The FK1 domain of FKBP51 in complex with (3S,11S)-12-((3,5-dichlorophenyl)sulfonyl)-5-oxo-11-vinyldecahydro-1H-6,10-epiminopyrrolo[1,2-a]azonine-3-carboxamide

Publication Abstract from PubMedAccess to small, rigid, and sp3-rich molecules is a major limitation in the drug discovery for challenging protein targets. FK506-binding proteins hold high potential as drug targets or enablers of molecular glues but are fastidious in the chemotypes accepted as ligands. We here report an enantioselective synthesis of a highly rigidified pipecolate-mimicking tricyclic scaffold that precisely position functional groups for interacting with FKBPs. This was enabled by a 14-step gram-scale synthesis featuring anodic oxidation, stereospecific vinylation, and N-acyl iminium cyclization. Structure-based optimization resulted in the discovery of FKBP inhibitors with picomolar biochemical and subnanomolar cellular activity that represent the most potent FKBP ligands known to date.
