Abstract

LIMKs are serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases responsible for controlling cytoskeletal dynamics as key regulators of actin stability, ensuring synaptic health through normal synaptic bouton structure and function. However, LIMK1 overactivation results in abnormal dendritic synaptic development that characterizes the pathogenesis of Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). As a result, the development of LIMK inhibitors represents an emerging disease-modifying therapeutic approach for FXS. We report the discovery of MDI-114215 (), a novel, potent allosteric dual-LIMK1/2 inhibitor that demonstrates exquisite kinome selectivity. reduces phospho-cofilin in mouse brain slices and rescues impaired hippocampal long-term potentiation in brain slices from FXS mice. We also show that LIMK inhibitors are effective in reducing phospho-cofilin levels in iPSC neurons derived from FXS patients, demonstrating to be a potential therapeutic candidate for FXS that could have broad application to neurological disorders or cancers caused by LIMK1/2 overactivation and actin instability.

摘要

LIMK是丝氨酸/苏氨酸和酪氨酸激酶,作为肌动蛋白稳定性的关键调节因子,负责控制细胞骨架动力学,通过正常的突触小体结构和功能确保突触健康。然而,LIMK1过度激活会导致异常的树突突触发育,这是脆性X综合征(FXS)发病机制的特征。因此,LIMK抑制剂的开发代表了一种新兴的针对FXS的疾病修饰治疗方法。我们报告了MDI-114215()的发现,这是一种新型、强效的变构双LIMK1/2抑制剂,具有出色的激酶组选择性。它可降低小鼠脑片中的磷酸化丝切蛋白,并挽救FXS小鼠脑片中受损的海马长时程增强。我们还表明,LIMK抑制剂可有效降低FXS患者来源的诱导多能干细胞(iPSC)神经元中的磷酸化丝切蛋白水平,证明其是FXS的潜在治疗候选药物,可能广泛应用于由LIMK1/2过度激活和肌动蛋白不稳定性引起的神经疾病或癌症。
