Ataluren, also known as PTC124, is a 5-(fluorophenyI)-1,2,4-oxadiazolyl-benzoic acid suggested to suppress nonsense mutations by readthrough of premature stop codons in the mRNA. Potential interaction of PTC124 with mRNA has been recently studied by molecular dynamics simulations highlighting the importance of H-bonding and stacking pi-pi interactions. A series of non-acidic analogues of PTC124 were selected from a large database via a ligand-based virtual screening approach. Eight of them were synthesized and tested for their readthrough activity using the Fluc reporter harboring the UGA premature stop codon. The most active compound was further tested for suppression of the UGA nonsense mutation in the bronchial epithelial IB3.1 cell line carrying the W1282X mutation in the CFTR gene.

Herein, we report the development of an optimized microwave-assisted synthesis of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. The chemistry development process was significantly accelerated by employing a statistical software package (MODDE 6.0(TM)) to guide in the optimization of the reaction conditions. The resulting optimized reaction conditions were then utilized in the synthesis of a focused library of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
