Discovery of 2-Arylbenzoxazoles as Upregulators of Utrophin Production for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
摘要:
A series of novel 2-arylbenzoxazoles that upregulate the production of utrophin in murine H2K cells, as assessed using a luciferase reporter linked assay, have been identified. This compound class appears to hold considerable promise as a potential treatment for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Following the delineation of structure-activity relationships in the series, a number of potent upregulators were identified, and preliminary ADME evaluation is described. These studies have resulted in the identification of 1, a compound that has been progressed to clinical trials.

series of new alkyl 1-[N-(2-chloro-5-nitro-phenyl)-benzimidoyl] thioureas 3a–h were prepared from benzamides 1a–c. Benzimidoyl thioureas 3a–e afforded 5-nitro-2-phenyl-benzothiazole 5a–c under basic conditions via thiourea–isothiourea rearrangement and SNAr. A mechanistic rationalization supported by the direct formation of benzothioamide 8 and bis-benzimidoyl sulfide 9 derivatives from the reaction
