The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 3-aryl-indazole derivatives as peripherally selective pan-Trk inhibitors are described. Three strategies were used to obtain a potent compound exhibiting low central nervous system (CNS) penetration and high plasma exposure: 1) a structure-based drug design (SBDD) approach was used to improve potency; 2) a substrate for an efflux transporter for lowering brain penetration was explored; and 3) the most basic pKa (pKa-MB) value was used as an indicator to identify compounds with good membrane permeability. This enabled the identification of the peripherally targeted 17c with the potency, kinase-selectivity, and plasma exposure required to demonstrate in vivo efficacy in a Complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced thermal hypersensitivity model.
描述了新型 3-芳基-吲唑衍生物作为外周选择性泛 Trk 抑制剂的设计、合成和生物评价。为了获得一种具有低中枢神经系统(CNS)穿透性和高血浆暴露的有效化合物,采用了三种策略:1)基于结构的药物设计(SBDD)方法用于提高效力;2)探索了用于降低脑穿透性的外排转运体的底物;3)最基本的 pKa(pKa-MB)值用作识别具有良好膜通透性的化合物的指标。这使得能够鉴定出具有效力、激酶选择性和血浆暴露的外周靶向 17c,从而在完全弗氏佐剂(CFA)诱导的热敏感性模型中证明体内疗效。
