RESUMO
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid mediator that elicits a number of biological functions, including smooth muscle contraction, cell motility, proliferation, and morphological change. LPA is endogenously produced by autotaxin (ATX) from extracellular lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in plasma. Herein, we report our medicinal chemistry effort to identify a novel and highly potent ATX inhibitor, ONO-8430506 (20), with good oral availability. To enhance the enzymatic ATX inhibitory activity, we designed several compounds by structurally comparing our hit compound with the endogenous ligand LPC. Further optimization to improve the pharmacokinetic profile and enhance the ATX inhibitory activity in human plasma resulted in the identification of ONO-8430506 (20), which enhanced the antitumor effect of paclitaxel in a breast cancer model.
RESUMO
An orally active dual CysLT1 and CysLT2 antagonist possessing a distinctive structure which consists of triple bond and dicarboxylic acid moieties is described. Gemilukast (ONO-6950) was generated via isomerization of the core indole and the incorporation of a triple bond into a lead compound. Gemilukast exhibited antagonist activities with IC50 values of 1.7 and 25 nM against human CysLT1 and human CysLT2, respectively, and potent efficacy at an oral dose of 0.1 mg/kg given 24 h before LTD4 challenge in a CysLT1-dependent guinea pig asthmatic model. In addition, gemilukast dose-dependently reduced LTC4-induced bronchoconstriction in both CysLT1- and CysLT2-dependent guinea pig asthmatic models, and it reduced antigen-induced constriction of isolated human bronchi. Gemilukast is currently being evaluated in phase II trials for the treatment of asthma.

Based on the original spirodiketopiperazine design framework, further optimization of an orally available CCR5 antagonist was undertaken. Structural hybridization of the hydroxylated analog 4 derived from one of the oxidative metabolites and the new orally available non-hydroxylated benzoic acid analog 5 resulted in another potent orally available CCR5 antagonist 6a as a clinical candidate. Full details of a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study and ADME properties are presented.

Following the discovery that hydroxylated derivative 3 (Fig. 1) was one of the oxidative metabolites of the original lead 1, it was found that hydroxylated compound 4 possesses higher in vitro anti-HIV potency than the corresponding non-hydroxylated compound 2. Structural hybridation of 4 with the orally available analog 5 resulted in another orally-available spirodiketopiperazine CCR5 antagonist 6a that possesses more favorable pharmaceutical profile for use as a drug candidate.

Using the previously reported novel spirodiketopiperazine scaffold, the design and synthesis of orally available CCR5 antagonists was undertaken. Compounds possessing a carboxylic acid function in the appropriate position showed improved oral exposure (AUC) relative to the initial chemical leads without reduction in the antagonist activity. The optimized compound 40 was found to show potent anti-HIV activity. Full details of structure-activity relationship (SAR) study are presented.

Hydroxylated derivatives were designed and synthesized based on the information of oxidative metabolites. Compounds derived from beta-substituted (2R,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxypropionic acid showed improved inhibitory activities against the binding of MIP-1alpha to human CCR5, compared with the non-hydroxylated derivatives and the other isomers.

A series of 2-iminopiperidines fused to small-membered rings (Tables 1 and 2) were synthesised and biologically evaluated using an in vitro human nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibition assay. Fused bicyclic compounds 5-9 exhibited nearly the same potency as compound 1 in the hiNOS inhibition assay. Among these, the 1-methyl analogues 8 and 9 showed better isoform selectivity than their corresponding unsubstituted analogues 7 and 6, respectively. Compounds 5 and 6 were also evaluated by an in vivo NO accumulation assay in a mouse model. The discovery process of new chemical leads for an orally bioavailable inhibitor of human inducible NOS (iNOS) is reported. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study and chemistry of these compounds are also reported.

Further chemical modification of 2-iminopiperidines fused to cyclopropane rings was performed. Optically active isomers 2 and 13 were synthesized and their biological activity was evaluated. Compound 2 exhibited greater potency and more isoform selectivity than enantiomer 13 in the iNOS inhibition assay. One of the gem-chlorines on the fused cyclopropane moiety of 2 was eliminated to produce 3, which showed reduced potency for iNOS inhibition, as well as 4 with an increased potency. The isoform selectivity of 4 was also much higher than that of 3. This was also true for the corresponding methyl derivatives 6-9. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) study and computer aided docking study of the most optimized structure 4 with human iNOS will also be reported.

Dihydropyridin-2(1H)-imines and 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-azepin-2-imines were synthesized and biologically evaluated both in vitro and in vivo using a nitric oxide synthase inhibition assay. Compounds 1, 5, 6, 8-12 and 16 exhibited potent inhibition of iNOS. Among these, compounds 6, 7, 10, 11 and 16 showed 5- to 19-fold isoform selectivity. Compounds 1, 6, 10, 11 and 16 also showed potent inhibitory activity in the NOx accumulation assay in mice. Compounds 1 and 6 showed excellent bioavailability (BA) in rats when administered orally. Full details are presented here, including the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, the chemistry of these compounds, and the pharmacokinetic data and the computer-aided docking study of 10 with hiNOS.
