- Synthesis of a CGRP Receptor Antagonist via an Asymmetric Synthesis of 3-Fluoro-4-aminopiperidine
-
A practical and efficient enantioselective synthesis of the calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist 1 has been developed. The key structural component of the active pharmaceutical ingredient is a syn-1,2-amino-fluoropiperidine 4. Two approaches were developed to synthesize this important pharmacophore. Initially, Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of fluoride-substituted enamide 8 enabled the synthesis of sufficient quantities of compound 1 to support early preclinical studies. Subsequently, a novel, cost-effective route to this intermediate was developed utilizing a dynamic kinetic asymmetric transamination of ketone 9. This synthesis also features a robust Ullmann coupling to install a bis-aryl ether using a soluble Cu(I) catalyst. Finally, an enzymatic desymmetrization of meso-diester 7 was exploited for the construction of the γ-lactam moiety in 1.

- Synthesis and evaluation of novel 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide derivatives as potent and orally efficacious immunomodulators targeting JAK3
-
Janus kinases (JAKs) regulate various inflammatory and immune responses and are targets for the treatment of inflammatory and immune diseases. As a novel class of immunomodulators targeting JAK3, 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-5-carboxamide derivatives are promising candidates for treating such diseases. In chemical modification of lead compound 2, the substitution of a cycloalkyl ring for an N-cyanopyridylpiperidine in C4-position was effective for increasing JAK3 inhibitory activity. In addition, modulation of physical properties such as molecular lipophilicity and basicity was important for reducing human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) inhibitory activity. Our optimization study gave compound 31, which exhibited potent JAK3 inhibitory activity as well as weak hERG inhibitory activity. In cellular assay, 31 exhibited potent immunomodulating effect on IL-2-stimulated T cell proliferation. In a pharmacokinetic study, good metabolic stability and oral bioavailability of 31 were achieved in rats, dogs, and monkeys. Further, 31 prolonged graft survival in an in vivo rat heterotopic cardiac transplant model.

- Optimization of pyrrolamide topoisomerase II inhibitors toward identification of an antibacterial clinical candidate (AZD5099)
-
AZD5099 (compound 63) is an antibacterial agent that entered phase 1 clinical trials targeting infections caused by Gram-positive and fastidious Gram-negative bacteria. It was derived from previously reported pyrrolamide antibacterials and a fragment-based approach targeting the ATP binding site of bacterial type II topoisomerases. The program described herein varied a 3-piperidine substituent and incorporated 4-thiazole substituents that form a seven-membered ring intramolecular hydrogen bond with a 5-position carboxylic acid. Improved antibacterial activity and lower in vivo clearances were achieved. The lower clearances were attributed, in part, to reduced recognition by the multidrug resistant transporter Mrp2. Compound 63 showed notable efficacy in a mouse neutropenic Staphylococcus aureus infection model. Resistance frequency versus the drug was low, and reports of clinical resistance due to alteration of the target are few. Hence, 63 could offer a novel treatment for serious issues of resistance to currently used antibacterials.

- CONDENSED PYRIDINE COMPOUND
-
The present invention provides a compound having excellent JAK3 inhibitory activity and being useful as an active ingredient of an agent for treating and/or preventing various immune diseases including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and allergic diseases. As a result of investigations with respect to novel condensed heterocyclic derivatives, the inventors have verified that a condensed pyridine compound has excellent JAK3 inhibitory activity, thereby completing the present invention. More specifically, it has been verified that since the compound according to the present invention has inhibitory activity against JAK3, the compound is useful as an active ingredient of an agent for treating or preventing diseases caused by undesirable cytokine signal transduction (e.g., rejection during live organ/tissue transplantation, autoimmune diseases, asthma, atopic dermatitis, rheumatism, psoriasis and atherosclerotic disease), or diseases caused by abnormal cytokine signal transduction (e.g., cancer and leukemia).
