Various Protein Kinase Inhibitors as Anticancer Agents
Edit
This entry is adapted from the peer-reviewed paper 10.3390/molecules27072259

Protein kinases (PTKs) are enzymes that regulate the biological activity of proteins by phosphorylation of certain amino acid residues. This reaction causes a conformational change from an inactive to an active form of the protein, which is one of the most important regulatory mechanisms of the cell cycle and transduction of external signals. Dysregulation of protein kinases activity is implicated in the processes of carcinogenesis and the progression of various solid cancers. Therefore, protein kinases are prime targets for the development of selective anticancer drugs.

1. Tyrosine Kinase (TK) Inhibitors

Tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are enzymes that selectively phosphorylate the hydroxyl groups of a tyrosine residue in different proteins with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as the source of phosphate. They have a share in the regulation of the most fundamental cellular processes, such as growth, differentiation, proliferation, survival, migration and metabolism of cells or programed cell death in response to extracellular and intracellular stimuli [1]. There are two types of tyrosine kinases, namely receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases (NRTKs) [2]. A lot of RTKs and NRTKs are associated with cancers, thus a significant number of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are currently in clinical development. Since 2011, the FDA approved eleven new anticancer drugs that are inhibitors of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR or HER1), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), human epidermal growth factor receptor 4 (HER4), fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) or receptor tyrosine kinase rearranged during transfection (RET) (Table 1). These drugs show anticancer activity by blocking multiple molecular signal transduction pathways (Figure 1).

The oncogenic driver mutations identified in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) include ALK gene rearrangements, ROS1 gene rearrangements, EGFR mutations, MET mutations and RET rearrangements [10]. In NSCLC harboring ALK gene rearrangements are observed ALK fusion proteins with potent transforming activity as oncogenic drivers of tumor growth [11]. Ceritinib is the second-generation AKL inhibitor that blocks autophosphorylation of ALK and ALK-mediated phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which is a downstream signaling protein [12][13]. Hence, this drug inhibits the cell cycle in the G1 phase and the proliferation of ALK-dependent cancer cells. Among the existing therapies targeting EGFR-mutated NSCLC, there have been two FDA-approved medicaments during the last eleven years, i.e., osimertinib and mobocertinib. Osimertinib is a third-generation, irreversible TK inhibitor of both EGFR TKI-sensitizing mutations and a secondary EGFR mutation in exon 20, namely T790M [14]. Mobocertinib, on the other hand, is a first-in-class irreversible EGFR TK inhibitor, which was specifically developed to selectively inhibit oncogenic variants containing EGFR exon 20 insertion (EGFRex20ins) mutations. Both drugs form a covalent bond with cysteine 797 in EGFR with high-affinity binding resulting in sustained EGFR activity inhibition [15][16]. The difference in the structure of these drugs is the presence of an isopropyl ester group on the pyrimidine ring of mobocertinib, leading to increased selectivity for the EGFRex20ins mutant compared with osimertinib [16]. In NSCLC, MET and its mutant variants produced by gene mutation, amplification and overexpression are attractive targets for a blockade. For example, MET and variant with exon 14 skipping mutation are targets for capmatinib and tepotinib activity. The drugs act by inhibition of MET phosphorylation and the activation of key downstream effectors in MET-dependent cancer cell lines [17][18]. The cancers harboring RET alterations, particularly NSCLC, can be treated with pralsetinib. It selectively inhibits RET autophosphorylation and proliferation of RET-mutant cancer cells [9].
Overexpression of HER2 occurs approximately in 15 to 20% of breast cancers. Neratinib and tucatinib are inhibitors of the human epidermal growth factor receptors (HERs) that are used for the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2 + BC). Neratinib irreversibly inhibits EGFR, HER2 and HER4 kinases, while tucatinib reversibly and highly selectively blocks HER2. The drugs have shown to be effective in monotherapy or in combination chemotherapy with capecitabine [19][20]. Patients with HER2 + BC who have disease progression after prior therapy with multiple HER2-targeted drugs may benefit from these TKIs used with or without trastuzumab [21][22]. The mechanism of action of both drugs includes binding to the ATP pocket of the HER2, which results in decreased receptor autophosphorylation and inhibition of downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol triphosphate kinase (PI3K) signaling. This leads to cell cycle arrest at the G1-S phase, thereby reducing cell proliferation [23][24].
FGFR2 fusion or rearrangements are present in 10–16% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. Treatment options, which improve clinical outcomes of patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) harboring FGFR2 gene fusions, have been extended to the first two targeted therapies, i.e., pemigatinib and infigratinib [25][26]. The FDA approval of these TKIs includes the indication for adults with previously treated, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic CCA. Their mechanism of action is a selective, ATP-competitive inhibition of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs). Both drugs potently inhibit FGFR1, FGFR2 and FGFR3 kinases and also demonstrate weaker activity against FGFR4 [27][28].
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer. From a pathologist’s point of view, RCC tends to be a highly vascular tumor. The prominent vascularization is due to the increased production of proangiogenic growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) [29]. Tivozanib is a quinoline-urea derivative that inhibits VEGFRs in an ATP-competitive manner. In particular, the drug shows inhibitory activity against VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 at picomolar concentrations. The analysis of the mechanism of action indicates that tivozanib produced a significant inhibition of the ligand-induced phosphorylation of VEGFRs causing direct anticancer activity as well as suppression of angiogenesis and vascular permeability [30]. In clinical trials, this agent used as third-line or fourth-line therapy in patients with RCC improved progression-free survival and was better tolerated than sorafenib [31]. The promising results of tivozanib led to its approval by the FDA for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced RCC following two or more prior systemic therapies [32].

