a prodrug, must undergo a Phase I metabolic transformation (ester hydrolysis) to “reveal” the underlying ionizable carboxylic acid.
Part B: The active form of fenofibrate (carboxylic acid) contains a para chloro substituent
on the aromatic hydrocarbon. Fibrates with a para chloro substituent have a significantly longer half-life than those that do not have a para chloro substituent or chloro containing substituent.

11. Part A: The replacement of the secondary aromatic amine with a methylene group is an example of a classic divalent isosteric modification. Although the size of a methylene group is similar to that of a secondary amine, its solubility and electronic properties are very dif­ferent. The secondary aromatic amine is more water soluble than the methylene group and can participate in hydrogen bonds (as both a donor and an acceptor), ion-dipole bonds (as the dipole), and dipole-dipole bonds. Additionally, the lone pair of electrons on this amine can contribute to resonance through its ability to donate electrons into the two adjacent aromatic rings. In contrast, the methylene group is more lipid soluble and cannot form hydrogen bonds, ion-dipole bonds, or dipole-dipole bonds. It can participate in van der Waals interactions; however, this binding interaction is very different from that of the original secondary aromatic amine. Therefore, this isosteric change would be expected to alter the ability of dasatinib to interact with/bind to its biological target.
Part B: The replacement of a chloro group with a methyl group is an example of a classic
monovalent isosteric modification. As discussed in Chapter 8, aromatic rings with elec­tron withdrawing groups (such as the chloro group) are less likely to undergo aromatic oxidation than are unsubstituted rings or those with electron donating groups (such as a methyl group). Therefore, this isosteric change would most likely lead to an increase in aro­matic hydroxylation, which could then be followed by Phase II conjugation. Additionally, this isosteric change adds a methyl group that can easily be oxidized to either a benzylic hydroxyl group or a carboxylic acid. The removal of the electron withdrawing chloro group also makes the other ortho methyl group more susceptible to oxidation. In summary, this isosteric change would be expected to increase the rate of metabolism of dasatinib and decrease its duration of action.

12. Part A: The initials SAR represent a Structural Activity Relationship, a term that literally defines the relationship between the chemical structure of a drug molecule and the physi­ologic, pharmacological, pharmacokinetic, and therapeutic effects it provides. The struc­ture of a drug molecule refers to its functional groups and their stereochemical orientation to one another. The activity of a drug molecule can refer to its pharmacological actions, its route of administration, its ability to bind to specific receptors, its ability to be metabolized by a specific pathway (or not), its duration of action, and/or its ability to cause specific drug interactions or adverse effects.
Part B: The most important component of any SAR is the why or how component. Without
this component, an SAR simply becomes something to memorize. Stating that “Drug A has a higher affinity for its target receptor than any other drug in its pharmacological class” does not allow for any application, nor does it provide any information to design any addi­tional drugs. An example of a more complete, and proper, SAR would state, “The structure of Drug A contains a hydrogen bond acceptor meta to the acidic functional group on the aromatic ring. This greatly enhances the affinity of Drug A for its target receptor.”

If there are two or more chiral carbon atoms, then it is possible for the drug to have dias-
tereomeric forms. In the case of aliskiren, there are four chiral carbon atoms; therefore, there are a lot of potential diastereomeric forms. A quick reminder on how to determine if a pair of isomers is diastereomeric: If one chiral carbon is held constant (e.g., R-isomer) and you vary at least one additional chiral carbon, then the pair of isomers will be dia­stereomeric to one another. In the example below, the chiral center that is circled is held constant and the (*) chiral center is varied. The pair of isomers drawn are diastereomers.
For geometric isomers to be possible, there must be restricted rotation around a carbon-
carbon bond (e.g., presence of a double bond or alicyclic ring). Evaluation of aliskiren reveals the absence of double bonds and alicyclic rings; therefore, geometric isomers cannot exist.

3. Oral bioavailability depends on the drug’s ability to dissolve in the aqueous contents of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and its ability to cross the lipid bilayer membrane. The hydro­philic character of the drug promotes aqueous solubility. Evaluation of the entire molecule (not just the boxed functional groups) for hydrophilic character reveals two ethers, two amides, a primary amine (in its ionized form), and a secondary alcohol that contribute meaningfully to the hydrophilic character of the drug. (N OTE: the drug is sold as a hemifu­marate salt that further increases the overall water solubility of the drug). The hydrophobic character of the drug promotes absorption across the lipid bilayer. Evaluation of the entire molecule (not just the boxed functional groups) for hydrophobic character reveals an aro­matic hydrocarbon, a lipophilic ether, and several aliphatic alkanes. The drug is formulated as a water-soluble salt and has ample hydrophilic character. Unfortunately, it does not have sufficient hydrophobic character to allow for meaningful absorption.

