The discovery of the benzhydroxamate MEK inhibitors CI-1040 and PD 0325901
摘要:
A novel series of benzhydroxamate esters derived from their precursor anthranilic acids have been prepared and have been identified as potent MEK inhibitors. 2-(2-Chloro-4-iodo-phenylamino)-N-cyclopropylmethoxy-3,4-difluoro-benzamide, CI-1040, was the first MEK inhibitor to demonstrate in vivo activity in preclinical animal models and subsequently became the first MEK inhibitor to enter clinical trial. CI-1040 suffered however from poor exposure due to its poor solubility and rapid clearance, and as a result, development of the compound was terminated. Optimization of the diphenylamine core and modi. cation of the hydroxamate side chain for cell potency, solubility, and exposure with oral delivery resulted in the discovery of the clinical candidate N-(2,3-dihydroxy-propoxy)-3,4-difluoro-2-(2-fluoro-4-iodophenylamino)benzamide PD 0325901.

Efficient and scalable Cu(II)‐mediated enol esterification methodology of carboxylicacids from alkenyl boroxines and boronic acids is presented. The reaction shows a wide scope in aliphatic and aromatic carboxylicacids in combination with several alkenyl boroxines. In the case of 2‐substituted alkenyl boroxines the double bond configuration was fully retained in the enol ester product. Also N‐hydroxyimides
O-Cyclopropyl hydroxylamines, now accessible via a novel and scalable synthetic route, have been demonstrated to be bench-stable and practicalprecursors for the synthesis of N-heterocycles via a di-heteroatom [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. In order to study the reactivity of these compounds in depth, a robust synthesis of both ring-substituted and ring-unsubstituted O-cyclopropyl hydroxylamines has
