Optimization of N-piperidinyl-benzimidazolone derivatives as potent and selective inhibitors of 8-Oxo Guanine DNA Glycosylase 1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
8-oxo Guanine DNA Glycosylase 1 is the initiating enzyme within base excision repair and removes oxidized guanines from damaged DNA. Since unrepaired 8-oxoG could lead to G:C→T:A transversion, base removal is of the utmost importance for cells to ensure genomic integrity. For cells with elevat-ed levels of reactive oxygen species this dependency is further increased. In the past we and others have validated OGG1 as a target for inhibitors to treat cancer and inflammation. Here, we present the optimization campaign that led to the broadly used tool compound TH5487. Based on a high-throughput screen, we performed hit to lead expansion and arrived at potent and selective substituted N-piperidinyl-benzimidazolones. Using X-ray crystallography data, we describe the surprising bind-ing mode of the most potent member of the class, TH8535. Here, the N-Piperidinyl-linker adopts a chair instead of a boat conformation which was found for weaker analogues. We further demonstrate cellular target engagement and efficacy of TH8535 against a number of cancer cell lines.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
