Kinases are the largest drug targets currently being tested in clinical trials. All kinases possess a biolobal fold that is a smaller N-terminal and a larger C-terminal lobe joined together by a “hinge.” The cofactor ATP binds deeply into a pocket between the lobes and binds to the hinge region. The imposition of any other residue in this ATP-binding pocket controls access to the hydrophobic pocket by separating the adenine binding site from an adjacent hydrophobic pocket. Such residues are termed “gatekeepers,” and are critical considerations in the development of drugs to treat CML because of the mutations that these residues can ensue. Gatekeeper mutations that convert a small hydrophilic residue into a large hydrophobic residue are one example of what has been shown to result in drug resistance, specifically to the most well-known ABL inhibitors like imatinib (Gleevec) [4]. Ponatinib is a third generation type II pan-BCR-ABL kinase inhibitor, which allows it to bind even with the presence of gatekeeper mutations [5]. Type II inhibitors are classified by binding to the hydrophobic and allosteric pocket that is only accessible in the DFG-out conformation and that is next to the ATP binding pocket. Additionally, type II inhibitors extend deep into the adenine pocket and hydrogen bond with the hinge region [4]. This unique ability is caused by ponatinib’s ability to overcome resistances of the BCR-ABL gatekeeper mutant T315I at low concentrations (low IC50s ranging from 0.5 nM to 36 nM) by an ethynyl linker in the DFG-out conformation [5, 6]. The T315I mutation accounts for 15-20% of all clinically observed mutations and it is resistant to all previous generation drugs (imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib). Additionally, ponatinib has a very high potency against native ABL which allows the binding energy to be distributed over many protein residues [5]. | Kinases are the largest drug targets currently being tested in clinical trials.

The specific binding of ponatinib can be categorized into and explained by five major chemical components, they are: (1) the template that interacts with the hinge region; (2) the A ring that occupies the hydrophobic pocket behind the gatekeeper residue; (3) the key ethynyl linker that joins the template and A ring, and that interacts with the gatekeeper residue (linker 1); (4) the A-B ring linker (linker 2); and (5) the B ring that binds to the DFG-out pocket [5]. | The specific binding of ponatinib can be categorized into and explained by five major chemical components, they are: (1) the template that interacts with the hinge region; (2) the A ring that occupies the hydrophobic pocket behind the gatekeeper residue; (3) the key ethynyl linker that joins the template and A ring, and that interacts with the gatekeeper residue (linker 1); (4) the A-B ring linker (linker 2); and (5) the B ring that binds to the DFG-out pocket [5]. | ||

Ponatinib binds into the ATP binding pocket between the N and C lobes to induce a shift from the DFG-in to the DFG-out conformation. It covers an immense region that spans from the kinase hinge region (back of kinase) to the catalytic pocket (front of kinase). Three sites are engaged in the ATP binding cleft by ponatinib’s aromatic rings. In the first site, the imidazo[1,2b]pyridazine scaffold takes up the same space as the adenine ring of ATP and it is able to form one hydrogen bone with the backbone amide nitrogen atom of Ala553 in the hinge [7]. Both of its rings form several van der Waals contacts with residues in the N and C lobes of the adenine binding site as well [5]. Rigid acetylene linkage drives the rest of the drug into the back of the ATP binding pocket. In the second site, the methylphenyl group displaces the side chain of the catalytic Lys503 and its aromatic ring binds to the hydrophobic pocket that is formed by Val550, the gatekeeper residue, and Met524 [7]. Val550 is stabilized by the benzimide group [6]. This displacement allows Glu520 in the αC helix to hydrogen bond with the amide linkage between the aromatic rings in ponatinib. In the third site, Phe631 of DFG is expelled out of the cleft by ponatinib’s 3-trifluoromethylphenyl moiety, which takes the place of Phe631. Phe631’s new position enables it to make hydrophobic contact with the drug’s scaffold and acetylene linker. Also, Asp630 of DFG becomes available for hydrogen bonding with the amide linkage between the aromatic rings in ponatinib. This also puts the piperazine ring in the position to engage in hydrogen bonding with the catalytic loop. This is shift forms the DFG-out conformation [7]. | Ponatinib binds into the ATP binding pocket between the N and C lobes to induce a shift from the DFG-in to the DFG-out conformation.

Other inhibitors are not as potent as ponatinib against FGFR kinases because they are unable to penetrate far enough to access the third site and assume the DFG-out conformation [7]. | Other inhibitors are not as potent as ponatinib against FGFR kinases because they are unable to penetrate far enough to access the third site and assume the DFG-out conformation [7]. | ||
