The discovery of a selective, high affinity A2B adenosine receptor antagonist for the potential treatment of asthma
摘要:
Adenosine has been suggested to play a role in asthma, possibly via activation of A(2B) adenosine receptors on mast cells and other pulmonary cells. We describe our initial efforts to discover a xanthine based selective A(2B) AdoR antagonist that resulted in the discovery of CVT-5440, a high affinity A(2B) AdoR antagonist with good selectivity (A(2B) AdoR K-i = 50 nM, selectivity A(1) > 200: A(2A) > 200: A(3) > 167).

A screening hit that showed a weak (EC50 = 18 mu M), partial agonistic effect on GPR40 was used a prototype for expedited hit expansion effort using a set of advanced building blocks. The latter yielded several 1,3-oxazoles and 1,2,4-oxadiazoles with significantly improved potency (best EC50 = 0.058 mu M). The lead compounds in each chemotype showed a very good ADME profile (aqueous solubility, plasma protein binding, microsomal stability and membrane permeability) and no appreciable inhibition of key cytochromes P450. The compounds reported are significant new starting points for further preclinical development of future diabetic agents with a mechanism of action for which a first-in-class agent is yet to be approved.

New GABA-modulating 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives and their anticonvulsant activity
A series of 3- and 5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives were prepared and tested for anticonvulsant activity in a variety of models. These 1,2,4oxadiazoles exhibit considerable activity in both pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal electroshock seizure (MES) models. Compound 10 was protective in the PTZ model in rats with an oral ED50 of 25.5 mg/kg and in the MES model in rats with an oral ED50 Of 14.6 mg/kg. Neurotoxicity (rotarod) was observed with an ED50 Of 335 mg/kg. We found several oxadiazoles that acted as selective GABA potentiating compounds with no interaction to the benzodiazepine binding site. (c) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
