  • Discovery of selective fragment-sized immunoproteasome inhibitors
    Kollár, Levente ...
    Proteasomes contribute to maintaining protein homeostasis and their inhibition is beneficial in certain types of cancer and in autoimmune diseases. However, the inhibition of the proteasomes in ... healthy cells leads to unwanted side-effects and significant effort has been made to identify inhibitors specific for the immunoproteasome, especially to treat diseases which manifest increased levels and activity of this proteasome isoform. Here, we report our efforts to discover fragment-sized inhibitors of the human immunoproteasome. The screening of an in-house library of structurally diverse fragments resulted in the identification of benzo[d]oxazole-2(3H)-thiones, benzo[d]thiazole-2(3H)-thiones, benzo[d]imidazole-2(3H)-thiones, and 1-methylbenzo[d]imidazole-2(3H)-thiones (with a general term benzoXazole-2(3H)-thiones) as inhibitors of the chymotrypsin-like ([beta]5i) subunit of the immunoproteasome. A subsequent structure-activity relationship study provided us with an insight regarding growing vectors. Binding to the [beta]5i subunit was shown and selectivity against the [beta]5 subunit of the constitutive proteasome was determined. Thorough characterization of these compounds suggested that they inhibit the immunoproteasome by forming a disulfide bond with the Cys48 available specifically in the [beta]75i active site. To obtain fragments with biologically more tractable covalent interaction, we performed a warhead scan, which yielded benzoXazole-2-carbonitriles as promising starting points for the development of selective immunoproteasome inhibitors with non-peptidic scaffolds.
