Short-acting 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives as orally-active calcium-sensing receptor antagonists

Synthesis and structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies on 5-trifluoromethylpyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, a novel class of calcium receptor antagonists is described with particular emphasis on optimization of the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic parameters required for a short duration of action compound. Orally-active compounds were identified which displayed the desired animal pharmacology (rapid and transient stimulation of parathyroid hormone) essential for bone anabolic effects.

Structure–activity relationship studies, focused on the optimization of pharmacology and pharmacokinetics, are described for a series of short-acting 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives and calcium-sensing receptor antagonists.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
