Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have shown promise in treating various forms of cancer. However, many HDAC inhibitors from diverse structural classes have been associated with QT prolongation in humans. Inhibition of the human ether a-go-go related gene (hERG) channel has been associated with QT prolongation and fatal arrhythmias. To determine if the observed cardiac effects of HDAC inhibitors in humans is due to hERG blockade, a highly potent HDAC inhibitor devoid of hERG activity was required. Starting with dacinostat (LAQ824), a highly potent HDAC inhibitor, we explored the SAR to determine the pharmacophores required for HDAC and hERG inhibition. We disclose here the results of these efforts where a high degree of pharmacophore homology between these two targets was discovered. This similarity prevented traditional strategies for mitigating hERG binding/modulation from being successful and novel approaches for reducing hERG inhibition were required. Using a hERG homology model, two compounds, 11r and 25i, were discovered to be highly efficacious with weak affinity for the hERG and other ion channels.

Treatment of 3-(hydroxymethyl)pyrazolopyridines with trifluoroacetic acid in refluxing dichloromethane led to the formation of bis(pyrazolopyrid-3-yl)methanes or bis pyrid-3-yl)>methyl ethers depending upon the concentration of trifluoroacetic acid.In contrast, similar treatment of 3-(1-hydroxyethyl)pyrazolopyridines gave a mixture of 3-vinylpyrazolopyridines and 1,3-bis(pyrazolopyrid-3-yl)-1-butenes.
