The design of drugs with selective tissue distribution can be an effective strategy for enhancing efficacy and safety, but understanding the translation of preclinical tissue distribution data to the clinic remains an important challenge. As part of a discovery program to identify next generation liver selective HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors we report the identification of (3R,5R)-7-(4-((3-fluorobenzyl)carbamoyl)-5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-fluorophenyl) -1H-imidazol-1-yl)-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid (26) as a candidate for treating hypercholesterlemia. Clinical evaluation of 26 (PF-03491165), as well as the previously reported 2 (PF-03052334), provided an opportunity for a case study comparison of the preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetics as well as pharmacodynamics of tissue targeted HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.

Development work toward an enabling synthesis of preparative scale batches of an imidazole-based HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is described. The desired target was synthesized in 16% yield over 7 steps, highlighted by an imidazole-forming condensation reaction in which the yield was improved from 20% to >70% via modification of the solvent, acid, and amine equivalents. The step 2 acylation was improved, and a problematic benzyl ester in step 4 was converted into the corresponding benzyl amide to decrease trans-amidation during the step 5 imidazole formation. A highly effective salt formation and crystallization protocol was also developed.
