Identification of biaryl sulfone derivatives as antagonists of the histamine H3 receptor: Discovery of (R)-1-(2-(4′-(3-methoxypropylsulfonyl)biphenyl-4-yl)ethyl)-2-methylpyrrolidine (APD916)
2012
Abstract The design of a new clinical candidate histamine-H 3 receptor antagonist for the potential treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is described. Phenethyl- R -2-methylpyrrolidine containing biphenylsulfonamide compounds were modified by replacement of the sulfonamide linkage with a sulfone. One compound from this series, 2j (APD916) increased wakefulness in rodents as measured by polysomnography with a duration of effect consistent with its pharmacokinetic properties. The identification of a suitable salt form of 2j allowed it to be selected for further development.
