Abstract
In recent years, soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC, EC 4.6.1.2) has emerged as an attractive therapeutic target for treating cardiovascular diseases and diseases associated with fibrosis and end-organ failure. Herein, we describe our design and synthesis of a series of 4-hydroxypyrimidine sGC stimulators starting with an internally discovered lead. Our efforts have led to the discovery of IWP-051, a molecule that achieves good alignment of potency, stability, selectivity, and pharmacodynamic effects while maintaining favorable pharmacokinetic properties with once-daily dosing potential in humans.Entities:
