ac Structures and VCPIP1 biochemical inhibitory activity of WH-9943-103C analogs. Data for hit WH-9943-103C are duplicated from earlier figures for ease of comparison. d DUB-ABPP data for the WH-103C focused library. Compounds with VCPIP1 biochemical IC50 values below 250 nM (V02, V08, V12) were screened in ABPP at 10 μM, less potent compounds were screened at 50 μM. e, f SAR analysis suggested a combination of functionalities on V12 and V02 (yellow highlights) to yield CAS-12290-201. Binding kinetics and DUB-ABPP (10 and 1 µM) demonstrated that CAS-12290-201 to be a potent and selective inhibitor of the understudied DUB VCPIP1, error bars show the 95% confidence interval for parameters as fitted by GraphPad Prism 9.0.1.
