The identification of novel, non-purine based inhibitors of xanthine oxidase is described. After a high-throughput screening campaign, an NMR based counterscreen was used to distinguish actives, which interact with XO in a reversible manner, from assay artefacts. This approach identified pyrimidone 1 as a reversible and competitive inhibitor with good lead-like properties. A hit to lead campaign gave compound 41, a nanomolar inhibitor of hXO with efficacy in the hyperuricemic rat model after oral dosing.

NDH-2 is an essential respiratory enzyme in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which plays an important role in the physiology of Mtb. Herein, we present a target-based effort to identify a new structural class of inhibitors for NDH-2. High-throughput screening of the AstraZeneca corporate collection resulted in the identification of quinolinyl pyrimidines as the most promising class of NDH-2 inhibitors. Structure-activity relationship studies showed improved enzyme inhibition (IC50) against the NDH-2 target, which in turn translated into cellular activity against Mtb. Thus, the compounds in this class show a good correlation between enzyme inhibition and cellular potency. Furthermore, early ADME profiling of the best compounds showed promising results and highlighted the quinolinyl pyrimidine class as a potential lead for further development.
