Compounds 13 and 14 were evaluated against 11 PARP isoforms to reveal that both 13 and 14 were more potent and isoform selective toward inhibiting tankyrases (TNKSs) than the "standard" inhibitor 1 (XAV939), i.e., IC = 100 pM vs TNKS2 and IC = 6.5 μM vs PARP1 for 14. In cellular assays, 13 and 14 inhibited Wnt-signaling, enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake, and inhibited the proliferation of DLD-1 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells to a greater extent than 1.

Protein kinases are important drug targets, yet specific inhibitors have been developed for only a fraction of the more than 500 human kinases. A major challenge in designing inhibitors for highly related kinases is selectivity. Unlike their non-covalent counterparts, covalent inhibitors offer the advantage of selectively targeting structurally similar kinases by modifying specific protein side chains, particularly non-conserved cysteines.

Agonists of the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway are increasingly being recognized as a promising new approach in the treatment of cancer. Although progress in clinical trials for STING agonists in antitumor applications has been slow, there is still an urgent need for developing new potent STING agonists with versatile potential applications. Herein, we developed and identified a non-nucleotide STING agonist called DW18343.

mRNA therapeutics offer a potentially universal strategy for the efficient development and delivery of therapeutic proteins. Current mRNA vaccines include chemically modified nucleotides to reduce cellular immunogenicity. Here, we develop an efficient, high-throughput method to measure human translation initiation on therapeutically modified as well as endogenous RNAs.

Using a high-throughput screening (HTS) approach, a new GTP-site binding pyridine-carboxylate series of cGAS inhibitors was discovered. The biochemical potency of this new pyridine carboxylate series was improved 166-fold from the original hit to double-digit nanomolar levels using structure-based design insights, but the series was found to suffer from low permeability and low bioavailability. A structure-based hybridization of the metal-binding motifs of the pyridine carboxylate series and our previously disclosed tetrahydrocarboline GTP-site ligand identified pyrimidine amide compound .

Aldehydes are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group found exogenously or produced by normal metabolic processes and their accumulation can lead to toxicity if not cleared. Aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) are NAD(P)-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of such aldehydes and prevent their accumulation. Along with this primary detoxification function, the known 19 human isoforms of ALDHs, which act on different substrates, are also involved in various physiological and developmental processes.
