Inhibition of the protein–protein interaction between B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) and corepressors has been implicated as a therapeutic target in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cancers and profiling of potent and selective BCL6 inhibitors are critical to test this hypothesis. We identified a pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine series of BCL6 binders from a fragment screen in parallel with a virtual screen. Using structure-based drug design, binding affinity was increased 100000-fold. This involved displacing crystallographic water, forming new ligand–protein interactions and a macrocyclization to favor the bioactive conformation of the ligands. Optimization for slow off-rate constant kinetics was conducted as well as improving selectivity against an off-target kinase, CK2. Potency in a cellular BCL6 assay was further optimized to afford highly selective probe molecules. Only weak antiproliferative effects were observed across a number of DLBCL lines and a multiple myeloma cell line without a clear relationship to BCL6 potency. As a result, we conclude that the BCL6 hypothesis in DLBCL cancer remains unproven.

吡唑并[1,5- a ]嘧啶B细胞淋巴瘤6(BCL6)粘合剂的发现和对高亲和力大环抑制剂的优化

抑制B细胞淋巴瘤6(BCL6)和共抑制因子之间的蛋白相互作用是在弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)癌症中的治疗目标,有效和选择性BCL6抑制剂的概况分析对于检验该假设至关重要。我们鉴定了吡唑并[1,5- a片段筛选中的] pyrimidine系列BCL6结合物与虚拟筛选平行。使用基于结构的药物设计,结合亲和力增加了100000倍。这包括置换结晶水,形成新的配体-蛋白质相互作用和大环化,以促进配体的生物活性构象。进行了慢速离解速率恒定动力学的优化,并提高了对脱靶激酶CK2的选择性。进一步优化了细胞BCL6分析的效价,以提供高度选择性的探针分子。在许多DLBCL细胞系和多发性骨髓瘤细胞系中仅观察到微弱的抗增殖作用,而与BCL6的效力没有明显的关系。结果,我们得出结论,DLBCL癌症中的BCL6假设仍未得到证实。
