A 3D structure-based pharmacophore model built for bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is reported here, specifically developed for investigating and identifying the key structural features of the (+)-JQ1 known inhibitor within the BRD4 binding site. Using this pharmacophore model, 273 synthesized and purchased compounds previously considered for other targets but yielding poor results were screened in a drug repositioning campaign. Subsequently, only six compounds showed potential as BRD4 binders and were subjected to further biophysical and biochemical assays. Compounds 2, 5, and 6 showed high affinity for BRD4, with IC50 values of 0.60 ± 0.25 µM, 3.46 ± 1.22 µM, and 4.66 ± 0.52 µM, respectively. Additionally, these compounds were tested against two other bromodomains, BRD3 and BRD9, and two of them showed high selectivity for BRD4. The reported 3D structure-based pharmacophore model proves to be a straightforward and useful tool for selecting novel BRD4 ligands. |
