Salt-inducible kinases (SIKs) are key metabolic regulators. The imbalance in SIK function is associated with the development of diverse cancers, including breast, gastric, and ovarian cancers. Chemical tools to clarify the roles of SIK in different diseases are, however, sparse and are generally characterized by poor kinome-wide selectivity. Here, we have adapted the pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one-based p21-activated kinase (PAK) inhibitor G-5555 for the targeting of SIK, by exploiting differences in the back-pocket region of these kinases. Optimization was supported by high-resolution crystal structures of G-5555 bound to the known off-targets, MST3 and MST4, leading to a chemical probe, MRIA9, with dual SIK/PAK activity and excellent selectivity over other kinases. Furthermore, we show that MRIA9 sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to treatment with the mitotic agent paclitaxel, confirming earlier data from genetic knockdown studies and suggesting a combination therapy with SIK inhibitors and paclitaxel for the treatment of paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer.

Signaling pathways intersecting with the p21-activated kinases (PAKs) play important roles in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. By recognizing that the limitations of FRAX1036 (1) were chiefly associated with the highly basic amine it contained, we devised a mitigation strategy to address several issues such as hERG activity. The 5-amino-1,3-dioxanyl moiety was identified as an effective means of reducing pKa and logP simultaneously. When positioned properly within the scaffold, this group conferred several benefits including potency, pharmacokinetics, and selectivity. Mouse xenograft PK/PD studies were carried out using an advanced compound, G-5555 (12), derived from this approach. These studies concluded that dose-dependent pathway modulation was achievable and paves the way for further in vivo investigations of PAK1 function in cancer and other diseases.

A practical synthesis of α-haloaryl esters has been achieved via a chemoselective Negishi coupling of poly-halogenated aromatics and Reformatsky reagents in the presence of catalytic Pd(dba)2 and Xantphos. This chemistry tolerates a variety of aryl halides and was successfully applied to the synthesis of Ibuprofen. The α-haloaryl ester products, exemplified by ethyl 2-(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl)acetate (3a), can be further functionalized via palladium or copper catalysis to afford an array of α-aryl esters.
