Maximizing Lipophilic Efficiency: The Use of Free-Wilson Analysis in the Design of Inhibitors of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
摘要:
This paper describes the design and synthesis of a novel series of dual inhibitors of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 and 2 (ACC1 and ACC2). Key findings include the discovery of an initial lead that was modestly potent and subsequent medicinal chemistry optimization with a focus on lipophilic efficiency (LipE) to balance overall druglike properties. Free-Wilson methodology provided a clear breakdown of the contributions of specific structural elements to the overall LipE, a rationale for prioritization of virtual compounds for synthesis, and a highly successful prediction of the LipE of the resulting analogues. Further preclinical assays, including in vivo malonyl-CoA reduction in both rat liver (ACC1) and rat muscle (ACC2), identified an advanced analogue that progressed to regulatory toxicity studies.

several small molecule inhibitors have been described in the literature, their cellular activity has proved to be underwhelming. In this work, we describe the identification of a novel series of ATAD2 inhibitors by high throughput screening, confirmation of the bromodomain region as the site of action, and the optimization campaign undertaken to improve the potency, selectivity, and permeability of the
