Development of a P2X3 receptor antagonist derived from eliapixant with improved properties for the treatment of chronic cough
The P2X3 receptor is an ATP-activated ion channel primarily expressed on peripheral sensory neurons. Its activation triggers cough reflex pathways, making it an attractive target for treating chronic cough and the discovery of P2X3 receptor antagonist has been a long-term pursuit by academia and pharmaceutical companies. However, preliminary antagonists have been hampered by taste disturbances or drug-induced liver injury. Our strategy described herein are maintaining a moderate selectivity between P2X3 and P2X2/3 receptors and replacing the metabolically labile motif with 3-methylbutan-2-ol. These discovery efforts lead to the identification of HW091077, a P2X3 receptor antagonist with an optimal balance of potency, selectivity, PK and metabolic properties that has advanced into clinical trials for the treatment of chronic cough.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a global journal that publishes studies on all aspects of medicinal chemistry. It provides a medium for publication of original papers and also welcomes critical review papers.
A typical paper would report on the organic synthesis, characterization and pharmacological evaluation of compounds. Other topics of interest are drug design, QSAR, molecular modeling, drug-receptor interactions, molecular aspects of drug metabolism, prodrug synthesis and drug targeting. The journal expects manuscripts to present the rational for a study, provide insight into the design of compounds or understanding of mechanism, or clarify the targets.
