ABSTRACT: Although Hsp90 inhibitors can inhibit multiple tumorigenic pathways in cancer cells, their anticancer activity has been disappointingly modest. However, by forcing Hsp90 inhibitors into the mitochondria with mitochondrial delivery vehicles, they were converted into potent drugs targeting the mitochondrial Hsp90 paralog TRAP1. Here, to improve mitochondrial drug accumulation without using the mitochondrial delivery vehicle, we increased freely available drug concentrations in the cytoplasm by reducing the binding of the drugs to the abundant cytoplasmic Hsp90. After analyzing X-ray cocrystal structures, the purine ring of the Hsp90 inhibitor 2 (BIIB021) was modified to pyrazolopyrimidine scaffolds. One pyrazolopyrimidine, 12b (DN401), bound better to TRAP1 than to Hsp90, inactivated the mitochondrial TRAP1 in vivo, and it exhibited potent anticancer activity. Therefore, the rationale and feasible guidelines for developing 12b can potentially be exploited to design a potent TRAP1 inhibitor.

INTRODUCTION TRAP1 is a mitochondrial Hsp90 paralog that controls cytoprotection, metabolic reprogramming, and drug resistance in cancer cells.1−3 TRAP1 possesses a structure similar to that of the cytosolic Hsp90, with increased structural similarity to the ATP-binding pockets at the N-terminal domains (NTDs).4,5 Various Hsp90 inhibitors targeting Hsp90 NTDs have been developed as potential anticancer drugs (Figure 1),6−14 and many of them have exhibited inhibitory activity against TRAP1 in vitro.15,16 However, we have previously reported that current Hsp90 inhibitors do not inactivate the mitochondrial TRAP1 because of an insufficient mitochondrial drug accumulation,4,17 which is closely related to their modest anticancer activity in vivo.16,18 Because the forced mitochondrial delivery of Hsp90 inhibitors increases their anticancer activity via a novel mode of action, improving mitochondrial drug accumulation is urgently required for transforming moderate drugs into potent ones.4,17−20 We hypothesized that an insufficient mitochondrial accumulation of Hsp90 inhibitors reflects a strong binding to abundant (∼2% of total cellular proteins) cytoplasmic Hsp90 proteins21−23 before entry into the mitochondria. Indeed, the concentration of the freely available portion of the inhibitor may possibly be too low to reach the mitochondria. Therefore, we decided to develop inhibitors with strong TRAP1-binding but weak Hsp90-binding, activities based on the structural analyses of Hsp90 inhibitors bound to TRAP1 and Hsp90.4,6 © 2017 American Chemical Society

On comparing the structures of TRAP1 and Hsp90 complexed with inhibitors, we identified that inhibitor−target protein interactions have very similar configurations. The pyrimidine of the purine ring and bromopiperonyl in 1 (PU-H71)6 or the pyridinyl of 2 (BIIB021)7 were well-occupied by the active sites of both the chaperones, and the imidazole ring of purine was relatively exposed to the solvent (Supporting Information, Figure S1).4 However, a part of the active site lid (Leu172− Phe201) structure was disordered (Figure 2A) and its flanking conserved residues, Asn171 and Gly202, had different configurations in TRAP1 compared with those in Hsp90 (Figure 2B,C). Thus, to generate TRAP1-selective interactions, we modified the imidazole ring of the purine scaffold, which is relatively close to the flanking regions of the disordered TRAP1 active site lid in the crystal structures.

CHEMISTRY Pyrazolopyrimidin derivatives 12a and 12b were prepared from various benzyl halides in two steps: a benzylhydrazine formation and a cyclization for pyrazole ring formation. The benzylhydrazine formation was performed via addition of an excess amount of hydrated hydrazine into benzyl bromide solution in MeOH. Pyrazole ring formation was performed via mixing an equivalent amount of 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimiReceived: July 3, 2017 Published: August 17, 2017 7569

