Abstract

Alterations of discoidin domain receptor1 (DDR1) may lead to increased production of inflammatory cytokines, making DDR1 an attractive target for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy. A scaffold-based molecular design workflow was established and performed by integrating a deep generative model, kinase selectivity screening and molecular docking, leading to a novel DDR1 inhibitor compound , which showed potent DDR1 inhibition profile (IC = 10.6 ± 1.9 nM) and excellent selectivity against a panel of 430 kinases ( (10) = 0.002 at 0.1 μM). Compound potently inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and DDR1 autophosphorylation in cells, and it also demonstrated promising oral therapeutic effect in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model.
