Definitions
- TECHNICAL FIELD [0003] The present disclosure relates to methods of ligand-directed, covalent modification of tyrosines, tryptophans, and pyrrolated lysines in proteins using cyclic imine Mannich electrophiles.
- BACKGROUND [0004] The number and diversity of covalent inhibitors has increased dramatically in recent years. The majority are targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs), which are rationally designed to bind to a protein target and then form a covalent bond. A TCI brings a reactive moiety (typically an electrophile of low reactivity) directly adjacent to an amino acid side chain, inducing a high effective concentration.
- TCIs targeted covalent inhibitors
- PPIs protein-protein interfaces
- Cysteines are rare amino acids and are also poorly represented in PPIs (Way et al. Curr. Opin. Chem. Biol.2000, 4(1), 40-46; Arkin et al. Chem. Biol.2014, 21(9), 1102-1114; Cheng et al. J. Hematol. Oncol.2020, 13(1), 1-14; Abbasov et al. Nat. Chem.2021, 13(11) 1081-1092). Development of additional chemical warheads for targeting additional residues will further expand the utility of TCIs (Gehringer et al. J. Med. Chem.2019, 62(12), 5673-5724; Mukherjee et al. Curr. Opin. Chem.
- Tyrosines are attractive targets due to their functions in non-covalent interactions including hydrogen bonding, cation-pi or pi-pi interactions, and hydrophobic interactions (Koide et al. ACS Chem. Biol.2009, 4(5), 325-334; Hett et al. ACS Chem. Biol.2015, 10(4), 1094-1098; Gambini et al. J. Med. Chem.2019, 62(11), 5616-5627) . While tyrosine is an amino acid of low abundance (3% of protein amino acids) (Bartesaghi et al.
- Aryl diazonium salts also have been used to conjugate tyrosine, but high reactivity and poor stability limit their use in TCIs (Schlick et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.2005, 127(11), 3718-3723; Hooker et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc.2004, 126(12), 3718-3719; Sengupta et al. Or. Biomol. Chem.2019, 17(36), 8308-8329) .

- the present disclosure also provides for a protein comprising a ligand binding site, which comprises one or more tyrosine, tryptophan or pyrrolated lysine resides, the side chains of which have been selectively covalently modified by the method disclosed herein.
- the present disclosure also provides for a cyclic imine Mannich electrophile appended to a ligand that binds to a target protein, wherein the modified ligand is suitable for reacting the side chain of the tyrosine, tryptophan or pyrrole-lysine of the target protein with the cyclic imine Mannich electophile appended ligand. It is further provided that the modified ligand is bound by a target protein active site. It is further provided that the modified ligand is bound by the target protein active site with measurable specificity.
- the present disclosure also provides for a kit for covalently modifying a tyrosine, tryptophan, or pyrrolated lysine of a target protein, the kit comprising a cyclic imine Mannich electrophile appended to a ligand that binds the protein, suitable for reacting the side chain of the tyrosine, tryptophan or pyrrole-lysine of the target protein with the cyclic imine Mannich electophile appended ligand.
- the present disclosure also provides for a kit for covalently modifying a tyrosine, tryptophan, or pyrrolated lysine of a target protein, the kit comprising a reagent comprising a cyclic imine Mannich electrophile suitable for being appended to a ligand that binds a target protein; a reagent suitable for reacting the side chain of the tyrosine, tryptophan or pyrrole-lysine of a target protein with a cyclic imine Mannich electophile appended ligand.

- Aryl refers to a radical derived from an aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic hydrocarbon ring system by removing a hydrogen atom from a ring carbon atom.
- the aromatic monocyclic or multicyclic hydrocarbon ring system contains only hydrogen and from five to eighteen carbon atoms, where at least one of the rings in the ring system is fully unsaturated, i.e., it contains a cyclic, delocalized (4n+2) pi–electron system in accordance with the Hückel theory.
- the ring systems from which aryl groups are derived include, but are not limited to, benzene, fluorene, indane, indene, tetralin and naphthalene.
- the reacting is carried out under conditions that enable or promote the reaction of the side chain of the tyrosine, tryptophan or pyrrole-lysine with the cyclic imine Mannich electrophile appended to a ligand that binds to the protein.
- the reacting can be carried out in vitro, e.g., in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7, at 37°C.

- the ligand can be one synthesized to interact with the protein, such as with the ligand binding site of the protein or another site which, upon binding, modulates (e.g., inhibits or promotes) the ability of the ligand binding site to bind a ligand.
- the reaction of the cyclic imine Mannich electrophile with the side chain of a tyrosine, tryptophan or pyrrole-lysine in or near (e.g., adjacent) the ligand binding site results in a covalent modification, which, depending on the nature of the protein-ligand interaction and any downstream effect(s) of that interaction, can inhibit (i.e., down-regulate or turn “off”) or activate (i.e., up-regulate or turn “on”) the protein and, consequently, any downstream effect(s) of the change in activity of the protein.

