PIM-1 Inhibitor 2

Potent Pim-1 kinase inhibitor (K_i = 91 nM).

Identification of N-(4-((1R,3S,5S)-3-Amino-5-methylcyclohexyl)pyridin-3-yl)-6-(2,6-difluorophenyl)- 5-fluoropicolinamide (PIM447), a Potent and Selective Proviral Insertion Site of Moloney Murine Leukemia (PIM) 1, 2, and 3 Kinase Inhibitor in Clinical Trials for Hematological Malignancies.[Pubmed:26505898]

Pan proviral insertion site of Moloney murine leukemia (PIM) 1, 2, and 3 kinase inhibitors have recently begun to be tested in humans to assess whether pan PIM kinase inhibition may provide benefit to cancer patients. Herein, the synthesis, in vitro activity, in vivo activity in an acute myeloid leukemia xenograft model, and preclinical profile of the potent and selective pan PIM kinase inhibitor compound 8 (PIM447) are described. Starting from the reported aminopiperidyl pan PIM kinase inhibitor compound 3, a strategy to improve the microsomal stability was pursued resulting in the identification of potent aminocyclohexyl pan PIM inhibitors with high metabolic stability. From this aminocyclohexyl series, compound 8 entered the clinic in 2012 in multiple myeloma patients and is currently in several phase 1 trials of cancer patients with hematological malignancies.

Docking study yields four novel inhibitors of the protooncogene Pim-1 kinase.[Pubmed:18290603]

To supplement the hits from a high throughput screen, docking was performed against Pim-1 kinase. Glide docking was augmented with a filter to require traditional or aromatic CH..O hydrogen bonds to the kinase hinge. Four diverse actives, of 96 molecules assayed, had K(i) values between 0.091 and 4.5 microM. This gives a 14-fold enrichment over the earlier HTS run, and the two crystal structures solved confirmed the binding modes predicted by docking.
