Discovery of benzimidazole oxazolidinediones as novel and selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.

ABSTRACT: Elaboration of the oxazolidinedione series led to replacement of the exocyclic amides with substituted benzimidazoles. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration resulted in the discovery of potent and selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists with significantly improved microsomal stability and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile relative to the HTS hit 1a. One compound 2p possessed comparable efficacy as spironolactone (SPL) at 100 mg/kg (p.o.) in the rat natriuresis model. As such, this series was validated as a lead series for further optimization.

Discovery, optimization, and characterization of novel D2 dopamine receptor selective antagonists.

Project description:The D2 dopamine receptor (D2 DAR) is one of the most validated drug targets for neuropsychiatric and endocrine disorders. However, clinically approved drugs targeting D2 DAR display poor selectivity between the D2 and other receptors, especially the D3 DAR. This lack of selectivity may lead to undesirable side effects. Here we describe the chemical and pharmacological characterization of a novel D2 DAR antagonist series with excellent D2 versus D1, D3, D4, and D5 receptor selectivity. The final probe 65 was obtained through a quantitative high-throughput screening campaign, followed by medicinal chemistry optimization, to yield a selective molecule with good in vitro physical properties, metabolic stability, and in vivo pharmacokinetics. The optimized molecule may be a useful in vivo probe for studying D2 DAR signal modulation and could also serve as a lead compound for the development of D2 DAR-selective druglike molecules for the treatment of multiple neuropsychiatric and endocrine disorders.

A new mode of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism by a potent and selective nonsteroidal molecule.

Project description:Limitations of current steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists have stimulated the search for a new generation of molecules. We screened for novel nonsteroidal compounds and identified MR antagonists derived from the chemical class of dihydropyridines. Chemical optimization resulted in BR-4628, which displays high in vitro and in vivo MR potency as well as selectivity with respect to the other steroid hormone receptors and the L-type calcium channel. Biochemical studies demonstrated that BR-4628 forms complexes with MR that do not promote the recruitment of transcriptional co-regulators. Docking experiments, using the crystal structure of the MR ligand-binding domain in an agonist conformation, revealed that BR-4628 accommodates in the MR ligand-binding cavity differently in comparison with the classical steroidal MR antagonists. An alanine scanning mutagenesis approach, based on BR-4628 docking, allowed identifying its anchoring mode within the ligand-binding cavity. Altogether, we propose that BR-4628 is a bulky antagonist that inactivates MR through a passive mechanism. It represents the prototype of a new class of MR antagonists.

Discovery of a novel nonsteroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator by virtual screening and bioassays.

Project description:Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) have been widely used in the treatment of a broad range of inflammatory diseases, but their clinic use is limited by undesired side effects such as metabolic disorders, osteoporosis, skin and muscle atrophies, mood disorders and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis suppression. Selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators (SGRMs) are expected to have promising anti-inflammatory efficacy but with fewer side effects caused by GCs. Here, we reported HT-15, a prospective SGRM discovered by structure-based virtual screening (VS) and bioassays. HT-15 can selectively act on the NF-κB/AP1-mediated transrepression function of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and repress the expression of pro-inflammation cytokines (i.e., IL-1β, IL-6, COX-2, and CCL-2) as effectively as dexamethasone (Dex). Compared with Dex, HT-15 shows less transactivation potency that is associated with the main adverse effects of synthetic GCs, and no cross activities with other nuclear receptors. Furthermore, HT-15 exhibits very weak inhibition on the ratio of OPG/RANKL. Therefore, it may reduce the side effects induced by normal GCs. The bioactive compound HT-15 can serve as a starting point for the development of novel therapeutics for high dose or long-term anti-inflammatory treatment.

Novel Nonsteroidal Progesterone Receptor (PR) Antagonists with a Phenanthridinone Skeleton.

Project description:The progesterone receptor (PR) plays an important role in various physiological systems, including female reproduction and the central nervous system, and PR antagonists are thought to be effective not only as contraceptive agents and abortifacients but also in the treatment of various diseases, including hormone-dependent cancers and endometriosis. Here, we identified phenanthridin-6(5H)-one derivatives as a new class of PR antagonists and investigated their structure-activity relationships. Among the synthesized compounds, 37, 40, and 46 exhibited very potent PR antagonistic activity with high selectivity for PR over other nuclear receptors. These compounds are structurally distinct from other nonsteroidal PR antagonists, including cyanoaryl derivatives, and should be useful for further studies of the clinical utility of PR antagonists.

Why are mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists cardioprotective?

