Description

[0001]Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT DESCRIPTION COMPOSITIONS OF SULFONYL-PURINE COMPOUNDS AND USE THEREOF FOR MODIFYING FUNCTIONAL PROTEIN SITES CROSS REFRENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION 5 This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 649,306, filed May 17, 2024, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The presently disclosed subject matter relates to sulfonyl-purine and sulfonyl-purine analog- 10 containing compounds, as well as to their use in covalently modifying peptides and proteins, in proteomics, and for modulating the biological activity of peptides and proteins. For example, these compounds, also referred to herein as sulfonyl-purine (SuPUR) ligands or probes, can form covalent conjugates with nucleophilic groups in peptides and proteins (e.g., with phenols and amines of tyrosine and lysine side chains), thereby forming covalently modified peptides and proteins. Exemplary 15 covalently modified proteins described include amyloid-beta (A^)-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) and alpha / beta (^ / ^)-hydrolase domain 10 (ABHD10). BACKGROUND Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. Currently, no cure exists, and available treatments only manage early symptoms. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of beta- 20 amyloid (also known as amyloid-beta or Aβ) neurotoxicity. A^ is the pathological protein in AD, partly due to the interaction between Aβ and ABAD. ABAD is a mitochondrial protein that is an important regulator of energy balance and, upon Aβ binding, activates signaling cascades leading to neuronal death. One role of ABAD is maintaining the balance of estradiol / estriol in neurons. However, the Aβ- ABAD interaction disrupts this balance, resulting in decreased estradiol levels, increased reactive 25 oxygen species (ROS), and cell apoptosis. Two other proteins, peroxiredoxin-2, and annexin-1 are also implicated in the toxicity mediated by the Aβ-ABAD complex. ABHD10 is a member of the serine hydrolase superfamily and plays an important role in the metabolism of the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) by facilitating the removal of acyl glucuronide metabolite (AcMPAG) in the liver. This process detoxifies the body and reduces the 30 risk of MMF-induced side effects, such as leucopenia and gastrointestinal toxicity. ABHD10 also exhibits a similar detoxifying effect on probenecid acyl glucuronide (PRAG), the primary metabolite of the uricosuric agent probenecid, which can cause severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions. Additionally, ABHD10 has S-depalmitoylase activity, which acts on peroxiredoxin-5 (PRDX5), an important antioxidant protein. Therefore, ABHD10 can be classified as a member of the acyl protein 35 thioesterase (APT) family of regulatory proteins. So far, ABHD10 inhibitors have been reported to - 1 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT effectively inhibit its activity by covalently binding serine. However, these inhibitors can also display inhibitory activity to other serine hydrolase enzymes because of their conserved active site. Accordingly, there is an ongoing need for covalent probes and ligands for use in the investigation of the function of ABAD and ABHD10, as well as other proteins, and in the development 5 of therapeutic compounds that can modulate protein activity. In particular, there is an ongoing need for selective inhibitors of these proteins.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The presently disclosed subject matter will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying Figures and Examples, in which representative embodiments are shown. The presently disclosed subject matter can, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be 25 construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the embodiments to those skilled in the art. Certain components in the figures are not necessarily to scale, emphasis instead being placed upon illustrating the principles of the presently disclosed subject matter (in some cases schematically). 30 Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the presently described subject matter belongs. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. Throughout the specification and claims, a given chemical formula or name shall encompass 35 all active optical and stereoisomers, as well as racemic mixtures where such isomers and mixtures exist. - 20 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT I. Definitions The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the presently disclosed subject matter. While the following terms are believed to be well understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, 5 the following definitions are set forth to facilitate explanation of the presently disclosed subject matter. Following long-standing patent law convention, the terms “a”, “an”, and “the” refer to “one or more” when used in this application, including in the claims. For example, the phrase “a protein” refers to one or more proteins, including a plurality of the same protein. Similarly, the phrase “at least one”, when employed herein to refer to an entity, refers to, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 10 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 75, 100, or more of that entity, including but not limited to whole number values between 1 and 100 and greater than 100. Unless otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about”. The term “about”, as used herein when referring to a measurable value 15 such as an amount of mass, weight, time, volume, concentration, or percentage, is meant to encompass variations of in some embodiments ±20%, in some embodiments ±10%, in some embodiments ±5%, in some embodiments ±1%, in some embodiments ±0.5%, and in some embodiments ±0.1 % from the specified amount, as such variations are appropriate to perform the disclosed methods and / or employ the disclosed compositions. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set 20 forth in this specification and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the presently disclosed subject matter. As used herein, the term “and / or” when used in the context of a list of entities, refers to the entities being present singly or in combination. Thus, for example, the phrase “A, B, C, and / or D” includes A, B, C, and D individually, but also includes any and all combinations and subcombinations 25 of A, B, C, and D. The term “comprising”, which is synonymous with “including” “containing”, or “characterized by”, is inclusive or open-ended and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements and / or method steps. “Comprising” is a term of art that means that the named elements and / or steps are present, but that other elements and / or steps can be added and still fall within the scope of the relevant subject 30 matter. As used herein, the phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of the related disclosure or claim to the specified materials and / or steps, plus those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the disclosed and / or claimed subject matter. For example, a pharmaceutical composition can “consist essentially of” a pharmaceutically active agent or a plurality of 35 pharmaceutically active agents, which means that the recited pharmaceutically active agent(s) is / are the only pharmaceutically active agent(s) present in the pharmaceutical composition. It is noted, however, - 21 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT that carriers, excipients, and / or other inactive agents can and likely would be present in such a pharmaceutical composition and are encompassed within the nature of the phrase “consisting essentially of”. As used herein, the phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, step, or ingredient not 5 specifically recited. It is noted that, when the phrase “consists of” appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole. With respect to the terms “comprising”, “consisting of”, and “consisting essentially of”, where one of these three terms is used herein, the presently disclosed and claimed subject matter can include 10 the use of either of the other two terms. For example, a composition that in some embodiments comprises a given active agent also in some embodiments can consist essentially of that same active agent, and indeed can in some embodiments consist of that same active agent. The terms “additional therapeutically active compound” and “additional therapeutic agent”, as used in the context of the presently disclosed subject matter, refers to the use or administration of a 15 compound for an additional therapeutic use for a particular injury, disease, or disorder being treated. Such a compound, for example, could include one being used to treat an unrelated disease or disorder, or a disease or disorder which may not be responsive to the primary treatment for the injury, disease, or disorder being treated. As used herein, the terms “administration of” and / or “administering” a compound should be 20 understood to refer to providing a compound of the presently disclosed subject matter to a subject in need of treatment. The term “aqueous solution” as used herein can include other ingredients commonly used, such as sodium bicarbonate described herein, and further includes any acid or base solution used to adjust the pH of the aqueous solution while solubilizing a peptide. 25 The term “binding” refers to the adherence of molecules to one another, such as, but not limited to, enzymes to substrates, ligands to receptors, antibodies to antigens, DNA binding domains of proteins to DNA, and DNA or RNA strands to complementary strands. “Binding partner”, as used herein, refers to a molecule capable of binding to another molecule. The term “biocompatible”, as used herein, refers to a material that does not elicit a substantial 30 detrimental response in the host. As used herein, the terms “biologically active fragment” and “bioactive fragment” of a peptide encompass natural and synthetic portions of a longer peptide or protein that are capable of specific binding to their natural ligand and / or of performing a desired function of a protein, for example, a fragment of a protein of larger peptide which still contains the epitope of interest and is immunogenic. 