Structure-activity relationship and properties optimization of a series of quinazoline-2,4-diones as inhibitors of the canonical Wnt pathway.

Abstract:

:Wnt signaling pathway plays a critical role in numerous cellular processes, including tumor initiation, proliferation, invasion/infiltration, metastasis formation and resistance to chemotherapy. In a drug discovery project aimed at the identification of inhibitors of the canonical Wnt pathway, we selected a series of quinazoline 2,4-diones as starting point for the therapeutic treatment of glioblastoma multiforme. Despite of poor physico-chemical properties of hit compound 1, our medicinal chemistry effort allowed the discovery and characterization of lead compound 33 (SEN461), with improved ADME profile, good bioavailability and active in vitro and in vivo in glioblastoma, gastric and sarcoma tumors.

  • Indexing molecules for their hERG liability.

    abstract::The human Ether-a-go-go-Related-Gene (hERG) potassium (K(+)) channel is liable to drug-inducing blockage that prolongs the QT interval of the cardiac action potential, triggers arrhythmia and possibly causes sudden cardiac death. Early prediction of drug liability to hERG K(+) channel is therefore highly important and...
