Novel small molecule HDM2 inhibitor, substituted piperidine, was identified. Initial SAR study indicated potential for several position optimizations. Additional potency enhancement was achieved by introducing a sidechain off the aromatic ring. DMPK study of one of the active compounds has shown a moderate oral PK and reasonable bioavailability.
