Endothelin Antagonists: Substituted Mesitylcarboxamides with High Potency and Selectivity for ETA Receptors
摘要:
We have previously disclosed the discovery of 2,4-disubstituted anilinothiophenesulfonamides with potent ETA-selective endothelin receptor antagonism and the subsequent identification of sitaxsentan (TBC11251, 1) as a clinical development compound (Wu et al. J. Med. Chem. 1997, 40, 1682 and 1690). The orally active 1 has demonstrated efficacy in a phase II clinical trial of congestive heart failure (Givertz ct al. Circulation 1998, 98, Abstr. #3044) and was active in rat models of myocardial infarction (Podesser et al. Circulation. 1998, 98, Abstr. #2896) and acute hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (Chen et al. FASEB J. 1996, 10 (3), A104). We now report that an additional substituent at the 6-position of the anilino ring further increases the potency of this series of compounds. It was also found that a wide range of functionalities at the 3-position of the 2,4,6-trisubstituted ring increased ETA selectivity by similar to 10-fold while maintaining in vitro potency, therefore rendering the compounds amenable to fine-tuning of pharmacological and toxicological profiles with enhanced selectivity. The optimal compound in this series was found to be TBC2576 (7u), which has similar to 10-fold higher ETA binding affinity than 1, high ETA/ETB selectivity, and a serum half-life of 7.3 h in rats, as well as in vivo activity.

An efficient synthesis of β-methylsulfonylated N-heterocycles via FeCl3-catalyzed C(sp3)–H dehydrogenation and C(sp2)–H methylsulfonylation of inactivated cyclic amines with the promotion and participation of inorganic sodium metabisulfite and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) has been developed. Notably, bifunctional DCP acted not only as an oxidant to promote the dehydrogenation but also as a methyl radical

through a sequential visible‐light photocatalyzed dehydrogenation/[2+2] cycloaddition procedure. As a complementary approach to the well‐established use of iminium ion and α‐amino radical intermediates, the elusive cyclic enamine intermediates were effectively generated by photoredox catalysis under mild conditions and efficiently captured by acetylene esters to form a wide array of bicyclic amino acid

A novel and efficient synthesis of tetrahydropyridine-, dihydropyrrole-, and tetrahydroazepine-3-carboxylates via cascade reactions of cyclic amines with CO and alcohols is presented. To our knowledge, this should be the first example in which functionalized N-heterocycles were prepared through Pd-catalyzed C(sp3)-H dehydrogenation and C(sp2)-H carbonylation of cyclic amines.

The direct C3 alkylation of indoles and oxindoles is a challenging transformation, and only a few direct methods exist. Utilizing the underexplored ability of triaryl boranes to mediate the heterolytic cleavage of α-nitrogen C–H bonds in amines, we have developed a catalytic approach for the direct C3 alkylation of a wide range of indoles and oxindoles using amine-based alkylating agents. We also employed
were established. The mild reaction conditions make this approach an appealing and versatile strategy to functionalize/oxidize pyrrolidines whereby arylsulfonyl chlorides were identified to be both catalyst regeneration and sulfonylation reagents.
