Nidufexor (LMB763), a Novel FXR Modulator for the Treatment of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
摘要:
Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists are emerging as important potential therapeutics for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients, as they exert positive effects on multiple aspects of the disease. FXR agonists reduce lipid accumulation in the liver, hepatocellular inflammation, hepatic injury, and fibrosis. While there are currently no approved therapies for NASH, the bile acid-derived FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA; 6-ethyl chenodeoxycholic acid) has shown promise in clinical studies. Previously, we described the discovery of tropifexor (LJN452), the most potent non-bile acid FXR agonist currently in clinical investigation. Here, we report the discovery of a novel chemical series of non-bile acid FXR agonists based on a tricyclic dihydrochromenopyrazole core from which emerged nidufexor (LMB763), a compound with partial FXR agonistic activity in vitro and FXR-dependent gene modulation in vivo. Nidufexor has advanced to Phase 2 human clinical trials in patients with NASH and diabetic nephropathy.

Disclosed herein are methods for preparing tertiary alcohols from an optionally substituted phenyl ketone or an optionally substituted pyridinyl ketone that includes the use of a chiral ligand and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate. Tertiary alcohols can be used to prepare synthetic versions of natural products and/or pharmaceuticals.
A tin(IV) chloride assisted iodo-cyclization of 2-allylphenol gave 2-iodomethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran. A similar cyclization of 2-crotylphenol gave 3-iodo-2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyran, exclusively. By iodination with mercury(II) oxide-iodine reagent in dichloromethane, 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans or 3,4-dihydro-2H-benzopyrans including the above benzocyclic ethers were easily converted to the corresponding 5- or 6-iodo derivatives, regioselectively, in good yield.
in the crystalline state. The stereoselective photoreactions of these compounds in the solidstate are examined based on the crystal structures of the reactants and products. All the examples tested undergo photodimerization, except for (E)-3-benzylidene-6-fluorochroman-4-one. The reactants with β-structures give syn-head-to-head (syn-HH) products with high selectivity. Only (E)-6-chloro-3-(4-meth
