Title: Discovery of (E)-N-(4-((4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)methyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3-((3-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)vinyl)-1H-indazol-6-yl)thio)propanamide (CHMFL-ABL-121) as a highly potent ABL kinase inhibitor capable of overcoming a variety of ABL mutants including T315I for chronic myeloid leukemia.

Abstract: There is still a great demand in the clinic for the drugs which can overcome a variety of imatinib resistant ABL mutants. Starting from a type I inhibitor axitinib, which has been reported to overcome ABL-T315I mutant induced resistance, through a structure guided drug design approach and binding mode switch strategy, we have discovered a novel type II ABL inhibitor 24 (CHMFL-ABL-121), which significantly improved the inhibitory activity against ABL wt and a broad spectrum of mutants including the most prevalent imatinib-resistant gatekeeper mutant T315I. 24 exhibited IC50 values of 2 nM and 0.2 nM against purified inactive ABL wt and T315I kinase protein respectively and inhibited the proliferation of the established CML cell lines with GI50 at single digit nM. In cellular context, 24 strongly affected BCR-ABL mediated signaling pathways and induced apoptosis as well as arrested cell cycle at G0/G1 phase. In the in vivo study, 50 mg/kg/day dosage of 24 displayed TGI of 52% in the TEL-ABLT315I-BaF3 cell inoculated allograft mouse model without obvious toxicity.
