The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a promising therapeutic target for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other bile acid related diseases because it plays a critical role in fibrosis, inflammation and bile acid homeostasis. Obeticholic acid (OCA), a FXR agonist which was synthesized from chenodeoxycholic acid, showed desirable curative effects in clinical trials. However, the pruritus which was the main side effect of OCA limited its further applications in NASH. Although pruritus was also observed in the clinical trials of non-steroidal FXR agonists, the proportion of patients with pruritus was much smaller than that of OCA. Thus, we decided to develop non-steroidal FXR agonists and discovered a series of novel FXR agonists which were synthesized from GW4064 by replacing the stilbene group with ketoxime ether. Encouragingly, in the following biological tests, our target compounds 13j and 13z not only showed potent FXR agonistic activities in vitro, but also effectively promoted the expression of target genes in vivo. More importantly, in the pharmacokinetic experiments, compounds 13j and 13z displayed high liver/blood ratio characteristics which were helpful to reduce the potential side effects which were caused by prolonged systemic activation of FXR. In summary, our compounds were good choices for the development of non-steroidal FXR agonists and were deserved further investigation.

Herein we report the discovery and preclinical biological evaluation of 6-(2-(5-cyclopropyl-3-(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)isoxazol-4-yl)-7-azaspiro[3.5]non-1-en-7-yl)-4-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline-2-carboxylic acid, compound 1 (BMS-986318), a nonbile acid farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist. Compound 1 exhibits potent in vitro and in vivo activation of FXR, has a suitable ADME profile, and demonstrates efficacy in the mouse bile duct ligation model of liver cholestasis and fibrosis. The overall profile of compound 1 supports its continued evaluation.
