Abstract:
:The objective of this Letter is to report the first (to our knowledge) in vivo proof of concept for a sulfenamide prodrug to orally deliver a poorly soluble drug containing a weakly-acidic NH-acid from a conventional solid dosage formulation. This proof of concept was established using BMS-708163 (1), a gamma secretase inhibitor containing a weakly acidic primary amide NH-acid as the chemical handle for attaching a series of thiol-based promoieties via a sulfenamide linkage. Aqueous stabilities and solubilities are reported for a series of six sulfenamide prodrugs (2-7) of 1. The sulfenamide prodrug containing the cysteine methyl ester promoiety (5) was chosen for a orally-dosed PK study in male beagle dog comparing a solubilized formulation of 1 against a solid dosage form of 5 in a cross-over fashion at an equivalent molar dose of 3 mg/kg. Prodrug 5 delivered essentially a superimposable PK profile of 1 compared to the solubilized formulation of 1, without any detectable exposure of 5 in systemic circulation.
