We evaluated the in vitro pharmacology as well as the absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) properties of chemical entities that not only were shown to be highly selective agonists for ERR gamma but also exhibited enhanced pharmacokinetic profile compared with 3 (GSK5182). 6g and 10b had comparable potency to 3 and were far more selective for ERR gamma over the ERR alpha, -beta, and ER alpha. The in vivo pharmacokinetic profiles of 6g and 10b were further evaluated, as they possessed superior in vitro ADMET profiles compared to the other compounds. Additionally, we observed a significant increase of fully glycosylated NIS protein, key protein for radioiodine therapy in anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), in 6g- or 10b treated CAL62 cells, which indicated that these compounds could be promising enhancers for restoring NIS protein function in ATC cells. Thus, 6g and 10b-possess advantageous druglike properties and can be used to potentially treat various ERR gamma-related disorders.
