Popis: We have previously shown that the oral administration of the small molecule hPTHR1 agonist PCO371 and its lead compound, 1 (CH5447240) results in PTH-like calcemic and hypophostemic activity in thyroparathyroidectomized rats. However, 1 was converted to a reactive metabolite in a human liver microsome assay. In this article, we report on the modification path that led to an enhancement of PTHR1 agonistic activity and reduction in the formation of a reactive metabolite to result in a potent, selective, and orally active PTHR1 agonist 1-(3,5-dimethyl-4-(2-((4-oxo-2-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-1,3,8-triazaspiro[4.5]dec-1-en-8-yl)sulfonyl)ethyl)phenyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione (PCO371, 16c). This compound is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical study for the treatment of hypoparathyroidism.