Cyclization of 15 under POCl3 condition and reflux with extra POCl3 afforded chlorinated product 16. Compound 20 was prepared from glycine in three steps (Scheme 3). Reductive amination of glycine with benzo[d][1,3]dioxole-5-carbaldehyde gave compound 18. Cyclization of 18 with 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine-5-carbaldehyde, followed by hydrolysis under aqueous LiOH conditions, afforded compound 20 in good yield.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Among various purine mimic derivatives, guanine mimics with the piperonyl side chain derived from 2, such as 12a, 16, and 20, were discovered to have favorable inhibitory activity toward TRAP1 (Figure 3A). Additional syntheses of pyrazolopyrimidines provided us with 21 (Figure 3B), which exhibited stronger inhibitory activities against TRAP1 (IC50 = 138 nM) but comparable inhibitory activities against Hsp90 (IC50 = 97 nM) compared with those exhibited by 2 (Figure 3C). Subsequently, the pyridinyl of 21 was replaced with bromopiperonyl to yield 12b, which further improved the inhibitory activities against TRAP1 but reduced those against Hsp90 (Figure 3C). Compound 12b exhibited highly potent inhibition of TRAP1 (IC50 = 79 nM) but weak inhibition of Hsp90 (IC50 = 698 nM) compared with that exhibited by the purine scaffold Hsp90 inhibitors 1 and 2 (Table 1). To our knowledge, 12b is the most selective TRAP1 inhibitor (over Hsp90) identified until date.

purine derivatives 1 and 2 (Supporting Information, Figure S2 and S3).4,6 Furthermore, 12b exhibited TRAP1 inhibition that was superior to 1, 2, and 21, reflecting the importance of additional water-mediated hydrogen bonds between the pyrazole N-2 and the Asn171 amide (Figure 4A−C; Supporting Information, Figure S2). Thus, the TRAP1-specific binding of 12b was enhanced by establishing additional interactions with Asn171 and Phe201, located on the flanked residues of the disordered TRAP1 structure.

Compound 12b triggered the signature responses indicative of TRAP1 inactivation including the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential,18,28 overproduction of mitochondrial ROS,29−31 elevation of CHOP expression,32,33 and subsequent discharge of cytochrome c in HeLa cells within 6 h (Figure 5A− D).18,28 In contrast, these responses were not observed in the cancer cell (Figure 5A−D) after treatment with the Hsp90 inhibitor 2,11 which most potently inhibited purified recombinant TRAP1 in vitro (Figure 5E). 12b degraded Hsp90 client 7572

proteins less effectively compared with Hsp90 inhibitors and did not induce expression of the biomarker (Hsp70) for Hsp90 inhibition34 during both short-term (6 h) and long-term (36 h) drug treatment (Figures 5C and 6), likely due to reduced binding affinity toward Hsp90 (Figure 3C). Hsp70 suppresses cancer cell death, which is closely related to the moderate anticancer activity of and drug-resistance development against the Hsp90 inhibitors.35,36 Compound 12b completely avoided Hsp70 induction, the adverse effect of Hsp90 inhibitors. Compound 12b exhibited cytotoxic activity that was superior to Hsp90 inhibitors in several human cancer cells (Figure 7A,B). The cytotoxicity is largely dependent on TRAP1

inhibition of the drug, considering significant reduction in cancer cell viability at low drug concentrations (∼5 μM) (Figure 7A) without signs of cytoplasmic Hsp90 inhibition (Figure 6B). However, normal human corneal cells and mouse primary hepatocytes were only marginally affected by 12b treatment, whereas Hsp90 inhibitors caused considerably more cytotoxicity in these normal cells (Figure 7C). Taken together, these data suggested that 12b has superior cancer-specific cytotoxicity but reduced cytotoxic effects in normal cells compared with those of other Hsp90 inhibitors. Thus, to examine anticancer activities in vivo, 30 mg/kg 12b was intraperitoneally administered once daily to PC3 xenograft 7573

All reactions were performed under an atmosphere of dry argon. A Biotage Initiator microwave system was used for microwave-assisted reaction. Thin-layer chromatography was carried out on Merck precoated silica gel 60 F254 plates. A Teledyne ISCO flash purification system with various prepacked silica gel cartridges was used for flash column chromatography. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in the indicated solvent on a Bruker AVANCE III HD (400 and 100 MHz for 1H and 13C, respectively) spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported as δ values in parts per million downfield from TMS (δ 0.0) as the internal standard in DMSO-d6 or CDCl3. MS was performed on a system consisting of an electrospray ionization (ESI) source in a Shimadzu LCMS-2020 liquid chromatography−mass spectrometer (column: Shim-pack GIS, 100 × 3.0 mm, 3 μm ODS). The purity of the compounds was evaluated on a Shimadzu reverse-phase analytical HPLC system (column: Ace C18, 150 × 4.6 mm, 3 μm). Purities of all compounds that were subjected to biological assay were >95%. Preparation of Hsp90 Inhibitors. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were purchased from Tocris, Toronto Research Chemicals, and SigmaAldrich. Piperonylhydrazine 11a and 11b. Hydrazine monohydrate (6.33 mL, 130 mmol) was added to a solution of 3-piperonylcloride (1a-b: 130 mmol) in MeOH (40 mL) at 0 °C, followed by stirring for 30 min at the same temperature. After stirring for 2.5 h at 60 °C, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and quenched by addition of water (24 mL). The solvent was distilled to approximately 55 mL under reduced pressure. To the residue, 2 N NaOH (aq. 160 mL) was added; this was then extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and then concentrated under

