Crystal structure of selective IRE1a inhibitor 29 at the enzyme active site
Structural highlights
FunctionERN1_HUMAN Senses unfolded proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum via its N-terminal domain which leads to enzyme auto-activation. The active endoribonuclease domain splices XBP1 mRNA to generate a new C-terminus, converting it into a potent unfolded-protein response transcriptional activator and triggering growth arrest and apoptosis.[1] [2] [3] [UniProtKB:Q9EQY0] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe lack of selective and safe in vivo IRE1alpha tool molecules has limited the evaluation of IRE1alpha as a viable target to treat multiple myeloma. Focus on improving the physicochemical properties of a literature compound by decreasing lipophilicity, molecular weight, and basicity allowed the discovery of a novel series with a favorable in vitro safety profile and good oral exposure. These efforts culminated in the identification of a potent and selective in vivo tool compound, G-5758, that was well tolerated following multiday oral administration of doses up to 500 mg/kg. G-5758 demonstrated comparable pharmacodynamic effects to induced IRE1 knockdown as measured by XBP1s levels in a multiple myeloma model (KMS-11).
