RESUMO
Herein, we report the optimization of a meta-substituted series of selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) antagonists for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer. Structure-based design together with the use of modeling and NMR to favor the bioactive conformation led to a highly potent series of basic SERDs with promising physicochemical properties. Issues with hERG activity resulted in a strategy of zwitterion formation and ultimately in the identification of 38. This compound was shown to be a highly potent SERD capable of effectively degrading ERα in both MCF-7 and CAMA-1 cell lines. The low lipophilicity and zwitterionic nature led to a SERD with a clean secondary pharmacology profile and no hERG activity. Favorable physicochemical properties resulted in good oral bioavailability in preclinical species and potent in vivo activity in a mouse xenograft model.

In this report, we describe a new photoredox catalyzed 1,4-conjugate addition of N-substituted acetic acids to electron-deficient olefins via decarboxylative C-C bond formation. This C-C bond formation occurred under mild conditions enabled by visible light irradiation. This transformation facilitated the synthesis of biologically relevant N-substituted heterocyclic structural motifs not readily accessible by other methods. The C-C bond formation protocol was applied to weakly nucleophilic heterocycles such as indoles, indazoles, imidazoles, and cyclic amides to form functionalized drug-like small molecule.

Herein we describe our efforts using a late stage functionalization together with more traditional synthetic approaches to generate fluorinated analogues of the clinical candidate AZD9833. The effects of the addition of fluorine on the lipophilicity, permeability, and metabolism are discussed. Many of these changes were tolerated in terms of pharmacology and resulted in high quality molecules which reached advanced stages of profiling in the testing cascade.
RESUMO
Herein we report the optimization of a series of tricyclic indazoles as selective estrogen receptor degraders (SERD) and antagonists for the treatment of ER+ breast cancer. Structure based design together with systematic investigation of each region of the molecular architecture led to the identification of N-[1-(3-fluoropropyl)azetidin-3-yl]-6-[(6S,8R)-8-methyl-7-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-3H-pyrazolo[4,3-f]isoquinolin-6-yl]pyridin-3-amine (28). This compound was demonstrated to be a highly potent SERD that showed a pharmacological profile comparable to fulvestrant in its ability to degrade ERα in both MCF-7 and CAMA-1 cell lines. A stringent control of lipophilicity ensured that 28 had favorable physicochemical and preclinical pharmacokinetic properties for oral administration. This, combined with demonstration of potent in vivo activity in mouse xenograft models, resulted in progression of this compound, also known as AZD9833, into clinical trials.

To identify new agents for the treatment of multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we focused on siderophore-conjugated monocarbams. This class of monocyclic ß-lactams are stable to metallo-ß-lactamases and have excellent P. aeruginosa activities due to their ability to exploit the iron uptake machinery of Gram-negative bacteria. Our medicinal chemistry plan focused on identifying a molecule with optimal potency and physical properties and activity for in vivo efficacy. Modifications to the monocarbam linker, siderophore, and oxime portion of the molecules were examined. Through these efforts, a series of pyrrolidinone-based monocarbams with good P. aeruginosa cellular activity (P. aeruginosa MIC90 = 2 µg/mL), free fraction levels (>20% free), and hydrolytic stability (t1/2 ≥ 100 h) were identified. To differentiate the lead compounds and enable prioritization for in vivo studies, we applied a semi-mechanistic pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model to enable prediction of in vivo efficacy from in vitro data.

Three synthetic routes towards a novel estrogen receptor ligand template based on a rigid bicyclo-[3.3.1]-nonene core have been investigated. The prototype compound exhibits potent binding at the ERbeta receptor and promising estrogen receptor subtype selectivity.

Inhibitors of the MAP kinase p38 provide a novel approach for the treatment of osteoporosis, inflammatory disorders, and cancer. We have identified N-(3-tert-butyl-1-methyl-5-pyrazolyl)-N'-(4-(4-pyridinylmethyl)phenyl)urea as a potent and selective p38 kinase inhibitor in biochemical and cellular assays. This compound is orally active in two acute models of cytokine release (TNF-induced IL-6 and LPS-induced TNF) and a chronic model of arthritis (20-day murine collagen-induced arthritis).
