RESUMEN
Optimization of a previously reported lead series of PI3Kδ inhibitors with a novel binding mode led to the identification of a clinical candidate compound 31 (GSK251). Removal of an embedded Ames-positive heteroaromatic amine by reversing a sulfonamide followed by locating an interaction with Trp760 led to a highly selective compound 9. Further optimization to avoid glutathione trapping, to enhance potency and selectivity, and to optimize an oral pharmacokinetic profile led to the discovery of compound 31 (GSK215) that had a low predicted daily dose (45 mg, b.i.d) and a rat toxicity profile suitable for further development.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: GSK2982772 is an oral small-molecule RIPK1 inhibitor with potential therapeutic efficacy in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). An inter-ethnic comparison of GSK2982772 pharmacokinetics was conducted based on data from Western (Study 1) and Japanese subjects (Study 2). METHODS: Both studies were single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies with objectives to assess the safety and characterise the pharmacokinetics of GSK2982772. Western subjects in Study 1 (NCT03305419), Part A (N = 15), were randomly assigned to receive 120 mg three times daily (TID), 240 mg TID, or 360 mg twice daily (BID) doses of GSK2982772, or placebo (TID or BID) for 1 day. Part B subjects (N = 47) received GSK2982772 120 mg TID, 240 mg TID, or placebo TID for 14 days. Japanese subjects in Study 2 (N = 13) (NCT03590613) were randomly assigned to receive TID doses of GSK2982772 60, 120, 240 mg TID or placebo TID for 1 day. RESULTS: GSK2982772 was well tolerated and adverse events were generally mild. Maximum observed plasma drug concentration (Cmax), time to reach Cmax (Tmax), area under the plasma drug concentration versus time curve after the first GSK2982772 dose (AUC(0-7)) of 120 and 240 mg, and (AUC(0-24)) values for the 120 and 240 mg TID doses over a single day were similar in Japanese and Western subjects. CONCLUSIONS: The pharmacokinetics and tolerability of GSK2982772 were similar between Western and Japanese subjects, justifying inclusion of Japanese subjects in future global clinical studies to assess the therapeutic potential of RIPK1 inhibition for the treatment of IMIDs.
