Nonsteroidal Dissociated Glucocorticoid Agonists Containing Azaindoles as Steroid A-Ring Mimetics
摘要:
Syntheses and structure activity relationships (SA R) of nonsteroidal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonists are described. These compounds contain azaindole moieties as A-ring mimetics and display various degrees of in vitro dissociation between gene transrepression and transactivation. Collagen induced arthritis studies in mouse have demonstrated that in vitro dissociated compounds (R)-16 and (R)-37 have steroid-like anti-inflammatory properties with improved metabolic side effect profiles, such as a reduced increase in body fat and scrum insulin levels, compared to steroids.
Optimization of Drug-Like Properties of Nonsteroidal Glucocorticoid Mimetics and Identification of a Clinical Candidate
摘要:
A series of nonsteroidal dissociated glucocorticoid receptor agonists was optimized for drug-like properties such as cytochrome P450 inhibition, metabolic stability, aqueous solubility, and hERG ion channel inhibition. This effort culminated in the identification of the clinical candidate compound (R)-39.
