A series of 3(R)-aminopyrrolidine derivatives were designed and synthesized for JAK1-selective inhibitors through the modification of tofacitinib's core structure, (3R,4R)-3-amino-4-methylpiperidine. From the new core structures, we selected (R)-N-methyl-N-(pyrrolidin-3-yl)-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-amine as a scaffold for further SAR studies. From biochemical enzyme assays and liver microsomal stability tests, (R)-3-(3-(methyl(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-3-oxopropanenitrile (6) was chosen for further in vivo test through oral administration. Compound 6 showed improved selectivity for JAK1 compared to that of tofacitinib (IC 11, 2.4 × 10, 2.8 × 10, and 1.1 × 10 nM for JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2, respectively). In CIA and AIA model tests, compound 6 exhibited similar efficacy to tofacitinib citrate.
一系列 3(R)-氨基吡咯烷衍生物被设计和合成,作为 JAK1 选择性抑制剂,通过对托法替尼核心结构((3R,4R)-3-氨基-4-甲基哌啶)的修饰。从新的核心结构中,我们选择(R)-N-甲基-N-(吡咯烷-3-基)-7H-吡咯并[2,3-d]嘧啶-4-胺作为进一步 SAR 研究的支架。通过生化酶测定和肝微粒体稳定性测试,(R)-3-(3-(甲基(7H-吡咯并[2,3-d]嘧啶-4-基)氨基)吡咯烷-1-基)-3-氧代丙腈(6)被选为进一步通过口服给药进行体内测试的化合物。与托法替尼相比,化合物 6对 JAK1 的选择性提高(IC 11,分别为 2.4×10、2.8×10 和 1.1×10 nM 用于 JAK1、JAK2、JAK3 和 TYK2)。在 CIA 和 AIA 模型测试中,化合物 6表现出与柠檬酸托法替尼相似的疗效。