- This reaction rate is similar to the intrinsic rates of cysteine to acrylamides (1 x 10 -2 to 1 x 10 -4 M -1 s -1 ), which are commonly used in 69838-02 covalent drugs (Lonsdale et al. J. Chem. Inf. Model. 2017, 57(12), 3124-3137).
- the ⁇ 10- fold increase in rate constant of 2 relative to 1 indicates the tunability of imine reactivity with adjacent electron withdrawing groups.
- the tryptophan mimic 3-methyl indole, reacts with 1 to form multiple products, likely a mixture of N-substitution and C2/C3- Mannich- or Pictet Spangler-type additions (McFarland et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.2008, 130(24), 7639-7644; Antos et al. J. Am. Chem. 69838-02 Soc.2004, 126(33), 10256-10257; Larda et al. Bioconjug. Chem.2015, 26(12), 2376-2383) (Fig. 6).
- N-ethyl pyrrole as a mimic of pyrrolated lysine, a lesser-known post-translational modification (Miyashita et al. Sci. Rep.2014, 4, 5343; Chikazawa et al. J. Biol. Chem.2020, 295(22), 7697-7709) .
- Pyrroles are particularly electron-rich aromatic groups that react rapidly in Mannich-type reactions.
- Previous work with N- pyrrolyl alanine derivatives has shown fast and selective Pictet–Spengler reactions with aldehyde-containing biomolecules (Pomplun et al. Angew. Chemie Int.
- Example 3 Stability and reversibility of cyclic imines with tyrosine and cysteine [0057] To validate the stability of cyclic imines as covalent warheads, imines 1-4 were evaluated by LC/MS after 96-hours incubation in PBS, 0.1M HCl, and 0.1M NaOH (Table 1). Compounds 1 and 4 were stable under all conditions. Both ester-containing compounds 2 and 3 hydrolyzed under basic conditions. Aromatic ester imine 3 was unstable in PBS, with a mixture of hydrolysis and Mannich reaction with the hydrolysis product 2-amino phenol.
- the pre-formed thioaminal product of 1 with N-acetyl-cysteine methyl amide was treated with either glutathione (1 M) or Ac-Tyr-NHMe (100 mM). Both glutathione and Ac-Tyr-NHMe outcompeted the cysteine product after 24 hours (Fig.8).
- glutathione and Ac-Tyr-NHMe outcompeted the cysteine product after 24 hours (Fig.8).
- the cyclic imine-Tyr reaction (at 5 mM and 100 mM, respectively) was evaluated over time in the presence of cysteine (5 mM) (Fig.9). The presence of cysteine slightly slowed the reaction rate of tyrosine-imine compared to the control.
- Example 4 Covalent labeling of cyclic imine with tyrosine-containing peptide (angiotensin II) and protein (CBX8 chromo-domain) [0061] To confirm reactivity and selectivity with a peptide context, imine 1 (50 mM) was incubated with the tyrosine-containing 8-mer peptide angiotensin II (DRVYIHPF) (10 mM) (Fig.10). The combined yield of mono-labeled and di-labeled angiotensin II was ⁇ 45% as quantified by LC/MS.
- DUVYIHPF tyrosine-containing 8-mer peptide angiotensin II
- CBX8 chromodomain CBX8 chromodomain
- SW2_110A demonstrates high selectivity for CBX8 over CBX4, CBX6, and CBX7, it is only 6-fold selective over CBX2.
- Amino acid sequence alignment and an X-ray crystal structure of a similar ligand (UNC3866) bound to CBX8 (Fig.11B) 69838-02 were used to identify a tyrosine (Y39) residue adjacent the diethyl lysine binding site that is a histidine in CBX2.
- Example 6 Covalent labeling of cyclic imine containing ligands to CBX8 ChD [0069] To evaluate the reaction with CBX8 ChD, all cyclic imine ligands were tested with purified CBX8 ChD. To saturate the binding of inhibitor to protein, 10 ⁇ M of the covalent inhibitors were incubated with 10 ⁇ M CBX8 ChD ( ⁇ 10-fold over the K d ) in PBS buffer at 37 °C for 12 hours.
- Example 7 [0071] Time-dependent fluorescence displacement assay [0072] A fluorescence polarization (FP) displacement assay was used to evaluate the covalent binding of cyclic imine warhead containing inhibitors. Without additional incubation time, the non-covalent inhibitor SW2_110A and optimal covalent inhibitors P1b ( iminolactam) and P2 (iminolactone) had comparable IC 50 values, which suggests that the structural modification of the warhead does not significantly change the affinity.
- FP fluorescence polarization
- CBX8 was robustly enriched using the biotinylated, covalent inhibitor P2-B.
- P2-B protein significantly enriched with P2-B (log 2 (P2- B/DMSO) > 3, P ⁇ 0.001), only 69838-02 CBX8 enrichment was significantly reduced with competing non-reactive ligand SW2_110A, indicating ligand-dependent, covalent labeling of endogenous CBX8 from lysates. Results were similar using iminolactam inhibitor P1bP.
- Example 10 [0082] Cellular activity of covalent inhibitors in MLL-AF9 transformed leukemia cell line [0083] Imine inhibitors were assessed for improved cellular activity using a disease-relevant cell model.
- inhibitor P1b was the most effective at reducing HOXA9 gene expression where 10 ⁇ M P1b treatment reduced gene expression to a similar extent as 100 ⁇ M SW2_110A (Fig.15A).
- the two optimal inhibitors P1bP and P2 were subsequently tested for dose-dependency in this cellular assay. Dose curves indicate that these covalent inhibitors have 30 to 100-fold improvement of cellular activity compared to the non-covalent inhibitor (Fig.15B).
- references to “the method” includes one or more methods and/or steps of the type, which are described herein and/or which will become apparent to those ordinarily skilled in the art upon reading the disclosure.
