microsomes, respectively. They display a 4-fold increased binding affinity towards the target kinase as well as similar in vitro potency and ex vivo efficacy relative to their 2-alkylsulfanylimidazole counterparts ML3403 and LN950. For example, 2-alkylimidazole 2, the analog of LN950, inhibits both the p38α MAP kinase as well as the LPS-stimulated tumor necrosis factor-α release from human whole blood in
体外和体内代谢研究表明,2-烷基硫基咪唑 ML3403 (4-(5-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-N-(1-phenylethyl)pyridin-2 -胺)快速氧化成亚砜。替换存在于两种有效的 p38α 丝裂原活化蛋白 (MAP) 激酶抑制剂 ML3403 和 LN950 中的硫原子(2-((5-(4-氟苯基)-4-(2-((3-甲基丁-2-基)氨基)吡啶-4-基)-1H-咪唑-2-基)硫代)乙-1-醇)分别产生具有显着改善的代谢稳定性的2-烷基咪唑衍生物1和2。2-烷基咪唑类似物 1 和 2 在与人肝微粒体孵育 4 小时后分别显示 20% 和 10% 的生物转化。与 2-烷基硫基咪唑对应物 ML3403 和 LN950 相比,它们对靶激酶的结合亲和力增加了 4 倍,并且具有相似的体外效力和离体功效。例如,LN950 的类似物
