Atropisomerism in Medicinal Chemistry: Challenges and Opportunities

Open access
Toenjes, Sean T, Gustafson, Jeffrey L·2018·Future Medicinal Chemistry

Abstract

Atropisomerism is a dynamic type of axial chirality that is ubiquitous in medicinal chemistry. There are several examples of stable atropisomeric US FDA-approved drugs and experimental compounds, and in each case the atropisomers of these compounds possess drastically different biological activities. Rapidly interconverting atropisomerism is even more prevalent, and while such compounds are typically considered achiral, they bind their protein targets in an atroposelective fashion, with the nonrelevant atropisomer contributing little to the desired activities. It has been recently demonstrated that various properties of an interconverting atropisomer can be modulated through the synthesis of atropisomer stable and pure analogs. Herein we discuss examples of atropisomerism in drug discovery as well as challenges and opportunities moving forward.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