35 The term “biological sample”, as used herein, refers to samples obtained from a subject, including but not limited to skin, hair, tissue, blood, plasma, cells, sweat, and urine. - 22 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT A “control” cell, tissue, sample, or subject is a cell, tissue, sample, or subject of the same type as a test cell, tissue, sample, or subject. The control may, for example, be examined at precisely or nearly the same time the test cell, tissue, sample, or subject is examined. The control may also, for example, be examined at a time distant from the time at which the test cell, tissue, sample, or subject is 5 examined, and the results of the examination of the control may be recorded so that the recorded results may be compared with results obtained by examination of a test cell, tissue, sample, or subject. The control may also be obtained from another source or similar source other than the test group or a test subject, where the test sample is obtained from a subject suspected of having a condition, disease, or disorder for which the test is being performed. 10 A “test” cell is a cell being examined. A “pathogenic” cell is a cell that, when present in a tissue, causes or contributes to a condition, disease, or disorder in the animal in which the tissue is located (or from which the tissue was obtained). A tissue “normally comprises” a cell if one or more of the cell are present in the tissue in an animal not afflicted with a condition, disease, or disorder. 15 As used herein, the terms “condition”, “disease condition”, “disease”, “disease state”, and “disorder” refer to physiological states in which diseased cells or cells of interest can be targeted with the compositions of the presently disclosed subject matter. As used herein, the term “diagnosis” refers to detecting a risk or propensity to a condition, disease, or disorder. In any method of diagnosis exist false positives and false negatives. Any one 20 method of diagnosis does not provide 100% accuracy. A “disease” is a state of health of an animal wherein the animal cannot maintain homeostasis, and wherein if the disease is not ameliorated then the animal’s health continues to deteriorate. In contrast, a “disorder” in an animal is a state of health in which the animal is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the animal’s state of health is less favorable than it would be in the absence 25 of the disorder. Left untreated, a disorder does not necessarily cause a further decrease in the animal’s state of health. As used herein, an “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound or composition sufficient to produce a selected effect, such as but not limited to alleviating symptoms of a condition, disease, or disorder. In the context of administering compounds in 30 the form of a combination, such as multiple compounds, the amount of each compound, when administered in combination with one or more other compounds, may be different from when that compound is administered alone. Thus, an effective amount of a combination of compounds refers collectively to the combination as a whole, although the actual amounts of each compound may vary. The term “more effective” means that the selected effect occurs to a greater extent by one treatment 35 relative to the second treatment to which it is being compared. - 23 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT As used herein, an “essentially pure” preparation of a particular protein or peptide is a preparation wherein in some embodiments at least about 95% and in some embodiments at least about 99%, by weight, of the protein or peptide in the preparation is the particular protein or peptide. In some embodiments, the terms “fragment”, “segment”, or “subsequence” as used herein refers 5 to a portion of an amino acid sequence, comprising at least one amino acid, or a portion of a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least one nucleotide. Thus, in some embodiments, the terms “fragment”, “segment”, and “subsequence” are used interchangeably herein. The phrase “sulfonyl-purine (SuPUR)” (or “SuPUR compound”) as used herein refers to a synthetic compound that includes a sulfonyl group directly attached to a nitrogen atom of a purine 10 moiety or a purine analog moiety (e.g., another bicyclic, imidazole-containing fused ring moiety, such as a hypoxanthine, xanthine, imidazopyridine, or benzimidazole moiety). The purine or purine analog moiety can be substituted or unsubstituted. Typically, a SuPUR compound can undergo SuPUR chemistry, e.g., in which the sulfonyl group of the SuPUR compound acts as an electrophile in a covalent reaction between the SuPUR compound and a reactive nucleophilic group of another 15 compound, such as a reactive amino acid residue in a protein or peptide. SuPUR compounds disclosed herein can include SuPUR “ligands” and SuPUR “probes.” As used herein, the terms “SuPUR probe” or “probe” can refer to a SuPUR compound that is broadly reactive and can be used to detect sites amenable to covalent reactions with SuPUR compounds. SuPUR probes can include a tag for detection. The tag for detection can be a moiety that can be directly 20 used for detection (e.g., a fluorophore, biotin or another affinity label, a radioisotope, etc.) or a moiety (e.g., an alkyne group) that can be chemically modified to incorporate a detectable group (e.g., biotin) after the SuPUR probe has undergone a covalent reaction with a SuPUR reactive site. In contrast, the terms “SuPUR ligand” or “ligand”, as used herein, can refer to a SuPUR compound that does not include a tag for detection and / or that has been tailored to undergo covalent reactions more selectively 25 with a particular reactive site and / or protein and / or peptide of interest. For example, the selectivity of a SuPUR ligand can be tailored via the addition of substituents that can alter the reactivity of the SuPUR compound via steric or electronic effects. In some embodiments, the SuPUR ligands can be used for the development of therapeutic agents that target and / or modulate the activity of one or more particular biological molecules of interest. 30 Thus, as used herein, in some embodiments, “ligand” can refer to a synthetic molecule (e.g., a SuPUR compound) that binds to a target compound or molecule, such as a reactive nucleophilic amino acid residue in a peptide or protein. In some embodiments, as can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art based on context, the term “ligand” as used herein can be used more generally to refer to any entity (e.g., a molecule) that specifically or selectively binds to or “is specifically or selectively 35 reactive with a second entity (e.g., a biomolecule, such as a peptide, protein, nucleic acid, lipid, etc.) when the ligand functions in a binding reaction which is determinative of the presence of the second - 24 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT entity in a heterogenous sample (i.e., a sample comprising a plurality of different entities, such as a plurality of different biomolecules). As used herein, a “functional” biological molecule is a biological molecule in a form in which it exhibits a property by which it can be characterized. A functional enzyme, for example, is one that 5 exhibits the characteristic catalytic activity by which the enzyme can be characterized. As used herein “injecting”, “applying”, and administering” include administration of a compound of the presently disclosed subject matter by any number of routes and modes including, but not limited to, topical, oral, buccal, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-arterial, intramedullary, intrathecal, intraventricular, transdermal, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, enteral, topical, 10 sublingual, vaginal, ophthalmic, pulmonary, vaginal, and rectal approaches. As used herein, the term “linkage” refers to a connection between two groups. The connection can be either covalent or non-covalent, including but not limited to ionic bonds, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic / hydrophilic interactions. As used herein, the term “linker” refers to a molecule that joins two other molecules either 15 covalently or noncovalently, such as but not limited to through ionic or hydrogen bonds or van der Waals interactions. The terms “measuring the level of expression” and “determining the level of expression” as used herein refer to any measure or assay which can be used to correlate the results of the assay with the level of expression of a gene or protein of interest. Such assays include measuring the level of 20 mRNA, protein levels, etc. and can be performed by assays such as northern and western blot analyses, binding assays, immunoblots, etc. The level of expression can include rates of expression and can be measured in terms of the actual amount of an mRNA or protein present. Such assays are coupled with processes or systems to store and process information and to help quantify levels, signals, etc. and to digitize the information for use in comparing levels. 25 The term “otherwise identical sample”, as used herein, refers to a sample similar to a first sample, that is, it is obtained in the same manner from the same subject from the same tissue or fluid, or it refers a similar sample obtained from a different subject. The term “otherwise identical sample from an unaffected subject” refers to a sample obtained from a subject not known to have the disease or disorder being examined. The sample may of course be a standard sample. By analogy, the term 30 “otherwise identical” can also be used regarding regions or tissues in a subject or in an unaffected subject. As used herein, “parenteral administration” of a pharmaceutical composition includes any route of administration characterized by physical breaching of a tissue of a subject and administration of the pharmaceutical composition through the breach in the tissue. Parenteral administration thus includes, 35 but is not limited to, administration of a pharmaceutical composition by injection of the composition, by application of the composition through a surgical incision, by application of the composition through - 25 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT a tissue-penetrating non-surgical wound, and the like. In particular, parenteral administration is contemplated to include, but is not limited to, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, intrasternal injection, and kidney dialytic infusion techniques. The term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a composition comprising at least one active 5 ingredient, whereby the composition is amenable to investigation for a specified, efficacious outcome in a mammal (for example, without limitation, a human). Those of ordinary skill in the art will understand and appreciate the techniques appropriate for determining whether an active ingredient has a desired efficacious outcome based upon the needs of the artisan. “Pharmaceutically acceptable” means physiologically tolerable, for either human or veterinary 10 application. Similarly, “pharmaceutical compositions” include formulations for human and veterinary use. