title: Discovery of potent and orally available malonyl-CoA decarboxylase inhibitors as cardioprotective agents.
abstract: Discovery of 5-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-3-carboxamides as a new class of malonyl-coenzyme A decarboxylase (MCD) inhibitors is described. tert-Butyl 3-(5-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazole-3-carboxamido)butanoate (5, CBM-301940) exhibited excellent potency and in vivo PK/ADME properties. It is the most powerful stimulant of glucose oxidation reported to date in isolated working rat hearts. Compound 5 improved the cardiac efficiency and function in a rat heart global ischemia/reperfusion model, suggesting MCD inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of ischemic heart diseases.
