Discovery of novel enasidenib analogues targeting inhibition of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 as antileukaemic agents
Journal of enzyme inhibition and medicinal chemistry(2023)
Abstract
Mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 2 "IDH2m" acquires a neo-enzymatic activity reducing alpha-ketoglutarate to an oncometabolite, D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Three s-triazine series were designed and synthesised using enasidenib as a lead compound. In vitro anticancer screening via National Cancer Institute "NCI" revealed that analogues 6a, 6c, 6d, 7g, and 7l were most potent, with mean growth inhibition percentage "GI%" = 66.07, 66.00, 53.70, 35.10, and 81.15, respectively, followed by five-dose screening. Compounds 6c, 6e, and 7c were established as the best IDH2(R140Q) inhibitors compared to enasidenib, reporting IC50 = 101.70, 67.01, 88.93, and 75.51 nM, respectively. More importantly, 6c, 6e, and 7c displayed poor activity against the wild-type IDH2, IC50 = 2928, 2295, and 3128 nM, respectively, which implementing high selectivity and accordingly safety. Furthermore, 6c was screened for cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, and western blot analysis. Finally, computational tools were applied to predict physicochemical properties and binding poses in IDH2(R140Q) allosteric site.
