The further optimization of a recently disclosed series of inverse agonists of the nuclear receptor RORC2 is described. Investigations into the left-hand side of compound 1, guided by X-ray crystal structures, led to the substitution of the 4-aryl-thiophenyl residue with the hexafluoro-2-phenyl-propan-2-ol moiety. This change resulted in to compound 28, which combined improved drug-like properties
描述了最近公开的核受体RORC2的反向激动剂系列的进一步优化。在X射线晶体结构的引导下,对化合物1左侧的研究导致将4-芳基-硫代苯基残基替换为六氟-2-苯基-丙-2-醇部分。这种变化产生了化合物28,该化合物将改善的类药物特性与良好的细胞效力和明显更低的剂量相结合,使用了早期剂量即可进行预测。口服给药后,小鼠胸腺中双阳性T细胞数量的减少证明了体内靶标的参与。
