Pyrazole Bioisosteres of Leflunomide as B-Cell Immunosuppressants for Xenotransplantation and Chronic Rejection: Scope and Limitations
摘要:
T-cell immunosuppressant-based therapies efficiently control early graft rejection in allotransplantation settings. They fail, however, to prevent those rejection events which are mediated by transplant-induced antibody (Ab) responses such as those involved in xenograft and chronic allograft rejection. This is mainly due to their inability to block T-cell-independent Ab production against the transplanted organs. The bioactive metabolite 2(Z) of leflunomide (1) inhibits the formation of such Ab, but the drug has pharmacokinetic properties and a therapeutic window incompatible with transplantation indications. Pyrazole 3, a constrained analogue of 2(Z), was designed and shown to be conformationally and biologically similar to 2(Z). Further investigations with derivatives of 3 demonstrated that the pyrazoles had very tight structure-activity relationships, the only equipotent compound being 3o. However, in contrast to 2(Z), both 3 and 3o were inactive in vivo due to short half-life and drug concentrations lower than the in vitro obtained IC50 values, Compound 3o inhibits T-cell-independent Ab production by a different biochemical mechanism from that of 2(Z) and 3 and may therefore represent a valuable tool for the identification of new targets for B-cell inhibition.

A novel process for preparing aminonitriles is described. Some of the aminonitriles are novel. All the aminonitriles serve as intermediates for preparing isothiazoiyfurea compounds which are useful as herbicides and algicides.
Novel (3-alkyl-5-isothiazolyl) ureas which are useful as aquatic algicides, terrestrial herbicides, and aquatic herbicides, are described herein. The products are prepared from the corresponding 5-amino-3-substituted-isothiazoles with a ureido forming reagent. Further provided are methods of use for these products and formulations comprising these products with an acceptable carrier.

A wide library of 3,7,8,8a-tetrahydro-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyridines has been prepared by simple heating in acetonitrile of beta-enaminonitriles, alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes and 2-aminothiol hydrochlorides. Chemical yields depend on the nature, hindrance, and position of the substituents. The scope, limitations, and stereocontrol associated to this three-component reaction have been studied in detail. In general, the diastereoinduction observed in the three new stereogenic centers generated in the pro-chiral alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehyde is low. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
