Drug-to-Genome-to-Drug, Step 2: Reversing Selectivity in a Series of Antiplasmodial Compounds
摘要:
In a recent paper, we have described the discovery of antimalarial compounds derived from tadalafil, using a drug-to-genome-to-drug approach (J. Med. Chem. 2011, 54 (9), pp 3222-3240). We have shown that these derivatives inhibit the phosphodiesterase activity of Plasmodium falciparum and the parasite growth in culture. In this paper, we describe the optimization of these compounds. A direct consequence of our approach based on gene orthology is the lack of selectivity of the compounds over the original activity on the human target. We demonstrate here that it is possible to take advantage of subtle differences in SAR between HsPDE5 inhibition and antiplasmodial activity to improve significantly the selectivity. In particular, the replacement of the piperonyl group in compound 2 by a dimethozyphenyl group was the best way to optimize selectivity. This observation is consistent with the differences between human and plasmodial sequences in the Q2 pocket receiving this group.

The invention relates to the use of chiral tetra-hydro β-carboline derivatives of formula (I) for the preparation of pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and/or the treatment of parasitic diseases involving parasites having a phosphodiesterase activity:
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in which:
- R1 and R2, identical or different, represent a hydrogen atom or a fluorine atom;
- k is an integer equal to 0 or 1;
- R3 is selected from the group consisting of:
■ a phenyl ring optionally substituted
■ a 3'-N-pyridine ring optionally substituted
- R4 is a group selected in the group consisting of the following groups: -NH-A-R5, -NHC(O)-R5 and the groups of formulas (II-a) to (II-c) below:
The invention also relates to some new chiral tetra-hydro β-carboline derivatives.
The present invention relates to derivatives of tadalafil, substituted with fluorine on the methylene carbon atom situated between the oxygens of the benzodioxol ring, and optionally further substituted with deuterium atoms in place of normally abundant hydrogen, and

C in place of normally abundant

C. These compounds are selective PDE5 inhibitors and possess advantageous biopharmaceutical and pharmacokinetic properties. The invention further provides compositions comprising these compounds and methods of treating diseases and conditions that are responsive to PDE5 inhibition, alone and in combination with additional agents.