2. Cyclin-Dependent Kinase (CDK) Inhibitors

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of serine-threonine kinases. They regulate the cell cycle and other important cellular functions, including gene transcription, metabolism and neuronal function. The human genome codifies 20 CDKs (1–20) and 13 groups of cyclin, which are proteins that control the activities of the CDKs through their oscillating level during the cell cycle [52]. The CDKs have been grouped into cell cycle-related subfamilies (CDK1, 4 and 5) and transcriptional subfamilies (CDK7, 8, 9, 11 and 20). Dysregulating the CDKs and cyclins level leads to abnormal cell proliferation and tumor growth. Owing to the role of CDKs in cancer cells, their inhibition is an important target for novel anticancer drugs. The suppression of CDK4 and CDK6 activity is now being investigated to treat various solid tumors, including lung, prostate and ovarian cancers. The CDK4/6 inhibitors, i.e., palbociclib, ribociclib and abemaciclib, demonstrated promising clinical activity in the treatment of advanced breast cancer, thereby being recently FDA approved (Table 2) [53][54]. The approval of abemaciclib (as VERZENIO) includes using it for monotherapy or in combination with fulvestrant, which is an estrogen receptor antagonist. Palbociclib (as IBRANCE) was registered for combination therapy with fulvestrant or an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole). Ribociclib (as KISQALI) was approved only in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) for initial endocrine-based therapy. All of these drugs are selective inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and 6 (CDK6). They inhibit Rb protein phosphorylation in the early G1 phase, thereby blocking cell-cycle transition from G1 to S phase and reducing cancer cell growth (Figure 2) [55][56][57][58]. In addition, abemaciclib is able to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (BBB), thereby being promising to achieve regression of primary and metastatic tumors involving the central nervous system (CNS). The ongoing clinical trials allow evaluating abemaciclib for therapy in patients with brain metastases and leptomeningeal metastases (LM) secondary to HR-positive breast cancer [59][60].

3. Multi-Kinase Inhibitors

In solid cancers, the frequently aberrant activity of various components of signaling pathways occurs by the hyperactivation of several different kinases (Figure 3). Multi-kinase inhibitor is one agent that targets a set of structurally related kinases leading to simultaneous blocking of their activity [67]. The use of one multi-kinase inhibitor is preferred to two single agents, since drug–drug interactions can trigger changing metabolism and activities against particular kinases. Multi kinase drugs become the second choice when their pharmacokinetic properties are worse. Besides, multi-kinase inhibitors are less specific and can consequently result in more side effects. The disadvantage during treatment with multi-kinase inhibitors is acquired resistance [68]. The approval characteristics of FDA-registered multi-kinase inhibitors are presented in Table 3.

