Pharmacokinetic benefits of 3,4-dimethoxy substitution of a phenyl ring and design of isosteres yielding orally available cathepsin K inhibitors.
2012
Rational structure-based design has yielded highly potent inhibitors of cathepsin K (Cat K) with excellent physical properties, selectivity profiles, and pharmacokinetics. Compounds with a 3,4-(CH3O)2Ph motif, such as 31, were found to have excellent metabolic stability and absorption profiles. Through metabolite identification studies, a reactive metabolite risk was identified with this motif. Subsequent structure-based design of isoteres culminated in the discovery of an optimized and balanced inhibitor (indazole, 38).
