The discovery of nitrile compound 4, a potent inhibitor of Cathepsin K (Cat K) with good bioavailability in dog is described. The compound was used to demonstrate target engagement and inhibition of Cat K in an in vivo dog PD model. The margin to hERG ion channel inhibition was deemed too low for a clinical candidate and an optimisation program to find isosteres or substitutions on benzothiazole group led to the discovery of 20, 24 and 27; all three free from hERG inhibition.
