This article outlines the research work that led to the identification of 23 as an oral, small-molecule protein-protein interaction modulator (PPIm) clinical development candidate. Protein crystallography provided knowledge of the key binding interactions between small-molecule ligands and the IL-17A dimer, helping in the optimization process towards finding an orally bioavailable, Rule of 5 compliant PPIm of IL-17A.
Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is an interleukin cytokine whose dysregulation is implicated in autoimmune disorders such as psoriasis, and monoclonal antibodies against the IL-17A pathway are now well-established and very effective treatments. This article outlines the work that led to the identification of 23 as an oral, small-molecule protein-protein interaction modulator (PPIm) clinical development candidate. Protein crystallography provided knowledge of the key binding interactions between small-molecule ligands and the IL-17A dimer, and this helped in the multiparameter optimization toward identifying an orally bioavailable, Rule of 5 compliant PPIm of IL-17A. Overlap of early ligands led to a series of benzhydrylglycine-containing compounds that allowed the identification of dimethylpyrazole as a key substituent that gave PPIm with oral bioavailability. Exploration of the amino acid portion of the structure then led to dicyclopropylalanine as a group that gave potent and metabolically stable compounds, including the development candidate 23.