Patients with NSCLC receiving the first-generation TKIs, e.g., crizotinib, geftinib and erlotinib, experienced issues related to acquired resistance. This resistance can develop by various mechanisms, such as crizotinib-resistant mutations in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) domain. In addition, patients’ treatment with crizotinib often develops CNS metastases, likely due to the poor CNS penetration of crizotinib. However, crizotinib exhibits higher clinical response rates than standard chemotherapy and is recommended both for first-line therapy in NSCLC, as well as next-line therapy in patients who have not been treated with crizotinib previously. The next-generation multi-kinase inhibitors are designed to overcome TKI-resistant mutations. Alectinib, brigatinib and entrectinib, which are the second-generation ALK inhibitors, possess activity against treatment-resistant ALK mutants, whereas lorlatinib, which belongs to the third-generation drug, is highly selective proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase ROS (ROS1) and ALK inhibitor and has the ability of robust brain penetration [69]. The second-generation EGFR TKIs, namely dacomitinib and afatinib, are characterized by their broader activity against HER family members and irreversibility, covalently binding to their targets of the kinases domain. They have the potential for anticancer activity against receptors with acquired mutations that are resistant to first-generation inhibitors. For example, dacomitinib specifically inhibits EGFR with exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations but also inhibits HER2, HER4 and transphosphorylation of HER3 [70].
Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) mutations are frequently observed in a variety of malignancies, e.g., FGFR2/3 alternations are common in urothelial carcinoma. Erdafitinib, a pan-FGFR inhibitor, is a promising therapy for cancers harboring these mutations. Erdafitinib obtained its first global approval in 2019 for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma with FGFR alterations. The response to treatment was fast and independent of the number of previous therapies, the presence of visceral metastasis or tumor location [71]. The ongoing clinical trials show that erdafitinib demonstrated anticancer activity against other cancers, including cholangiocarcinoma, liver cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, lymphoma and esophageal cancer [72]. The next drug approved by the FDA in 2019 is pexidartinib, which is used in the therapy of symptomatic tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT). The drug is a selective inhibitor of the colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) receptor, mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (c-Kit or CD117) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 harboring an internal tandem duplication mutation (FLT3-ITD). The action mechanism of pexidartinib is to arrest the kinase in the autoinhibited state by interacting with the CSF1R juxtamembrane region, which prevents an ATP and substrate binding [73].
The multi-kinase inhibitors that already obtained approval for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer with a high mortality rate, are second-generation serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf (B-Raf) inhibitors, such as vemurafenib, dabrafenib or encorafenib and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase (MEK) inhibitors, such as trametinib, cobimetinib or binimetinib. They are the most promising treatment strategies for melanoma consisting of selective inhibition of the active conformation of the B-Raf, especially with V600E mutation [74]. Furthermore, dabrafenib and encorafenib are also used in the therapy of cancers with several other mutated forms of B-Raf, e.g., V600K-mutated melanomas and V600K/D-mutated melanoma, respectively. The B-Raf inhibitors are characterized by high response rates, a mild, manageable toxicity profile and improved progression-free survival (PFS) as compared with chemotherapy, but their use is limited by the rapid development of resistance [75]. Encorafenib is distinguished among the other second-generation B-Raf kinase inhibitors by increasing its inhibitory effect with a shorter off-rate [76]. Currently, monotherapy with B-Raf inhibitor for the treatment of BRAF-mutated melanoma is subsequently replaced by combination therapy with B-Raf and MEK inhibitors, which target key enzymes in the MAPK signaling pathway (RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK). The approved combination of active anticancer ingredients, such as vemurafenib plus cobimetinib, dabrafenib plus trametinib or encorafenib plus binimetinib, is a more effective therapy than B-Raf inhibitor monotherapy and is recommended as a first-line therapeutic option in treating melanoma [77]. What is more, encorafenib and binimetinib combination therapy is already ongoing clinical development for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). Selumetinib, the next inhibitor of MEK 1 and 2, is approved in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 and inoperable plexiform neurofibromas. The long-term treatment with selumetinib has meaningful benefits, such as a high level of clinical response and absence of cumulative toxic effects [78].
