Novel 11β-HSD1 inhibitors: C-1 versus C-2 substitution and effect of the introduction of an oxygen atom in the adamantane scaffold
摘要:
The adamantane scaffold is found in several marketed drugs and in many investigational 11 beta-HSD1 inhibitors. Interestingly, all the clinically approved adamantane derivatives are C-1 substituted. We demonstrate that, in a series of paired adamantane isomers, substitution of the adamantane in C-2 is preferred over the substitution at C-1 and is necessary for potency at human 11 beta-HSD1. Furthermore, the introduction of an oxygen atom in the hydrocarbon scaffold of adamantane is deleterious to 11 beta-HSD1 inhibition. Molecular modeling studies provide a basis to rationalize these features. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
