We propose a hybrid mechanism for MAO where the formation of FAD-N5-ylide causes a reversible covalent inhibition, which can be modulated for designing superior therapeutics.

<p>PROteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) represent an exciting inhibitory modality with many advantages, including sub-stoichiometric degradation of targets. Their scope, though, is still limited to-date by the requirement for a sufficiently potent target binder. A solution that proved useful in tackling challenging targets is the use of electrophiles to allow irreversible binding to the target. However, such binding will negate the catalytic nature of PROTACs. Reversible covalent PROTACs offer the best of both worlds. They possess the potency and selectivity associated with the formation of the covalent bond, while being able to dissociate and regenerate once the protein target is degraded. Using Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) as a clinically relevant model system, we present a proof-of concept for the first in class cyanoacrylamide reversible covalent PROTACs. We show efficient degradation with reversible covalent PROTACs, as well as their non-covalent and irreversible counterparts. The latter are amongst the most efficient PROTACs reported for BTK. They display single digit nM DC50, full degradation within 2-4 hours, proteome wide selectivity and show ~10-fold better inhibition of B cell activation than Ibrutinib. These examples refute the notion that covalent binders are not suitable as the basis for PROTACs, and may pave the way for the design of covalent PROTACs for a wide variety of challenging targets.</p>

In the context of bioactivity prediction, the question of how to calibrate a score produced by a machine learning method into reliable probability of binding to a protein target is not yet satisfactorily addressed. In this study, we compared the performance of three such methods, namely Platt Scaling, Isotonic Regression and Venn-ABERS in calibrating prediction scores for ligand-target prediction comprising the Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machines and Random Forest algorithms with bioactivity data available at AstraZeneca (40 million data points (compound-target pairs) across 2112 targets). Performance was assessed using Stratified Shuffle Split (SSS) and Leave 20% of Scaffolds Out (L20SO) validation.
