Benzimidazoles as Potent and Orally Active mGlu5 Receptor Antagonists with an Improved PK Profile.

ABSTRACT: A focused chemical optimization effort of compound 1 based on metabolite elucidation is described, resulting in 15i, a highly potent and selective mGlu5 receptor antagonist with an improved pharmacokinetic profile compared to 1. Characterization of 15i in vivo in the fear-potentiated startle (FPS) paradigm revealed a robust reduction of conditioned fear behavior. This effect nicely correlates with the rat brain pharmacokinetics.

Novel 3-Oxazolidinedione-6-aryl-pyridinones as Potent, Selective, and Orally Active EP3 Receptor Antagonists.

Project description:High-throughput screening and subsequent optimization led to the discovery of novel 3-oxazolidinedione-6-aryl-pyridinones exemplified by compound 2 as potent and selective EP3 antagonists with excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Compound 2 was orally active and showed robust in vivo activities in overactive bladder models. To address potential bioactivation liabilities of compound 2, further optimization resulted in compounds 9 and 10, which maintained excellent potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties and showed no bioactivation liability in glutathione trapping studies. These highly potent, selective, and orally active EP3 antagonists are excellent tool compounds for investigating and validating potential therapeutic benefits from selectively inhibiting the EP3 receptor.

Synthesis and evaluation of orally active small molecule HIV-1 Nef antagonists.

Project description:The HIV-1 Nef accessory factor enhances viral replication and promotes immune system evasion of HIV-infected cells, making it an attractive target for drug discovery. Recently we described a novel class of diphenylpyrazolodiazene compounds that bind directly to Nef in vitro and inhibit Nef-dependent HIV-1 infectivity and replication in cell culture. However, these first-generation Nef antagonists have several structural liabilities, including an azo linkage that led to poor oral bioavailability. The azo group was therefore replaced with either a one- or two-carbon linker. The resulting set of non-azo analogs retained nanomolar binding affinity for Nef by surface plasmon resonance, while inhibiting HIV-1 replication with micromolar potency in cell-based assays without cytotoxicity. Computational docking studies show that these non-azo analogs occupy the same predicted binding site within the HIV-1 Nef dimer interface as the original azo compound. Computational methods also identified a hot spot for inhibitor binding within this site that is defined by conserved HIV-1 Nef residues Asp108, Leu112, and Pro122. Pharmacokinetic evaluation of the non-azo B9 analogs in mice showed that replacement of the azo linkage dramatically enhanced oral bioavailability without substantially affecting plasma half-life or clearance. The improved oral bioavailability of non-azo diphenylpyrazolo Nef antagonists provides a starting point for further drug lead optimization in support of future efficacy testing in animal models of HIV/AIDS.

Pharmacological characterization of a novel potent, selective, and orally active orexin 2 receptor antagonist, SDM-878.

Project description:Aims: Recently, we identified a novel orexin 2 (OX2 ) receptor antagonist, SDM-878 (2-(3-(2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)nicotinoyl)-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-3-methoxyisonicotinonitrile). The purpose of the present study is to characterize the in vitro and in vivo pharmacological effects of SDM-878.Methods: The in vitro potency and selectivity of SDM-878 were examined in CHO cells that exhibit stable expression of human orexin 1 (OX1 ), human orexin 2 (OX2 ), rat OX1 , and rat OX2 receptors. Then, the plasma half-life, oral bioavailability, and brain penetration of SDM-878 were examined in rats. The in vivo effect of SDM-878 in rats was tested using electroencephalography (EEG). The target engagement of SDM-878 in the rat brain was examined using the antagonistic effect against hyperlocomotion caused by the intracerebroventricular administration of the OX2 receptor agonist, ADL-OXB ([Ala11 , d-Leu15 ]-orexin B).Results: SDM-878 showed potent inhibitory activities for human and rat OX2 receptors with IC values of 10.6 and 8.8 nM, respectively, and approximately 1000-fold selectivity against the OX1 receptor. In rat studies, SDM-878 exhibited a relatively short half-life in plasma, oral bioavailability, and good brain penetration. These data indicate that SDM-878 is a potent, selective, orally active, and brain-penetrable OX2 receptor antagonist. In behavioral studies using rats, SDM-878 (100 mg/kg) antagonized hyperlocomotion caused by intracerebroventricular administration of ADL-OXB. SDM-878 exhibited a potent sleep-promoting effect at the same dose (100 mg/kg) in a rat EEG study.Conclusion: Our results suggest that SDM-878 is likely to be a good pharmacological tool for investigating the role of the OX2 receptor and may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of insomnia.

