초록보기

Aurora kinases are a family of cell division regulators that govern the correct assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle and the fidelity of chromosome segregation. Their overexpression is associated with genomic instability and aneuploidy, and is frequently observed in cancer.

Accordingly, competitive inhibitors targeting Aurora kinase activity at the ATP-binding site are being investigated for therapeutic purposes. Despite promising pre-clinical data, these molecules display moderate effects in clinical trials and incomplete selectivity. As an alternative approach, protein-protein interaction inhibitors targeting mitotic kinases and their activators can be exploited to achieve increased specificity of action. In this study, a virtual screening of small molecules against the TPX2 interaction site, which also acts as the allosteric site, of AurkA led to the identification of 40 potential inhibitors. in vitro AurkA assay confirmed that a unique scaffold-containing hit compound 1 inhibits Aurora-A in the low micromolar range.

We synthesized diverse analogues of B6 and found an improved analogue that has an equipotent to the reported allosteric inhibitor AurkinA. The novel allosteric inhibitor of AurkA is in a further optimization towards anticancer drugs.

Monoamine oxidase are a family of enzymes that perform oxidation of monoamines. MAOs play vital role in the inactivation of neurotransmitters. MAO-A mainly metabolizes the tyramine and MAO-B catalyzes the oxidative deamination of dopamine. Motor symptoms of parkinson's disease are caused by extensive loss of dopaminergic neurons resulting in nigrostriatal dopamine deficiency. Accordingly, MAO-B inhibitors dopamine degradation in nigrostriatal pathway and could be developed as drugs to modulate Parkinson's disease.

Here, we performed an in silico screening using machine learning method against about 100,000 small molecule library. Amongst the virtual hits, forty-two compounds were purchased and surprisingly 6 of them showed IC50s of less than 100 nM against human MAO-B. All of the 6 hits exhibited >100 μM selectivity over human MAO-A. We picked up 2 hits and synthesized analogues to identify selective, potent MAO-B inhibitors.

We wish to demonstrate the powerfulness of AI-driven virtual screening as a tool to streamline the hit identification process and disclose structure-activity relationship of our hit compounds.
