An Effective Prodrug Strategy to Selectively Enhance Ocular Exposure of a Cannabinoid Receptor (CB1/2) Agonist
摘要:
Glaucoma is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) a prominent risk factor. IOP can be efficaciously reduced by administration of topical agents. However, the repertoire of approved IOP-lowering drug classes is limited, and effective new alternatives are needed. Agonism of the cannabinoid receptor's CB1/2 significantly reduces IOP clinically and experimentally. However, development of CB1/2 agonists has been complicated by the need to avoid cardiovascular and psychotropic side effects. 1 is a potent CB1/2 agonist that is highly excluded from the brain. In a phase I study, compound 1 eyedrops were well tolerated and generated an IOP-lowering trend but were limited in dose and exposure due to poor soluhility and ocular absorption. Here we present an innovative strategy to rapidly identify compound 1 prodrugs that are efficiently metabolized to the parent compound for improved solubility and ocular permeability while maintaining low systemic exposures.

Structure-activity relationship optimization on a series of phenylpyrazole amides led to the identification of a dual ROCK1 and ROCK2 inhibitor (25) which demonstrated good potency, kinome selectivity and favorable pharmacokinetic profiles. Compound 25 was selected as a tool molecule for in vivo studies including evaluating hemodynamic effects in telemeterized mice, from which moderate decreases in

The (S)-2-chlorophenylglycine moiety is well recognized in the structure of (S)-clopidogrel, a known antithrombotic drug. We prepared an enantiomerically pure chiral building block via an enzyme-catalyzed resolution of (RS)-N-Boc-2-chlorophenylglycine methylester. The best results were obtained by means of an immobilized subtilisin, the cross-linked enzyme aggregate (Alcalase-CLEA (R)). The high enantiomeric excess of the synthon obtained remained the same over the course of clopidogrel synthesis; the simplicity of the process makes this pathway suitable for large-scale preparation.
