Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays a key role in regulating the levels of plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Here, we demonstrate that the compound PF-06446846 inhibits translation of PCSK9 by inducing the ribosom

The optimization of a new class of small molecule PCSK9 mRNA translation inhibitors is described. The potency, physicochemical properties, and off-target pharmacology associated with the hit compound (1) were improved by changes to two regions of the molecule. The last step in the synthesis of the congested amide center was enabled by three different routes. Subtle structural changes yielded significant changes in pharmacology and off-target margins. These efforts led to the identification of 7l and 7n with overall profiles suitable for in vivo evaluation. In a 14-day toxicology study, 7l demonstrated an improved safety profile vs lead 7f. We hypothesize that the improved safety profile is related to diminished binding of 7l to nontranslating ribosomes and an apparent improvement in transcript selectivity due to the lower strength of 7l stalling of off-target proteins.

The present invention is directed at substituted amide compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and the use of such compounds to reduce plasma lipid levels, such as LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides and accordingly to treat diseases which are exacerbated by high levels of LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides, such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases, in mammals, including humans.
