In this communication, we report the discovery of 1S (apremilast), a novel potent and orally active phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) and tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor. The optimization of previously reported 3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propionic acid PDE4 inhibitors led to this series of sulfone analogues. Evaluation of the structure−activity relationship of substitutions
在本次交流中,我们报告了1S(阿premilast)的发现,这是一种新型的有效口服活性磷酸二酯酶4(PDE4)和肿瘤坏死因子-α抑制剂。先前报道的3-(1,3-二氧代-1,3-二氢异吲哚-2-基)-3-(3,4-二甲氧基苯基)丙酸PDE4抑制剂的优化导致了这一系列的砜类似物。对邻苯二甲酰亚胺基团上取代基的结构活性关系的评估导致了乙酰氨基类似物1S的发现,目前正在临床试验中。
