Synthesis and Structure−Activity Relationships of 1-Arylmethyl-5-aryl-6-methyluracils as Potent Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Receptor Antagonists
摘要:
Based on the SAR from bicyclic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists such as 6-aminomethyl-7-aryl-pyrrolo[1,2-alpha]pyrimid-4-ones (5) and 2-aryl-3-aminomethyl-imidazolo[1,2-alpha]pyrimid-5-ones (6a,b), a series of novel uracil compounds (8) were derived as GnRH antagonists. The synthesis and SAR studies of 6-methyluracils as human GnRH receptor antagonists are discussed herein. Introduction of a small methyl substituent at the beta-position of the N3 side-chain improved the GnRH binding potency by 5-10-fold. Introduction of a methyl group of (R)-configuration at the alpha-carbon of the N-3 side-chain gave a modest improvement in binding affinity over the unsubstituted ethylene analogues. This modification enabled us to make uracil compounds without the labile 2-pyridylethyl motif on the basic nitrogen while still maintained excellent potency against the hGnRH receptor.

The synthesis of a series of (R)-3-[2-(2-amino)phenethyl]-1-(2,6-difluorobenzyl)-6-methyluracils containing a substituted thiophene or thiazole at C-5 is described. SAR around C-5 of the uracil led to the discovery that a 2-thienyl or (2-phenyl)thiazol-4-yl group is required for optimal receptor binding. The best compound from the series had a binding affinity of 2 nM (K(i)) for the human GnRH receptor

The novel synthesis and SAR studies of 6-methyluracils as human GnRH receptorantagonists are discussed. Introduction of a small methyl substituent at the beta-position from N3 of the uracil improved the GnRH binding potency by 5- to 10-fold. The best compound from the series had binding affinity of 5 nM (K(i)) to the human GnRH receptor.

The discovery of novel uracil phenylethylamines bearing a butyric acid as potent human gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (hGnRH-R) antagonists is described. A major focus of this optimization was to improve the CYP3A4 inhibition liability of these uracils while maintaining their GnRH-R potency. R-4-2-[5-(2-Fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-(2-fluoro-6-[trifluoromethyl]benzyl)-4-methyl-2,6-dioxo-3,6-dihydro-2H-pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-phenylethylamino}butyric acid sodium salt, 10b (elagolix), was identified as a potent and selective hGnRH-R antagonist. Oral administration of 10b suppressed luteinizing hormone in castrated macaques. These efforts led to the identification of 10b as a clinical compound for the treatment of endometriosis.

Optimization of a series of uracils bearing a 2-fluoro-or 2-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl group at the 5-position resulted in compounds such as 3d and 3f with subnanomolar binding affinity at the human GnRH receptor. While the 2-fluoro-3-methoxyphenyl compound 3a was characterized as a mixture of interchangeable atropisomers, the diastereoisomers of 2-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl analogs were separated. It was found that the aR-atropisomer was much more potent than the aS-isomer based on the X-ray crystal structure of 3h-II. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
