RESUMO
BACKGROUND: RelabotulinumtoxinA (RelaBoNT-A, Galderma, Uppsala, Sweden) is an innovative, ready-to-use liquid botulinum toxin A, produced using PEARLTM manufacturing technology that yields a potent, complex-free formulation. OBJECTIVES: The READY-1 study examined efficacy and safety outcomes following a single RelaBoNT-A treatment for glabellar line correction. METHODS: Adults with moderate-to-severe glabellar lines received RelaBoNT-A (50 U) or placebo in a 3:1 randomized, 6-month, Phase 3, multicenter, double-blind study. Primary endpoints (examined at Month 1, maximum frown) comprised the composite ≥2-grade response, defined as ≥2-grades' improvement from baseline on concurrent investigator (GL-ILA) and subject (GL-SLA) severity scales (US endpoint), and the investigator-reported responder rate for subjects scored as 0 (none) or 1 (mild) (GL-ILA scale only; EU endpoint). Subject satisfaction and treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported. RESULTS: Overall, 297 adults were randomized and treated. Month 1 composite ≥2-grade responder rate was 82.9% (RelaBoNT-A, N=199) versus 0% (placebo, N=67; p<0.001). Month 1 investigator-reported none-or-mild responder rate was 96.3% (RelaBoNT-A) versus 4.5% (placebo; p<0.001). GL-ILA scores (none-or-mild; ≥1-grade improvement) remained higher with RelaBoNT-A (23.6%; 58.1%) versus placebo (1.5%; 10.4%) through Month 6 (p<0.001). In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, 75% still showed GL-ILA and GL-SLA improvements from baseline at 169 days (end-of-study). Subjects reported onset of effect from Day 1 (39%) and satisfaction with natural-looking results (96.8%; Month 1). RelaBoNT-A-related TEAEs were low (3.6%) and typically mild. CONCLUSIONS: A single RelaBoNT-A treatment was effective and demonstrated a favorable safety profile. RelaBoNT-A provided significant improvements in glabellar line severity, high satisfaction, rapid onset, and enduring effectiveness throughout the 6-month study period.
RESUMO
Small molecule inhibitors of adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein (A-FABP) have gained renewed interest following the recent publication of pharmacologically beneficial effects of such inhibitors. Despite the potential utility of selective A-FABP inhibitors within the fields of metabolic disease, inflammation and atherosclerosis, there are few examples of useful A-FABP inhibitors in the public domain. Herein, we describe the optimization of N-benzyl-tetrahydrocarbazole derivatives through the use of co-crystal structure guided medicinal chemistry efforts. This led to the identification of a potent and selective class of A-FABP inhibitors as illustrated by N-benzyl-hexahydrocyclohepta[b]indole 30.

The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel human A-FABP inhibitors based on the 6-(trifluoromethyl)pyrimidine-4(1H)-one scaffold is described. Two series of compounds, bearing either an amino or carbon substituent in the 2-position of the pyrimidine ring were investigated. Modification of substituents and chain length optimization led to novel compounds with low micromolar activity and good selectivity for human A-FABP.

Low micromolar human A-FABP inhibitors were found by utilizing a fluorescence polarization assay, X-ray crystallography and modeling. The carbazole- and indole-based inhibitors displayed approximately 10-fold preferences over human H-FABP and E-FABP, and are highly selective against I-FABP. This communication describes the SAR for drug-like synthetic inhibitors of human A-FABP.
