REV-ERBα has emerged as an important target for regulation of circadian rhythm and its
associated physiology. Herein, we report on the optimization of a series of REV-ERBα
agonists based on GSK4112 (1) for potency, selectivity, and bioavailability. Potent REV-
ERBα agonists 4, 10, 16, and 23 are detailed for their ability to suppress BMAL and IL-6
expression from human cells while also demonstrating excellent selectivity over LXRα.
Amine 4 demonstrated in vivo bioavailability after either iv or oral dosing.