Discovery of GSK2193874: An Orally Active, Potent, and Selective Blocker of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4.

Project description:Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a member of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) superfamily of cation channels. TRPV4 is expressed in the vascular endothelium in the lung and regulates the integrity of the alveolar septal barrier. Increased pulmonary vascular pressure evokes TRPV4-dependent pulmonary edema, and therefore, inhibition of TRPV4 represents a novel approach for the treatment of pulmonary edema associated with conditions such as congestive heart failure. Herein we report the discovery of an orally active, potent, and selective TRPV4 blocker, 3-(1,4'-bipiperidin-1'-ylmethyl)-7-bromo-N-(1-phenylcyclopropyl)-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-quinolinecarboxamide (GSK2193874, 28) after addressing an unexpected off-target cardiovascular liability observed from in vivo studies. GSK2193874 is a selective tool for elucidating TRPV4 biology both in vitro and in vivo.

Discovery of 3-substituted aminocyclopentanes as potent and orally bioavailable NR2B subtype-selective NMDA antagonists.

Project description:A series of 3-substituted aminocyclopentanes has been identified as highly potent and selective NR2B receptor antagonists. Incorporation of a 1,2,4-oxadiazole linker and substitution of the pendant phenyl ring led to the discovery of orally bioavailable analogues that showed efficient NR2B receptor occupancy in rats. Unlike nonselective NMDA antagonists, the NR2B-selective antagonist 22 showed no adverse affects on motor coordination in the rotarod assay at high dose. Compound 22 was efficacious following oral administration in a spinal nerve ligation model of neuropathic pain and in an acute model of Parkinson's disease in a dose dependent manner.

Discovery of CS-0777: A Potent, Selective, and Orally Active S1P1 Agonist.

Project description:CS-0777 (3) is phosphorylated in vivo, and the phosphate of CS-0777 (CS-0777-P) (4) acts as a selective S1P receptor-1 (S1P1) modulator. We report herein the synthesis of CS-0777 and CS-0777-P, pharmacological effects such as S1P1 and S1P3 agonist activity in vitro, peripheral blood lymphocyte lowering effects and the suppressive effect on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), and also the pharmacokinetics in rats. CS-0777-P had ∼320-fold greater agonist activity for human S1P1 (EC50; 1.1 nM) relative to S1P3 (EC50; 350 nM). Following administration of single oral doses of 0.1 and 1 mg/kg of CS-0777 in rats, lymphocyte counts decreased significantly, with a nadir at 12 h postdose and recovery to vehicle control levels by 5 days postdose. In the EAE model compared to the vehicle-treated group, significant decreases in the cumulative EAE scores were observed for the 0.1 and 1 mg/kg CS-0777 groups in rats. CS-0777 is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS).

Discovery of tetrahydropyrazolopyrimidine carboxamide derivatives as potent and orally active antitubercular agents.

Project description:Tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffold was identified as a hit series from a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) whole cell high through-put screening (HTS) campaign. A series of derivatives of this class were synthesized to evaluate their structure-activity relationship (SAR) and structure-property relationship (SPR). Compound 9 had a promising in vivo DMPK profile in mouse and exhibited potent in vivo activity in a mouse efficacy model, achieving a reduction of 3.5 log CFU of Mtb after oral administration to infected mice once a day at 100 mg/kg for 28 days. Thus, compound 9 is a potential candidate for inclusion in combination therapies for both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant TB.
