Non-Peptidic inhibitors of human chymase. Synthesis, structure–activity relationships, and pharmacokinetic profiles of a series of 5-amino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-containing trifluoromethyl ketones
摘要:
Chymase possesses a wide variety of actions, including promotion of angiotensin II production and histamine release from mast cells. However, due to a lack of effective inhibitors featuring both high inhibitory activity and high metabolic stability, the pathophysiological role of chymase has not been fully elucidated. We designed non-peptidic inhibitors based on the predicted binding mode of the peptidic chymase inhibitor Val-Pro-Phe-CF3 and demonstrated that the Val-Pro unit is replaceable with a (5-amino-6-oxo-2-phenyl-1,6-dihydro-1-pyrimidinyl)acetyl moiety. Structure-activity relationship studies revealed that phenyl substitution at the 2-position of the pyrimidinone ring is indispensable for high activity. The most potent compound 1h (K-i = 0.0506 muM) is superior in potency to the parent peptidic inhibitor Val-Pro-Phe-CF3 and has good selectivity for chymase over other proteases. The related analogue 1e was orally absorbed and maintained high plasma levels for at least 2 h. These results suggest that the derivatives reported here could be developed as agents for treatment of chymase-induced disease. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Peptidyl human heart chymase inhibitors. 1. Synthesis and inhibitory activity of difluoromethylene ketone derivatives bearing P′ binding subsites
摘要:
Peptidyl difluoromethylene ketone derivatives were designed to take advantage of probable additional interactions with the S' subsite of human heart chymase. They showed potent inhibitory activities against human heart chymase and were more efficient than bovine chymotrypsin. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
