Quinolinone-3-carboxamide 1, a novel CFTR potentiator, was discovered using high-throughput screening in NIH-3T3 cells expressing the F508del-CFTR mutation. Extensive medicinal chemistry and iterative structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies to evaluate potency, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties resulted in the identification of N-(2,4-di-tert-butyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide (VX-770, 48, ivacaftor), an investigational drug candidate approved by the FDA for the treatment of CF patients 6 years of age and older carrying the G551D mutation.
