Porcupine is an O-acyltransferase that regulates Wnt secretion. Inhibiting porcupine may block the Wnt pathway which is often dysregulated in various cancers. Consequently porcupine inhibitors are thought to be promising oncology therapeutics. A high throughput screen against porcupine revealed several potent hits that were confirmed to be Wnt pathway inhibitors in secondary assays. We developed a pharmacophore model and used the putative bioactive conformation of a xanthine inhibitor for scaffold hopping. The resulting maleimide scaffold was optimized to subnanomolar potency while retaining good physical druglike properties. A preclinical development candidate was selected for which extensive in vitro and in vivo profiling is reported.

Rearrangement of alkoxycarbonyl imidazole acryl azides in phenyl ether at 200 deg C yields imidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidinone or imidazo[1,5-c]pyridinone derivatives, depending on the size of the alkoxy substituent.
