Optimizing the Physicochemical Properties of Raf/MEK Inhibitors by Nitrogen Scanning
摘要:
Substituting a carbon atom with a nitrogen atom (nitrogen substitution) on an aromatic ring in our leads 1 la and 13g by applying nitrogen scanning afforded a set of compounds that improved not only the solubility but also the metabolic stability. The impact after nitrogen substitution on interactions between a derivative and its on- and off-target proteins (Raf/MEK, CYPs, and hERG channel) was also detected, most of them contributing to weaker interactions. After identifying the positions that kept inhibitory activity on HCT116 cell growth and Raf/MEK, compound I (CH5126766/RO5126766) was selected as a clinical compound. A phase I clinical trial is ongoing for solid cancers.
