This first-time-in-human (FTIH) study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and food effect of single repeat oral doses GSK3036656, a leucyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor. In part A, GSK3036656 5 mg (fed fasted), 15 mg, 25 placebo were administered. B, administered for 14 days once daily. showed dose-proportional increase following single-dose administration after dosing days. The maximum concentration drug in serum (Cmax) area under concentration-time curve from 0 h to end...
N-tert-Butyl isoquine (4) (GSK369796) is a 4-aminoquinoline drug candidate selected and developed as part of public−private partnership between academics at Liverpool, MMV, GSK pharmaceuticals. This molecule was rationally designed based on chemical, toxicological, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic considerations excellent activity against Plasmodium falciparum in vitro rodent malaria parasites vivo. The optimized chemistry delivered this novel synthetic quinoline two-step procedure from...
The sensitivity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the pathogen that causes (TB), to antibiotic prodrugs is dependent on efficacy activation process transforms into their active antibacterial moieties. Various oxidases M. have potential activate prodrug ethionamide. Here, we used medicinal chemistry coupled with a phenotypic assay select N-acylated 4-phenylpiperidine compound series. lead compound, SMARt751, interacted transcriptional regulator VirS which regulates mymA operon encoding...
On the basis of a mechanistic understanding toxicity 4-aminoquinoline amodiaquine (1b), three series analogues have been prepared where 4-aminophenol "metabolic alert" has modified by replacement 4′-hydroxy group with hydrogen, fluorine, or chlorine atom. Following antimalarial assessment and studies on mechanism action, two candidates were selected for detailed ADME in vitro vivo toxicological assessment. 4′-Fluoro-N-tert-butylamodiaquine (2k) was subsequently identified as candidate...
The leishmaniases are diseases that affect millions of people across the world, in particular visceral leishmaniasis (VL) which is fatal unless treated. Current standard care for VL suffers from multiple issues and there a limited pipeline new candidate drugs. As such, clear unmet medical need to identify treatments. This paper describes optimization phenotypic hit against Leishmania donovani, major causative organism VL. key challenges were balance solubility metabolic stability while...
GSK3191607, a novel inhibitor of the Plasmodium falciparum ATP4 (PfATP4) pathway, is being considered for development in humans. However, key problem encountered during preclinical evaluation compound was its inconsistent pharmacokinetic (PK) profile across species (mouse, rat and dog), which prevented reliable prediction PK parameters humans precluded well-founded assessment potential clinical compound. Therefore, an open-label microdose (100 μg, six subjects) first time study conducted to...
