Abstract

We discovered a series of novel and potent thiazolylpyridinone-based SCD1 inhibitors based on a 2-aminothiazole HTS hit by replacing the amide bond with a pyridinone moiety. Compound 19 demonstrated good potency against SCD1 in vitro and in vivo. The mouse liver microsomal SCD1 in vitro potency for 19 was improved by more than 240-fold compared to the original HTS hit. Furthermore, 19 demonstrated a dose-dependent reduction of plasma desaturation index with an ED50 of 6.3 mg/kg. Compound 19 demonstrated high liver to plasma and liver to eyelid exposures, indicating preferential liver distribution. The preliminary toxicology study with compound 19 did not demonstrate adverse effects related to SCD1 inhibition, suggesting a wide safety margin with respect to other known SCD1 inhibitors with wider distribution profiles. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