5. Functional groups mimicking Leu and Val are circled. The nonhydrolyzable hydroxyethyl­ene group is boxed.
6. It is important to first determine whether these drugs are basic, acidic, or amphoteric in nature. Based on a structural evaluation of the entire aliskiren molecule (not just the boxed functional groups), there is one basic functional group (primary amine) and no acidic functional groups present. The same evaluation for amlodipine yields identification of two basic functional groups (primary amine and dihydropyridine ring) and no acidic functional groups. Based on this evaluation, both drugs are basic, and both would be bound to α1-acid glycoprotein (plasma protein). It is important to remember that plasma protein binding interactions are likely to happen when a drug is > 90% plasma protein bound. Given the extent to which amlodipine is plasma protein bound, it is highly likely that a plasma protein binding interaction will occur when aliskiren displaces amlodipine from the glycoprotein binding site. When this type of interaction occurs, there is a greater fraction of amlodipine present in its unbound form. This leads to an increase in pharmacological activity, resulting in hypotension (excessively low blood pressure).

Aripiprazole (Level 1)
1. Acidic and basic function groups are identified along with ranges and ionization state at
pH = 5.6.
2. All other functional groups are identified along with their water or lipid nature.
3. The tertiary amine, aromatic amine, amide, and ether oxygen atom provide ad equate water solubility that allows aripiprazole to dissolve in the aqueous contents of the gastrointesti­nal (GI) tract. Once dissolved, aripiprazole must pass through the GI mucosal membrane to enter the blood stream. The dichloro phenyl ring, the alkyl chain, and the hydrocarbon portion of the bicyclic ring provide adequate lipid solubility to allow for absorption. The ter­tiary amine is primarily ionized within the GI tract, whereas the aromatic amine is primarily unionized once it leaves the stomach. Remember that ionization is an equilibrium process with some fraction of unionized molecules present at all times. According to Le Chatelier’s principle, as soon as one unionized molecule passes through the GI membrane, the equilib­rium resets to provide additional unionized molecules. This same principle also allows ion­izable functional groups to penetrate the blood brain barrier and enter the central nervous system (CNS). The same functional groups that allowed aripiprazole to pass through the GI mucosal membrane also provide sufficient lipid solubility to allow it to cross the blood brain barrier and reach its target receptors within the CNS.
4. Aromatic amines are much less basic than primary, secondary, and tertiary aliphatic or alicyclic amines. The reason for this decreased basicity lies in the fact that an aromatic amine can donate its lone pair of electrons, through resonance, into the aromatic ring, thus
APPENDIX - ANSWERS TO CHAPTER QUESTIONS 469

