Discovery of novel 2-[(4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyridine-5-carbonyl)amino]acetic acid derivatives as HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors for treatment of renal anemia.
Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters(2018)
Abstract
Prolyl hydroxylase domain-containing protein (PHD) inhibitors are useful as orally administered agents for the treatment of renal anemia. Based on the common structures of known PHD inhibitors, we found novel PHD inhibitor 1 with a 2-[(4-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyridine-5-carbonyl)amino]acetic acid motif. The PHD2-inhibitory activity, lipophilicity (CLogP), and PK profiles (hepatocyte metabolism, protein binding, and/or elimination half-life) of this inhibitor were used as the evaluation index to optimize the structure and eventually discovered clinical candidate 42 as the suitable compound. Compound 42 was demonstrated to promote the production of erythropoietin (EPO) following oral administration in mice and rats. The predicted half-life of this compound in humans was 1.3–5.6 h, therefore, this drug may be expected to administer once daily with few adverse effects caused by excessive EPO production.
