Discovery of Clinical Candidate 2‑((2<i>S</i>,6<i>S</i>)‑2-Phenyl-6-hydroxyadamantan-2-yl)-1-(3′-hydroxyazetidin-1-yl)ethanone [BMS-816336], an Orally Active Novel Selective 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Inhibitor

BMS-816336 (<b>6n-2</b>), a hydroxy-substituted adamantyl acetamide, has been identified as a novel, potent inhibitor against human 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme (IC₅₀ 3.0 nM) with >10000-fold selectivity over human 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2). <b>6n-2</b> exhibits a robust acute pharmacodynamic effect in cynomolgus monkeys (ED₅₀ 0.12 mg/kg) and in DIO mice. It is orally bioavailable (%<i>F</i> ranges from 20 to 72% in preclinical species) and has a predicted pharmacokinetic profile of a high peak to trough ratio and short half-life in humans. This ADME profile met our selection criteria for once daily administration, targeting robust inhibition of 11β-HSD1 enzyme for the first 12 h period after dosing followed by an “inhibition holiday” so that the potential for hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activation might be mitigated. <b>6n-2</b> was found to be well-tolerated in phase 1 clinical studies and represents a potential new treatment for type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and other human diseases modulated by glucocorticoid control
