55. TMZ – Hydrolysis gives active form Temozolomide is not directly active but undergoes rapid nonenzymatic conversion at physiologic pH to the reactive compound 5-(3-methyltriazen-1-yl)-imidazole-4-carboxamide (MTIC). The cytotoxicity of MTIC is thought to be primarily due to alkylation of DNA. Alkylation (methylation) occurs mainly at the O 6 and N 7 positions of guanine.

A small-molecule prodrug of CEP-8983, a novel 4-methoxy-carbazole inhibitor of the nuclear enzymes poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) 1 and 2, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration and conversion from CEP-9722, CEP-8983 selectively binds to PARP 1 and 2, preventing repair of damaged DNA via base excision repair (BER). This agent enhances the accumulation of DNA strand breaks and promotes genomic instability and apoptosis. CEP-8983 may potentiate the cytotoxicity of DNA-damaging agents and reverse tumor cell chemo- and radioresistance. PARP catalyzes post-translational ADP-ribosylation of nuclear proteins that signal and recruit other proteins to repair damaged DNA and can be activated by single strand breaks in DNA.
Inhibitors of PARP-1 have potential therapeutic utility in oncology through potentiation of the anti-tumor activity of radiation or chemotherapeutic DNA damaging agents. Until more recently, the potentiation observed in-vitro and in-vivo could not be unequivocally linked to inhibition of PARP due to limitations with respect to potency, selectivity, toxicity, and deliverability of compounds.
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) is a nuclear enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of poly-ADP-ribose chains from NAD+ as part of the DNA repair process.

A model of PARP overactivation-mediated cytotoxicity. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as nitric oxide (NO z ), superoxide anion (O2--), peroxynitrite (ONOO2), or hydroxyl radical (OH z ) are generated during inflammation or ischemia–reperfusion. These ROS damage cellular molecules like proteins, lipids, and DNA. DNA damage activates PARP , synthesizing poly(ADP-ribose) polymer from its substrate b-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD1). Limited amounts of DNA damage can be repaired by cellular DNA repair enzymes, and PARP, in this case, acts as a sensor for DNA damage, modulating the repair process. In apoptotic cell death, activated caspases cleave PARP protein to inhibit a futile DNA repair process and preserve cellular ATP, which is essential for the apoptotic process. Extensive DNA damage can lead to overactivation of PARP . With excessive activation of PARP, NAD1 is depleted, and in efforts to resynthesize NAD1, ATP is also depleted. Hence, necrotic cell death involves energy loss. Depletion of ATP can transform an ongoing apoptotic process into necrosis with intracellular ATP levels regulating the mode of cell death.

Screening of Cephalon’s internal library identified pyrrolocarbazole CEP-3498 as a potent inhibitor of PARP-1 with an IC50 value of 35 nM, although with poor cellular permeability and solubility. The chemistry objective was to improve the enzyme and cell potency, and the physical-chemical properties to allow either oral or i.v. delivery in the clinic.
Key H-bond interactions between imide C=O and N-H groups with backbone N-H and C=O of Gly863 ; H-bond between indole-NH and C=O of Glu988 side-chain; aromatic pi-stacking of aryl rings of Tyr896 and Tyr907 with B and D rings of the carbazole, resp.; cyclopentyl ring fits closely into fold formed by Lys861 side-chain, Ala898, Trp861, and Asn987; open pocket around 3- and 4-positions of the inhibitor provided opportunity for SAR development.

But with limited opportunity elsewhere on the core template, the aryl group was retained for further SAR development.