nude mice. Compound 12b treatment reduced tumor growth (Figure 7D) and increased apoptotic cell death in tumor tissues (Figure 8A) and did not cause weight loss or histologic abnormalities (Figures 7E and 8B). Moreover, in agreement with in vitro results, tumors isolated from 12b-treated animals showed reduced expression of Hsp90 client proteins and induction of CHOP expression without elevated Hsp70 expression (Figure 8C).

CONCLUSIONS In summary, for developing a TRAP1 inhibitor not requiring a mitochondrial delivery vehicle that occasionally causes nonspecific toxicity and poor ADME properties, we hypothesized that the binding affinity to the abundant cytoplasmic Hsp90 should be minimized to increase freely available drug concentrations around the mitochondria. Collectively, our findings indicated that the development of the pyrazolopyrimidine 12b for optimized TRAP1 and Hsp90 binding changed the subcellular drug distribution and subsequently generated a potent TRAP1 inhibitor with a novel mode of action.

Cells and Culture Conditions. Human cells from cervix (HeLa), liver (SK-HEP-1), brain (T98G), lung (H460), and prostate (PC3) cancers were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and were maintained as recommended by the supplier. Cells were cultured in DMEM or RPMI medium (GIBCO) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; GIBCO) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (GIBCO) at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. Human corneal cells were purchased from ATCC and were cultured in ATCC corneal medium (ATCC) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Primary hepatocytes were isolated from 8-week-old BALB/c mice as previously described4 and were cultured in M199/EBSS medium (Hyclone) containing 10% FBS at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. Analyses of Cell Viability and Apoptosis Induction. Cell viability was determined using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thyzoyl-2-yl)-2,5diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays and was quantified by measuring absorbance of the tetrazolium dye at 595 nm using an Infinity M200 microplate reader (TECAN). Absorbance values were normalized to the DMSO control and data were expressed as percent viability. To measure apoptosis induction, DNA contents (propidium iodide) and externalized phosphatidylserine (Annexin V) using apoptosis kit (Molecular Probe). Labeled cells were quantified using the FACS Calibur system (BD Biosciences). Data were processed using FlowJo software (TreeStar). Cytochrome c release was determined by Western blotting after mitochondrial fractionation as described previously.18 Apoptosis in the tumor sections was assessed using in situ apoptosis detection kit (Millipore) according to the manufacturer’s protocols and analyzed using an FV1000 laser confocal scanning microscope (Olympus). Recombinant Protein Preparation and Fluorescence Polarization Assays. Recombinant TRAP1 and Hsp90α were prepared (Supporting Information, Figure S4) as described previously.4 For fluorescence polarization experiments, the fluorescence probe 1FITC3 was synthesized as described previously,21 and 10 nM 1-FITC3 and 100 nM protein were incubated for 24 h at 4 °C with various concentrations of inhibitors in FP buffer containing 135 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 4.3 mM Na2HPO4, 1.4 mM KH2PO4, 1 mM DTT, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/mL BSA, and 0.05% NP40 (pH 7.3). Fluorescence polarization was finally measured using a SYNERGY NEO microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc.). ATPase Activity Assay. ATPase activity was measured with the PiColorLock Gold Phosphate Detection Kit (Innova Biosciences) as described previously.4 Briefly, 200 nM TRAP1 was preincubated with various concentrations of inhibitors in assay buffer (100 mM Tris, 20 mM KCl, and 6 mM MgCl2, pH 7.0) for 30 min at 37 °C. Then, the mixture was incubated with 0.2 mM ATP for 3 h and the 20 μL mixture of Pi Color Lock Gold reagent and the accelerator (100:1) was added to the 80 μL ATP hydrolysate sample. After 5 min incubation at 25 °C, color development was stopped by the addition of 10 μL stop solution, and absorbance was measured at 620 nm with an Infinity M200 microplate reader (Tecan). Analysis of Mitochondrial Membrane Potential and ROS Production. To examine mitochondrial membrane potential or superoxide production, HeLa cells were incubated with 5 μg/mL JC-1 (Molecular Probes) or 200 nM Mito-SOX Red (Invitrogen) for 20 min at 37 °C. Subsequently, the cells were washed with PBS, trypsinized, resuspended in 500 μL of PBS, and analyzed using the FACS Calibur system (BD Bioscience). Crystallization and Structure Determination. Protein production for human TRAP1 lacking the C terminal domain (residues 60− 561, hTRAP1-NM) was performed as described previously.4,41 To crystallize hTRAP1-NM and inhibitor complexes, 50 μL of 20 mg/mL purified hTRAP1 NM domain was mixed with 3.7 μL of 10 mM inhibitors in DMSO for 1 h on ice and adjusted to a final volume of 90 μL in buffer containing 25 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, and 5 mM DTT to reduce the DMSO concentration to 4%. Complexes were then crystallized using the hanging drop diffusion method at room temperature by mixing 1 μL of protein solution with 1 μL of reservoir buffer. Crystals of the TRAP1−21 complex grew in reservoir buffers comprising 100 mM sodium cacodylate (pH 6.76), 14%−16% 8K

