4-Amino-2-cyanopyrimidines: Novel scaffold for nonpeptidic cathepsin S inhibitors
摘要:
We describe here a novel 4-amino-2-cyanopyrimidine scaffold for nonpeptidomimetic cathepsin S selective inhibitors. Some of the synthesized compounds have sub-nanomolar potency and high selectivity toward cathepsin S along with promising pharmacokinetic and physicochemical properties. The key structural features of the inhibitors consist of a combination of a spiro[2.5]oct-6-ylmethylamine P2 group at the 4-position, a small or polar P3 group at the 5-position and/or a polar group at the 6-position of the pyrimidine.

We describe here orally active and brain-penetrant cathepsin S selective inhibitors, which are virtually devoid of hERG K(+) channel affinity, yet exhibit nanomolar potency against cathepsin S and over 100-fold selectivity to cathepsin L. The new non-peptidic inhibitors are based on a 2-cyanopyrimidine scaffold bearing a spiro[3.5] non-6-yl-methyl amine at the 4-position. The brain-penetrating cathepsin S inhibitors demonstrate potential clinical utility for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and neuropathic pain. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
