A quantitative assessment of hERG liability as a function of lipophilicity.

Abstract:

:The impact of lipophilicity as a factor contributing to hERG potency is assessed for a large dataset of compounds of differing ionisation type. This dataset is derived from compounds tested in the IonWorks-based in vitro electrophysiology hERG assay at AstraZeneca. Using logistic regression, a quantification of the risk associated with increasing lipophilicity is presented. The anticipated differences between acidic, basic and neutral compounds are apparent in the data but lipophilicity is shown to be a stronger driver for hERG potency than might have been expected. Simple rules defining target lipophilicity values for minimizing hERG liability are derived.

  • Development of indole sulfonamides as cannabinoid receptor negative allosteric modulators.

    abstract::Existing CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) fall into a limited range of structural classes. In spite of the theoretical potential of CB1 NAMs, published in vivo studies have generally not been able to demonstrate the expected therapeutically-relevant CB1-mediated effects. Thus, a greater range of molecular too...
