Design, Synthesis, and Activity of a Series of Pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic Acid-Based, Highly Specific, Orally Active ETB Antagonists Containing a Diphenylmethylamine Acetamide Side Chain
摘要:
The endothelin (ET)-B receptor subtype is expressed on vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and mediates both vasodilation and vasoconstriction. On the basis of the pharmacophore of the previously reported ETA-specific antagonist 1, (ABT-627), we are reporting the discovery of a novel series of highly specific, orally active ETB receptor antagonists. Replacing the dibutylaminoacetamide group of 1 with a diphenylmethylaminoacetamide group resulted in antagonist 2 with a complete reversal of receptor specificity. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that ortho-alkylation of the phenyl rings could further increase ETB affinity and also boost the ETA/ETB activity ratio of the resulting antagonists. A similar antagonism selectivity profile could also be achieved when one of the phenyl rings of the acetamide side chain was replaced with an alkyl group, preferably a tert-butyl group,(10h). Combining these features with modification of the a-aryl group of the pyrrolidine core, we have identified a potent antagonist (9k, A-308165) with over 27 000-fold selectivity favoring the ETB receptor and an acceptable pharmacokinetic profile (F = 24%) in rats.

Hydrogen bonding in a [2]rotaxane is shown to stabilise the phenolate anion of a coumaric amide chromophore by almost 3 pKa units; however, the effect on the UV spectral shift in the anion is small and, significantly given the photochemistry of PYP, despite the hydrogen bonding olefin photoisomerisation in the anionic rotaxane remains heavily suppressed.
