Abstract
GSK2798745, an antagonist of the transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) ion channel, was recently investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of cardiac and respiratory diseases. Human plasma and urine samples collected from healthy volunteers following oral administration were analyzed to identify circulating and excreted metabolites of the parent drug. One major circulating metabolite (1) was found in pooled human plasma samples, accounting for approximately half of the observed drug-related material. Isolation of metabolite 1 from urine samples followed by MS and NMR studies led to a putative structural assignment of 1 where hydroxylation of GSK2798745 occurred on the central ring, producing a penta-substituted cyclohexane structure containing three stereocenters. Two unique chemical syntheses of the proposed structure were developed to confirm the identity of metabolite 1 and provide access to gram quantities for biological characterization.

Abstract
Investigation of TRPV4 as a potential target for the treatment of pulmonary edema associated with heart failure generated a novel series of acyclic amine inhibitors displaying exceptional potency and PK properties. The series arose through a scaffold hopping approach, which relied on use of an internal H-bond to replace a saturated heterocyclic ring. Optimization of the lead through investigation of both aryl regions revealed approaches to increase potency through substituents believed to enhance separate intramolecular and intermolecular H-bond interactions. A proposed internal H-bond between the amine and neighboring benzenesulfonamide was stabilized by electronically modulating the benzenesulfonamide. In the aryl ether moiety, substituents para to the nitrile demonstrated an electronic effect on TRPV4 recognition. Finally, the acyclic amines inactivated CYP3A4 and this liability was addressed by modifications that sterically preclude formation of a putative metabolic intermediate complex to deliver advanced TRPV4 antagonists as leads for discovery of novel medicines.

Discovery of GSK3527497: A Candidate for the Inhibition of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid-4 (TRPV4). J Med Chem 2019; 62:9270-9280.

Abstract
GSK3527497, a preclinical candidate for the inhibition of TRPV4, was identified starting from the previously reported pyrrolidine sulfonamide TRPV4 inhibitors 1 and 2. Optimization of projected human dose was accomplished by specifically focusing on in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters CLu, Vdssu, and MRT. We highlight the use of conformational changes as a novel approach to modulate Vdssu and present results that suggest that molecular-shape-dependent binding to tissue components governs Vdssu in addition to bulk physicochemical properties. Optimization of CLu within the series was guided by in vitro metabolite identification, and the poor FaSSIF solubility imparted by the crystalline properties of the pyrrolidine diol scaffold was improved by the introduction of a charged moiety to enable excellent exposure from high crystalline doses. GSK3527497 is a preclinical candidate suitable for oral and iv administration that is projected to inhibit TRPV4 effectively in patients from a low daily clinical dose.

Isoform-selective phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibition ameliorates a broad range of fragile X syndrome-associated deficits in a mouse model. Neuropsychopharmacology 2019; 44:324-333. [PMID: 30061744 PMCID: PMC6300538 DOI: 10.1038/s41386-018-0150-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2018] [Revised: 06/07/2018] [Accepted: 07/01/2018] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Defects in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway are shared characteristics in several brain disorders, including the inherited intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder, fragile X syndrome (FXS). PI3K signaling therefore could serve as a therapeutic target for FXS and other brain disorders. However, broad inhibition of such a central signal transduction pathway involved in essential cellular functions may produce deleterious side effects. Pharmacological strategies that selectively correct the overactive components of the PI3K pathway while leaving other parts of the pathway intact may overcome these challenges. Here, we provide the first evidence that disease mechanism-based PI3K isoform-specific inhibition may be a viable treatment option for FXS. FXS is caused by loss of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), which translationally represses specific messenger RNAs, including the PI3K catalytic isoform p110β. FMRP deficiency increases p110β protein levels and activity in FXS mouse models and in cells from subjects with FXS. Here, we show that a novel, brain-permeable p110β-specific inhibitor, GSK2702926A, ameliorates FXS-associated phenotypes on molecular, cellular, behavioral, and cognitive levels in two different FMRP-deficient mouse models. Rescued phenotypes included increased PI3K downstream signaling, protein synthesis rates, and dendritic spine density, as well as impaired social interaction and higher-order cognition. Several p110β-selective inhibitors, for example, a molecule from the same chemotype as GSK2702926A, are currently being evaluated in clinical trials to treat cancer. Our results suggest that repurposing p110β inhibitors to treat cognitive and behavioral defects may be a promising disease-modifying strategy for FXS and other brain disorders.

Abstract
A series of novel [3a,4]dihydropyrazolo[1,5a]pyrimidines were identified, which were highly potent and selective inhibitors of PI3Kβ. The template afforded the opportunity to develop novel SAR for both the hinge-binding (R3) and back-pocket (R4) substitutents. While cellular potency was relatively modest due to high protein binding, the series displayed low clearance in rat, mouse, and monkey.

