5GGZ - PubMed Abstract:
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a potential target for oncology therapeutics. Some inhibitors have shown antitumor effects in clinical trials, spurring the discovery of small molecule Hsp90 inhibitors. Here, we describe the structural optimization studies of a hit compound, tetrahydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidine-based Hsp90 inhibitor 15, which exhibits inhibitory activity against Hsp90. A series of analogues were synthesized, and their structure-activity and structure-property relationships were analyzed. These explorations led to the discovery of compound 73, which exhibited potent in vitro activities, good physicochemical properties, favorable ADME properties, and a potent antitumor effect in an HCT116 xenograft model. Furthermore, 73 exhibited no ocular toxicity in a rat retinal damage model, suggesting it is a relatively safe Hsp90 inhibitor. As a promising antitumor agent, 73 was progressed for further preclinical evaluation.
