Discovery, Biological Evaluation, and Structure−Activity Relationship of Amidine Based Sphingosine Kinase Inhibitors
摘要:
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), a potent phospholipid growth and trophic factor, is synthesized in vivo by two sphingosine kinases. Thus these kinases have been proposed as important drug targets for treatment of hyperproliferative diseases and inflammation. We report here a new class of amidine-based sphingosine analogues that are competitive inhibitors of sphingosine kinases exhibiting varying degrees of enzyme selectivity. These inhibitors display K(I) values in the submicromolar range for both sphingosine kinases and, in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells, decrease S1P levels and initiate growth arrest.

A one-pot two-step microwaveassistedsynthesis of variously disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazoles from carboxylic acids and amidoximes is reported. This methodology is characterized by short reaction times, is versatile, robust and high-yielding and allows for the preparation of heterocycles with a stereocenter with 100% enantiomeric purity.

The synthesis of a new class of 1,2,4-oxadiazole-linked orthogonally urethane-protected dipeptide mimetics is described. The protocol employs a reaction between an N-protected amino acyl fluoride and an amino acid-derived amidoxime. All the three commonly employed urethanes have been used in this protocol for N-protection. The course of the reaction was found to be high yielding and all new compounds were well characterized by NMR and mass spectroscopy. The C-acyl amidoxime intermediate has also been isolated as a stable solid. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