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” means a chemical composition with which an appropriate compound or derivative can be combined and which, following the combination, can be used to administer the appropriate compound to a subject. 15 As used herein, the term “physiologically acceptable” ester or salt means an ester or salt form of the active ingredient which is compatible with any other ingredients of the pharmaceutical composition, which is not deleterious to the subject to which the composition is to be administered. “Plurality” means at least two. As used herein, the term “mass spectrometry” (MS) refers to a technique for the identification 20 and / or quantitation of molecules in a sample. MS includes ionizing the molecules in a sample, forming charged molecules; separating the charged molecules according to their mass-to-charge ratio; and detecting the charged molecules. MS allows for both the qualitative and quantitative detection of molecules in a sample. The molecules can be ionized and detected by any suitable means known to one of skill in the art. Some examples of mass spectrometry are “tandem mass spectrometry” or “MS / MS,” 25 which are the techniques wherein multiple rounds of mass spectrometry occur, either simultaneously using more than one mass analyzer or sequentially using a single mass analyzer. The term “mass spectrometry” can refer to the application of mass spectrometry to protein analysis. In some embodiments, electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization (MALDI) can be used in this context. In some embodiments, intact protein molecules can be ionized by the above 30 techniques, and then introduced to a mass analyzer. Alternatively, protein molecules can be broken down into smaller peptides, for example, by enzymatic digestion by a protease, such as trypsin. Subsequently, the peptides are introduced into the mass spectrometer and identified by peptide mass fingerprinting or tandem mass spectrometry. As used herein, the term “mass spectrometer” is used to refer an apparatus for performing mass 35 spectrometry that includes a component for ionizing molecules and detecting charged molecules. Various types of mass spectrometers can be employed in the methods of the presently disclosed subject - 26 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT matter. For example, whole protein mass spectroscopy analysis can be conducted using time-of-flight (TOF) or Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) instruments. For peptide mass analysis, MALDI time-of-flight instruments can be employed, as they permit the acquisition of peptide mass fingerprints (PMFs) at high pace. Multiple stage quadrupole-time-of-flight and the quadrupole ion trap 5 instruments can also be used. The terms “high throughput protein identification,” “proteomics” and other related terms are used herein to refer to the processes of identification of a large number or (in some cases, all) proteins in a certain protein complement. Post-translational protein modifications and quantitative information can also be assessed by such methods. One example of “high throughput protein identification” is a gel- 10 based process that includes the pre-fractionation and purification of proteins by one-dimensional protein gel electrophoresis. The gel can then be fractionated into several molecular weight fractions to reduce sample complexity, and proteins can be in-gel digested with trypsin. The tryptic peptides are extracted from the gel, further fractionated by liquid chromatography, and analyzed by mass spectrometry. In another approach, a sample can be fractionated without using the gels, for example, by protein 15 extraction followed by liquid chromatography. The proteins can then be digested in-solution, and the proteolytic fragments further fractionated by liquid chromatography and analyzed by mass spectrometry. As used herein, the term “Western blot,” which can be also referred to as “immunoblot”, and related terms refer to an analytical technique used to detect specific proteins in a sample. The technique 20 uses gel electrophoresis to separate the proteins, which are then transferred from the gel to a membrane (typically nitrocellulose or PVDF) and stained, in membrane, with antibodies specific to the target protein. The expression “stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture” (SILAC) is used herein to refer to an approach for incorporation of a label into proteins for mass spectrometry (MS)-based 25 quantitative proteomics. SILAC comprises metabolic incorporation of a given “light” or “heavy” form of the amino acid into the proteins. For example, SILAC comprises the incorporation of amino acids with substituted stable isotopic nuclei (e.g. deuterium,13C,15N). In an illustrative SILAC experiment, two cell populations are grown in culture media that are identical, except that one of them contains a “light” and the other a “heavy” form of a particular amino acid (for example,12C and13C labeled L- 30 lysine, respectively). When the labeled analog of an amino acid is supplied to cells in culture instead of the natural amino acid, it is incorporated into all newly synthesized proteins. After a number of cell divisions, each instance of the amino acid is replaced by its isotope-labeled analog. Since there is little chemical difference between the labeled amino acid and the natural amino acid isotopes, the cells behave substantially similar to the control cell population grown in the presence of a normal amino acid. 35 The term “prevent” as used herein means to stop something from happening, or taking advance measures against something possible or probable from happening. In the context of medicine, - 27 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT “prevention” generally refers to action taken to decrease the chance of getting a disease or condition. It is noted that “prevention” need not be absolute, and thus can occur as a matter of degree. A “preventive” or “prophylactic” treatment is a treatment administered to a subject who does not exhibit signs, or exhibits only early signs, of a condition, disease, or disorder. A prophylactic or 5 preventative treatment is administered for the purpose of decreasing the risk of developing pathology associated with developing the condition, disease, or disorder. “Polypeptide” refers to a polymer composed of amino acid residues, related naturally occurring structural variants, and synthetic non-naturally occurring analogs thereof linked via peptide bonds, related naturally occurring structural variants, and synthetic non-naturally occurring analogs thereof. 10 “Synthetic peptides or polypeptides” refers to non-naturally occurring peptides or polypeptides. Synthetic peptides or polypeptides can be synthesized, for example, using an automated polypeptide synthesizer. Various solid phase peptide synthesis methods are known to those of skill in the art.

Sulfonyl-purine (SuPUR) Covalent probes and ligands can serve as useful tools for the global investigation of protein function. For example, activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) utilizes active-site directed chemical probes to measure the functional state of large numbers of enzymes in native biological systems (e.g., 20 cells or tissues). Activity-based probes can comprise a reactive group for targeting a specific enzyme class and a reporter tag for detection e.g., by in-gel fluorescence scanning or by avidin-enrichment coupled with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS), respectively. Tuning the reactivity of sulfur electrophiles can be important for developing biorthogonal chemical probe discovery. To date, the activation of sulfur electrophiles for protein modification has 25 been related mainly to stabilizing a fluoride or a triazole leaving group (LG) in covalent reactions of sulfonyl-fluorides in sulfonyl-fluoride exchange (SuFEx) probes and ligands and in sulfonyl-triazoles in sulfonyl-triazole exchange (SuTEx) probes and ligands. General structures of SuFEx probe and SuTEx compounds are shown in Figure 1A. The presently disclosed subject matter relates to the use of sulfonyl-purine and sulfonyl-purine analog (e.g., sulfonyl-xanthine or sulfonyl-hypoxanthine) 30 compounds as sulfur electrophiles as part of an approach referred to herein as “sulfonyl-purine (SuPUR)” or “SuPUR” chemistry. The structure of a generic SuPUR compound is shown on the right side of Figure 1A. The structure of an exemplary SuPUR probe compound is shown in Figure 1B, while a workflow of the use of the SuPUR probe in proteomic studies is shown in Figure 1D. The SuPUR - 35 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT probe compound includes a terminal alkyne moiety that can act as a reporter tag, for instance, upon Click reaction with a desthiobiotin azide. The structure of an exemplary SuPUR ligand compound is shown in Figure 1C. As described herein, the SuPUR approach demonstrates that purine and purine analogs can be 5 effective leaving groups for activating nucleophilic substitution reactions (e.g., of tyrosine and lysine sites of peptides and proteins; see Figures 1E and 1F) and that SuPUR compounds can be used as covalent ligands that form covalent conjugates with nucleophilic groups in peptides and proteins. Proteomic studies using SuPUR compounds identified noncatalytic tyrosine and lysine residues that can be liganded by exemplary SuPUR ligands with site specificity and potency to disrupt protein function. 10 More particularly, as described hereinbelow, for example, a series of covalent SuPUR ligands were prepared and selective covalent labeling of amyloid-beta (A^)-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) and alpha / beta (^ / ^)-hydrolase domain 10 (ABHD10) was studied. Covalent modification of ABAD and ABHD10 with these compounds can inhibit the function of these enzymes, which are known to be closely related to mitochondrial metabolism and S-depalmitoylase. These compounds demonstrate the 15 broad utility of SuPUR chemistry for targeting functional pockets on proteins. For example, in some embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter provides a family of covalent ligands targeting an ABAD tyrosine (Tyr) residue to achieve the inhibition of ABAD, thereby advancing basic research in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and / or for facilitating development of therapeutic agents (e.g., small molecule agents) for treating AD. In some embodiments, the SuPUR ligand 20 covalently modifies (e.g., selectively and covalently modifies) tyrosine-168 (Y168) of ABAD. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter provides a family of covalent ligands for targeting an ABHD10 tyrosine (Try) residue to provide an ABHD10 inhibitor with improved selectivity compared to inhibitors that target serine residues.

