A series of caspase inhibitorscontaining γ-amino acid moiety have been synthesized. A systemic study on their structure-activityrelationship of anti-apoptotic cellular activity is presented. These efforts led to the discovery of compound 20o as a potent caspase inhibitor, which demonstrated preclinical ameliorating total bilirubin efficacy with a significantly improved pharmacokinetic profile.
Discovery of <i>N</i>-((1-(4-(3-(3-((6,7-Dimethoxyquinolin-3-yl)oxy)phenyl)ureido)-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)piperidin-4-yl)methyl)propionamide (CHMFL-KIT-8140) as a Highly Potent Type II Inhibitor Capable of Inhibiting the T670I “Gatekeeper” Mutant of cKIT Kinase
cKIT kinase inhibitors, e.g., imatinib, could induce drug-acquired mutations such as cKIT T670I that rendered drug resistance after chronic treatment. Through a type II kinase inhibitor design approach we discovered a highly potent type II cKIT kinase inhibitor compound 35 (CHMFL-KIT-8140), which potently inhibited both cKIT wt (IC50 = 33 nM) and cKIT gatekeeper T670I mutant (IC50 = 99 nM). Compound
Chemokine receptor antagonists, in particular, 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.0]octane compounds according to formula (I) are antagonists of chemokine CCR5 receptors which are useful for treating or preventing an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or treating AIDS or ARC. The invention further provides methods for treating diseases that are allieviated with CCR5 antagonists. The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using the compounds for the treatment of these diseases. The invention further includes processes for the preparation of compounds according to formula I.
