Abstrakt: Mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) has been identified as an attractive oncology target for which >70% of grade II and III gliomas and ∼10% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harbor somatic IDH1 mutations. These mutations confer a neomorphic gain of function, leading to the production of the oncometabolite ( R )-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). We identified and developed a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable brain-penetrant tricyclic diazepine scaffold that inhibits mutant IDH1. During the course of in vitro metabolism studies, GSH-adduct metabolites were observed. The hypothesis for GSH-adduct formation was driven by the electron-rich nature of the tricyclic core. Herein, we describe our efforts to reduce the electron-rich nature of the core. Ultimately, a strategy focused on core modifications to block metabolic hot spots coupled with substitution pattern changes (C8 N → C linked) led to the identification of new tricyclic analogues with minimal GSH-adduct formation across species while maintaining an overall balanced profile.
