Definitions

  • BCL-2 BCL-2 family proteins and their drug-resistant mutations, and may be useful for the treatment of hyper-proliferative diseases like cancer and inflammation, or immune and autoimmune diseases.
  • Hyper-proliferative diseases like cancer and inflammation are attracting the scientific community to provide therapeutic benefits. In this regard, efforts have been made to identify and target specific mechanisms that drive the disease initiation and progression.
  • PPIs Protein-protein interactions
  • the BCL-2 family of proteins are central to the regulation of apoptosis, which are vital for proper tissue development and cellular homeostasis. Apoptosis occurs via activation of two different pathways. The extrinsic pathway, triggered by activation of the intrinsic pathway involves members of the BCL-2 family of proteins.
  • the BCL-2 family proteins include anti-apoptotic proteins, such as BCL-2, BCL-X L and Mcl-1, and pro-apoptotic proteins, including Bid, Bim, Bad, Bak and Bax.
  • BCL-2 proteins are under investigation as potential therapeutic drug targets which include, for example, BCL-2 and BCL-X L .
  • Expression of BCL-2 proteins is an independent indicator of poor prognosis in tumors including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) , prostate cancer, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) .
  • CLL chronic lymphocytic leukemia
  • SCLC small cell lung cancer
  • BCL-X L expression is linked to grade and stage, and in hepatocellular cancer, BCL-X L expression is an independent marker of poorer overall and disease-free survival.
  • Venetolax as a potent first-generation BCL-2 inhibitor, selectively inhibits BCL-2 by binding its key hydrophobic groove, which is the same site that sequesters its physiological ligands (BH3 domain-containing pro-apoptotic proteins) , thus attenuating the tumor progression.
  • BCL-2 the mutations in the drug-binding sites of BCL-2, such as G101V, D103Y, F104L, F104C, etc., is one of the key mechanisms driving drug resistance.
  • BCL-2 inhibitors were disclosed in the arts, e.g. WO 2011149492, many suffer from short half-life or toxicity. Therefore, there is a need for new BCL-2 inhibitors that have at least one advantageous property selected from solubility, drug-drug interactions, potency, stability, selectivity, toxicity, drug resistance, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics properties as an alternative for the treatment of hyper-proliferative diseases.

  • Stable isotope labeling of a drug can alter its physico-chemical properties such as pKa and lipid solubility. These effects and alterations can affect the pharmacodynamic response of the drug molecule if the isotopic substitution affects a region involved in a ligand-receptor interaction. While some of the physical properties of a stable isotope-labeled molecule are different from those of the unlabeled one, the chemical and biological properties are the same, with one important exception: because of the increased mass of the heavy isotope, any bond involving the heavy isotope and another atom will be stronger than the same bond between the light isotope and that atom. Accordingly, the incorporation of an isotope at a site of metabolism or enzymatic transformation will slow said reactions potentially altering the pharmacokinetic profile or efficacy relative to the non-isotopic compound.
