Tak-242 (resatorvid), a Toll-like Receptor 4 (TLR4) inhibitor, has been identified as a potent suppressor of innate inflammation. As a strategy to target Tak-242 to select tissue, four TLR4-inactive prodrugs were synthesized for activation via two different release mechanisms. Two nitrobenzyl Tak-242 prodrugs released the parent drug upon exposure to the exogenous enzyme nitroreductase, while the two propargyl prodrugs were converted to Tak-242 in the presence of Pd0.

Conjugation to human serum albumin (HSA) has emerged as a powerful approach for extending the in vivo halflife of many small molecule and peptide/protein drugs. Current HSA conjugation strategies, however, can often yield heterogeneous mixtures with inadequate pharmacokinetics, low efficacies, and variable safety profiles. Here, we designed and synthesized analogues of TAK-242, a small molecule inhibitor of Toll-like receptor 4, that primarily reacted with a single lysine residue of HSA. These TAK-242-based cyclohexene compounds demonstrated robust reactivity, and Lys64 was identified as the primary conjugation site. A bivalent HSA conjugate was also prepared in a site-specific manner. Additionally, HSA-cyclohexene conjugates maintained higher levels of stability both in human plasma and in mice than the corresponding maleimide conjugates. This new conjugation strategy promises to broadly enhance the performance of HSA conjugates for numerous applications.

To develop a new therapeutic agent for sepsis, screening of the Takeda chemical library was carried out using mouse macrophages stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to identify a new class of small-molecule inhibitors of inflammatory mediator production. The lead compound 5a was discovered, from which a series of novel cyclohexene derivatives I bearing a sulfamoyl and ester group were designed, synthesized and tested for their inhibitory activity against nitric oxide (NO) production. Derivatives I were synthesized by the coupling of sulfonyl chlorides and anilines with concomitant double bond migration in the presence of triethylamine, and phenyl ring substitution and modification of the ester and cyclohexene moieties were carried out. Among the compounds synthesized, ethyl (6R)-6-[N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)sulfamoyl]- cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate [(R)-(+)-5n, TAK-242] was found to exhibit the most potent suppressive activity for the production of not only NO but also inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) induced by LPS-stimulated mouse macrophages with IC 50 values of 1.8, 1.9 and 1.3 nM, respectively. It shows marked beneficial effects in vivo also. Intravenous administration of (R)-(+)-5n at doses of 0.1 mg/kg or more suppressed the production of NO and various cytokines [TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β] in the mouse endotoxin shock model. Furthermore, it protected mice from death dose-dependently and all mice survived at a dose of 3 mg/kg. The minimum effective dose to protect mice from lethality in this model was 0.3 mg/kg, which was consistent with those for inhibitory effects on the production of NO and cytokines. Compound CR)-(+)-5n is currently undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of sepsis.
