Inhibition of mutant IDH1 is being evaluated clinically as a treatment option for oncology. Here we describe the structure-based design and optimization of quinoline lead compounds to identify , a potent, orally bioavailable, brain penetrant, and selective mIDH1 inhibitor. has excellent ADME/PK properties and reduces 2-hydroxyglutarate levels in an mIDH1 xenograft tumor model.

Inhibition of mutant IDH1 (mIDH1) with small molecules has been clinically validated as a promising therapeutic treatment for acute myeloid leukemia and multiple solid tumors. Herein, we report the discovery and optimization of a series of quinolinones to provide potent and orally bioavailable mIDH1 inhibitors with selectivity over wild-type IDH1.
