Popis: This article describes the discovery of aryl hydroxy pyrimidinones and the medicinal chemistry efforts to optimize this chemotype for potent APJ agonism. APJ is a G-protein coupled receptor whose natural agonist peptide, apelin, displays hemodynamic improvement in the cardiac function of heart failure patients. A high throughput screen was undertaken to identify small molecule hits that could be optimized to mimic the apelin in vitro response. A potent and low molecular weight aryl hydroxy pyrimidinone analog 30 was identified through optimization of an HTS hit and medicinal chemistry efforts to improve its properties.
