Description of TAK-733: TAK-733 is an orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2 (MEK1/2) with potential antineoplastic activity. MEK inhibitor TAK-733 selectively binds to and inhibits the activity of MEK1/2, preventing the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, which may result in the inhibition of growth factor-mediated cell signaling and tumor cell proliferation. MEK1/2 (MAP2K1/K2) are dual-specificity threonine/tyrosine kinases that play key roles in the activation of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and are often upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types.

TAK-733 is being developed at Millennium Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-hematological malignancies. Phase I clinical trials are ongoing for the treatment of advanced metastatic melanoma. In preclinical studies, the compound has been shown to bind to and potently inhibit MEK.

TAK-733 exhibited potent enzymatic and cell activity with an IC50 of 3.2 nM against constitutively active MEK enzyme and an EC50 of 1.9 nM against ERK phosphorylation in cells. TAK-733 did not inhibit any other kinases, receptors or ion channels that were tested with inhibitor concentrations up to 10 μM. TAK-733 was found to bind plasma protein moderately (ca. 97% for human and 96% for mouse), and exhibit high permeability and high microsomal stability across species. It did not inhibit P450s up to 30 μM.
The co-crystal structure of TAK-733 in the MEK1 allosteric site has been solved (Fig. 3). As predicted, the pyridone oxygen makes a hydrogen bond with the backbone NH of Ser212. The 2-fluoro-4-iodoaniline moeity sits in the deep lipophilic pocket. The pyrimidinone oxygen makes a hydrogen bond with Lys97, and the propanediol terminal hydroxyl interacts with both Lys97 and the ADP phosphate.

TAK-733 is an MEK kinase inhibitor that entered phase I clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. A noteworthy feature of this short synthesis (25% yield overall) is the one-pot, three-step synthesis of the fluoropyridone D, in which the fluorine atom is present at the outset.
The reaction of F with the nosylate G gave a mixture of N- and O-alkylation products (8:1) from which the desired N-alkylation product was isolated by crystallization. The mixture of N-methyl pyrrolidine (NMP) and methanol used in the final deprotection step, helped to ensure formation of the desired polymorph. The nine-step discovery synthesis (3% overall yield) is also presented.