Abstract
Abstract
Dysregulation of the PI3K pathway is one of the most common causes of tumorigenesis. Aberrant pathway activation occurs frequently through loss of the tumor suppressor protein, PTEN. Loss of PTEN protein has been observed in approximately 40% of glioblastoma, 50% of prostate, 57% of endometrial cancers, as well as in a number of other tumor types, including melanoma and breast cancers. Preclinical studies have shown that selective depletion of the PI3Kα isoform inhibits tumorigenesis and reduces downstream PI3K signaling in PTEN deficient tumors. This data presents an opportunity for a clear patient selection strategy based on the presence or absence of PTEN. During an extensive knowledge-based lead identification and optimization effort starting from the reported PI3K beta-selective compound TGX-221, we identified several unique series of potent and selective inhibitors with less than desirable pharmacokinetic properties. Through a combination of structure-based and knowledge-based design, we ultimately identified substituted benzimidazole GSK2636771 as a potent, orally bioavailable, PI3K beta-selective inhibitor. The evolution of our selective inhibitors, leading to the discovery, design, and optimization of GSK2636771 and related analogs, will be described.

Abstract
Virtual screening of the corporate compound collection yielded compound 1 as a subtype selective muscarinic M1 receptor agonist hit. Initial optimization of the N-capping group of the central piperidine ring resulted in compounds 2 and 3 with significantly improved potency and selectivity. Subsequent optimization of substituents on the phenyl ring of the benzimidazolone moiety led to the discovery of novel muscarinic M1 receptor agonists 4 and 5 with excellent potency, general and subtype selectivity, and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties including good central nervous system (CNS) penetration and oral bioavailability. Compound 5 showed robust in vivo activities in animal models of cognition enhancement. The combination of high potency, excellent selectivity, and good PK properties makes compounds 4 and 5 valuable tool compounds for investigating and validating potential therapeutic benefits resulting from selective M1 activation.

Abstract
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4) modulates physiological functions such as feeding behavior, nerve regeneration, and drug addiction. Using a high throughput screen based on (125)I-NDP-MSH binding to the human MC4 receptor, we discovered 2,3-diaryl-5-anilino[1,2,4]thiadiazoles 3 as potent and selective MC4 receptor agonists. Through SAR development on the three attached aryl rings, we improved the binding affinity from 174 nM to 4.4 nM IC(50). When delivered intraperitoneally, compounds 3a, 3b, and 3c induced significant inhibition of food intake in a fasting-induced feeding model in rats. When delivered orally, these compounds lost activity, mainly due to rapid metabolism to inactive imidoylthiourea reduction products.

Abstract
The preparation of novel pyridyl ethers as ligands for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is described. Variations of the ring size of the azacycle and substitution on the pyridine had dramatic effects on receptor binding affinity with IC50s at the alpha4beta2 nAChR ranging from 22 to >10,000 nM. The most potent molecule was (R)-2-chloro-3-(4-cyanophenyl)-5-((3-pyrrolidinyl)oxy)pyridine 27f with an IC50 of 22 nM.

Abstract
A simple and efficient synthesis of novel 14-membered macrocycles from a resin-bound orthogonally protected lysine residue is described. Reductive alkylation of the lysine alpha-nitrogen introduces the first diversity element. Acylation of the resultant secondary amine with an Fmoc-amino acid introduces the second diversity element providing a resin-bound protected di-peptide precursor. Removal of the Fmoc-group is followed by acylation with a succinic anhydride to introduce the final diversity elements. Removal of the methyltrityl-group from the amino group followed by macrocyclization provides the desired macrocycles, after TFA cleavage, in excellent yield and purity.

Abstract
The preparation of 3,4,5-substituted 8-carboxamido-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones using a solid-phase synthetic method is described. 4-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid is tethered to a solid support via the acid group. Aromatic substitution of the aryl fluoride with either an alpha- or beta-substituted beta-amino ester is carried out in the presence of DIEA in DMF. The reduction of the aryl nitro group is accomplished in the presence of SnCl(2).H(2)O. Hydrolysis of the ester is carried out in the presence of a heterogeneous mixture of 1 N NaOH/THF (1:1). The resulting aniline acid is cyclized to form the benzodiazepinone skeleton with DIC and HOBt. Selective alkylation at the N-5 position of the benzodiazepinone is accomplished with alkyl halides in the presence of K(2)CO(3) in acetone. The desired products are cleaved from solid supports and obtained in 46-98% isolated yields.

