Himbacine-Derived Thrombin Receptor Antagonists: C7-Spirocyclic Analogues of Vorapaxar
摘要:
We have synthesized several C-7-spirocyclic analogues of vorapaxar and evaluated their in vitro activities against PAR-1 receptor. Some of these analogues showed activities and rat plasma levels comparable to vorapaxar. Compound 5c from this series showed excellent PAR-1 activity (K-i = 5.1 nM). We also present a model of these spirocyclic compounds docked to the PAR-1 receptor based on the X-ray crystal structure of vorapaxar bound to PAR-1 receptor. This model explains some of the structure activity relationships in this series.
Himbacine-Derived Thrombin Receptor Antagonists: C7-Aminomethyl and C9a-Hydroxy Analogues of Vorapaxar
摘要:
We have synthesized several C-7-aminomethyl analogues of vorapaxar that are potent PAR-1 antagonists. Many of these analogues showed excellent in vitro binding affinity and pharmacokinetics profile in rats. Compound 6a from this series showed excellent PAR-1 activity (K-i = 5 nM). We have also synthesized a C-9a-hydroxy analogue of vorapaxar, which showed very good PAR-1 affinity (K-i = 19.5 nM) along with excellent rat pharmacokinetic profile and ex vivo efficacy in the cynomolgus monkey.
