The synthesis and ΔF508-CFTR corrector activity of a 148-member methylbithiazole-based
library are reported. Synthetic routes were devised and optimized to generate
methylbithiazole analogs in four steps. Corrector potency and efficacy were assayed using
epithelial cells expressing human ΔF508-CFTR. These structure–activity data establish that
the bithiazole substructure plays a critical function; eight novel methylbithiazole correctors
were identified with low micromolar potencies.