Abstract
Two nonpeptide ligands that differ chemically by only a single methyl group but have agonistic (L-162,782) and antagonistic (L-162,389) properties in vivo were characterized on the cloned angiotensin AT1 receptor. Both compounds bound with high affinity (K(I) = 8 and 28 nM, respectively) to the AT1 receptor expressed transiently in COS-7 cells as determined in radioligand competition assays. L-162,782 acted as a powerful partial agonist, stimulating phosphatidylinositol turnover with a bell-shaped dose-response curve to 64% of the maximal level reached in response to angiotensin II. Surprisingly, L-162,389 also stimulated phosphatidylinositol turnover, albeit only to a small percentage of the angiotensin response. The prototype nonpeptide AT1 agonist L-162,313 gave a response of approximately 50%. The apparent EC50 values for all three compounds in stimulating phosphatidylinositol turnover were similar, approximately 30 nM, corresponding to their binding affinity. Each of the three compounds also acted as angiotensin antagonists, yet in this capacity the compounds differed markedly, with IC50 values ranging from 1.05 x 10(-7) M for L-162,389 to 6.5 x 10(-6) for L-162,782. A series of point mutations in the transmembrane segments (TMs) of the AT1 receptor had only minor effect on the binding affinity of the nonpeptide compounds, with the exception of A104V at the top of TM III, which selectively impaired the binding of L-162,782 and L-162,389. Substitutions in the middle of TM III, VI, or VII, which did not affect the binding affinity of the compounds, impaired or eliminated the agonistic efficacy of the nonpeptides but with only minor or no effect on the angiotensin potency or efficacy. Thus, in the N295D rat AT1 construct, L-162,782, L-162,313, and L-162,389 all antagonized the angiotensin-induced phosphatidylinositol turnover with surprisingly similar IC50 values (90-180 nM), and they all bound with unaltered, high affinity (22-36 nM). However, L-162,313 and L-162,782 could stimulate phosphatidylinositol turnover to only 20% of that of angiotensin. It is concluded that minor chemical modifications of either the compound or the receptor can dramatically alter the agonistic efficacy of biphenyl imidazole compounds on the AT1 receptor without affecting their affinity, as determined in binding assays, and that a number of substitutions in the middle of the TM segments affect the efficacy of nonpeptide agonists as opposed to angiotensin.

Abstract
L-162,313 (5,7-dimethyl-2-ethyl-3-[[4-[2(n- butyloxycarbonylsulfonamido)-5-isobutyl-3-thienyl]phenyl]methyl]- imadazo[4,5-b]pyridine) is a nonpeptide that mimics the biological actions of angiotensin II (ANG II). The intravenous administration of L-162,313 increased blood pressure in the rat. The maximum increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP) was not different from the maximum response to ANG II in the same preparation. However, the duration of the pressor response after L-162,313 greatly exceeded that of ANG II. Pretreatment with ANG II receptor antagonists, L-158,809 (AT1 selective) or saralasin, blocked the L-162,313-induced increase in MAP. Enalaprilat, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, failed to block the MAP response to L-162,313. In vitro, L-162,313-activated phosphoinositide turnover in rat aortic smooth muscle cell cultures was also blocked by L-158,809 and losartan (DuP-753). Therefore, L-162,313 is the first reported nonpeptide ANG II receptor agonist.

Abstract
Non-peptide ligands for peptide receptors for the G-protein-coupled type are generally antagonists, except in the opiate system. Recently, it was observed that a subset of biphenylimidazole derivatives surprisingly possessed angiotensin-like activity in vivo. In COS-7 cells transfected with the rat AT1 receptor a prototype of these compounds, L-162,313 stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis with an EC50 of 33 +/- 11 nM. The maximal response to the compound was 50% of that of angiotensin II in COS-7 cells but only 3% in stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells. The agonistic effect of L-162,313 was blocked by the AT1-specific antagonist L-158,809 and was not observed in untransfected cells. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, L-162,313 also acted as an insurmountable antagonist of the angiotensin stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis. In contrast to previously tested non-peptide ligands, L-162,313 bound with reasonably high affinity to the Xenopus laevis AT1 receptor. In the human receptor, the binding of L-162,313 was found to be unaffected by point mutations in transmembrane segments III and VII, which impaired the binding of biphenylimidazole antagonists. Substitutions in the extracellular domains of the human and rat receptor, which impaired the binding of angiotensin II, did not affect the binding of L-162,313. It is concluded that a subset of biphenylimidazole compounds can act as high affinity partial agonists on the AT1 receptor. These compounds have molecular interactions with the receptor which appear to differ both from that of the structurally similar non-peptide antagonists and from that of their functional counterpart, the peptide agonist.
