Novel Antiarthritic Agents with 1,2-Isothiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (γ-Sultam) Skeleton: Cytokine Suppressive Dual Inhibitors of Cyclooxygenase-2 and 5-Lipoxygenase
摘要:
Various 1,2-isotkiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (gamma-sultam) derivatives containing an antioxidant moiety, 2i6-di-tert-butylphenol substituent, were prepared. Some compounds, which have a lower alkyl group at the 2-position of the gamma-sultam skeleton, showed potent inhibitory effects on both cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), as well as production of interleukin (IL)-1 in in vitro assays. They also proved to be effective in several animal arthritic models without any ulcerogenic activities. Among these compounds, (E)-(5)-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyliclene)-2-ethyl-1,2-isothiazolidine-1, (S-2474) was selected as an antiarthritic drug candidate and is now under clinical trials. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) examined and some pharmacological evaluations are described.
Cross coupling of 3-bromopyridine and sulfonamides (R1NHSO2R2·R1=H, Me, alkyl; R2=alkyl and aryl) catalyzed by CuI/1,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)propane-1,3-dione
摘要:
N-(3-Pyridinyl)-substituted secondary and tertiary sulfonamides have been synthesized in good to excellent yields by the reaction of 3-bromopyridine with primary and secondary alkyl and aryl sulfonamides (MeSO2NH2, MeSO2NHMe, TolSO(2)NH(2), TolSO(2)NHMe, 1,3-propanesultam, and 1,4-butanesultam), catalyzed by CuI (20 mol %) and 1,3-di(pyridin-2-yl)propane-1,3-dione (20 mol %) with K2CO3 (200 mol %) in DMF (0.17 M for ArBr) at 110-120 degrees C over 36-40 h. 2-Bromopyridine, 4-bromopyridine, and a wide variety of substituted phenyl bromides can also be successfully coupled with sulfonamides under these reaction conditions.
