Conversion of systemically-distributed triazole-based stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) uHTS hits into liver-targeted SCD inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Nov 1;21(21):6505-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.08.073. Epub 2011 Aug 25.

Abstract

It has been demonstrated that once-a-day dosing of systemically-distributed SCD inhibitors leads to adverse events in eye and skin. Herein, we describe our efforts to convert a novel class of systemically-distributed potent triazole-based uHTS hits into liver-targeted SCD inhibitors as a means to circumvent chronic toxicity.