Methods of Covalently Modifying Proteins Small molecules can serve as versatile tools for perturbing the functions of peptides and proteins in biological systems. Many human proteins currently lack selective chemical ligands; and there are several classes of proteins that are currently considered as undruggable. In some embodiments, 5 the presently disclosed SuPUR compounds can be used as covalent ligands to expand the landscape of proteins amenable to targeting by small molecules. In some instances, SuPUR compounds provide covalent ligands that combine features of recognition and reactivity, thereby providing for the selective targeting of sites on proteins of interest, including those that are difficult to address by reversible binding interactions alone and / or with other types of covalent ligands. 10 Scheme 1: SuPUR Reactions with Proteins with Reactive Tyrosine or Lysine Residues For example, Scheme 1 above shows the reaction of an exemplary SuPUR compound (e.g., an exemplary SuPUR ligand) with a protein having a reactive tyrosine (Y) or lysine (K). The SuPUR compound comprises a sulfur electrophile, i.e., a sulfonyl group directed attached to a nitrogen atom of 15 a purine moiety. The purine moiety acts as a leaving group (LG) in the reaction of the SuPUR compound with the nucleophilic phenol or amine moiety of the side chain of the tyrosine or lysine residue, resulting in a modified protein where a modified tyrosine or lysine residue is covalently attached to the sulfur atom from the SuPUR compound. The group -S(=O)2-R1from the SuPUR compound, which becomes covalently attached to the protein after the reaction, can be referred to herein 20 as an “adduct group” (or “AG”). AGs of SuPUR ligands can include a variety of optionally substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl (including heterocyclic), aryl (including heteroaryl), and aralkyl groups, while SuPUR “probes” can contain an AG group that comprises an alkyne group (e.g., a terminal alkyne group), a fluorophore moiety, another detectable moiety (e.g., an affinity label), or a combination thereof. In - 51 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT some embodiments, the alkyne group of an AG of a protein modified with a SuPUR probe can be contacted with an alkyne-reactive group (e.g., an azide) to attach a detectable group (e.g., a biotin) to the modified protein. In some embodiments, a SuPUR ligand of the presently disclosed subject matter can compete 5 with a SuPUR probe compound described herein for binding with a reactive amino acid residue, e.g., a reactive tyrosine and / or lysine residue. In some embodiments, the ligand molecule comprises an AG moiety that facilitates interaction of the compound with a particular amino acid residue of interest, e.g., a reactive tyrosine and / or lysine residue. In some cases, the ligand comprises an AG moiety that facilitates hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bonding, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, 10 the ligand can comprise an AG moiety that can increase or decrease steric hinderance at the electrophilic sulfonyl group, thereby modifying the reactivity of the ligand. The presently disclosed SuPUR ligands are typically non-naturally occurring and / or form non-naturally occurring adducts after reaction with a biological target, e.g., a protein or peptide. Exemplary SuPUR ligands include, for example, the compounds referred to herein as ZH-1-049-0, ZH-1-049-2, ZH-1-059, ZH-1-060, ZH-1-063, ZH-1-065, 15 ZH-1-069, ZH-1-075, ZH-1-089, ZH-2-017, ZH-2-018, ZH-2-019, ZH-2-020, ZH-2-022, ZH-2-023, ZH-2-024, ZH-2-025, ZH-2-026, ZH-2-027, ZH-2-029, ZH-2-035, ZH-2-036, ZH-2-039, ZH-2-053, ZH-2-058, ZH-2-067, ZH-2-069, ZH-2-071, ZH-2-073, ZH-2-077, ZH-2-079, ZH-2-085, ZH-2-087, ZH-2-093, ZH-2-095, ZH-2-097, ZH-2-099, ZH-2-101, ZH-2-103, ZH-2-105, ZH-2-115, and ZH-2- 055. Exemplary SuPUR probes include the compounds referred to herein as AHL-PuP-2, ZH-1-142, 20 and ZH-1-143. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter provides a method of covalently modifying a protein or peptide in a sample, wherein the method comprises contacting the sample with a SuPUR compound (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), (Ia), (Ib), (II), (II’), (III), or (III’) described hereinabove). In some embodiments, the contacting provides a covalent modified peptide or protein, 25 wherein said covalently modified peptide or protein comprises one or more covalently modified tyrosine or covalently modified lysine residues, wherein the covalently modified tyrosine or covalently modified lysine residues comprise a structure: - 52 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT wherein R1is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, substituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, substituted cycloalkyl, aralkyl, substituted aralkyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, and substituted heteroaryl. In some embodiments, R1is selected from phenyl and substituted phenyl. In some embodiments, the sample is a biological sample. In some embodiments, covalently 5 modifying the protein or peptide modulates a biological activity of the protein or peptide. In some embodiments, modifying the protein or peptide inhibits or activates a biological activity of the protein or peptide. For example, in some embodiments, the protein is an enzyme and covalently modifying the enzyme with the compound inhibits the enzyme. In some embodiments, modulating the activity of a protein comprises enhancing or reducing the ability of the protein to interact with other compounds,10 such as other proteins. Thus, in some embodiments, the modulation results in reducing the protein- protein interactions of the protein comprising the reactive amino acid. In some embodiments, modulating the activity of a protein comprising a comprises inhibiting, blocking (partially or substantially completely) or disrupting a protein-RNA interaction, a protein-DNA interaction, a protein- lipid interaction, and / or a protein-metabolite interaction of the protein. Thus, in accordance with some 15 embodiments of the presently disclosed subject matter, the presently disclosed ligands can serve as tools for the global investigation of protein function. In some embodiments, the protein or peptide is selected from ABAD, guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha stimulating activity polypeptide (GNAS), and ABHD10. In some embodiments, the protein is ABHD10 or another serine hydrolase. In some embodiments, the protein is ABAD. In some embodiments, the method comprises 20 contacting a sample comprising ABAD with a SuPUR compound as described herein. In some embodiments, the SuPUR compound is a compound of Formula (I). In some embodiments, Y and Z in the compound of Formula (I) are each selected from N and NH. In some embodiments, the SuPUR compound is a compound of Formula (Ia), (Ib), (II’), or (III’). In some embodiments, R in the SuPUR compound of Formula (I) is -S(=O)2-R1, wherein R1comprises a substituted phenyl group. In some25 embodiments, the substituted phenyl group comprises a halo, alkyl (e.g., methyl), perhaloalkyl (e.g., - CF3), perhaloalkoxy (e.g., -OCF3), or alkoxy (e.g., methoxy) substituent at one or both ortho positions. In some embodiments, the substituted phenyl group comprises a cyano substituent at the para position. In some embodiments, the SuPUR compound is selected from ZH-2-025, ZH-2-029, ZH-2-085, ZH-2- 093, and ZH-2-101. 30 In some embodiments, the SuPUR compound modifies ABAD at a non-catalytic tyrosine residue. In some embodiments, the non-catalytic tyrosine residue is tyrosine-168 (Y168).

In some instances, the difference is an increase, decrease or a lack of protein-probe interaction in the two samples. In some instances, the isotope-labeled method is termed SILAC, stable isotope labeling using amino acids in cell culture. 15 In some embodiments, a method comprises incubating a sample (e.g. cell sample, cell lysate sample, or comprising isolated proteins) with a labeling group (e.g., an isotopically labeled labeling group) to tag one or more proteins of interest for further analysis.

In some cases, the ReDi labeling method comprises methylating peptides from a first 30 processed sample with a “light” label using reagents with hydrogen atoms in their natural isotopic distribution and peptides from a second processed sample with a “heavy” label using deuterated formaldehyde and cyanoborohydride. Subsequent proteomic analysis (e.g., mass spectrometry analysis) based on a relative peptide abundance between the heavy and light peptide version might be used for analysis of probe-protein interactions. 35 In some embodiments, isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) method is utilized for processing a sample. In some cases, the iTRAQ method is based on the covalent labeling of - 60 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT the N-terminus and side chain amines of peptides from a processed sample.

Summarily, To a solution of purine (1.0 equivalent) in anhydrous CH3CN was added Et3N (2.0 15 equivalent) and sulfonyl chloride materials (1.0 equivalent). The reaction mixture was stirred for 0.5-5 hours at room temperature. Subsequently, the organic mixture was diluted with EtOAc, which was washed with saturated brine three times. The organic solution was dried by Na2SO4and was concentrated by evaporator. The crude product was purified by a silica gel column (elution phase: Hexanes and EtOAc) to afford the SuPUR ligands. 20 Scheme 3: Synthesis of sulfonyl purine ligands; Reagents and conditions: (a) CH3CN, Et3N, rt, 0.5-5 hours - 72 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT 9-tosyl-9H-purine (ZH-1-049-0).

