Abstrakt: Adenylyl cyclase isoform 1 (AC1) is considered a promising target for treating inflammatory pain. Our group identified the pyrazolyl-pyrimidinone scaffold as potent and selective inhibitors of Ca 2+ /CaM-mediated AC1 activity; however, the molecules suffered from poor aqueous solubility. The current study presents a strategy to improve aqueous solubility of the scaffold by reduction of crystal packing energy and increasing rotational degrees of freedom within the molecule. Structure-activity and property relationship studies identified the second generation lead 7-47A ( AC10142A ) that demonstrated and AC1 IC 50 value of 0.26 μM and aqueous solubility of 74 ± 7 μM. After in vitro ADME characterization, the scaffold advanced to in vivo pharmacokinetic evaluation, demonstrating adequate levels of exposure. Finally, 7-47A exhibited antiallodynic efficacy in a rat complete Freund's adjuvant model for inflammatory pain showing improvement over previous iterations of this scaffold. These results further validate AC1 inhibition as a viable therapeutic strategy for treating chronic and inflammatory pain.