In 2020, the combination of encorafenib and monoclonal antibody (cetuximab) received its first approval for treating metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) [79]. CRC can also be treated with regorafenib, which is an inhibitor of VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3, tunica interna endothelial cell kinase 2 (TIE2), PDGFRB, c-Kit, FGFR1, RET, RAF proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase (RAF-1) and B-Raf, including wild-type B-Raf and B-Raf V600E [80]. The inhibitor possesses antiangiogenic activity due to the inhibition of TIE2. Moreover, it has anticancer activity against gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), hepatocellular carcinoma and is ongoing clinical development for various malignant tumors. Another two drugs, which were approved in 2020 for GIST, are avapritinib and ripretinib. They inhibit mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (c-Kit) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA). Avapritinib is a therapy only for GIST harboring a PDGFRA exon 18 mutations, including PDGFRA D842V mutations, whereas ripretinib inhibits wild-type c-Kit and PDGFRA mutations, as well as multiple primary and secondary resistance mutations in GIST [81]. Ripretinib is an appropriate treatment for patients who were resistant to other approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as regorafenib or imatinib. The mechanism of its action involves durably binding to both the switch pocket in the intracellular juxtamembrane domain and the activation loop in the kinase domain to prevent from adopting an active state of kinase and locking it in the inactive conformation, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation [82].
A total of six drugs, which have been approved by the FDA since 2011 for thyroid cancer treatment, are antiangiogenic multi-kinase inhibitors, including vandetanib, cabozantinib and lenvatinib or mutation-specific inhibitors, including dabrafenib for BRAF-mutated anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), larotrectinib for NTRK-fusion thyroid cancer and selpercatinib for RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). Vandetanib and cabozantinib are registered for the treatment of advanced MTC. The drugs inhibit EGF, RET and VEGF receptors or the MET, RET and VEGF receptors, respectively. Thus, their action involves blocking the sustaining proliferative signaling mediated by tyrosine kinase receptors, angiogenesis and apoptosis. Cabozantinib, due to downregulation of the MET pathway, may prevent invasiveness and metastatic spread of cancer cells and the development of acquired resistance. Hence, it induces more prolonged clinical responses than those to other TKIs. What is more, it displays stronger antiangiogenic activity than vandetanib [83]. However, the use of cabozantinib and vandetanib is at least partially limited by their adverse events. In contrast, next-generation drug selpercatinib, which is a highly potent and selective RET inhibitor, shows durable efficacy with a more satisfactory safety profile [84]. The first FDA-approved treatment for patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinomas (ATCs), a highly aggressive and undifferentiated cancer, is dabrafenib (B-Raf inhibitor) plus trametinib (MEK inhibitor). This dual inhibition improves overall response frequency and achieves better clinical results compared with B-Raf inhibitor monotherapy [85].
Larotrectinib is a highly selective TRK inhibitor that was developed for the therapy for cancers with a neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusion in adults and children [86]. All patients undergoing the larotrectinib treatment were characterized by advanced solid tumors, including salivary gland tumors, infantile fibrosarcoma, thyroid cancer, NSCLC and other cancers. Larotrectinib also has potential efficacy against CNS tumors because of its ability to cross the blood–brain barrier [87]. The only other registered TRK inhibitor apart from larotrectinib is entrectinib, with activity against ALK, TRK and ROS1. In clinical trials, responses to entrectinib treatment were observed in the following diseases: NSCLC, mammary analog secretory carcinoma (MASC), colorectal cancer, melanoma, glioneuronal tumor and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) [88]. Lenvatinib is also used in therapy for RCC, as well as radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RR-DTC), hepatocellular carcinoma and endometrial cancer. The inhibitor targets VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, FGFR1-3, RET, mast/stem cell growth factor receptor (c-Kit) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRB), thereby resulting in broad spectrum of direct antitumor activity and significant antiangiogenic effects [89]. Another drug for RCC is axitinib, which is approved for monotherapy in the second-line treatment and in combination with pembrolizumab or avelumab for first-line therapy [90][91]. It inhibits both proliferation and angiogenesis through blocking receptors, such as c-Kit and PDGFR on the one hand, and proangiogenic receptors VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 on the other. Axitinib has demonstrated promising activity in other solid tumors as well, including metastatic breast cancer, advanced NSCLC, pancreatic and thyroid cancers [92].
