Thyroid receptor ligands. Part 4: 4'-amido bioisosteric ligands selective for the thyroid hormone receptor beta

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2006 Feb 15;16(4):884-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2005.11.002. Epub 2005 Nov 21.

Abstract

Based on the examination of the X-ray crystallographic structures of the LBD of TRalpha and TRbeta in complex with KB-141 (2), a number of novel 4'-hydroxy bioisosteric thyromimetics were prepared. Optimal affinity and beta-selectivity (33 times), was found with a medium-sized alkyl-substituted amido group; iso-butyl (12c). It can be concluded that bioisosteric replacements of the 4'-hydroxy position represent a new promising class of TRbeta-selective synthetic thyromimetics.
