Discovery of omecamtiv mecarbil the first, selective, small molecule activator of cardiac Myosin.
ACS medicinal chemistry letters(2010)
Abstract
We report the design, synthesis, and optimization of the first, selective activators of cardiac myosin. Starting with a poorly soluble, nitro-aromatic hit compound (1), potent, selective, and soluble myosin activators were designed culminating in the discovery of omecamtiv mecarbil (24). Compound 24 is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of systolic heart failure.
