RESUMO
The discovery and optimization of a novel series of prolinol-derived GHSR agonists is described. This series emerged from a 11,520-member solid-phase library targeting the GPCR protein superfamily, and the rapid optimization of low micromolar hits into single-digit nanomolar leads can be attributed to the solid-phase synthesis of matrix libraries, which revealed multiple non-additive structure-activity relationships. In addition, the separation of potent diastereomers highlighted the influence of the alpha-methyl stereochemistry of the phenoxyacetamide sidechain on GHSR activity.

The first enantioselective synthesis of (D)-2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-5,5-difluoro-5-phenyl-pentanoic acid 3 was achieved. The incorporation of the titled compound into growth hormone secretagogue (GHS) compounds resulted in new analogs 10 and 16, both of which had significantly increased in vitro potency. The compound 10 also showed improved in vivo efficacy as well as pharmacokinetic properties in rat models.

The structure-activity relationship of the O-benzyl serine side chain was investigated based on the tetrazole-based growth hormone secretagogue BMS-317180 (2). The ortho position of the benzyl moiety was found to be favorable for introduction of substituents. A series of ortho-substituted compounds were synthesized with improved in-vitro and in-vivo activity. Among them, the biphenyl compound 2p shows twofold improvement in potency compared to its parent compound BMS-317180 (2).

A novel series of dihydro- and tetrahydrotriazolopyridazine-1,3-dione-based amino acid derivatives were identified as very potent motilin receptor agonists. Incorporating one additional phenylethyl glycinamide subunit to 1 (EC(50) = 660 nM) was found to improve in vitro potency approximately 3000-fold, resulting in compound 10 (EC(50) = 0.22 nM). The more potent enantiomer 11A has an EC(50) of 0.047 nM in the motilin receptor functional assay and a K(i) of 0.7 nM in the binding assay. In addition, compound 11A was shown to have a significantly reduced tendency to cause receptor desensitization as compared with the motilin receptor agonist ABT-229.

A novel class of Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHS), based on a tetrazole template, has been discovered. In vitro SAR and in vivo potency within this new class of GHS are described. The tetrazole 9q exhibits good oral bioavailability in rats and dogs as well as efficacy following an oral 10 mg/kg dose in dogs. Solution and solid phase protocols for the synthesis of tetrazole based GHS have been developed.
