Commercial route definition for a glucokinase activator called for a re-evaluation of the synthesis and processes used to access multikilogram quantities of a pyrazine building block. The processes developed allowed a literature route to sodium 6-oxo-1H-pyrazine-3-carboxylate to be leveraged. One of these processes consisted of a highly selective decarboxylation that allowed the target building block to be accessed with complete regioselectivity in standard batch processing equipment. The presence of an azetidine ring in the target required the mitigation of impurity liabilities arising from the use of the hydrochloride salt of azetidine as an input material.

Several androgen receptor (AR) antagonists are clinically prescribed to treat prostate cancer. Unfortunately, many patients become resistant to the existing AR antagonists. To overcome this, a novel AR antagonist candidate called DIMN was discovered by our research group in 2013. In order to develop compounds with improved potency, we designed novel DIMN derivatives based on a docking study and substituted carbons with heteroatom moieties. Encouraging in vitro results for compounds 1b, 1c, 1e, 3c, and 4c proved that the new design was successful. Among the newly synthesized compounds, 1e exhibited the strongest inhibitory effect on LNCaP cell growth (IC50= 0.35 μM) and also acted as a competitive AR antagonist with selectivity over the estrogen receptor (ER) and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). A docking study of compound 1e fully supported these biological results. Compound 1e is considered to be a novel, potent and AR-specific antagonist for treating prostate cancer. Thus, our study successfully applied molecular modeling and bioisosteric replacement for hit optimization. The methods here provide a guide for future development of drug candidates through structure-based drug discovery and chemical modifications.
