Abstract

Hepcidin has emerged as the central regulatory molecule in systemic iron homeostasis. The inhibition of hepcidin may be a favorable strategy for the treatment of anemia of chronic disease. Here, we have reported the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of a series of 4-aminopyrimidine compounds as inhibitors of hepcidin production. The optimization study of 1 led to the design of a potent and bioavailable inhibitor of hepcidin production, 34 (DS42450411), which showed serum hepcidin-lowering effects in a mouse model of interleukin-6-induced acute inflammation.