making these electrons less available to bind with a proton. Within the structure of ari­piprazole, the nitrogen atom of the aromatic amine is directly adjacent to ortho and meta chlorine atoms. Chlorine has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen and, through induc­tion, each acts as an electron withdrawing group. This further decreases the availability of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen, resulting in a decrease in basicity. Thus, the pKa for this particular aromatic amine would be expected to be at the lower end of this range (i.e., closer to 2).
5. The answer here is No. Tolbutamide and losartan are acidic drug molecules due to the pres­ence of an acidic sulfonylurea and a tetrazole functional group, respectively. Aripiprazole is a basic drug molecule due to the presence of a tertiary amine and an aromatic amine. Acidic drug molecules primarily bind to albumin whereas basic drug molecules primarily bind to α1-glycoprotein. Plasma protein binding interactions (also known as plasma pro­tein displacement interactions) occur due to the nonspecific nature of the plasma proteins that bind and transport drug molecules. These types of interactions are only therapeuti­cally important when the drug molecules are highly plasma protein bound (i.e., > 90%). Although this is true of all three drugs, the difference in their acid/base nature significantly decreases the probability of a drug interaction due to plasma protein displacement.
Shown below are two examples of water-soluble organic salts using lactic acid and citric
6. acid. There are several other water-soluble organic acids that could be used (e.g., fumaric acid, malic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid).
7. There are only two methylene groups that would be expected to generate a chiral center via metabolism: the benzylic carbon atom and the carbon atom adjacent to the sp2 car­bonyl. Oxidation at either of these two positions adds a hydroxyl group and generate a chiral center. Oxidation of carbon atoms 1 to 5 leads to oxidative N-dealkylation and the initial formation of an aldehyde. Similarly, oxidation of carbon atom 8 leads to oxidative O-dealkylation and the initial formation of an aldehyde. Oxidation of methylene groups in the middle of an alkyl chain and adjacent to an sp3 hybridized center generally does not occur.
8. One example is shown below. Other binding interactions are possible among these four functional groups and four amino acids. Isoleucine could form van der Waals and hydropho­bic interactions with the halogenated aromatic ring, whereas tyrosine could form the same
470 BASIC CONCEPTS IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
types of interactions with the alkyl chain. Aspartic acid could form an ion–dipole interaction (as the ion) with the amide, whereas glutamine could form an ion–dipole interaction (as the dipole) with the ionized tertiary amine. Please note that it is possible for tyrosine to form hydrogen bonds with the amide and an ion–dipole interaction (as the dipole) with the ion­ized tertiary amine. However, in the scenario given in this question, if tyrosine were used to form an interaction with either the amide or the ionized tertiary amine, neither aspartic acid nor glutamine could be used to form van der Waals and hydrophobic interactions with the halogenated aromatic ring.
9. Metabolite A: Aromatic oxidation, Phase I
Note: This is somewhat of an unexpected metabolite because the presence of halogen
substituents on the aromatic ring generally deactivates these rings from oxidation. The difference in this particular drug molecule is the presence of an adjacent aromatic amine. This aromatic amine can donate electrons into the ring via resonance and either override or
neutralize the electronic effects of the chloro groups, thus allowing for aromatic oxidation. Metabolite B: Benzylic oxidation, Phase I Note: Due to the ability to form a conjugated system, this secondary hydroxyl group read-
ily undergoes dehydration to form the following metabolite.
Metabolite C: Oxidative N-dealkylation followed by oxidation of the resulting aldehyde to
a carboxylic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase, Phase I

2. Cefprozil contains two acidic functional groups (phenol and carboxylic acid) and one basic functional group (primary amine). Because this drug contains both acidic and basic func­tional groups, it is considered amphoteric in nature.

4. Drug absorption is enhanced as hydrophobic character is increased. Cefprozil contains sev­eral hydrophobic functional groups, including the aromatic ring portion of the phenol, the thioether and the alkenes. In the stomach (pH = 1) the carboxylic acid and the phenol are predominantly unionized; however, the primary amine is primarily ionized. In the intestine (pH = 8) the phenol and the primary amine are unionized and the carboxylic acid is pri­marily ionized. This means that cefprozil will always be predominantly in an ionized form regardless of the GI location. A quick reminder: An equilibrium exists between the ionized form and the unionized form of a drug molecule. In the case of cefprozil only a small frac­tion of the drug is completely unionized at any point regardless of its location within the GI tract. When cefprozil is in its unionized form, there is sufficient hydrophobic character to permit the drug to cross the lipid bilayer membranes of the GI tract and enter systemic circulation. Based on this evaluation, it is possible that drug absorption can occur in both GI compartments.
5. As described in Chapter 7, geometric isomers are not mirror images of one another and are not superimposable. These isomers are a result of the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond. This double bond causes conformational restriction and forces the double bond substituents to be positioned in one of two orientations. Either the methyl group and the bulk of the cefprozil molecule are on opposite sides of the double bond (E geometric isomer) or they are on the same side of the double bond (Z geometric isomer). Geometric isomers have different physical and chemical properties. In this example, the geometric isomers have the same pharmacological action. In general, geometric isomers may have similar or different pharmacological activities. NOTE: In the case of cefprozil, the E-isomer is predominant and has much more activity against gram (-) organisms than the Z-isomer.

6. There are three chiral centers within the structure of cefprozil. Because there is more than one chiral center, diastereomers are possible. Diasteromeric pairs occur when one chiral center is held constant (e.g., S-enantiomer) and another chiral center changes stereochem­ical orientation (e.g., from R-enantiomer to S-enantiomer). In the case of cefprozil, diaster­omeric pairs occur when two centers are held constant and the third chiral center changes stereochemical orientation or when one center is held constant and the other two chiral centers change stereochemical orientations. Diastereomers are not superimposable (like enantiomers) and are not mirror images (unlike enantiomers). Diastereomers are expected to have different physical and chemical properties.
