Hepcidin has emerged as the central regulatory molecule of systemic iron homeostasis. Inhibition of hepcidin could be a strategy favorable to treating anemia of chronic disease (ACD). We report herein the synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of a series of benzisoxazole compounds as orally active hepcidin production inhibitors. The optimization study of multi kinase inhibitor 1 led to a potent and bioavailable hepcidin production inhibitor 38 (DS79182026), which showed serum hepcidin lowering effects in a mouse IL-6 induced acute inflammatory model.

DS79182026的发现：一种有效的口服活性铁调素生产抑制剂

铁调素已成为全身铁稳态的主要调节分子。抑制铁调素可能是一种有利于治疗慢性疾病性贫血（ACD）的策略。我们在此报告了一系列作为口服活性铁调素生产抑制剂的苯并异恶唑化合物的合成和构效关系（SAR）。对多激酶抑制剂1的优化研究导致了有效的，可生物利用的铁调素生产抑制剂38（DS79182026），该抑制剂在小鼠IL-6诱导的急性炎症模型中显示出降低铁调素的作用。
