  • Mechanistic Characterization of Long Residence Time Inhibitors of Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2).
    Biochemistry, 2018
    Co-Authors: Brandon Pabst, Kentaro Futatsugi, Qifang Li
    Abstract:

    Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) catalyzes the final step in triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. Genetic knockdown or pharmacological inhibition of DGAT2 leads to a decrease in very-low-density lipoprotein TAG secretion and hepatic lipid levels in rodents, indicating DGAT2 may represent an attractive therapeutic target for treatment of hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis. We have previously described potent and selective imidazopyridine DGAT2 inhibitors with high oral bioavailability. However, the detailed mechanism of DGAT2 inhibition has not been reported. Herein, we describe Imidazopyridines represented by PF-06424439 (1) and 2 as long residence time inhibitors of DGAT2. We demonstrate that 1 and 2 are slowly reversible, time-dependent inhibitors, which inhibit DGAT2 in a noncompetitive mode with respect to the acyl-CoA substrate. Detailed kinetic analysis demonstrated that 1 and 2 inhibit DGAT2 in a two-step binding mechanism, in which the initial enzyme–inhibitor complex (EI) undergoes an isome...

  • route selection and optimization in the synthesis of two imidazopyridine inhibitors of dgat 2
    Organic Process Research & Development, 2018
    Co-Authors: Scott Bader, Qifang Li, Shawn Cabral, Matthew S. Dowling, Michael Herr, Gary E Aspnes, Jianwei Bian, Steven B Coffey, Dilinie P Fernando, Wenhua Jiao
    Abstract:

    The scalable syntheses of two imidazopyridine inhibitors of the enzyme diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT-2) are described. 6-Chloro-3-nitro-2-aminopyridine was the starting material for the convergent synthesis of the central imidazopyridine ring. Differentiation in reactivity of the C2- and C3-nitrogen substituents on the pyridine ring and the development of mild cyclodehydration conditions to form the imidazole ring were critical problems that were addressed to deliver a 3-kg batch of compound 1 (PF-06424439) and a 0.1-kg batch of compound 2 (PF-06450561).
