Design and Optimization of an Acyclic Amine Series of TRPV4 Antagonists by Electronic Modulation of Hydrogen Bond Interactions
JOURNAL OF MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY(2020)
摘要
Investigation of TRPV4 as a potential target for the treatment of pulmonary edema associated with heart failure generated a novel series of acyclic amine inhibitors displaying exceptional potency and PK properties. The series arose through a scaffold hopping approach, which relied on use of an internal H-bond to replace a saturated heterocyclic ring. Optimization of the lead through investigation of both aryl regions revealed approaches to increase potency through substituents believed to enhance separate intramolecular and intermolecular H-bond interactions. A proposed internal H-bond between the amine and neighboring benzenesulfonamide was stabilized by electronically modulating the benzenesulfonamide. In the aryl ether moiety, substituents para to the nitrile demonstrated an electronic effect on TRPV4 recognition. Finally, the acyclic amines inactivated CYP3A4 and this liability was addressed by modifications that sterically preclude formation of a putative metabolic intermediate complex to deliver advanced TRPV4 antagonists as leads for discovery of novel medicines.
