The serine/threonine kinase IL-1R-associated (IRAK)4 is a critical regulator of innate immunity. We have identified BMS-986126, potent, highly selective inhibitor IRAK4 activity that demonstrates equipotent against multiple MyD88-dependent responses both in vitro and vivo. BMS-986126 failed to inhibit assays downstream MyD88-independent receptors, including the TNF receptor TLR3. Very little was seen TLR4, which can also activate an pathway. In mice, compound inhibited cytokine production...

Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) have been used to solubilize poorly water-soluble drugs improve exposure in high-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) and toxicokinetic (TK) studies. However, the absorbable dose is often limited by solubility lipidic SEDDS vehicle. This study focuses on increasing loading of ionizable vehicles using lipophilic counterions prepare salts drugs. formulations two salts-atazanavir-2-naphthalene sulfonic acid (ATV-2-NSA) atazanavir-dioctyl sulfosuccinic...

Abstract Iberdomide is a BCS III CELMoD™ agent currently under development for treatment of multiple myeloma. Five formulations were used during clinical development, starting with active ingredient in gelatin capsule (AIC), followed by subsequent (F1), HPMC capsules (F2 and F3), finally the intended commercial form (ICF). A food effect study Phase I AIC formulation showed no two relative bioavailability studies bridging from to F1 F2 similar systemic exposure. Modeling simulation, based on...

We have recently disclosed 5-phenyl-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-2-(pyrimidin-5-yl)quinazolin-4-amine 1 as a potent IKur current blocker with selectivity versus hERG, Na and Ca channels, an acceptable preclinical PK profile. Upon further characterization in vivo, compound demonstrated unacceptable level of brain penetration. In effort to reduce the penetration while maintaining overall profile, SAR was developed at C2' position for series close analogues by employing hydrogen bond donors. As...

IRAK4 is an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory conditions. Structure guided optimization a nicotinamide series inhibitors has been expanded to explore front pocket. This resulted in identification compounds such as 12 with improved potency and selectivity. Additionally demonstrated activity pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model. Further efforts led highly kinome selective 21, which robust PD effect efficacy TLR7 driven model murine psoriasis.
