Discovery of a Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Acidic 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 (11β-HSD1) Inhibitor: Discovery of 2-[(3S)-1-[5-(Cyclohexylcarbamoyl)-6-propylsulfanylpyridin-2-yl]-3-piperidyl]acetic Acid (AZD4017)

Abstract: Inhibition of 11β-HSD1 is an attractive mechanism for the treatment of obesity and other elements of the metabolic syndrome. We report here the discovery of a nicotinic amide derived carboxylic acid class of inhibitors that has good potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic characteristics. Compound 11i (AZD4017) is an effective inhibitor of 11β-HSD1 in human adipocytes and exhibits good druglike properties and as a consequence was selected for clinical development.

“…The results of the presented study are in line with a similar type of study investigating the impact of another selective and potent oral 11βHSD1 inhibitor AZD4017 on IOP ( table 1 ). 15 16 However, AZD4017 was administered for a duration of 4 weeks, suggesting that a longer treatment duration in the present study may also not have provided a larger effect on IOP.…”

“…Several drugs target important enzymes like 11βhydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-1 (11β-HSD1) [140][141][142][143][144][145][146][147][148] and protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) [149]. 11β-HSD1 reduces cortisone to the active hormone cortisol, which activates glucocorticoid receptors.…”

“…Heating of compounds 2 ‐R (R=H, F) with 3‐( N , N ‐dimethylamino)phenol ( 3 ) was performed in the presence of air oxygen, in order to provide oxidation of the intermediate leuco‐forms (the structures not shown) to dyes 4‐ R. We tried various solvents (propionic acid, toluene, trifluoroethanol; with and without acidic catalysts), but only in dichlorobenzene rhodamines 4 ‐R were formed in moderate yield. Careful addition of thioglycolic acid to the solutions of compounds 4 ‐R in DMF at room temperature resulted in selective substitution of the chlorine between the carboxylic acid group and the nitrogen atom [12] and resulted in the new fluorescent dyes 5 ‐R bearing a short linker and the second carboxylate. The NMR spectra of rhodamines 4 ‐R and 5 ‐R displayed broad signals at +25 °C; probably due to protonation of the pyridine nitrogen.…”
