Zusammenfassung: | The inhibition of the hERG channel by noncardiovascular drugs is a side effect that severely impedes the development of new medications. To increase hERG selectivity of preclinical compounds, we recommend the study of nondesolvation related interactions with the intended target and hERG using a baseline lipophilicity relationship approach. While this approach is conventionally used in studies of potency, we demonstrate here that it can help in selectivity issues. Studies of hERG selectivity in four in-house classes of chemokine receptor (CCR) antagonists suggest that the selectivity is improved most effectively by structural alterations that increase the lipophilicity-adjusted primary potency, pIC50 CCR − LogD. Fragment-based QSAR analysis is performed using the lipophilicity-adjusted hERG potency, pIC50 hERG − LogD, to identify moieties that form nonhydrophobic interactions with the hERG channel. These moieties, which erode hERG selectivity, can then be avoided. A novel two-dimensional fragment-based QSAR analysis helps visualizing the lipophilicity-adjusted hERG and CCR potencies within chemical series. |
