Isoquinoline derivatives as potent CRTH2 receptor antagonists: Synthesis and SAR
摘要:
Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a novel series of isoquinoline CRTH2 receptor antagonists are described. One of the most potent compounds, TASP0376377 (6m), showed not only potent binding affinity (IC50 = 19 nM) but also excellent functional antagonist activity (IC50 = 13 nM). TASP0376377 was tested for its ability of a chemotaxis assay to show the effectiveness (IC50 = 23 nM), which was in good agreement with the CRTH2 antagonist potency. Furthermore, TASP0376377 showed sufficient selectivity for binding to CRTH2 over the DP1 prostanoid receptor (IC50 > 1 mu M) and COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes (IC50 > 10 mu M). (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has an effect of inhibiting CRTH2 and, therefore, is useful as a pharmaceutical.
In this study, we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a series of isoquinoline chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells (CRTH2) antagonists. TASP0376377 (15-20), one of the most potent compounds, showed a potent binding affinity (IC50 = 19 nM) in addition to the excellent functional antagonist activity (IC50 = 13 nM). Moreover, the efficacy of this compound in a chemotaxis assay (IC50 = 23 nM) was in good agreement with its potency as a CRTH2 antagonist. In addition, 15-20 exhibited greater selectivity in binding to CRTH2 than to the DP1 prostanoid receptor (IC50 > 1 mu M) or the enzymes COX-1 and COX-2 (IC50 > 10 mu M). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
