Abstact

Fluorination is a well-known strategy for improving the bioavailability of drug molecules. However, its impact on efficacy is not easily predicted. On the basis of inhibitor-bound protein crystal structures, we found a beneficial fluorination spot for inhibitors targeting methionyl-tRNA synthetase of Trypanosoma brucei. In particular, incorporating 5-fluoroimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine into inhibitors leads to central nervous system bioavailability and maintained or even improved efficacy.
