Abstract
Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) enzymatic activity impacts many aspects critical to cell proliferation and survival. Recently, DHODH has been identified as a target for acute myeloid differentiation therapy. In preclinical models of AML, the DHODH inhibitor Brequinar (BRQ) demonstrated potent anti-leukemic activity. Herein we describe a carboxylic acid isostere study of Brequinar which revealed a more potent non-carboxylic acid derivative with improved cellular potency and good pharmacokinetic properties.
