Synthesis and Structure−Activity Relationships of N-(2-Oxo-3-oxetanyl)amides as N-Acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing Acid Amidase Inhibitors
摘要:
The fatty acid ethanolamides (FAEs) are a family of bioactive lipid mediators that include the endogenous agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). FAEs are hydrolyzed intracellularly by either fatty acid amide hydrolase or N-acylethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase (NAAA). Selective inhibition of NAAA by (S)-N-(2-oxo-3-oxetanyl)-3-phenylpropionamide [(S)-OOPP, 7a] prevents PEA degradation in mouse leukocytes and attenuates responses to proinflammatory stimuli. Starting from the structure of 7a, a series of beta-lactones was prepared and tested on recombinant rat NAAA to explore structure-activity relationships (SARs) for this class of inhibitors and improve their in vitro potency. Following the hypothesis that these compounds inhibit NAAA by acylation of the catalytic cysteine, we identified several requirements for recognition at the active site and obtained new potent inhibitors. In particular, (S)-N-(2-oxo-3-oxetanyl)biphenyl-4-carboxamide (7h) was more potent than 7a at inhibiting recombinant rat NAAA activity (7a, IC(50) = 420 nM; 7h, IC(50) = 115 nM) in vitro and at reducing carrageenan-induced leukocyte infiltration in vivo.
The coupling reactions of 3-phenylpropanoic acid and N-carboxybenzyl α-aminoacids with unprotected α-aminoacids containing hydrophilic side chains such as aliphatic alcohol, aromatic alcohol, thiol, carboxylic acid, and amide afforded the corresponding amides in 66–96% yield without racemization via the corresponding mixed carbonic carboxylic anhydrides under basic conditions through an ecological

Carboxylic acids 1 and 7 reacted effectively with unprotected α-amino acids 2 containing another hydrophilic moiety under basic conditions via activation by ethyl chloroformate and triethylamine to afford the corresponding amides in 74–99% yields.

Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are contemplated that inhibit N-acyl-ethanolamine-hydrolyzing acid amidase (NAAA) to so increase the concentration of the substrate of NAAA, palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). NAAA inhibition is contemplated to be effective to alleviate conditions associated with a reduced concentration of PEA. Among other uses, various NAAA inhibitors are especially contemplated as therapeutic agents in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
考虑使用抑制 N-酰基乙醇胺水解酸酰胺酶(NAAA)的化合物和药物组合物,以提高 NAAA 底物棕榈酰乙醇酰胺(PEA)的浓度。NAAA 抑制可有效缓解与 PEA 浓度降低有关的状况。除其他用途外,特别考虑将各种 NAAA 抑制剂作为治疗炎症性疾病的治疗剂。
