Mutated or amplified Her2 serves as a driver of non-small cell lung cancer or mediates resistance toward the inhibition of its family member epidermal growth factor receptor with small-molecule inhibitors. To date, small-molecule inhibitors targeting Her2 which can be used in clinical routine are lacking, and therefore, the development of novel inhibitors was undertaken. In this study, the well-established pyrrolopyrimidine scaffold was modified with structural motifs identified from a screening campaign with more than 1600 compounds, which were applied against wild-type Her2 and its mutant variant Her2-A775_G776insYVMA. The resulting inhibitors were designed to covalently target a reactive cysteine in the binding site of Her2 and were further optimized by means of structure-based drug design utilizing a set of obtained complex crystal structures. In addition, the analysis of binding kinetics and absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion parameters as well as mass spectrometry experiments and western blot analysis substantiated our approach.

HER2 kinase as a well-established target for breast cancer (BC) therapy is associated with aggressive clinical outcomes; thus, herein we present structural optimization for HER2-selective targeting. HER2 profiling of the developed derivatives demonstrated

Up to date, the current clinical practice employs only symptomatic treatments for management of Parkinson's disease (PD) but unable to stop disease progression. The discovery of new chemical entities endowed with potent and selective human monoamine oxidase B (hMAO-B) inhibitory activity is a clinically relevant subject. Herein, a structural optimization strategy for safinamide (a well-known second generation hMAO-B inhibitor) afforded a series of thirty-six safinamide-derived new analogs (4aa–bj). Most compounds showed promising inhibitory activities against hMAO-B (>70% inhibition at a single dose concentration of 10 μM), with no apparent effect on hMAO-A at 100 μM. Moreover, while six compounds (4ak, 4as, 4az, 4be, 4bg, and 4bi) exhibited potent double-digit nanomolar activities over hMAO-B with IC50 values of 29.5, 42.2, 22.3, 18.8, 42.2, and 33.9 nM, respectively, three derivatives (4aq, 4at, and 4bf), possessing the same carboxamide moiety (2-pyrazinyl), showed the most potent single-digit nanomolar activities (IC50 = 9.7, 5.1, and 3.9 nM, respectively). Compound 4bf revealed an excellent selectivity index (SI > 25641) with a 29-fold increase compared to safinamide (SI > 892). A structure activity relationship along with molecular docking simulations provided insights into enzyme ? inhibitor interactions and a rational for the observed activity. In an in vivo MPTP-induced mouse model of PD, oral administration of compound 4bf significantly protected nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons as revealed by tyrosine hydroxylase staining and prevented MPTP-induced Parkinsonism as revealed by motor behavioral assays. Accordingly, we present compound 4bf as a novel, highly potent, and selective hMAO-B inhibitor with an effective therapeutic profile for relieving PD.
