The Th17 pathway has been implicated in autoimmune diseases. The retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor C2 (RORγt) is a master regulator of Th17 cells and controls the expression of IL-17A. RORγt is expressed primarily in IL-17A-producing lymphoid cells. Here we describe a virtual screen of the ligand-binding pocket and subsequent screen in a binding assay that identified the 1-benzyl-4′,5′-dihydrospiro[piperidine-4,7′-thieno[2,3-c]pyran]-2′-carboxamide scaffold as a starting point for optimization of binding affinity and functional activity guided by structure-based design. Compound 12 demonstrated activity in a mouse PK/PD model and efficacy in an inflammatory arthritis mouse model that were used to define the level and duration of target engagement required for efficacy in vivo. Further optimization to improve ADME and physicochemical properties with guidance from simulations and modeling provided compound 22, which is projected to achieve the level and duration of target engagement required for efficacy in the clinic.

The development of a synthesis of an ORL-1 receptor antagonist is described. The key process improvements in the synthetic sequence include a multikilogram bromination process and the development of a convergent coupling strategy. The process improvements resulted in the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) on a multikilogram scale.

Positron emission tomography (PET) coupled to an effective radioligand could provide an important tool for understanding possible links between neuropsychiatric disorders and brain NOP (nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide) receptors. We sought to develop such a PET radioligand. High-affinity NOP ligands were synthesized based on a 3-(2′-fluoro-4′,5′- dihydrospiro[piperidine-4,7′-thieno[2,3-c]pyran]-1-yl)-2(2-halobenzyl) -N-alkylpropanamide scaffold and from experimental screens in rats, with ex vivo LC-MS/MS measures, three ligands were identified for labeling with carbon-11 and evaluation with PET in monkey. Each ligand was labeled by 11C-methylation of an N-desmethyl precursor and studied in monkey under baseline and NOP receptor-preblock conditions. The three radioligands, [11C](S)-10a-c, gave similar results. Baseline scans showed high entry of radioactivity into the brain to give a distribution reflecting that expected for NOP receptors. Preblock experiments showed high early peak levels of brain radioactivity, which rapidly declined to a much lower level than seen in baseline scans, thereby indicating a high level of receptor-specific binding in baseline experiments. Overall, [11C](S)-10c showed the most favorable receptor-specific signal and kinetics and is now selected for evaluation in human subjects.

An ORL-1 receptor antagonist of the formula: its uses, and methods for its preparation are described. ORL-1 antagonists are deemed to be useful in the treatment of depression and/or the treatment of overweight, obesity, and/or weight maintenance post treatment for overweight or obesity. Certain compounds have also demonstrated through animal models that the compounds of the present invention are useful for the treatment of migraines.
