Targeted covalent inhibitors (TCIs) are designed to bind poorly conserved amino acids by means of reactive groups, the so-called warheads. Currently, targeting noncatalytic cysteine residues with acrylamides and other α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is predominant strategy in TCI development. The recent ascent drugs has stimulated considerable efforts characterize alternative warheads for covalent-reversible irreversible engagement as well acids. This Perspective article provides an overview warheads-beyond amides-recently used design targeted ligands. Promising groups that have not yet demonstrated their utility development also highlighted. Special emphasis placed on discussion reactivity case studies illustrating applications medicinal chemistry chemical biology.

Covalent probes can display unmatched potency, selectivity, and duration of action; however, their discovery is challenging. In principle, fragments that irreversibly bind target overcome the low affinity limits reversible fragment screening, but such electrophilic were considered nonselective rarely screened. We hypothesized mild electrophiles might selectivity challenge constructed a library 993 mildly fragments. characterized this by new high-throughput thiol-reactivity assay screened them against 10 cysteine-containing proteins. Highly reactive promiscuous rare could be easily eliminated. contrast, we found hits for most targets. Combining our approach with crystallography allowed rapid progression to potent selective two enzymes, deubiquitinase OTUB2 pyrophosphatase NUDT7. No inhibitors previously known either. This study highlights potential electrophile-fragment screening as practical efficient tool covalent-ligand discovery.

Over the past decade, covalent kinase inhibitors (CKI) have seen a resurgence in drug discovery. Covalency affords unique set of advantages as well challenges relative to their non-covalent counterpart. After reversible protein target recognition and binding, irreversibly modify proximal nucleophilic residue on via reaction with an electrophile. To date, acrylamide group remains predominantly employed electrophile CKI development, its incorporation majority clinical candidates FDA approved therapies. Nonetheless, recent years considerable efforts ensued characterize alternative electrophiles that exhibit irreversible or reversibly binding mechanisms towards cysteine thiols other amino acids. This review article provides comprehensive overview CKIs reported literature over decade period, 2007-2018. Emphasis is placed rationale behind warhead choice, optimization approach, inhibitor design. Current are also highlighted, addition detailed analysis common trends themes observed within listed data set.

Covalent inhibitors and other types of covalent modalities have seen a revival in the past two decades, with variety new targeted drugs having been approved recent years. A key feature such molecules is an intrinsically reactive group, typically weak electrophile, which enables irreversible or reversible formation bond specific amino acid target protein. This often called "warhead", critical determinant ligand's activity, selectivity, general biological properties. In 2019, we summarized emerging re-emerging warhead chemistries to cysteine acids (Gehringer, M.; Laufer, S. A. J. Med. Chem. 62, 5673−5724; DOI: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.8b01153). Since then, field has rapidly evolved. Here discuss progress on warheads made since our last Perspective their application medicinal chemistry chemical biology.
