Inhibition of CYP11B1 is a promising therapy for severe diseases caused by excessive cortisol. Enantiomer discrimination provides clues to achieve selectivity that CYP11B1 and homologous CYP11B2 were selectively bound byS- andR-fadrozole, respectively, in distinct binding modes. Pyridyl 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methanobenzo[d]isoxazoles showing a similar binding mode toS-fadrozole in CYP11B1 were designed as potent and selective CYP11B1 inhibitors. Compound7aaexhibited a highly potent CYP11B1 inhibition similar to that of the drug osilodrostat (IC50’s of 9 and 6 nM, respectively) but was 1500-fold more selective over CYP11B2 compared to osilodrostat (selectivity factors of 125versus0.08, respectively). Strong reductions of plasma cortisol concentrations by compound7aawere demonstrated in rats without interference in aldosterone production after oral application. It showed no inhibition against a panel of steroidogenic and hepatic CYP enzymes. Exhibiting a good pharmacokinetic profile, compound7aawas considered as a drug candidate for further development.
