N,N-Dialkylaminosubstituted chromones and isoxazoles as potential anti-inflammatory agents
摘要:
The ability of some N,N-dialkylaminosubstituted chromones and isoxazoles to inhibit the protein kinase C (PKC) dependent signal transduction pathway was tested. As a cellular model, human neutrophils stimulated with either phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or formylmethionine-leucine-phenylalanine (f-MLF) were used. The efficiency of the compounds was established by their capacity to reduce the O-2(-) production by activated human neutrophils. Compounds carrying a 3-bis(2-methoxyethyl)amino group, a substituent found active in previously tested tricyclic compounds, do not show significant anti-PKC activity in this study. On the other hand, substitution with a 1-piperidinyl group leads all tested compounds to a high biological activity against stimulated neutrophils. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Some unsymmetrical derivatives of benzopyrans 9 were synthesized and tested to verify their PKC inhibitory activity. For this purpose, the Mannich bases of 7-hydroxycoumarins 6 were treated with 2-(dialkylamino)benzopyran-4-ones or 3-(dialkylamino)naphtho[2,1-b]pyran-1-ones 8 in the presence of acetic or propionic anhydride, yielding compounds 9. Human neutrophils stimulated with either PMA and f-MLF