Project description:Two clinical trials, the Randomized ALdosterone Evaluation Study (RALES) and the EPlerenone HEart failure and SUrvival Study (EPHESUS), have recently shown that mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists reduce mortality in patients with heart failure on top of ACE inhibition. This effect could not be attributed solely to blockade of the renal MR-mediated effects on blood pressure, and it has therefore been proposed that aldosterone, the endogenous MR agonist, also acts extrarenally, in particular in the heart. Indeed, MR are present in cardiac tissue, and possibly aldosterone synthesis occurs in the heart. This review critically addresses the following questions: (1) is aldosterone synthesized at cardiac tissue sites, (2) what agonist stimulates cardiac MR normally, and (3) what effects are mediated by aldosterone/MR in the heart that could explain the beneficial effects of MR blockade in heart failure? Conclusions are that most, if not all, of cardiac aldosterone originates in the circulation (i.e., is of adrenal origin), and that glucocorticoids, in addition to aldosterone, may serve as the endogenous agonist of cardiac MR. MR-mediated effects in the heart include effects on endothelial function, cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy, oxidative stress, cardiac inotropy, coronary flow, and arrhythmias. Some of these effects occur via or in synergy with angiotensin II, and involve a non-MR-mediated mechanism. This raises the possibility that aldosterone synthase inhibitors might exert beneficial effects on top of MR blockade.

Development of N-(4-Phenoxyphenyl)benzenesulfonamide Derivatives as Novel Nonsteroidal Progesterone Receptor Antagonists.

Project description:We report here development of N-(4-phenoxyphenyl)benzenesulfonamide derivatives as a novel class of nonsteroidal progesterone receptor (PR) antagonists. PR plays key roles in various physiological systems, including the female reproductive system, and PR antagonists are candidates for clinical treatment of multiple diseases, including uterine leiomyoma, endometriosis, breast cancer, and some psychiatric disorders. We found that the benzenesulfonanilide skeleton functions as a novel scaffold for PR antagonists, and we adopted 3-chlorobenzenesulfonyl derivative 20a as a lead compound for structural development. Among the synthesized compounds, 3-trifluoromethyl derivative 32 exhibited the most potent PR-antagonistic activity, with high binding affinity for PR and selectivity over androgen receptor (AR). It is structurally distinct from other nonsteroidal PR antagonists, including cyanopyrrole derivatives, and further modification is expected to afford novel selective PR modulators.

Synergistic reduction in albuminuria in type 2 diabetic mice by esaxerenone (CS-3150), a novel nonsteroidal selective mineralocorticoid receptor blocker, combined with an angiotensin II receptor blocker.

Project description:Esaxerenone is a novel selective mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blocker that was recently approved in Japan to treat hypertension. In phase II and III studies, esaxerenone plus a renin-angiotensin system inhibitor markedly reduced the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in hypertensive patients with diabetic nephropathy. To evaluate a direct renoprotective effect by MR blockade independent of an antihypertensive effect in the context of diabetic nephropathy, esaxerenone (3 mg/kg), olmesartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker; 1 mg/kg), or both were orally administered to KK-Ay mice, a type 2 diabetes model, once daily for 56 days. Urinary albumin (Ualb), UACR, and markers, such as podocalyxin, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), were measured, along with systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting blood glucose, and serum K+ levels. Prior to the initiation of drug administration, KK-Ay mice showed higher blood glucose, insulin, Ualb excretion, and UACR levels than C57BL/6 J mice, a nondiabetic control, indicating the development of diabetic renal injury. Combined treatment with esaxerenone and olmesartan significantly reduced the change in UACR from baseline compared with the change associated with vehicle at week 8 (-1.750 vs. 0.339 g/gCre; P < 0.002) and significantly inhibited the change in Ualb from baseline compared with the change associated with vehicle at week 8 (P < 0.002). The combination treatment also reduced urinary excretion of podocalyxin and MCP-1, but did not influence 8-OHdG excretion, SBP, blood glucose, or serum K+ levels. Overall, esaxerenone plus olmesartan treatment ameliorated diabetic nephropathy in KK-Ay mice without affecting SBP, suggesting that the renoprotective effects of esaxerenone could be exerted independently of its antihypertensive effect.

The Ascent of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Diabetic Nephropathy.

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy is defined as a decline in the renal function and an increase in the amount of albuminuria (>300 mg/day). The interruption of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) by well-established therapies such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers or diuretics has been beneficial in reducing the progression of renal diseases; however, there is an increase in the levels of aldosterone due to the aldosterone escape phenomenon. Newer and novel approaches to counteract this aldosterone breakthrough while accentuating the anti-hypertensive and anti-proteinuric effects of these agents would be ideal and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists fit in this slot perfectly. This review attempted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists for diabetic nephropathy. Presently mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as spironolactone, eplerenone and finerenone are being investigated as both monotherapies and as additional therapies. Clinical studies have shown that these drugs have been effective in the reduction of blood pressure, urinaryalbumin- excretion and estimated glomerular filtration rate. The commonly observed adverse effects are hyperkalemia, gynaecomastia and vaginal bleeding, that are bothersome with spironolactone seems to be avoidable if these patients are switched to non-steroidal and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as finerenone and eplerenone. Most of the studies have only evaluated the shortterm effects of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists on diabetic nephropathy. Hard outcomes such as cardiovascular events, creatinine doubling, progression to end-stage renal disease, mortality and the need for temporary or permanent dialysis need to be studied with these molecules.
