4'-Methyl-4,5'-bithiazole-based correctors of defective delta F508-CFTR cellular processing

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Apr 15;18(8):2610-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2008.03.037. Epub 2008 Mar 16.

Abstract

The synthesis and Delta F508-CFTR corrector activity of a 148-member methylbithiazole-based library are reported. Synthetic routes were devised and optimized to generate methylbithiazole analogs in four steps. Corrector potency and efficacy were assayed using epithelial cells expressing human Delta F508-CFTR. These structure-activity data establish that the bithiazole substructure plays a critical function; eight novel methylbithiazole correctors were identified with low micromolar potencies.
