Mitigating hERG Inhibition: Design of Orally Bioavailable CCR5 Antagonists as Potent Inhibitors of R5 HIV-1 Replication
摘要:
A series of CCR5 antagonists representing the thiophene-3-yl-methyl ureas were designed that met the pharmacological criteria for HIV-1 inhibition and mitigated a human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) inhibition liability. Reducing lipophilicity was the main design criteria used to identify compounds that did not inhibit the hERG channel, but subtle structural modifications were also important. Interestingly, within this series, compounds with low hERG inhibition prolonged the action potential duration (APD) in dog Purkinje fibers, suggesting a mixed effect on cardiac ion channels.

The present invention relates to chemokine receptor binding compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and their use. More specifically, the present invention relates to modulators of chemokine receptor activity, preferably modulators of CCR5. These compounds demonstrate protective effects against infection of target cells by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
