A structure-guided hybridization approach using two privileged substructures gave instant access to a new series of tankyrase inhibitors. The identified inhibitor 16 displays high target affinity on tankyrase 1 and 2 with biochemical and cellular IC 50 values of 29 nM, 6.3 nM and 19 nM, respectively, and high selectivity toward other poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes. The identified inhibitor shows a favorable in vitro ADME profile as well as good oral bioavailability in mice, rats, and dogs. Critical for the approach was the utilization of an appropriate linker between 1,2,4-triazole and benzimidazolone moieties, whereby a cyclobutyl linker displayed superior affinity compared to a cyclohexane and phenyl linker.
