Simedeutirom


Simedeutirom

CAS 2403721-24-2

MF C18H92H3Cl2N6O4 MW 450.25

2-[3,5-Dichloro-4-[[(7R)-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-7-(methyl-d3)-1-oxo-1H-cyclopenta[d]pyridazin-4-yl]oxy]phenyl]-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazine-6-carbonitrile

2-[3,5-dichloro-4-[[(7R)-1-oxo-7-(trideuteriomethyl)-2,5,6,7-tetrahydrocyclopenta[d]pyridazin-4-yl]oxy]phenyl]-3,5-dioxo-1,2,4-triazine-6-carbonitrile

2-(3,5-dichloro-4-{[(7R)-7-(2H3)methyl-1-oxo-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1Hcyclopenta[d]pyridazin-4-yl]oxy}phenyl)-3,5-dioxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,2,4-triazine-6-carbonitrile
thyroid hormone beta receptor agonist, 4G7Z7KQ8GV 

Simedeutirom is a selective, synthetic, deuterium-labeled thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β) agonist. It features a novel cyclopentadd𝑑pyridazine core and is primarily utilized as a specialized tool compound in the biochemical research of metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and related metabolic disorders. 

Core Structural & Pharmacological Profile

  • Target Selectivity: It functions as a potent agonist specifically targeting the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β), with an half-maximal effective concentration (EC₅₀) ranging between 0.1 to 1 μM. THR-β activation plays a foundational role in modulating hepatic lipid metabolism, lowering cholesterol, and regulating overall energy expenditure without heavily triggering the alpha receptor (THR-α), which is associated with adverse cardiac side effects. 
  • Deuterium Labeling: The compound incorporates deuterium (a stable isotope of hydrogen) into its chemical architecture, specifically modified as a trideuteriomethyl group. Isotopic modification or “deuteration” is an established medicinal chemistry approach frequently evaluated to slow metabolic clearance and increase structural stability. 
  • Chemical Identifiers:
    • Molecular Formula: C₁₈H₁₂Cl₂N₆O₄
    • Molecular Weight: 450.25 g/mol
    • CAS Registry Number: 2403721-24-2
    • FDA UNII Code: 4G7Z7KQ8GV 

Research Context & Status

Simedeutirom is categorized under the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) database. However, it is fundamentally classified for in vitro and in vivo research use only. It has not been approved for clinical therapeutic use or direct distribution to patients.

Example 1 Preparation of crude free base of compound I

Step 1: preparation of compound b

N-(3,5-dichloro-4-((7-(methyl-d3)-1-oxo-2,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopenta [d]pyridazin-4-yl)oxy)phenyl)benzamid

 4.62 kg of compound a was completely dissolved in 25.0 L of glacial acetic acid and added to a 100 L reaction kettle, 3300 g of benzoic anhydride was added, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for about 4 hours with stirring turned on. The reaction was monitored by TLC (n-hexane/ethyl acetate=5/1) until compound a disappeared, then 2722 g of anhydrous sodium acetate was additionally added and the temperature was increased to 120° C. for a reaction under stirring for about 18 hours.
      The reaction solution was cooled to 60-65° C., and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove most of the acetic acid. After the concentration was completed, 10 L of anhydrous ethanol was added to the residue and uniformly mixed. Then the mixed solution was slowly added to 250 L of water, while maintaining the rapid stirring, and a large amount of solid precipitated during the addition, and stirring was continued for about 0.5 hours after the addition, followed by centrifugation. The filter cake was washed with purified water (20 L×2) to give compound b in 100% yield, which went directly to the next step.

Rocavorexant

CAS 2115665-09-1

MFC18H19F3N8O MW420.39

N,6-dimethyl-3-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)-N-[(2S)-1-{[5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazin-2-yl]amino}propan-2-yl]pyridine-2-
carboxamide
orexin-1 receptor antagonist, INDV-2000, C4X-3256, INDV 2000, C4X 3256,

Rocavorexant (developmental codes INDV-2000 and C4X-3256) is a potent, selective, oral orexin-1 receptor (OX₁R) antagonist originally developed to treat opioid use disorder and other substance-related disorders.

Clinical development of the drug has been suspended. In April 2026, Indivior announced that it would not advance the drug internally for opioid use disorder because the Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial failed to meet its primary endpoint of “no treatment failure”.

