RENIN IN COMPLEXED WITH (3S,4S)-4-({[4-methoxy-3-(3-methoxypropoxy)benzoyl](propan-2-yl)amino}methyl)pyrrolidin-3-yl benzylcarbamate INHIBITOR
Structural highlights
DiseaseRENI_HUMAN Defects in REN are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).[1] Defects in REN are the cause of familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy type 2 (HNFJ2) [MIM:613092. It is a renal disease characterized by juvenile onset of hyperuricemia, slowly progressive renal failure and anemia.[2] FunctionRENI_HUMAN Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, whose only known function is to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen in the plasma, initiating a cascade of reactions that produce an elevation of blood pressure and increased sodium retention by the kidney. Publication Abstract from PubMedInhibition of the aspartyl protease renin is considered as an efficient approach for treating hypertension. Lately, we described the discovery of a novel class of direct renin inhibitors which comprised a pyrrolidine scaffold (e.g., 2). Based on the X-ray structure of the lead compound 2 bound to renin we predicted that optimization of binding interactions to the prime site could offer an opportunity to further expand the scope of this chemotype. Pyrrolidine-based inhibitors were synthesized in which the prime site moieties are linked to the pyrrolidine core through an oxygen atom, resulting in an ether or a carbamate linker subseries. Especially the carbamate derivatives showed a pronounced increase in in vitro potency compared to 2. Here we report the structure-activity relationship of both subclasses and demonstrate blood pressure lowering effects for an advanced prototype in a hypertensive double-transgenic rat model after oral dosing. trans-3,4-Disubstituted pyrrolidines as inhibitors of the human aspartyl protease renin.