Results were determined by gel-based scanning and LC-MS / MS analysis. 20 LC–MS / MS analysis of samples. Nano-electrospray ionization–LC–MS / MS analyses were performed using an Ultimate 3000 RSLC nanoSystem-Orbitrap Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific) as previously described (see Franks et al. (2017) Cell Chemical Biology 24(7):870- 880) except LC conditions were modified to use the following gradient (A, 0.1% formic acid / H2O; B, 80% MeCN, 0.1% formic acid in H2O): 0–1.48 min 1% B, 400 nL min-1; 1.48–2:00 min 1% B, 300  25 nL min-1; 2–90 min 16% B; 90–14625% B; 146–147 min 95% B; 147–153 min 95% B; 153–154 min 1% B; 154.0–154.1 min 1% B, 400 nL min-1; 154.1–180 min 1% B, 400  nL min-1. A top ten data- dependent acquisition MS method was used. LC–MS / MS data analysis. Identification of peptides and proteins from tandem mass spectrometry analyses was accomplished using the Byonic software package (Protein Metrics Inc.; see 30 Bern et al. (2012) Current Protocols in Bioinformatics 13, Unit 1320.). Data were searched against a modified human protein database (UniProt human protein database, angiotensin I and vasoactive intestinal peptide standards; 40,660 proteins) with the following parameters: up to three missed cleavages to account for a lysine probe modification, 10 ppm precursor mass tolerance, 20 ppm fragment mass tolerance, too high (narrow) ‘precursor isotope off by x’, precursor and charge 35 assignment computed from MS1, maximum of one precursor per MS2, 0.01 smoothing width, 1% protein false discovery rate, variable (common) methionine oxidation (+15.9949 Da) and fixed cysteine - 81 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT carbamidomethylation (+57.021464 Da). Search results were filtered for a Byonic score of >300 (unless otherwise specified), a Delta Mod score of >20, and a precursor mass error between −5 and +5 ppm. A Byonic score of 300 was applied for a more inclusive initial evaluation of the search results and thereby consider more possible probe-modified sites. 5 Analysis and comparison of probe-modified amino acid sites. To compare amino acid residues modified by electrophilic probes, protein and peptide identifications were accomplished as described above on the following amino acid residues: cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, histidine, lysine, methionine, asparagine, glutamine, arginine, serine, threonine, tryptophan and tyrosine. For these amino acid comparisons, carbamidomethylation (+57.021464 Da) of cysteines was searched as a 10 variable / common modification to allow for the potential of probe modification on cysteines. Venn diagrams for comparisons were generated using InteractiVenn.net. See Heberle et al. (2015) BMC Bioinformatics 16(1):169. For amino acid comparisons, a Byonic score cutoff of 300 was used to minimize false positive identifications of modified residues, which were confirmed by manual evaluation to be incorrect assignments. 15 NAD bioluminescent assay (sold under the tradename NAD / NADH-GLO™; Promega Corporation, Madison, Wisconsin, United States of America). 1.

Discussion of the EXAMPLES 1 and 2 The binding pocket of ABAD includes a non-catalytic tyrosine. Given initial ABPP studies 5 showing that the SuPUR compounds preferentially modify tyrosine and lysine residues (see Figure 1F), additional studies were carried out to determine if the compounds could covalently modify this residue and whether Tyr168 modification could inhibit ABAD activity. Exemplary SuPUR compound ZH-1- 049-2 was active in modifying ABAD in a concentration-dependent manner. See Figure 2A. In addition, ZH-1-049-2 was reactive with wild-type ABAD, but not with a mutant ABAD where tyrosine 10 168 was changed to a glycine See Figure 2C. The presence of the tyrosine at residue 168 was important for maintaining ABAD activity. See Figure 2C. Gel-based screening using a library of SuPUR compounds (see Figure 3A) indicated that, in addition to ZH-1-049-2 (see Figure 3B), ZH-2-025 and ZH-2-029 showed concentration-dependent labeling of ABAD. See Figure 3C and 3D. ZH-2-029 and ZH-2-025 showed better reactivity for ABAD 15 compared to ZH-1-049-2. The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of these three compounds was determined. See Figure 3E. ZH-2-025 was most effective at inhibiting the activity of ABAD, with an IC50of 430 nM. ZH-2-029 had an IC50of 571 nm and ZH-1-049-2 had an IC50of 776 nM. The initial data and subsequent modeling of ZH-2-025 in the ABAD binding pocket suggested the possibility of interactions (e.g., the formation of a halogen bond) between the ortho-chloro20 substituent in ZH-2-025 and Gly93. See Figure 4A. Thus, additional SuPUR compounds with ortho- substituted phenyl groups was studied. See Figures 4B-4D. ESP calculations of three dihalo-substituted SuPUR compounds suggested demonstrated that Cl and Br maintain a positive electrostatic potential, which is important for halogen bonds. See Figure 4E. Additional biological activity testing of ABAD and SuPUR modified ABAD was performed. 25 See Figures 5A-5I. ZH-2-025 exhibited potent binding affinity for ABAD with IC50values of 53.7 nM. See Figures 5A and 5B. ZH-2-025 and ZH-2-029 disrupted the interaction of ABAD and A^ 1-42. See Figures 5C, 5D, and 5F. ZH-2-025 exhibited cell toxicity, while ZH-2-029 exhibited moderate cell toxicity. See Figures 5E and 5G. ZH-2-029 could stabilize ABAD, particularly the dimer. See Figure 5H. ZH-2-029 was able to reduce ROS production. See Figure 5I. 30 Initial studies with ABHD10 showed that ZH-1-049-2 was also able to modify ABHD10 in a concentration-dependent manner. See Figure 6. Further studies using a library of SuPUR compounds (see Figure 7A) showed that ZH-2-025 had potent labeling activity for ABHD10. See Figures 7B and 7C. Further studies showed that ZH-2-097 and ZH-2-103 also showed potent ADHD10 labeling. See Figures 8A-8D. Based on the data and docketing studies of ZH-2-097 and ABHD10, it is believed that 35 ZH-2-097 can maintain hydrogen bonds with Tyr215, His279 and Ser152 in the ABHD10 binding - 83 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT pocket. In addition, the perfluoralkoxyl substituent of ZH-2-097 can maintain hydrogen bonds with Arg280. See Figures 9A-9C. The ability of ZH-2-097 to label other serine hydrolases was studied. See Figure10A. In addition, the binding site of ZH-2-097 in ABHD10 was further validated. See Figures 10B-10E. 5 Overall, ZH-2-097 showed very selective labelling activity for ABHD10. Introduction to EXAMPLES 3-8 Synthesis of SuPUR Probes. As an alternative strategy, SuPUR Probes of the presently disclosed subject matter can be synthesized as per Scheme 4 below. Materials were from commercial sources and were used as received. Organic solvents were concentrated via a rotary evaporator 10 (Heidolph) under reduced pressure (VARIO PC 3001) at 35 °C - 50 °C. Reactions were monitored using silica gel TLC plates (GF254, 0.25 mm) and visualized under UV (365 / 254 nm) light. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) spectra were determined using Bruker AV-600 MHz, AV-500 MHz or Agilent 400 MHz instruments. Coupling constants are reported in Hz and multiplicities are quoted as singlet (s), doublet(d), triplet (t), quartet 15 (q), heptet (h), multiplet (m), and broad signal (bs). High-resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded on an Agilent Q-Tof mass spectrometer. 20 Scheme 4: Reagents and conditions: (a) EDCI, rt, 2 hours, 49%; (b) DMF, K2CO3, rt, 1-6 hours, 13-41%. - 84 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT S1 was synthesized according to procedures described elsewhere.

General probes (AHL-PuP-2 and ZH-2-087) preparation was shown as Scheme 4 above. To a 5 solution of purine (1.0 equivalent) in anhydrous DMF (5-10 mL) was added K2CO3(2.0 equivalent) and sulfonyl chloride (S1, 1.0 equivalent). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1-6 hours at room temperature. Subsequently, the organic mixture was diluted with EtOAc, which was washed with saturated brine three times.