Key Drug Profile

  • Mechanism of Action: Highly selective antagonist for the human orexin-1 receptor (pIC50 of 9.1) compared to the orexin-2 receptor (pIC50 of 6.0).
  • Target Pathway: Aims at relapse-related neural circuitry, anxiety modulation, and stress-induced addictive behaviors.
  • Chemical Formula: C₁₈H₁₉F₃N₈O.
  • Current Status: Suspended internally by Indivior, which is actively seeking external business development and out-licensing opportunities due to positive secondary data regarding abstinence and safet

Rocavorexant (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code names C4X-3256 and INDV-2000) is an orexin OX1 receptor antagonist which is under development for the treatment of opioid-related disorders and other substance-related disorders.[1][2][3][4] It is taken orally.[1] The drug is under development by C4X Discovery and/or Indivior.[1][2] As of May 2026, development for all indications has been suspended.[1] The drug has reached phase 2 clinical trials for opioid-related disorders and phase 1 trials for substance-related disorders.[1][2][4]

Rocavorexant is the antagonist for orexin-1 receptor with pIC50 of 9.1 for human OX1 (while pIC50 for human OX2 is 6.0).

US patent

US 11,130,746 B2 — Therapeutic compounds

US11130746B2 – Google Patents

This is especially relevant because its claims specifically cover processes for preparing the compounds, including:

Route A: reaction of the pyridine acid/lithium salt with an amide-coupling reagent and the chiral amine.

Route B: reaction of
N-[(2S)-1-aminopropan-2-yl]-N,6-dimethyl-3-(2H-1,2,3-triazol-2-yl)pyridine-2-carboxamide
with an appropriate heteroaryl leaving-group compound in the presence of a base.

The patent specifically lists thionyl chloride among the coupling reagents and DIPEA as an appropriate base for the heteroaryl substitution route.

The addition of a radical to a heteroaromatic base is commonly referred to as a Minsici reaction. Such reactions constitute a broad-set of selective CH-functionalization processes. This review describes some of the major applications of Minisci reactions and related processes to medicinal or biological chemistry, and highlights some potential developments within this area.


Introduction

The aim of this review is to summarize the use of Minisci reactions within medicinal chemistry, and to highlight some future opportunities to continue progression of this chemistry. As such, it is not an aim that detailed mechanistic information, or a comprehensive list of examples be described. For this, the reader is directed to excellent articles from Minisci, Harrowven and Bowman.1–3 Rather, the review is written to show that Minisci reactions are extremely valuable CH-functionalization processes within medicinal chemistry. However, their use has been somewhat under-utilized when compared with other well-known selective transformations (e.g. palladium-catalysed cross-couplings). Therefore, it is hoped that in the future, Minisci chemistry will continue to develop, such that the reactions become a staple-set of methods for medicinal and biological chemists alike.

To aid discussion, the review is divided in to several sections. First, some historical perspective is given. This is followed by a discussion of scope and limitations. The main-body of the review describes some specific examples of Minisci reactions and related processes, with a focus on their use within medicinal, or biological chemistry. Finally, brief mention is given to potential future applications, some of which may be beneficial in providing ‘high-content’ diverse libraries for screening.

The Minisci reaction is a named reaction in organic chemistry. It is a radical substitution to an aromatic compound, in particular to a heteroaromatic base, that introduces an alkyl group. The reaction was published about in 1971 by F. Minisci.[1] The aromatic compound is generally electron-deficient and with N-aromatic compounds the nitrogen atom is protonated.[2] A typical reaction is that between pyridine and pivalic acid to 2-tert-butylpyridine with silver nitrate, sulfuric acid and ammonium persulfate. The reaction resembles Friedel-Crafts alkylation but with opposite reactivity and selectivity.[3]

The Minisci reaction proceeds regioselectively and enables the introduction of a wide range of alkyl groups.[4] A side-reaction is acylation.[5] The ratio between alkylation and acylation depends on the substrate and the reaction conditions. Due to the simple raw materials and the simple reaction conditions the reaction has many applications in heterocyclic chemistry.[6][7]

Reaction between pyridine and pivalic acid to 2-tert-butylpyridine

Mechanism

A free radical is formed from the carboxylic acid in an oxidative decarboxylation with silver salts and an oxidizing agent. The oxidizing agent reoxidizes the silver salt. The radical then reacts with the aromatic compound. The ultimate product is formed by rearomatisation. The acylated product is formed from the acyl radical.[4][5]

Billions and billions…of molecules?

I’ve written about the CAS Registry – the enormous database of small and large molecules – on several occasions over my quarter of a century in science communication. It usually comes up when they reach a milestone. Indeed, I remember writing about the day they registered their 10 millionth structure, that was either in The Guardian or New Scientist, don’t remember, it was the early 1990s. I wrote about it much more recently here on the Sciencebase blog back in September 2009 when they reached 50 million structures. How can there be so many chemicals, surely we are approaching some kind of limit? Well, no. We are nowhere near
