Selective Angiotensin II AT2 Receptor Agonists: Arylbenzylimidazole Structure−Activity Relationships
摘要:
Structural alterations in the 2- and 5-positions of the first drug-like selective angiotensin II AT(2) receptor agonist (1) have been performed. The imidazole ring system was proven to be a strong determinant for the AT(2) selectivity, and with few exceptions all variations gave good AT(2) receptor affinities and with retained high AT(2)/AT(1) selectivities. On the contrary to the findings with AT(1) receptor agonists, the impact of structural modifications in the 5-position of the AT(2) selective compounds were less pronounced regarding activation of the AT(2) receptor. The butyloxyphenyl (56) and the propylthienyl (50) derivatives were found to exert a high agonistic effect as deduced from their capacity to induce neurite elongation in neuronal cells, as does angiotensin II.

A fast, mild and selective method for deprotection of tert-butyl aryl sulfonamides utilizing BCl3 as deprotection reagent has been developed. A variety of tert-butyl aryl sulfonamides used under these conditions gave the corresponding primary sulfonamides in high yields. The method does not cleave methoxy groups and prevents incorporation of tert-butyl groups onto electron-rich aromatic rings.
