Discovery of Novel Pyrazolo-pyridone DCN1 Inhibitors Controlling Cullin Neddylation. J.Med.Chem., 62:8429-8442, 2019 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Chemical control of cullin neddylation is attracting increased attention based largely on the successes of the NEDD8-activating enzyme (E1) inhibitor pevonedistat. Recently reported chemical probes enable selective and time-dependent inhibition of downstream members of the neddylation trienzymatic cascade including the co-E3, DCN1. In this work, we report the optimization of a novel class of small molecule inhibitors of the DCN1-UBE2M interaction. Rational X-ray co-structure enabled optimization afforded a 25-fold improvement in potency relative to the initial screening hit. The potency gains are largely attributed to additional hydrophobic interactions mimicking the N-terminal acetyl group that drives binding of UBE2M to DCN1. The compounds inhibit the protein-protein interaction, block NEDD8 transfer in biochemical assays, engage DCN1 in cells, and selectively reduce the steady-state neddylation of Cul1 and Cul3 in two squamous carcinoma cell lines harboring DCN1 amplification.
