Due to its essential roles in cell proliferation and apoptosis, the precise regulation of the Hippo pathway through LATS presents a viable biological target for developing new drugs for cancer and regenerative diseases. However, currently available probes for selective and highly drug-like inhibition of LATS require further improvement in terms of both activity, selectivity and drug-like properties. Through scaffold hopping aided by docking studies and AI-assisted prediction of metabolic stabilities, we successfully identified an advanced LATS inhibitor demonstrating potent kinase activity, exceptional selectivity against other kinases, and superior oral pharmacokinetic profiles.

Through catalyzing the transfer of methyl groups onto the guanidinium of arginine, protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) was essential to the cell growth of cancer cells. By utilizing a scaffold hopping strategy, a novel series of 3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1()-one derivatives were designed and synthesized. Through a systematic SAR study, demonstrated excellent PRMT5 inhibitory activity, potent antiproliferative activity against Z-138, favorable pharmacokinetic profiles, and low hERG toxicity.

The first FDA approved, MDR-TB inhibitory drug bedaquiline (BDQ), entraps the c-ring of the proton-translocating F region of enzyme ATP synthase of , thus obstructing successive ATP production. Present-day BDQ-resistance has been associated with cardiotoxicity and mutation(s) in the atpE gene encoding the c subunit of ATP synthase (ATPc) generating five distinct ATPc mutants: Ala63→Pro, Ile66→Met, Asp28→Gly, Asp28→Val and Glu61→Asp. We created three discrete libraries, first by repurposing bedaquiline via scaffold hopping approach, second one having natural plant compounds and the third being experimentally derived analogues of BDQ to identify one drug candidate that can inhibit ATPc activity more efficiently with less toxic properties.

FLT3-ITD and TKD mutants play a central role in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), making FLT3 an attractive target for AML treatment. To discover next-generation FLT3 inhibitors and gather additional structure-activity relationship (SAR) information, we performed structural modifications of G-749 (denfivontinib) utilizing structure simplification and scaffold hopping strategies. Among these derivatives, MY-10 exhibited the most potent and selective inhibition of MV4-11 cell proliferation, demonstrating potent inhibitory activity against FLT3-ITD (IC = 6.

The voltage-gated sodium channel Na1.8 (SCN10A) has strong genetic and pharmacological validation as a potential target for treating acute and chronic pain. While several different chemotypes have been advanced as selective inhibitors, a quinoxaline carboxamide core structure was identified as a particularly attractive core structure due to very high sodium channel subtype selectivity.
