Design, Synthesis, and Enzymatic Evaluation of N-Acyloxyalkyl- and N1-Oxazolidin-2,4-dion-5-yl-Substituted β-lactams as Novel Inhibitors of Human Leukocyte Elastase
摘要:
Human leukocyte elastase (HLE) is a serine protease that very efficiently degrades various tissue matrix proteins such as elastin. The imbalance between HLE and its endogenous inhibitors leads to excessive elastin proteolysis and is considered to be responsible for the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A novel series of C-3-, C-4-, and N-1-substituted azetidin-2-ones were prepared as potential mechanism-based inhibitors of HLE to restore the protease/antiprotease imbalance. N-Acyloxyalkylazetidin-2-ones, 4, and their carbamate counterparts, 5, are weak HLE inhibitors, being 5 times less active than their bicyclic oxazolidin-2,4-dione-substituted analogues, 6, containing an electron-withdrawing substituent at C-4. Compounds 6 containing a C-4 substituent exist as two diastereomeric pairs of enantiomers, each pair presenting similar inhibitory activity against HLE. Comparative docking experiments with the C-4-substituted oxazolidin-2,4-dione inhibitors 6 suggest that only the 4R,5 ' S and 4S,5'S diastereomers consistently interact with the beta-lactam carbonyl carbon atom accessible to the serine hydroxyl oxygen.

that second-order rate constants for the alkalinehydrolysis and elastase inactivation by N-carbamoyl monobactams are independent of the pKa of the leaving group at C-4. Indeed, the effect exerted by these substituents is purely inductive: electron-withdrawing substituents at C-4 of N-carbamoyl-3,3-diethylmonobactams increase the rate of alkalinehydrolysis and elastase inactivation, with Hammett pI

Au-catalyzed synthesis of 5,6-dihydro-8H-indolizin-7-ones from readily available N-(pent-2-en-4-ynyl)-beta-lactams is developed. In this reaction, a 5-exo-dig cyclization of the beta-lactam nitrogen to the Au-activated C-C triple bond is followed by heterolytic fragmentation of the amide bond, forming a highly nucleophilic acyl cation. An expedient formal synthesis of indolizidine 167B was easily achieved using this new method.
