Substituted 2H-isoquinolin-1-one as potent Rho-Kinase inhibitors. Part 1: Hit-to-lead account.

Abstract:

:Two closely related scaffolds were identified through an uHTS campaign as desirable starting points for the development of Rho-Kinase (ROCK) inhibitors. Here, we describe our hit-to-lead evaluation process which culminated in the rapid discovery of potent leads such as 22 which successfully demonstrated an early in vivo proof of concept for anti-hypertensive activity.

  • Discovery of highly potent and selective orexin 1 receptor antagonists (1-SORAs) suitable for in vivo interrogation of orexin 1 receptor pharmacology.

    abstract::While a correlation between blockade of the orexin 2 receptor (OX2R) with either a dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) or a selective orexin 2 receptor antagonist (2-SORA) and a decrease of wakefulness is well established, less is known about selective blockade of the orexin 1 receptor (OX1R). Therefore, a highly s...
