Development of a chemical probe against NUDT15

Abstract: The NUDIX hydrolase NUDT15 was originally implicated in sanitizing oxidized nucleotides but was later shown to hydrolyze the active thiopurine metabolites, 6-thio-(d)GTP, thereby dictating the clinical response of this standard-of-care treatment for leukemia and inflammatory diseases. Nonetheless, its physiological roles remain elusive. Here, we sought to develop the first small-molecule NUDT15 inhibitors to elucidate its biological functions, and potentially for improving NUDT15-dependent chemotherapeutics. L… Show more

“…A promising hit compound NSC56456 was identified, with its activity further confirmed using an in-house resynthesized and purified compound (referred to hereafter as TH7410; IC 50 in MG enzyme-coupled assay = 620 nM) (see supplemental experimental procedure). Subsequent medicinal chemistry efforts (inhibitor development and structuralactivity relationship study will be detailed in a separate paper, manuscript under preparation) further led to approximately 20fold potency improvement from TH7410, resulting in the lead compound TH8321 (MG IC 50 = 35 nM), which demonstrated potency comparable with that of the previously identified non-thiopurine derivative inhibitor, TH1760 (MG IC 50 = 34 nM) (Zhang et al, 2020) (Figure 3A). When assayed at 100 mM, TH8321 further demonstrated satisfactory selectivity among a panel of related proteins with sequential or functional resemblance to NUDT15, i.e., NUDT22, NUDT18, NUDT12, NUDT9, NUDT5, NUDT2, MTH1, ITPase, dCTPase, and dUTPase (Figures 3B and S3B).…”

“…The binding modality between TH8321 and NUDT15 was further elucidated by a NUDT15/TH8321 co-crystal structure at a resolution of 2.35 Å (Figures 3E and S3C). Comparing the binding interactions of the ligands in the different NUDT15 structures -in complex with TH8321, GCV-TP, 6-thio-GMP (PDB: 5LPG), or TH1760 (PDB: 6T5J) (Zhang et al, 2020), we see that TH8321 binds in a manner most similar to that of 6-thio-GMP (Figures S3D-S3F). Notably, the guanine moiety of TH8321 is situated the same as that of 6-thio-GMP, with the same hydrogen bonding to Leu45 and Gly137.…”
