摘要
We report the discovery and hit-to-lead optimization of a structurally novel indazole series of CYP11B2 inhibitors. Benchmark compound 34 from this series displays potent inhibition of CYP11B2, high selectivity versus related steroidal and hepatic CYP targets, and lead-like physical and pharmacokinetic properties. On the basis of these and other data, the indazole series was progressed to lead optimization for further refinement. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
