Abstract:
Aberrant activation of the Wnt pathway is believed to drive the development and growth of some cancers. The central role of CK1gamma in Wnt signal transduction makes it an attractive target for the treatment of Wnt-pathway dependent cancers. We describe a structure-based approach that led to the discovery of a series of pyridyl pyrrolopyridinones as potent and selective CK1gamma inhibitors. These compounds exhibited good enzyme and cell potency, as well as selectivity against other CK1 isoforms. A single oral dose of compound 13 resulted in significant inhibition of LRP6 phosphorylation in a mouse tumor PD model.
