To curb O -glucuronidation at that position, a gem-dimethyl group was incorporated, which not only boosted metabolic stability but also resulted in increased potency of “compound 17” An earlier example of how to manage glucuronidation by steric hindrance is illustrated in “compound 25” in the paper by Zhang et al.,

Metabolism of macrocyclic drugs

Metabolite Tales Blog

Not only this, the reduction in rotatable bonds and consequent reduction in susceptibility to metabolism is an additional benefit [4]. The resulting macrocyclic structure was found to be associated with improved metabolic stability and low propensity for P-gp efflux compared to the acyclic analog [13]. Nagasaka et al.,
