Identification of 4-[1-[3-chloro-4-[N’-(5-fluoro-2-methylphenyl)ureido]phenylacetyl]-(4S)-fluoro-(2S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy]benzoic acid as a potent, orally active VLA-4 antagonist
摘要:
Optimization of benzoic acid derivatives by introducing substituents into the diphenyl urea moiety led to the identification of compound 201 as a potent VLA-4 antagonist. Compound 201 inhibited eosinophil infiltration into bronchial alveolar lavage fluid in a murine asthma model by oral dosing and its efficacy was comparable to anti-mouse alpha 4 antibody (R1-2). Furthermore, this compound significantly blocked bronchial hyper-responsiveness in the model. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A PDE4B subtype selective inhibitor is expected to have a wider therapeutic window than non-selective PDE4 inhibitors. In this Letter, two series of 7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d] pyrimidine derivatives and 5,5-dioxo-7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d] pyrimidine derivatives were evaluated for their PDE4B subtype selectivity using human PDE4B2 and PDE4D2 full length enzymes. To improve their PDE4B selectivity over PDE4D, we optimized the substituents on the pyrimidine ring and the side chain phenyl ring, resulting in several derivatives with more than 100-fold selectivity for PDE4B. Consequently, we identified 2-( 3-chloro-4-methoxy-phenyl)-5,5-dioxo-7,8-dihydro-6H-thiopyrano[3,2-d] pyrimidine derivative 54 as a highly selective PDE4B inhibitor, which had potent hPDE4B inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 3.0 nM and 433-fold PDE4B selectivity over PDE4D.
