Screening of a Custom-Designed Acid Fragment Library Identifies 1-Phenylpyrroles and 1-Phenylpyrrolidines as Inhibitors of Notum Carboxylesterase Activity. J.Med.Chem., 63:9464-9483, 2020 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The Wnt family of proteins are secreted signaling proteins that play key roles in regulating cellular functions. Recently, carboxylesterase Notum was shown to act as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling by mediating the removal of an essential palmitoleate. Here we disclose two new chemical scaffolds that inhibit Notum enzymatic activity. Our approach was to create a fragment library of 250 acids for screening against Notum in a biochemical assay followed by structure determination by X-ray crystallography. Twenty fragments were identified as hits for Notum inhibition, and 14 of these fragments were shown to bind in the palmitoleate pocket of Notum. Optimization of 1-phenylpyrrole , guided by structure-based drug design, identified as the most potent compound from this series. Similarly, the optimization of 1-phenylpyrrolidine gave acid . This work demonstrates that inhibition of Notum activity can be achieved by small, drug-like molecules possessing favorable ADME profiles.
