Discovery of potent liver-selective stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) inhibitors, thiazole-4-acetic acid derivatives, for the treatment of diabetes, hepatic steatosis, and obesity
摘要:
SCD1 is a rate-limiting enzyme in the conversion of saturated fatty acids to monounsaturated fatty acids. SCD1 inhibitors have potential effects on obesity, diabetes, acne, and cancer, but the adverse effects associated with SCD1 inhibition in the skin and eyelids are impediments to clinical development. To avoid mechanism-based adverse effects, we explored the compounds that selectively inhibit SCD1 in the liver in an ex vivo assay. Starting from a systemically active lead compound, we focused on the physicochemical properties tPSA and cLogP to minimize exposure in the off-target tissues. This effort led to the discovery of thiazole-4-acetic acid analog 48 as a potent and liver-selective SCD1 inhibitor. Compound 48 exhibited significant effects in rodent models of diabetes, hepatic steatosis, and obesity, with sufficient safety margins in a rat toxicology study with repeated dosing.

A new heteroannulation method to 2-cyclohexenone, mediated by phosphonate auxiliaries. Synthesis of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole derivatives
摘要:
Dimethyl (1,2-epoxy-3-oxocyclohex-1-yl)phosphonate 7, easily available from 2-cyclohexen-1-one, affords the new (tetrahydrobenzothiazolyl)phosphonates 10 upon reaction with thiocarboxamides 8. This cyclocondensation proceeds with regioselective conjunction of the bis-nucleophile 8 to carbonyl group and adjacent oxirane carbon of the epoxide precursor. On treatment with alkali the 5,6-dihydro-7(4H)benzothiazolones 12 are obtained from compounds 10, or from the intermediately formed bicyclic dihydroxy derivatives 9. Reaction of the corresponding cyclopentylphosphonate 14 with thiobenzamide (8b) yields the cyclopentathiazole derivative 15 as a single isomer, the dihydro-thiazole moiety being now annulated regio- and cis-stereoselectively to both oxirane carbons of the epoxyphosphonate.
