Discovery Tactics To Mitigate Toxicity Risks Due to Reactive Metabolite Formation with 2-(2-Hydroxyaryl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one Derivatives, Potent Calcium-Sensing Receptor Antagonists and Clinical Candidate(s) for the Treatment of Osteoporosis
2010
The synthesis and structure−activity relationship studies on 5-trifluoromethylpyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones as antagonists of the human calcium receptor (CaSR) have been recently disclosed [Didiuk et al. (2009) Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 19, 4555−4559). On the basis of its pharmacology and disposition attributes, (R)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(1-phenylpropan-2-yl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (1) was considered for rapid advancement to first-in-human (FIH) trials to mitigate uncertainty surrounding the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) predictions for a short-acting bone anabolic agent. During the course of metabolic profiling, however, glutathione (GSH) conjugates of 1 were detected in human liver microsomes in an NADPH-dependent fashion. Characterization of the GSH conjugate structures allowed insight(s) into the bioactivation pathway, which involved CYP3A4-mediated phenol ring oxidation to the catechol, followed by further oxidation to the electrophilic ortho-quinone species....
