Discovery of Tertiary Amine and Indole Derivatives as Potent RORγt Inverse Agonists
摘要:
A novel series of tertiary amines as retinoid-related orphan receptor gamma-t (ROR gamma t) inverse agonists was discovered through agonist/inverse agonist conversion. The level of ROR gamma t inhibition can be enhanced by modulating the conformational disruption of H12 in ROR gamma t LBD. Linker exploration and rational design led to the discovery of more potent indole-based ROR gamma t inverse agonists.

A novel series of biaryl amides was identified as ROR gamma t inhibitors through core replacement of a starting hit 1. Structure activity relationship exploration on the biaryl moiety led to discovery of potent ROR gamma t inhibitors with good oral bioavailability and CNS penetration. Compounds 9a and 9g demonstrated excellent in vivo efficacy in EAE mice dose dependently with once daily oral administration.
