Pyrazolylthiazole as ΔF508-Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Correctors with Improved Hydrophilicity Compared to Bithiazoles
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry(2010)
Abstract
Deletion of phenylalanine residue 508 (ΔF508) in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) is a major cause of CF. Small molecule ‘correctors’ of defective ΔF508-CFTR cellular processing hold promise for CF therapy. We previously identified and characterized bithiazole CF corrector 1 and s-cis-locked bithiazole 2. Herein, we report the regiodivergent synthesis of Nγ and Nβ isomers of thiazole-tethered pyrazoles with improved hydrophilicity compared to bithiazoles. We synthesized a focused library of fifty-four pyrazolylthiazoles 3, which included examples of both regioisomers 4 and 5. The thiazole-tethered pyrazoles allowed incorporation of property-modulating functionality on the pyrazole ring – ester, acid, and amide – while retaining ΔF508-CFTR corrector activity (EC50) of under 1 μM. The most active pyrazolylthiazole (14h) has an experimentally determined logP of 4.1, which is 1.2 log units lower than bithiazole CF corrector 1.
