Synthesis, biochemical evaluation and rationalisation of the inhibitory activity of a range of 4-substituted phenyl alkyl imidazole-based inhibitors of the enzyme complex 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (P45017α)
摘要:
We report the preliminary results of the synthesis, biochemical evaluation and rationalisation of the inhibitory activity of a number of phenyl alkyl imidazole-based compounds as inhibitors of the two components of 17 alpha-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (P450(17 alpha)), that is, 17 alpha-hydroxylase (17 alpha-OHase) and 17,20-lyase (lyase). The results show that N-3-(4-bromophenyl) propyl imidazole (12) (IC50 = 2.95 mu M against 17 alpha-OHase and IC50 = 0.33 mu M against lyase) is the most potent compound within the current study, in comparison to ketoconazole (KTZ) (IC50 = 3.76 mu M against 17 alpha-OHase and IC50 = 1.66 mu M against lyase). Modelling of these compounds suggests that the length of the alkyl chain enhances the interaction between the inhibitor and the area of the active site corresponding to the C(3) area of the steroid backbone, thereby increasing potency.

Substituted 2-phenethyl-1,2,4-triazoles, 1-phenethylimidazoles 3 and 1-phenethylbenzimidazoles 5 were synthesized from the reaction of compound 8 with tri-n-butyltinhydride in good yield. The reaction of substituted-2-phenethyl halide with 1H-1,2,4-triazoles, imidazoles and benzimidazoles gave a low yield. The yield was increased by the use of substituted-2-phenethyl p-toluensulfonate.

Six-membered photochemical cyclisations of 2-iodo-N-(2-arylethyl)imidazoles proceeded regioselectively in higher yields than the equivalent tin hydride-mediated reactions. The decrease in yield of cyclisation products, 5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-a]isoquinolines containing strongly deactivating substituents on the aryl ring confirmed the electrophilic nature of the sigma-imidazol-2-yl radicals. The seven-membered
