Identification of High-Affinity P2Y<sub>12</sub> Antagonists Based on a Phenylpyrazole Glutamic Acid Piperazine Backbone
A series of novel, highly potent P2Y<sub>12</sub> antagonists
as
inhibitors of platelet aggregation based on a phenylpyrazole glutamic
acid piperazine backbone is described. Exploration of the structural
requirements of the substituents by probing the structureāactivity
relationship along this backbone led to the discovery of the <i>N</i>-acetyl-(<i>S</i>)-proline cyclobutyl amide moiety
as a highly privileged motif. Combining the most favorable substituents
led to remarkably potent P2Y<sub>12</sub> antagonists displaying not
only low nanomolar binding affinity to the P2Y<sub>12</sub> receptor
but also a low nanomolar inhibition of platelet aggregation in the
human platelet rich plasma assay with IC<sub>50</sub> values below
50 nM. Using a homology and a three-dimensional quantitative structureāactivity
relationship model, a binding hypothesis elucidating the impact of
several structural features was developed
<i>N</i>ā[6-(4-Butanoyl-5-methylā1<i>H</i>āpyrazol-1-yl)pyridazin-3-yl]-5-chloro-1-[2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]ā1<i>H</i>āindole-3-carboxamide (SAR216471), a Novel Intravenous and Oral, Reversible, and Directly Acting P2Y12 Antagonist
In
the search of a potential backup for clopidogrel, we have initiated
a HTS campaign designed to identify novel reversible P2Y12 antagonists.
Starting from a hit with low micromolar binding activity, we report
here the main steps of the optimization process leading to the identification
of the preclinical candidate SAR216471. It is a potent, highly selective,
and reversible P2Y12 receptor antagonist and by far the most potent
inhibitor of ADP-induced platelet aggregation among the P2Y12 antagonists
described in the literature. SAR216471 displays potent in vivo antiplatelet
and antithrombotic activities and has the potential to differentiate
from other antiplatelet agents
