Abstract
11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11beta-HSD1) is the enzyme that converts cortisone to cortisol. A growing body of evidence suggests that selective inhibition of 11beta-HSD1 could potentially treat metabolic syndrome as well as type 2 diabetes. Through modification of our initial lead 1, we have discovered trifluoromethyl thiazolone 17. This compound had a Ki of 22 nM, possessed low in vivo clearance, and showed a 91% inhibition of adipose 11beta-HSD1 enzymatic activity in a mouse ex vivo pharmacodynamic model.
Trifluoromethyl thiazolone 17 shows potential as a potent, orally efficacious inhibitor of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1, potentially treating metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
