Description
Summary:Optimization of the early lead compound 1 with various carboxamide substitution at the C7 position provided heteroaryl carboxamide analogs (e.g., 35) that exhibited picomolar potency, while the simple methyl amide analog 4 displayed a promising in vitro profile and favorable pharmacokinetic properties in preclinical species. A series of substituted carboxamides at the indole C7 position of the previously described 4-fluoro-substituted indole HIV-1 attachment inhibitor 1 was synthesized and the SAR delineated. Heteroaryl carboxamide inhibitors that exhibited pM potency in the primary cell-based assay against a pseudotype virus expressing a JRFL envelope were identified. The simple methyl amide analog 4 displayed a promising in vitro profile, with its favorable HLM stability and membrane permeability translating into favorable pharmacokinetic properties in preclinical species.