polyethylene glycol (PEG), and 100 mM calcium acetate. The bestdiffracted crystals of the TRAP1−21 complex were obtained in reservoir buffer containing 14%−16% 20K PEG instead of 8K PEG. Crystals were then cryoprotected in a crystallization solution supplemented with 30% glycerol and were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. X-ray diffraction data were collected in the 5C beamline of the Pohang Accelerator laboratory (PAL), and data were processed using HKL2000 software.42 Both crystals had almost the same space group (P41212) and unit cell (a = b = 69.5 Å, c = 253.0 Å) as previously reported for the TRAP1−1 complex crystal.4 Electron densities of inhibitors were calculated using difference Fourier methods with the unliganded TRAP1 structure from TRAP1−1 (PDB 4Z1F),4 and were subsequently built into residual electron densities using Coot.43 Final models for TRAP1−12b (PDB 5Y3N) and TRAP1−21 (PDB 5Y3O) were refined to 2.4 and 2.7 Å resolution, respectively, using Phenix.44 Crystallography statistics are summarized in Supporting Information Table S1. All structural figures were generated using PyMOL (http://www.pymol.com). Tumor Xenograft Experiments. All experiments involving animals were approved by UNIST (IACUC-12-003-A). Cancer cells (1 × 107 PC3) were suspended in 200 μL of PBS and were injected subcutaneously into both flanks of 6-week-old BALB/c nu/nu male mice (Charles River Laboratories). Tumors are then allowed to grow to an average volume of approximately 100 mm3 and animals were randomly grouped (two tumors/mouse, five mice/group). Subsequently, DMSO (vehicle) and 12b dissolved in DMSO were each mixed with propylene glycol at a 1:1 ratio (final propylene glycol concentration, 50%) and was administered intraperitoneally (30 mg/ kg) every day. Tumors were measured using calipers, and tumor volumes were calculated using the following formula: V = 1/2 × (width)2 × length. At the end of experiment, animals were euthanized, and organs including brain, heart, kidney, liver, lung, spleen, stomach, and tumor were collected for histology and Western blotting. Harvested organ specimens were also fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in paraffin for histological analyses. Briefly, sections (5 μm) were placed on high-adhesive slides, were stained with H&E, and were scanned using the Dotslide system (Olympus) with 20× magnification. For Western blot analyses, tissue samples were homogenized in RIPA buffer containing 50 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, and 0.25% N-deoxycholate, and protease inhibitor and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Calbiochem), and soluble factions were used for analysis as described previously.32 The band intensity was quantified using ImageJ software (National Institute of Health, USA). Statistical Analyses. MTT experiments were duplicated and repeated independently at least three times. Statistical analyses were performed using the software program Prism 7.0 (GraphPad). Differences were identified using unpaired t-tests and were considered significant when p < 0.05.