EXAMPLE 3 Development of SuPUR Chemoproteomics 25 SuPUR probes were synthesized by sulfonylation of the purine N7 or N9 with a minimal alkynyl reporter design previously demonstrated to be compatible with tandem liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) analyses (see Kovalska et al. (2014) Nature Chemical Biology 16(2): - 85 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT 150-159]. It was anticipated that the purine would exhibit sufficient leaving group ability to activate SuPUR modification of proteins in a manner analogous to that reported for sulfonyl-azole chemistry {Nature chemical biology, 16(2), 150–159]. Strategic placement of the sulfonyl-purine electrophile at the N7 vs N9 position afforded opportunities for prioritizing target sites proteome-wide via 5 regioselective recognition. To assess protein labeling activity, HEK293T cell proteomes were treated with the SuPUR probes AHL-PuP-2 (N7 isomer) or ZH-2-087 (N9 isomer) followed by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) conjugation of rhodamine-azide and SDS-PAGE detection of fluorescent protein bands. These gel-based chemoproteomic studies demonstrated comparable concentration- and 10 time-dependent labeling activity for the SuPUR probes. Importantly, pretreatment with free purine resulted in a substantial loss of AHL-PuP-2 and ZH-2-087 probe labeling activity. Next, label-free, LC-MS / MS chemoproteomics were conducted to identify nucleophilic residues on proteins preferentially modified by SuPUR chemistry. Careful inspection of MS2 spectra from SuPUR probe-modified peptides identified y- and b-fragment ions that confidently localized 15 probe modifications on residues modified by SuPUR reaction (SuPUR adduct mass of 635.2737 Da; see Figure 11. Across the 13 nucleophilic amino acids evaluated on detectable peptides, it was determined that AHL-PuP-2 and ZH-2-087 preferentially modified tyrosine (Y, ~60%) and lysine (K, ~40%). Compared with SuTEx (see Hahm et al. (2020) Nature Chemical Biology 16(2):150-159), the SuPUR chemistry 20 appeared to show higher lysine binding preference (40% vs 25% K modifications, respectively). Binding site coverage between AHL-PuP-2 and ZH-2-087 was comparable in SuPUR probe treated proteomes (~14,000-15,000 probe-modified peptides; see Figure 12A). Comparison of binding sites labeled by each respective probe revealed overlapping (64%) but also, interestingly, distinct sites for the N7 (AHL-PuP-2, 31%) and N9 isomer SuPUR probes (ZH-2-087, 38%) that also translated into 25 distinct protein targets (see Figures 12B and 12C). Proteins that were labeled by N7- compared with N9-SuPUR probes were enriched for different biological functions as measured by Gene Ontology analyses. These data highlighted the capability of SuPUR probes for regioselective and proteome-wide assessment of targetable protein sites. The chemoproteomic profiling was expanded to five additional human cell proteomes to determine the breadth of proteomic coverage attainable with the SuPUR 30 platform. Using AHL-PuP-2, an average of about 13,000 modified sites were detected from each cell line that collectively translated to greater than 31,000 total modified sites (~50 / 50 distribution between Y and K sites) from about 4,300 proteins. This chemoproteomic dataset is believed to represent the most comprehensive database of tyrosine and lysine residues in the human proteome amenable to covalent targeting. It was further discovered that ~20% of SuPUR-modified sites resided in a predicted 35 drug pocket, providing insights into which detectable sites are likely candidates for further ligand discovery efforts. Importantly, it was determined that SuPUR chemoproteomics can capture a - 86 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT substantial fraction (41%) of the human purine interactome with coverage across multiple subclasses of purine-binding proteins (30-50%; see Figure 19). Finally, gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway enrichment of proteins identified by AHL- PuP-2 was performed to investigate their associated biological process(es). The top enrichments were 5 associated with cellular metabolism and RNA processing, likely due to the role of purine as an endogenous metabolite and a building block for RNA, which can mimic substrates such as ATP, GTP, NAD+, adenosine, and other purine-based metabolites. EXAMPLE 4 Deep Analysis of the SuPUR Ligandable Proteome 10 Domain enrichment analysis was performed on SuPUR-modified sites to gain a deeper understanding of proteins domains targeted. As expected, enrichment for RNA-binding regions (RRM domain) from the SuPUR-bound sites was observed given that purine is a core constituent of nitrogenous bases found in RNA. Beyond RNA, domains involved in binding ATP (protein kinase domain) and GTP (RAB domain), which are cofactors that contain a purine component, were also 15 enriched in the SuPUR dataset. To determine whether SuPUR-targeted proteins have known drugs or ligands, a comparative analysis of AHL-PuP-2 identified proteins against DrugBank and ChEMBL databases was performed. The analysis revealed that over 50% of these proteins lacked known bioactive ligands or approved drugs, suggesting that SuPUR could provide an enabling assay for developing targeted agents for 20 intractable targets or those without effective ligands. To explore purine recognition in greater depth, gel-based competitive activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) was performed to determine SuPUR probe labeling could be outcompeted with free purine pretreatment. Pretreatment with free purine resulted in concentration dependent blockade of AHL-PuP-2 and ZH-2-087 probe labeling with prominent reductions in fluorescent labeling at the 25 highest concentration tested. Importantly, competition with benzimidazole, which is a similar scaffold but lacks key nitrogen atoms for purine recognition, demonstrated a lack of inhibitory activity in the probe competition study. These findings supported purine recognition as an important factor for the observed SuPUR probe labeling in the proteome. To test whether SuPUR detected sites are ligandable regions on proteins, the N7- and N9- 30 substituted SuPUR ligands, ZH-1-049-2 and ZH-2-055, respectively, were synthesized for evaluation in a competitive tandem mass tag (TMT)-ABPP assay. To assess purine recognition, the single-nitrogen deletion (N-delete) control compounds ZH-2-036 (N7) and ZH-5-019 (N9) were synthesized and regioisomer structures confirmed by X-ray crystallography. The regioisomer structures for this ligand fragment set was further confirmed by carbon (13C) NMR analysis, which revealed detectable 35 differences in the C4 / C5 and C5 signals of the SuPUR and N-delete regioisomer pairs, respectively (see Figure 13). - 87 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT Next, SuPUR TMT-ABPP deploying AHL-PuP-2 as the detection probe was performed in HEK293T proteome to identify the targets and binding sites of ZH-1-049-2. In brief, HEK293T proteomes were pretreated with SuPUR ligand (25 µM, 1 hour) followed by SuPUR probe labeling (100 µM, 1 hour), CuAAC conjugation of desthiobiotin-azide, trypsin digestion, TMT labeling, avidin 5 chromatography, and LC-MS / MS analysis of probe-modified peptides. Among the liganded targets, TMT-ABPP analysis indicated that the SuPUR ligand ZH-1-049-2 but not the corresponding N-delete control ZH-2-036 exhibited potent covalent binding activity towards multiple druggable sites, including ABHD10 Y215, GSTP1 Y8, ABAD Y168, GNPNAT1 Y165, and PARP2 Y455 (see Figures 14A and 14B). These competition events were due to probe binding blockade and not protein expression changes 10 as evidenced by matching unenriched TMT analyses. Subsequently, SuPUR TMT-ABPP was performed using ZH-2-087 probe and the matching N9 SuPUR ligand ZH-2-055. Chemoproteomics analysis revealed that ZH-2-055 but not the N-delete ZH- 5-019 control retained potent covalent binding activity to several proteins also liganded by ZH-1-049- 2, including ABHD10, GSTP1, and ABAD (see Figures 14C and14D). Akin to studies with ZH-1-049- 15 2, changes in protein expression profiles for proteins with prominent alterations in probe competition ratios were not observed. By comparing ZH-1-049-2 and ZH-2-055 proteomic binding profiles, several liganded sites were identified including PARP2 (Y455) and GNPNAT1 (Y165) that exhibited regioselective interactions. EXAMPLE 5 20 SuPUR Fragment Ligand Binds Catalytic and Non-catalytic Sites to Disrupt Enzymatic Functions Several ZH-1-049-2-liganded sites are located within or near active sites prompting its further testing as an inhibitor of target proteins. Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) and alpha / β-hydrolase domain containing 10 (ABHD10) were selected for initial evaluation. Covalent inhibitors of ABHD10, a serine hydrolase enzyme, are reported but inactivate principally 25 through binding the catalytic and highly conserved active site serine residue (Cao et al. (2019) Nature Chemical Biology 15(12):1232-1240). Whether covalent engagement of the non-catalytic tyrosine Y215, located near the catalytic serine S152, can block ABHD10 activity remains unknown. A gel- based competitive ABPP assay with the established activity-based probe fluorophosphonate-rhodamine (FP-Rh) was employed to evaluate ZH-1-049-2 inhibitory activity against ABHD10. The results 30 indicated that ZH-1-049-2 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity, with an IC50value of approximately 10 µM against a 34 kDa band matching the expected MW of ABHD10, Subsequently, to confirm target engagement against ABHD10 and to assess selectivity across the serine hydrolase family, a the competitive ABPP evaluation using FP-biotin and a TMT-based MS readout was performed. Quantitative ABPP analysis identified 65 serine hydrolase proteins, with ZH- 35 1-049-2 showing 40% inhibition of ABHD10 at 25 µM, while the ZH-2-036 control showed no inhibitory activity. - 88 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT Next, whether covalent binding of ZH-1-049-2 to Y168 could affect ABAD activity was tested. ABAD is a mitochondrial dehydrogenase involved in steroid metabolism and reported to interact with intracellular amyloid-beta resulting in neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Currently, there is a lack of potent and direct acting ABAD inhibitors (see Morsy & Trippier (2019) Journal of 5 Medicinal Chemistry 62(9):4252-4264). Evaluation of ABAD structures demonstrated that ZH-1-049- 2-liganded site Y168 is a part of a highly conserved catalytic triad in ABAD and forms hydrogen bond with its cofactor NAD+. To assess the inhibitory activity of compound ZH-1-049-2 and control ZH-2-036, an NAD(P) / NAD(P)H-Glo biochemical assay for ABAD was established. ZH-1-049-2 showed moderate 10 inhibitory activity, with an IC50of 1.45 ± 0.15 µM. In contrast, control ZH-2-036 exhibited only weak inhibitory activity, while the reported ABAD inhibitor Frentizole showed no activity at 100 µM. The ability to achieve selectively within members of an enzyme family is important for advancing fragment hits in ligand discovery programs. The activity of ZH-1-049-2 against PARP2 but not PARP1 in the presently disclosed chemoproteomic studies was intriguing given that ZH-1-049-2 15 binds the conserved Y455 site in the NAD+binding pocket of the active site that is also engaged by the clinical drug Olaparib (Wang et al. (2025) Bioorganic Chemistry 160:108471). A PARP biochemical assay was used to determine whether this SuPUR ligand could block PARP2 biochemical activity and if the compound showed preferential blockade of PARP2 vs PARP1. The result indicated that ZH-1- 049-2 showed concentration-dependent blockade of PARP2 with submicromolar potency (IC50of 273 20 nM) and negligible activity against PARP1 even at the highest concentration tested (200 µM. As expected, treatment with Olaparib under the same experimental conditions resulted in comparable and potent inactivation of PARP1 and PARP2 (IC50of ~1 nM). Taken together, it has been demonstrated that the SuPUR ligand can block diverse enzymatic functions with varying degrees of ligand efficiency (micro- to nano-molar potency) and in some cases 25 with an unexpected degree of isoform specificity. EXAMPLE 6 Rapid Optimization of an Ultrapotent and Proteome-wide Selective SuPUR ABHD10 Inhibitor The ligandability assessment of ZH-1-049-2 showed preliminary evidence that the SuPUR scaffold could be optimized into potent and selective inhibitors of diverse protein classes. Whether this 30 common fragment starting point could be rapidly progressed into distinct targeted covalent inhibitors was then assessed. If demonstrated, the SuPUR chemotype could expedite the fragment-based ligand discovery (FBLD) by reducing the number of fragment lead compounds that need to be screened at the onset of a discovery campaign. ABHD10 was pursued for initial discovery because development of a proteome-wide selective serine hydrolase inhibitor through targeting a non-catalytic tyrosine residue 35 has not been achieved to date. - 89 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT Molecular docking revealed that the terminal phenyl group of ZH-1-049-2 extends into a solvent-exposed pocket, suggesting that substituent groups could be introduced at this position to improve binding affinity. A focused library of 24 SuPUR ligands with modifications on the phenylsulfone was developed, and initial evaluation by competitive gel-based ABPP indicated that the 5 2,6-dichloro-substituted compound ZH-2-025 showed a dramatic boost in potency (30-fold) compared with ZH-1-049-2 (IC50~0.36 compared with ~12 µM for ZH-2-025 vs. ZH-1-049-2). ZH-2-025 exhibited an IC50of approximately 360 nM in HEK293T following in situ treatment. A docking study for ZH-2-025 was conducted, which identified that the chlorine atom of ZH-2-025 forms a hydrogen bond with Arg280 of ABHD10. Based on this binding modeling, small electron- 10 withdrawing or electron-donating groups were introduced at this position to disclose their impact on binding affinity. The gel-based ABPP screening demonstrated that OCF3and CF3-substituted compounds, ZH-2-097 and ZH-2-103, exhibited IC50values of less than 200 nM with in situ treatment; however, ZH-2-103 showed off target activity, as indicated on the gel data. ZH-2-097 was also evaluated by gel-based ABPP with in vitro treatment, yielding an IC50value of approximately 50 nM. 15 Therefore, further studies focusing on ZH-2-097 were conducted. In addition, to investigate the impact of regio-isomers on ABHD10 binding affinity, the 9- positioned sulfonyl derivative ZH-2-098 was synthesized, and the regio-isomer was further confirmed by crystal structures. Gel-ABPP showed that both compounds exhibited potent activity with IC50of about 50 nM. The docking model identified that ZH-2-097 could occupy the serine catalytic pocket, 20 with OCF3group forming hydrogen bonds with Tyr87. To further confirm the binding affinity of ZH-2-097 to ABHD10 in HEK293T soluble and membrane proteome with in situ treatment, gel-ABPP was performed. It was determined that ZH-2-097 exhibited potent activity against ABHD10 with IC50values less than 200 nM (i.e., 132.4 ± 67.3 nM for the soluble fraction and 171.9 ± 57.2 nM for the membrane fraction), with no significant off-targets. 25 While not wishing to be bound by any particular theory of operation, it is believed that the SuPUR ligands disclosed herein inhibited ABHD10 activity by targeting a non-catalytic tyrosine rather than the canonical catalytic serine. This finding is indicative of a novel mechanism of action against ABHD10. ZH-2-097 functions as a “lock” by covalently binding to Tyr215, thereby locking the serine catalytic pocket and disrupting the recruitment of its substrate (Figure 15). 30 To assess the selectivity of ZH-2-097 in serine hydrolase families, MS-based ABPP was conducted to identify its targets in the HEK293T proteome using FP-biotin with in situ treatment. The MS analysis identified 65 serine hydrolases, and ZH-2-097 demonstrated remarkable selectivity with a dose-dependent inhibition of ABHD10 (Figure 16). ZH-2-097 still maintained excellent selectivity even when considering all 1770 proteins detectable by LC-MS / MS, and it also showed significant inhibitory 35 activity against ABHD10 compared to control ZH-2-036. - 90 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT To further confirm the binding site of ZH-2-097, ZH-2-097 competitive TMT-ABPP using the SuPUR probe AHL-PuP-2 in the HEK293T proteome was performed. The unenriched TMT data showed no significant alterations in the ABHD10 protein profile in the compound treated group compared to DMSO control group. In contrast, the enriched proteomics analysis of the probe modified 5 peptides proved that ZH-2-097 could bind to the Tyr215 site with ultra-selectivity in a dose-dependent manner (Figures 17A and 17B). Furthermore, the level of probe-modified peptide containing binding site Tyr215 exhibited significant differences when compared to control ZH-2-036. To investigate the contribution of purine to the binding of SuPUR ligands with ABHD10, compounds ZH-5-039-1, ZH-5-039-2, and ZH-5-037 were synthesized through the nitrogen walk along 10 the purine core. Gel-ABPP analysis indicated that only purine containing SuPUR ligand ZH-2-097 exhibited nanomolar binding affinity for ABHD10, highlighting the purine backbone as an important recognition group. To expand the potential for future pharmacological therapeutic applications, gel-based competitive ABPP was conducted in mouse tissue, including heart, liver, kidney, lung, spleen, and 15 brain. The results demonstrated that ZH-2-097 exhibited nanomolar activities in all tested tissues other than the liver. EXAMPLE 7 Development of an ABAD Inhibitor Using SuPUR Ligand Targeting a Catalytic Tyrosine Aβ-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) is a key enzyme involved in steroid metabolism, 20 and its binding to Aβ is thought to contribute to the neurotoxicity. The inhibition of ABAD holds a promising therapeutic potential for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and various cancers. However, to date only a limited number of small molecules targeting ABAD with moderate binding affinities have been reported. Herein is presented the development of a potent ABAD inhibitor utilizing SuPUR ligand to selectively target a catalytic tyrosine. 