Discovery of VTP-27999, an Alkyl Amine Renin Inhibitor with Potential for Clinical Utility
摘要:
Structure guided optimization of a series of nonpeptidic alkyl amine renin inhibitors allowed the rational incorporation of additional polar functionality. Replacement of the c-yclohexylmethyl group occupying the SI pocket with a (R)-(tetrahydropyran-3-yl)methyl group and utilization of a different attachment point led to the identification of clinical candidate 9. This compound demonstrated excellent selectivity over related and unrelated off-targets, >15% oral bioavailability in three species, oral efficacy in a double transgenic rat model of hypertension, and good exposure in humans.
Disclosed are aspartic protease inhibitors represented by the following structural formula: and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds are orally active and bind to aspartic proteases to inhibit their activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with aspartic protease activity. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound described herein or enantiomers, diastereomers, or salts thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient.
Diaminoalkanes of Formula I have now been found which are orally active and bind to aspartic proteases to inhibit their activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with elevated levels of aspartic protease activity. The invention also relates to a method for the use of the compounds of Formula I in ameliorating or treating aspartic protease related disorders in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of a compound of Formula I.
Described are compounds which are orally active and bind to renin to inhibit its activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with renin activity. Also described are methods of use of these compounds for treating or ameliorating a renin mediated disorder in a subject.
The present invention is directed to aspartic protease inhibitors. Certain aspartic protease inhibitors of the invention can be represented by the following structural formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors. The present invention is further directed to methods of antagonizing one or more aspartic proteases in a subject in need thereof, and methods for treating an aspartic protease mediated disorder in a subject using the disclosed aspartic protease inhibitors.
Described are compounds which are orally active and bind to renin to inhibit its activity. They are useful in the treatment or amelioration of diseases associated with renin activity. Also described are methods of use of these compounds for treating or ameliorating a renin mediated disorder in a subject.
