Optimization of Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Pyrrolodinopyrimidine-Containing Inhibitors of Heat Shock Protein 90. Identification of Development Candidate 2-Amino-4-{4-chloro-2-[2-(4-flu
文摘
A novel class of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors was discovered by high-throughput screening and was subsequently optimized using a combination of structure-based design, parallel synthesis, and the application of medicinal chemistry principles. Through this process, the biochemical and cell-based potency of the original HTS lead were substantially improved along with the corresponding metabolic stability properties. These efforts culminated with the identification of a development candidate (compound 42) which displayed desired PK/PD relationships, significant efficacy in a melanoma A2058 xenograft tumor model, and attractive DMPK profiles.
