To expedite functional studies of human ClpP we introduce tailored small molecule inhibitors. These compounds are active against the proteolytic ClpXP complex. Target identification elucidates anti-proliferative effects against cancer cells.

ABSTRACTHomologous recombination (HR) is a principal support pathway for DNA replication and for recovery from DNA breaks and interstrand crosslinks, making it a rational target for inhibition in cancer therapy. The ATPase RAD54 functions in molecular events that promote DNA sequence-preservation during HR-mediated damage repair, including homology search, DNA strand exchange, and transition to DNA repair synthesis within a displacement loop intermediate. We developed a high-throughput biochemical screen to identify small-molecule inhibitors of human RAD54, using a phosphate detection assay to monitor RAD54 ATPase activity in the presence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). After filtering potential DNA intercalators and ‘frequent hitters,’ we identified two chemotypes that reproducibly inhibited RAD54 ATPase in vitro. We evaluated these chemotypes for inhibition of RAD54-dsDNA binding and cancer cell survival. A halogenated carbazole/dihydroacridine scaffold inhibited a panel of SWI2/SNF2-related ATPases but not VCP/p97, an unrelated ATPase. Small molecules that interfere with key steps in HR— such as inhibitors of RAD54—may expose DNA repair-dependent vulnerabilities in cancer cells.

Proteins of B-cell lymphoma (Bcl-2) family are key regulators of apoptosis and are involved in the pathogenesis of various cancers. Disrupting the interactions between the antiapoptotic and proapoptotic Bcl-2 members is an attractive strategy to reactivate the apoptosis of cancer cells. Structure-based drug design (SBDD) has been successfully applied to the discovery of small molecule inhibitors targeting Bcl-2 proteins in past decades. Up to now, many Bcl-2 inhibitors with different paralogue selectivity profiles have been developed and some were used in clinical trials. This review focused on the recent applications of SBDD strategies in the development of small molecule inhibitors targeting Bcl-2 family proteins.
