Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonists are emerging as important potential therapeutics for the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients, as they exert positive effects on multiple aspects of the disease. FXR agonists reduce lipid accumulation in the liver, hepatocellular inflammation, hepatic injury, and fibrosis. While there are currently no approved therapies for NASH, the bile acid-derived FXR agonist obeticholic acid (OCA; 6-ethyl chenodeoxycholic acid) has shown promise in clinical studies. Previously, we described the discovery of tropifexor (LJN452), the most potent non-bile acid FXR agonist currently in clinical investigation. Here, we report the discovery of a novel chemical series of non-bile acid FXR agonists based on a tricyclic dihydrochromenopyrazole core from which emerged nidufexor (LMB763), a compound with partial FXR agonistic activity in vitro and FXR-dependent gene modulation in vivo. Nidufexor has advanced to Phase 2 human clinical trials in patients with NASH and diabetic nephropathy.

The development of a boron/nitrogen-centered frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) with remarkably high water tolerance is presented. As systematic steric tuning of the boron-based Lewis acid (LA) component revealed, the enhanced back-strain makes water binding increasingly reversible in the presence of relatively strong base. This advance allows the limits of FLP's hydrogenation to be expanded, as demonstrated by the FLP reductive amination of carbonyls. This metal-free catalytic variant displays a notably broad chemoselectivity and generality.

Lower Lewis acidity boranes demonstrate greater tolerance to combinations of water/strong Br?nsted bases than B(C6F5)3, this enables Si?H bond activation by a frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) mechanism to proceed in the presence of H2O/alkylamines. Specifically, BPh3has improved water tolerance in the presence of alkylamines as the Br?nsted acidic adduct H2O–BPh3does not undergo irreversible deprotonation with aliphatic amines in contrast to H2O–B(C6F5)3. Therefore BPh3is a catalyst for the reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with alkylamines using silanes as reductants. A range of amines inaccessible using B(C6F5)3as catalyst, were accessible by reductive amination catalysed by BPh3via an operationally simple methodology requiring no purification of BPh3or reagents/solvent. BPh3has a complementary reductive amination scope to B(C6F5)3with the former not an effective catalyst for the reductive amination of arylamines, while the latter is not an effective catalyst for the reductive amination of alkylamines. This disparity is due to the different pKavalues of the water–borane adducts and the greater susceptibility of BPh3species towards protodeboronation. An understanding of the deactivation processes occurring using B(C6F5)3and BPh3as reductive amination catalysts led to the identification of a third triarylborane, B(3,5-Cl2C6H3)3, that has a broader substrate scope being able to catalyse the reductive amination of both aryl and alkyl amines with carbonyls.
