1 SMART Drugs: Engineering Nature s Solution to the Undruggable Target Challenge
2 Warp Drive s Mission To build the premiere company advancing transformative medicines that harness the molecules and mechanisms of Nature 2
3 The Problem of Intractable Targets 80-90% of human proteins cannot be targeted by established modali:es Universe of potential targets Small Molecule-Assisted Receptor TargeCng (SMART) Small Molecules Biologics Limited to targets outside the cell (10%) Limited to targets with hydrophobic pockets (10%) 3
4 Nature s Solution to Undruggable Targets Rapamycin and FKBP cooperate to bind a flat, funcfonal surface of mtor A B Rapamycin C Rap FKBP Cell-penetrant small molecule, creates a composite surface that binds a flat undruggable target surface Follows rules of naturally occurring protein-protein interactions Binding is cooperativeà high affinity and selectivity mtor 4
5 How Does Nature Achieve the Impossible? By Mimicking Typical Protein-Protein Interactions hgh:hghr1 Common Characteristics of Many ProteinProtein Interactions Hotspot residues Non-hotspot residues Flat protein-protein interface Non-hydrophobic residues around the periphery contribute to selectivity Large contact surface area 1,200-2,000 Å2 High surface complementarity Central hydrophobic residues provide most of the binding energy ( hydrophobic hotspot ) Hydrophobicity 1. Adapted from Clackson, T., Wells, J., J Mol Biol 1998; Lo Conte, L., Chothia, C., Janin, J., J Mol Biol
6 Rap FK Binding Follows the Rules of Natural Protein-Protein Interactions Rapamycin provides the missing hydrophobic hotspot to FKBP12; Enables engagement of mtor s hotspot normally reserved for substrate binding mtr FRB Domain Hydrophobic Hotspot Rapamycin Hydrophobicity 6
7 Cooperative Binding Mimics Natural ProteinProtein Interactions Rapamycin, FKBP12 each contributes ~half of the contact surface area w/ mtor Total contact surface area (~1,550 Å2) comparable to natural PPIs mtor mtor residues that interact with FKBP12 (780 Å2) mtor residues that interact with Rap (790 Å2) Note: FKBP12 not shown 7
8 No Target is Too Flat WDB has discovered mulfple Rapamycin family members w/ novel target selecfvity Example: WDB-002 cooperates with FKBP12 to bind with sub-nanomolar affinity to a coiled-coil (an archetypal undruggable structural moff) FKBP12 Kd = 290 pm CEP
9 Nature Can Reprogram Target Selectivity FKBP = 758 Å 2 Rap = 790 Å 2 = FKBP Rapamycin Tor FKBP/Rapamycin/Tor = FKBP FK506 Calcineurin FKBP/FK506/Calcineurin 9
10 How Nature Reprograms Target Selectivity Variable Region: Target Binding Constant Region: FKBP Binding H H H H N H H H H H N H H H H N H H H FK506 (Calcineurin) Rapamycin (mtor) WDB002 (CEP250) Variable Region Constant Region v Like Mabs, members of the Rapamycin/FK506 family of natural products have a variable and a constant region v The variable region confers target specificity; The constant region confers presentation v Unlike Mabs, these drugs are orally bioavailable and can access intracellular targets 10
11 Surface of FKBP12 Adapts Itself to Multiple Targets FKBP12 Uses a Distinct Repertoire of Residues to Engage Each Target 30+ available residues on FKBP12, each with mulfple rotamer states, enable very high combinatorial diversity for target recognifon FKBP contact residues 11 Calcineurin T28 D33 K35 K36 F37 S39 R41 D42 N44 P46 Q54 FKBP12 (unbound) 7 Calcineurin 5 G20 T22 F49 K53 M50 CEP250 mtr P89 G90 I91 R43 K45 K48 H88 3 T86 Y83 G87 mtr CEP250 11
12 FKBP is Adaptable: Even Shared Residues Play Different Roles R43 H88 CEP250 t CEP250 Val K48 Ser Gln mtr mtr K45 Phe Tyr R43 Asp Arg Calcineurin Asn Lys Leu Gln H88 I91 G90 P89 Calcineurin Pro Tyr 12
13 Prolyl Isomerases (e.g., FKBP12) Are Ideally Suited to Generalize the Modality Abundant: Favorable stoichiometry vs. most targets of interest Ubiquitous: Present in most/all tissue types Safe: Minimal effect of inhibiting native function Adaptable: Capable of engaging diverse protein surfaces Selective: Capable of engaging protein surfaces selectively 13
14 Cyclophilins: A Parallel Universe CYPA/Cyclosporine/Calcineurin CYPA interface Cyclosporine interface 14
15 Key Characteristics of SMART : Nature s Modality Combines advantages of small molecules (cell penetrant) and protein therapeutics (able to engage flat surfaces) to bind undruggable targets The modality is clinically validated: Three approved drugs exploit the binding modality (Rapamycin, FK506, Cyclosporine) Follows rules of naturally occurring protein-protein interactions o binding to functional hydrophobic hotspots o cooperative binding mode, achieving high affinity and selectivity Exploits inherent adaptability of presenter protein binding surface Target selectivity of the modality is reprogrammable by modifying the variable region of the small molecule Warp Drive is Engineering this Modality to Develop SMART Drugs with these Attributes 15