25 First, to further confirm the binding site of AHL-PuP-2 on ABAD, the gel-based ABPP including wild-type (WT) and corresponding Y168G mutant in HEK293T proteome was performed. The result, consistent with proteomics data, demonstrated that AHL-PuP-2 exhibited high reactivity with Tyr168 residue of ABAD. Gel-based competitive ABPP was performed to evaluate the binding affinity of ZH-1-049-2 for ABAD in HEK293T proteome, yielding an IC50of approximately 5 µM. 30 ABAD is a key enzyme involved in regulating the balance between estradiol and estrone in neurons. A stable and robust biochemical assay based on NAD(P) / NAD(P)H-Glo system was developed using estradiol (E2) as the substrate. Notably, the Z’ factor of 0.549 indicated excellent assay quality, making it well-suited for high-throughput screening of ABAD inhibitors. Cofactor selectivity and the functionality of the Tyr168 residue using NAD(P) / NAD(P)H-Glo 35 assay was investigated. In this biological system, NAD+facilitates the oxidization of estradiol to estrone, while NADP+did not sustain enzyme activity, resulting in the readout value equivalent to the - 91 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT background signal without substrate estradiol. Notably, the mutation of Tyr168 to Gly168 resulted in a complete loss of catalytic activity, suggesting that Tyr168 is an essential functional residue for ABAD. SuPUR compounds could thus efficiently inhibit ABAD by selectively targeting Tyr168. Docking studies revealed that ZH-1-049-2 occupied the NAD+binding pocket, with its sulfonyl group forming 5 hydrogen bonds with Tyr168 and Lys172. And the binding pocket provides ample space to accommodate minor substations on phenyl group. The SuPUR library was then constructed by introducing small groups to the phenyl group. The library was screened by gel-based competitive ABPP and NAD(P) / NAD(P)H-Glo assay, leading to identification of a potent ligand, ZH-2-029, which exhibited inhibitory activity against ABAD with an 10 IC50of 559 ± 60 nM. To investigate the impact of regio-isomers on ABAD binding affinity, the 7-positioned sulfonyl purine ZH-2-030, was synthesized. Gel-ABPP revealed a micromolar binding affinity of ZH-2-030 for ABAD with an IC50of 2392 ± 818 nM, indicating regioselectivity for ABAD. To further investigate the role of purine core in SuPUR binding to ABAD, compounds ZH-5- 15 055-1, ZH-5-055-2, and ZH-5-057 were synthesized through the nitrogen walk along the purine scaffold. Gel-based competitive ABPP results demonstrated that only purine-containing ZH-2-029 and not ZH-5-057, ZH-5-055-1, or ZH-5-055-2 exhibited nanomolar binding affinity for ABAD, highlighting the purine backbone as a key driving force for target binding (Figure 18), NAD(P) / NAD(P)H-Glo results further confirmed that only SuPUR compounds retained potent 20 inhibitory activity against ABAD, with ZH-2-029 and ZH-2-030 exhibiting IC50values of 202 ± 27 nM and 489 ± 83 nM, respectively. To investigate the ability of ZH-2-029 to target ABAD in living cells, HEK293T cells overexpressing ABAD were treated with ZH-2-029 followed by protein labeled with AHL-PuP-2. The results indicated that ZH-2-029 exhibited promising activity against ABAD in living cells, with an IC5025 of 2.0 ± 1.2 µM, while control compound ZH-5-057 showed an IC50greater than 25 µM. The docking study revealed that ZH-2-029 could form hydrogen bonds with Tyr168, Ser155, and Phe201 of ABAD (see e.g., Accession No. NP_004484.1 of the GENBANK® biosequence database). Notably, the binding site is positioned near the interaction surface of ABAD and Aβ, suggesting that ZH-2-029 may disrupt the ABAD-Aβ interaction. The pull-down assay demonstrated 30 that ABAD-Aβ interaction was inhibited by ZH-2-029. To further confirm the binding site of ZH-2-029 in living cells, we performed SuPUR TMT- ABPP using AHL-PuP-2 in HEK293T proteome. Unenriched proteomics data showed no significant alterations in the ABAD protein profile between the compound-treated group and DMSO group. In contrast, the enriched proteomics analysis of probe modified peptides demonstrated that ZH-2-029 35 selectively binds to the Tyr168 site at 10 µM. Thus, while not wishing to be bound by any particular theory of operation, the presently disclosed data suggest a mechanism by which Tyr168 serves as a - 92 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT ligandable site for ABAD inhibition by SuPUR ligands and an underlying mechanism of action (MoA) that presents a potential therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases. EXAMPLE 8 Discovery of First-in-class ACAT2 binders by Covalent Targeting of Tyrosine 5 To explore the disease categories overrepresented in AHL-PuP-2 labeled protein database, disease ontology (DO) enrichment analysis was performed. The analysis revealed a significant association of proteins with cell proliferation, especially for gastrointestinal (GI) cancer and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The phenotype screening of the presently disclosed sulfonyl purine (SuPUR) library and control compounds was performed using cell viability assay at a concentration of 30 µM. 10 Several SuPUR ligands exhibited an inhibition rate greater than 60% in SiHa cells, including ZH-2- 025, ZH-2-053, ZH-2-077, and ZH-2-101. Subsequently, IC50values of these promising compounds were assayed in SiHa cells, with ZH- 2-077 exhibiting more potent activity than ZH-2-025, ZH-2-053, and ZH-2-101. To investigate the contribution of purine core to the effect of ZH-2-077 on cell proliferation, 15 control compounds ZH-5-049-1, ZH-5-049-2, and ZH-5-051 were synthesized by applying a nitrogen walk along the purine scaffold. The cell viability results showed that ZH-2-077 maintained potent inhibitory activity in SiHa and NCI-N87 cancer cells, with IC50values of 14.5 ± 0.2 µM and 12.4 ± 2.8 µM, respectively. In contrast, no significant inhibitory activity was observed in the non-cancerous HEK293T cell line. It’s noteworthy that control compounds ZH-5-049-1, ZH-5-051, and ZH-5-049-2 20 exhibited no inhibitory activity across various cancer cell lines, suggesting that the purine core is essential for the inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. Consequently, SuPUR TMT-ABPP was performed to investigate the target and bind site of ZH- 2-077 in SiHa cells using AHL-PuP-2, with ZH-5-049-1 included as a control. The enriched proteomics result revealed that ZH-2-077 selectively and covalently binds to Tyr237 of acetyl-CoA 25 acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2 (see e.g., Accession No. NP_005882.2 of the GENBANK® biosequence database), a key enzyme involved in fatty acid and ketone body metabolism. Meanwhile, unenriched proteomics data showed no significant alterations in the ACAT2 protein profile between the compound- treated group and DMSO group. Bioinformatics analyses of clinical profiles indicated that ACTA2 is highly expressed in certain 30 cancers and is closely associated with poor overall survival (OS), particularly in squamous and gastric cancers. Thus, whether compound ZH-2-077 might inhibit growth of cancer cells by targeting ACAT2 was tested. To further validate the target and binding site, SuPUR TMT-ABPP was performed in the SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell line in which ACAT2 is highly expressed. The result demonstrated that ZH-2-077 could selectively bind to ACAT2 by covalently targeting Tyr237. Gel-based competitive 35 ABPP in HEK293T soluble proteome revealed that ZH-2-077 exhibited potent activity with an IC50of 1197 ± 246 nM, while the controls showed no binding activity for ACAT2. - 93 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT Further analysis in HEK293T membrane proteome revealed that ACAT2 is primarily localized in soluble fraction. TMT-ABPP was then performed in the HEK293T soluble proteome, confirming that ZH-2-077 selectively binds to ACTA2 by targeting Tyr237 (see Accession No. Q9BWD1 of the GENBANK® biosequence database). To investigate the binding affinity in living cells, gel-based 5 ABPP was performed with HEK293T overexpressing ACAT2 by pre-treating with ZH-2-077 and control compounds. ZH-2-077 exhibited a single digital micromolar IC50of 4.2 ± 2.0 µM To investigate the impact of SuPUR regio-isomers on ACAT2 binding affinity, the 9-positioned (N9) sulfonyl purine, ZH-2-078, was synthesized. Gel-ABPP revealed ZH-2-078 completely lost activity against ACAT2. Crystallographic analysis revealed that the binding site Tyr237 is in the CoA 10 substrate pocket, where it can form an alkyl-π interaction with CoA, suggesting that Tyr237 is a crucial functional residue for ACAT2 catalytic activity. Docking studies of ACAT2 with ZH-2-077 indicated that a hydrogen bond could form between purine core of ZH-2-077 and Ile254. In contrast, ZH-2-078 was unable to retain this key interaction, resulting in a decreased binding affinity for ACAT2. Alignment of the substrate CoA with ZH-2-077 demonstrated that ZH-2-077 effectively occupies the 15 substrate CoA binding pocket 1, thereby inhibiting ACAT2 activity. Summarily, SuPUR ligand ZH-2-077 was identified as a first-in-class covalent inhibitor of ACAT2 by selectively targeting Tyr237. ZH-2-077 further exhibited promising inhibitory activity in SiHa and NCI-N87 cancer cells, supporting its use as a lead compound for inhibiting ACAT2 and designing other ACAT2 inhibitors for cancer therapeutics. 20 Discussion of the EXAMPLES One class of abundant and structurally related metabolites with divergent cell biological functions are purines. Substituted purines form the building blocks of energy cofactors (adenosine triphosphate [ATP] and guanosine triphosphate [GTP], coenzymes in oxidation-reduction reactions, secondary messengers (e.g., cyclic AMP, cyclic GMP), neurotransmitters (e.g., adenine), enzyme 25 cofactors (e.g., nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide), inflammatory signals (e.g., urate), and nucleotides (e.g., adenosine monophosphate [AMP] and guanosine monophosphate [GMP]). These purine metabolites are generated from both de novo biosynthesis and salvage pathways. The strategic placement of a sulfonyl-purine electrophile at the N7 (AHL-PuP-2) or N9 (ZH-2- 30 087) position facilitates evaluation of regioselective binding. This approach is analogous to incorporating chirality into chemoproteomic probes for evaluating stereoselective binding, which helps identify binding events due to recognition compared with general labeling of residues. Regioselective binding by chemoproteomics, in contrast, is largely unexplored and is a distinct feature enabled by purine-based electrophiles. - 94 - Attorney Docket No.: 3436 / 3 PCT It will be understood that various details of the presently disclosed subject matter can be changed without departing from the scope of the presently disclosed subject matter.
