Design and synthesis of 4-aryl-4-oxobutanoic acid amides as calpain inhibitors
摘要:
The involvement of mu-calpain in neurological disorders, such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease has attracted considerable interest in the use of calpain inhibitors as therapeutic agents. 4-Aryl-4-oxobutanoic acid amide derivatives 4 were designed as acyclic variants of mu-calpain inhibitory chromone and quinolinone derivatives. Of the compounds synthesized, 4c-2, which possesses a 2-methoxymethoxy group at the phenyl ring and a primary amide at the warhead region most potently inhibited mu-calpain (IC50 = 0.34 mu M). Our findings suggest that the 4-aryl-4-oxobutanoic acid amide derivatives should be considered as a new family of mu-calpain inhibitors. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
