Original 2-(3-Alkoxy-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidine Derivatives as Inhibitors of Human Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (DHODH)
摘要:
From a research program aimed at the design of new chemical entities followed by extensive screening on various models of infectious diseases, an original series of 2-(3-alkoxy-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidines endowed with notable antiviral properties were found. Using a whole cell measles virus replication assay, we describe here some aspects of the iterative process that, from 2-(4-benzyl-3-ethoxy-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidine, led to 2-(4-(2,6-difluorophenoxy)-3-isopropoxy-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-ethylpyrimidine and a 4000-fold improvement of antiviral activity with a subnanomolar level of inhibition. Moreover, recent precedents in the literature describing antiviral derivatives acting at the level of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway led us to determine that the mode of action of this series is based on the inhibition of the cellular dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), the fourth enzyme of this pathway. Biochemical studies with recombinant human DHODH led us to measure IC50 as low as 13 nM for the best example of this original series when using 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-1,4-benzoquinone (coenzyme Q(1)) as a surrogate for coenzyme Q(10), the cofactor of this enzyme.
A novel, straightforward, and highly regioselective 4-chlorination of 3-oxypyrazole derivatives in boiling thionyl chloride (SOCl2) in the presence of catalytic N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) has been developed. This reaction likely proceeds through a DMF-catalyzed electrophilic/nucleophilic chlorination mechanism and involves electrophilic attack by SOCl2 and nucleophilic substitution by Cl– as the key

A practical, efficient and inexpensive method of synthesis of iodopyrazoles by the reaction of pyrazoles with iodine using n-butyltriphenylphosphonium peroxodisulfate as an oxidant at room temperature is reported. The use of n-butyltriphenylphosphonium peroxodisulfate is feasible due to its easy preparation and handling, high stability and activity.

Following our discovery of human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibition by 2-(3-alkoxy-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidine derivatives as well as 2-(4-benzyl-3-ethoxy-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-5-methylpyridine, we describe here the syntheses and evaluation of an array of azine-bearing analogues. As in out previous report, the structure activity study of this series of human DHODH inhibitors was based on a phenotypic assay measuring measles virus replication. Among other inhibitors, this round of syntheses and biological evaluation iteration led to the highly active 5-cyclopropyl-2-(4-(2,6-difluorophenoxy)-3-isopropoxy-5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-fluoropyridine. Inhibition of DHODH by this compound was confirmed in an array of in vitro assays, including enzymatic tests and cell-based assays for viral replication and cellular growth. This molecule was found to be more active than the known inhibitors of DHODH, brequinar and teriflunomide, thus opening perspectives for its Use as a tool or for the design of an original series of immunosuppressive agent. Moreover, because other Series of inhibitors of human DHODH have been found to also affect Plasmodium falciparum DHODH, all the compounds were assayed for their effect on P. falciparum growth. However, the modest in vitro inhibition solely observed for two compounds did not correlate with their inhibition of P. falciparum DHODH.
