4,5-Dialkylsubstituted 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidine derivatives as potent inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibitors
摘要:
In the course of our search for selective iNOS inhibitors, we have previously reported that 2-imino-1,3-oxazolidine derivatives (1) and 2-aminothiazole derivatives (2) are selective iNOS inhibitors. In order to find more potent iNOS inhibitors, we focused our efforts on the synthesis and evaluation of the inhibitory activity against iNOS and selectivity for iNOS both in vitro and in vivo of a series of 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidine derivatives (3), which are analogues of I and 2. Our results show that among the compounds synthesized (4R,5R)-5-ethyl-2-imino-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolidine [(4R,5R)-14a: ES-1537] exhibited potent inhibitory activity and selectivity for iNOS. In addition, ES-1537 had good pharmacokinetic profile in rats with BA value of 80%. It is therefore expected that ES-1537 may be therapeutically useful for the treatment of diseases related to excess production of NO. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Enantiomericallypure anti-β-amino alcohols were synthesized from optically pure α-(N,N-dibenzylamino)benzyl esters, derived from α-amino acids, by the sequential reduction to aldehyde with DIBAL-H at −78 °C and subsequent in situ addition of Grignard reagents. Besides anti-β-amino alcohols, anti-2-amino-1,3-diols and anti-3-amino-1,4-diols were obtained in good yields (60–95%) and excellent stereoselectivity
Complementary selectivity can be achieved in ring opening reactions of 2-aziridinemethanols by using either the Gilman reagent or lower order cyanocuprate. In the former case, the usual attack of the Gilman reagent to the substrates 1 and 2 results in the formation of the expected ring opening products (3 and 4) and (7 and 8), respectively. In contrast, exposure of both 1 and 2 to the lower order cyanocuprate
In our search for a novel class of inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, 1,3-oxazolidin-2-imine was found to weakly inhibit iNOS. Further modifications of this compound resulted in a remarkable increase in both the in vivo and in vitro inhibitory activity and selectivity for iNOS. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Aza-Payne Rearrangement of Activated 2-Aziridinemethanols and 2,3-Epoxy Amines under Basic Conditions
An aza-Payne rearrangement of activated 2-aziridinemethanols with t-BuOK, NaH, or KH at near 0 degrees C in common solvents such as THF, toluene, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, 1,4-dioxane, or a mixed solvent of THF-HMPA followed by quenching at -78 degrees C gives the corresponding epoxysulfonamides. Exposure of N-tosyl-(2S)-azetidinemethanol (36) and N-tosyl-(S)-prolinol (37) to NaH or KH in dichloromethane yielded only the respective dimeric compounds that resulted by joining 2 equiv of reactant through a methylene group. Reaction of N-tosyl-(2S,3S)-3-methyl-2-aziridinemethanol (9) and its (2R,3S)-isomer 23 with Gilman reagents (R(2)CuLi; R = Me and Bu) or ''higher order'' cuprates [R(2)Cu(CN)Li-2; R = Me and Bu] yielded the two expected aziridine ring-opening products. In sharp contrast, treatment of 9 and 23 with ''lower order'' cuprates afforded rearrangement-opened products. Thus, if the nucleophile is highly reactive, then the expected nucleophilic ring opening of the aziridine predominates. However, if the nucleophile is less reactive, then it becomes possible to cleave the resulting rearranged epoxide. Upon exposure of 2,3-epoxy amines to an equimolar mixture of t-BuOK-n-BuLi in a mixed solvent of THF and n-hexane at -78 degrees C, the equilibrium lies exclusively toward the hydroxy aziridine forming direction.
