Discovery of a Potent (4R,5S)-4-Fluoro-5-Methylproline Sulfonamide Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) Antagonist and its Methylene Phosphate Prodrug Guided By Molecular Modeling.
JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY(2018)
摘要
Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a non-selective cation channel expressed in sensory neurons where it functions as an irritant sensor for a plethora of electrophilic compounds and is implicated in pain, itch, and respiratory disease. To study its function in various disease contexts, we sought to identify novel, potent, and selective small-molecule TRPA1 antagonists. Herein we describe the evolution of an N-isopropylglycine sulfonamide lead (1) to a novel and potent (4R,SS)-4-fluoro-S-methylproline sulfonamide series of inhibitors. Molecular modeling was utilized to derive low-energy threedimensional conformations to guide ligand design. This effort led to compound 20, which possessed a balanced combination of potency and metabolic stability but poor solubility that ultimately limited in vivo exposure. To improve solubility and in vivo exposure, we developed methylene phosphate prodrug 22, which demonstrated superior oral exposure and robust in vivo target engagement in a rat model of AITC-induced pain.
