A fragment-based approach applied to a highly flexible target: Insights and challenges towards the inhibition of HSP70 isoforms.
Jones, AM; Westwood, IM; Osborne, JD; Matthews, TP; Cheeseman, MD; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-10-06)The heat shock protein 70s (HSP70s) are molecular chaperones implicated in many cancers and of significant interest as targets for novel cancer therapies. Several HSP70 inhibitors have been reported, but because the majority ... -
An Irreversible Inhibitor of HSP72 that Unexpectedly Targets Lysine-56.
Pettinger, J; Le Bihan, Y-V; Widya, M; van Montfort, RLM; Jones, K; et al. (WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2017-03-20)The stress-inducible molecular chaperone, HSP72, is an important therapeutic target in oncology, but inhibiting this protein with small molecules has proven particularly challenging. Validating HSP72 inhibitors in cells ... -
Demonstrating In-Cell Target Engagement Using a Pirin Protein Degradation Probe (CCT367766).
Chessum, NEA; Sharp, SY; Caldwell, JJ; Pasqua, AE; Wilding, B; et al. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-02-08)Demonstrating intracellular protein target engagement is an essential step in the development and progression of new chemical probes and potential small molecule therapeutics. However, this can be particularly challenging ... -
Discovery of a Chemical Probe Bisamide (CCT251236): An Orally Bioavailable Efficacious Pirin Ligand from a Heat Shock Transcription Factor 1 (HSF1) Phenotypic Screen.
Cheeseman, MD; Chessum, NEA; Rye, CS; Pasqua, AE; Tucker, MJ; et al. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2017-01-12)Phenotypic screens, which focus on measuring and quantifying discrete cellular changes rather than affinity for individual recombinant proteins, have recently attracted renewed interest as an efficient strategy for drug ... -
Exploiting Protein Conformational Change to Optimize Adenosine-Derived Inhibitors of HSP70.
Cheeseman, MD; Westwood, IM; Barbeau, O; Rowlands, M; Dobson, S; et al. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-05-26)HSP70 is a molecular chaperone and a key component of the heat-shock response. Because of its proposed importance in oncology, this protein has become a popular target for drug discovery, efforts which have as yet brought ... -
Investigating the phosphinic acid tripeptide mimetic DG013A as a tool compound inhibitor of the M1-aminopeptidase ERAP1.
Wilding, B; Pasqua, AE; E A Chessum, N; Pierrat, OA; Hahner, T; et al. (PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2021-06-15)ERAP1 is a zinc-dependent M1-aminopeptidase that trims lipophilic amino acids from the N-terminus of peptides. Owing to its importance in the processing of antigens and regulation of the adaptive immune response, dysregulation ... -
Privileged Structures and Polypharmacology within and between Protein Families.
Meyers, J; Chessum, NEA; Ali, S; Mok, NY; Wilding, B; et al. (AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2018-12-13)Polypharmacology is often a key contributor to the efficacy of a drug, but is also a potential risk. We investigated two hits discovered via a cell-based phenotypic screen, the CDK9 inhibitor CCT250006 (1) and the pirin ...
