BRCTs are phosphoserine-binding domains found in proteins involved in DNA repair, DNA damage response and cell cycle regulation. BRCA1 is a BRCT domain-containing, tumor-suppressing protein expressed in the cells of breast and other human tissues. Mutations in BRCA1 have been found in ca. 50% of hereditary breast cancers. Cell-permeable, small-molecule BRCA1 inhibitors are promising anticancer agents, but are not available currently. Herein, with the assist of microarray-based platforms, we have discovered the first cell-permeable protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitors against BRCA1. By targeting the (BRCT)2 domain, we showed compound 15a and its prodrug 15b inhibited BRCA1 activities in tumor cells, sensitized these cells to ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis, and showed synergistic inhibitory effect when used in combination with Olaparib (a small-molecule inhibitor of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase) and Etoposide (a small-molecule inhibitor of topoisomerase II). Unlike previously reported peptide-based PPI inhibitors of BRCA1, our compounds are small-molecule-like and could be directly administered to tumor cells, thus making them useful for future studies of BRCA1/PARP-related pathways in DNA damage and repair response, and in cancer therapy.
