Abstract

A high-throughput fragment-based screen has been employed to discover a series of quinazolinone inositol hexakisphosphate kinase (IP6K) inhibitors. IP6Ks have been studied for their role in glucose homeostasis, metabolic disease, fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, blood coagulation, neurological development, and psychiatric disease. IP6Ks phosphorylate inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) to form pyrophosphate 5-diphospho-1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate (IP7). Molecular docking studies and investigation of structure-activity relationships around the quinazolinone core resulted in compounds with submicromolar potency and interesting selectivity for IP6K1 versus the closely related IP6K2 and IP6K3 isoforms.
