1,2,3,9b-Tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-ones as a new class of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion inhibitors. Part 2: Identification of BTA9881 as a preclinical candidate
[Display omitted]
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory tract infections in infants, young children and adults. 1,2,3,9b-Tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-ones with general structure 1 were previously identified as promising inhibitors of RSV targeting the fusion glycoprotein. In particular, the introduction of a nitrogen at the 8-position of the tricyclic core yielded lead compounds 2 and 3. Extensive exploration of the R2 group established that certain heterocyclic amides conferred potent RSV A&B activity and a good balance of physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. The antiviral activity was found to reside in a single enantiomer and compound 33a, (9bS)-9b-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(pyridin-3-ylcarbonyl)-1,2,3,9b-tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[1′,2′:1,2]pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridin-5-one (known as BTA9881), was identified as a candidate for preclinical development.
