Synthesis and structure–activity relationships of 2-acylamino-4,6-diphenylpyridine derivatives as novel antagonists of GPR54
摘要:
GPR54 is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which was formerly an orphan receptor. Recent functional study of GPR54 revealed that the receptor has an essential role to modulate sex-hormones including GnRH. Though antagonists of GPR54 are expected to be novel drugs for sex-hormone dependent diseases such as prostate cancer or endometriosis, small molecule GPR54 antagonists have not been reported. We have synthesized a series of 2-acylamino-4,6-diphenylpyridines to identify potent GPR54 antagonists. Detailed structure-activity relationship studies led to compound 9l with an IC50 value of 3.7 nM in a GPR54 binding assay, and apparent antagonistic activity in a cellular functional assay.

The present invention provides a compound which has metastin receptor antagonist activity and is useful for preventing and treating hormone-dependent cancer, benign prostatomegaly, endometriosis, precocious puberty, uterine myoma or the like. More specifically, the present invention provides a compound, represented by the formula:
or a salt thereof, a prodrug thereof, and a pharmaceutical agent containing the same; wherein Ring A represents a 5- to 8-membered homocyclic or heterocyclic group optionally having a substituent other than formula —X-R
1
wherein X represents a bond or a spacer, and R
1
represents optionally substituted amino or an optionally substituted nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group; Ring B represents an optionally substituted benzene ring; R
2
represents an optionally substituted homocyclic or heterocyclic group; and R
3
and R
4
independently represent a hydrogen atom, cyano, acyl or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group.
