Structural modifications of a 3-methoxy-2-aminopyridine compound to reduce potential for mutagenicity and time-dependent drug–drug interaction
摘要:
(S)-1-((4-(3-(6-Amino-5-methoxypyridin-3-yl)-1-isopropyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrimidin-2-yl)amino)propan-2-ol, 1, was recently identified as a potent inhibitor of the oncogenic kinase bRAF. Compounds containing 3-methoxy-2-aminopyridine, as in 1, comprised a promising lead series because of their high ligand efficiency and excellent ADME profile. However, following metabolic oxidation, compounds in this series also demonstrated two significant safety risks: mutagenic potential and time-dependent drug-drug interaction (TDI). Metabolite identification studies revealed formation of a reactive metabolite. We hypothesized that minimizing or blocking the formation of such a metabolite would mitigate the safety liabilities. Our investigation demonstrated that structural modifications which either reduced the electron density of the 3-methoxy-2-aminopyridine ring or blocked the reactive site following metabolic oxidation were successful in reducing TDI and AMES mutagenicity.
