Gain-of-function mutations in the KCNT1 gene, which encodes the sodium-activated potassium channel known as SLACK, are associated with the rare but devastating developmental and epileptic encephalopathy known as epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS). The design of small molecule inhibitors of SLACK channels represents a potential therapeutic approach to the treatment of EIMFS, other childhood epilepsies, and developmental disorders. Herein, we describe a hit optimization effort centered on a xanthine SLACK inhibitor (8) discovered via a high-throughput screen. Across three distinct regions of the chemotype, we synthesized 58 new analogs and tested each one in a whole-cell automated patch-clamp assay to develop structure–activity relationships for inhibition of SLACK channels. We further evaluated selected analogs for their selectivity versus a variety of other ion channels and for their activity versus clinically relevant SLACK mutants. Selectivity within the series was quite good, including versus hERG. Analog 80 (VU0948578) was a potent inhibitor of WT, A934T, and G288S SLACK, with IC50 values between 0.59 and 0.71 µM across these variants. VU0948578 represents a useful in vitro tool compound from a chemotype that is distinct from previously reported small molecule inhibitors of SLACK channels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
