Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives as novel Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) inhibitors
Bioorganic chemistry(2021)
摘要
The Src homology-2 domain containing-protein tyrosine phosphatase-2 (SHP2) is a convergent node for oncogenic cell-signaling cascades including the PD-L1/PD-1 pathway. As an oncoprotein as well as a potential immunomodulator, SHP2 has now emerged as an attractive target for novel anti-cancer agents. Although significant progress has been made in identifying chemotypes of SHP2 inhibitors, these specific compounds might not be clinically useful to inhibit frequently encountered mutated SHP2 variants. Consequently, it is highly desirable to develop chemically different SHP2 inhibitors sensitive to SHP2 mutants. This work developed a new type of SHP2 inhibitors with 2,5-diaryl-1,3,4-oxadiazole scaffold. The representative compound 6l exhibited SHP2 inhibitory activity with IC50 of 2.73 +/- 0.20 mu M, showed about 1.56-fold, 5.26-fold, and 7.36-fold selectivity for SHP2 over SHP1, PTP1B and TCPTP respectively. Further investigations confirmed that 6l behaved as mixedtype inhibitor sensitive to leukemia cell TF-1 and inhibited SHP2 mediated cell signaling and proliferation. Molecular dynamics simulation provided more detailed information on the binding modes of compounds and SHP2 protein. These preliminary results could provide a possible opportunity for the development of novel SHP2 inhibitors sensitive to SHP2 mutants with optimal potency and improved pharmacological properties.
