Hit-to-lead evaluation of a novel class of sphingosine 1-phosphate lyase inhibitors
摘要:
Inhibition of sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase has recently been proposed as a potential treatment option for inflammatory disorders such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. In this report we describe our hit-to-lead evaluation of the isoxazolecarboxamide 6, a high-throughput screening hit (in vitro IC50 = 1.0 mu M, cell IC50 = 1.8 mu M), as a novel S1P lyase inhibitor. We were able to establish basic structure-activity relationships around 6 and succeeded in obtaining X-ray structural information which enabled structure-based design. With the discovery of 28, enzyme activity was quickly improved to IC50 = 120 nM and cell potency to IC50 = 230 nM. The main liability in the established isoxazolecarboxamide hit series was determined to be metabolic stability. In particular we identified that future lead-optimization efforts to overcome this problem should focus on blocking the N-dealkylation on the secondary amine. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

This report describes the syntheses and structure-activity relationships of 8-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]-1,3,5-triazine corticotropin releasing factor receptor-1 (CRF1) receptor antagonists. CRF1 receptor antagonists may be potential anxiolytic or antidepressant drugs. This research culminated in the discovery of analogue 12-3. which is a potent, selective CRF1 antagonist (hCRF(1) IC50 = 4.7 +/- 2.0 nM) with weak affinity for the CRF-binding protein and biogenic amine receptors. This compound also has a good pharmacokinetic profile in dogs. Analogue 12-3 is orally effective in two rat models of anxiety: the defensive withdrawal (situational anxiety) model and the elevated plus maze test. Analogue 12-3 has been advanced to clinical trials.
