Abstract
Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) has received significant interest due to its implication as a synthetic lethal target in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers. Here we report the discovery of a novel allosteric covalent WRN inhibitor, compound 22 , via structure-based medicinal design and pharmacokinetic optimization…

Discovery and Preclinical Evaluations of Potent, Selective, and Allosteric Covalent WRN Inhibitors with Improved PK Properties. reports: Werner syndrome helicase (WRN) has received significant interest due to its implication as a synthetic lethal target in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) cancers. Here we report the discovery of a novel allosteric covalent WRN inhibitor, compound 22 , via structure-based medicinal design and pharmacokinetic optimization from VVD-214. Compound 22 occupied a new cavity and formed an additional hydrogen bond with K894, thereby improving its activities.
