-substituted dihydropyrrolopyrazole quinoline (DHP-2) demonstrated an IC50 of 70 nM for inhibition of pJNK formation in COS-7 cell MLK7/JNK co-transfection assays.

We have expanded our previously reported series of pyrazole-based inhibitors of the TGF-beta type I receptor kinase domain (TbetaR-I) to now include new 5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrazole analogues. Limited examination of the SAR of this new series in both enzyme and cell based in vitro assays has revealed selectivity differences with respect to p38 MAP kinase (p38 MAPK) depending on the nature of the 'warhead' group on the dihydropyrrolopyrazole ring. As with our original pyrazole series, phenyl substituents tended to show greater selectivity against p38 MAPK than those comprised of the quinoline-4-yl moiety.
