- W2499403700 abstract "The marketed BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), imatinib (Gleevec™) is a very successful targeted anti-cancer therapy. It has revolutionized the treatment of early stage or chronic phase (CP) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Unfortunately, a proportion of CP patients experience suboptimal responses to BCR-ABL TKIs, and progress to blast crisis (BC) stage of CML with poor survival rate. A potential cause of the resistance to TKI is the elevated level of phosphorylated eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), which has been found to be a consistent feature in patient-derived BC-CML samples. Importantly, both in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that the MAP kinase-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinases 1 and 2 (MNK1/2) phosphorylate eIF4E on Ser209, and that the overexpression of eIF4E drives oncogenesis in a variety of cancers including BC-CML. Furthermore, several reports have indicated that eIF4E phosphorylation at Ser209, as well as eIF4E overexpression, is critical to tumor progression. We found that a BC-CML cell line, K562, that expresses a serine to alanine phospho-mutant at position 209 of eIF4E, shows reduced ability to form tumors in mice compared to wildtype eIF4E. In addition, our recent work has demonstrated the importance of the MNK-eIF4E axis in activating BC leukemia stem cell (LSC) function (Lim et al., PNAS18; 110(25):E2298-307, 2013). These data highlight the critical importance of MNK1/2-dependent eIF4E phosphorylation in cancer progression and maintenance, and suggests that inhibition of MNK1/2 is an attractive therapeutic approach to treat BC-CML. Consequently, we set out to identify selective inhibitors of the MNK1/2 kinases to treat BC-CML patients. Here, we report our hit finding strategy, as well as our hit to lead optimization process. Results describing structure activity relationships, pharmacokinetics properties, and biochemical characteristics of a highly specific MNK1/2 inhibitor, are presented. Our data demonstrate that drug-like molecules can be developed to potently and specifically inhibit the MNK kinases. We also show that simultaneous inhibition of MNK and BCR-ABL is effective at inhibiting BCR-ABL-driven growth and proliferation, as well as inhibiting the MNK-eIF4E-dependent self-renewal function of BC-LSCs. A combination of selective MNK and BCR-ABL inhibitors may provide clinical benefit to BC-CML patients.
