Novel Class of Benzoic Acid Ester Derivatives as Potent PDE4 Inhibitors for Inhaled Administration in the Treatment of Respiratory Diseases
摘要:
The first steps in the selection process of a new anti-inflammatory drug for the inhaled treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are herein described. A series of novel ester derivatives of 1-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2-(3,5-di-chloropyriclin-4-yl) ethanol have been synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activity toward cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4). In particular, esters of variously substituted benzoic acids were extensively explored, and structural modification of the alcoholic and benzoic moieties were performed to maximize the inhibitory potency. Several compounds with high activity in cell-free and cell-based assays were obtained. Through the evaluation of opportune in vitro ADME properties, a potential candidate suitable for inhaled administration in respiratory diseases was identified and tested in an in vivo model of pulmonary inflammation, proving its efficacy.

We utilized synthetic photochemistry to generate novel sp3-rich scaffolds and report the design, synthesis, and biological testing of a diverse series of amides based on the 1-(amino-methyl)-2-benzyl-2-aza-bicyclo[2.1.1]hexane scaffold. Preliminary antimalarial screening of the library provided promising compounds with activity in the 1–5 μM range with an enhanced hit rate. Further evaluation (solubility

A two-step solution phase synthesis employing a double UDC (Ugi/Deprotect/Cyclize) strategy has been utilized to obtain fused 6,7,6,6-quinoxalinone-benzodiazepines and 6,7,7,6-bis-benzodiazepines. Optimization of the methodology to produce these tetracyclic scaffolds was enabled by microwave irradiation, incorporation of trifluoroethanol as solvent, and the use of the convertible isocyanide, 4-tert-butyl

A library of 72 quinolones was synthesized from substituted anthranilic acids, using ynone intermediates. These masked beta-dicarbonyl synthons allowed cyclization under milder conditions than previously reported quinolone syntheses. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

A novel two-step solution phase protocol for the synthesis of arrays of triazadibenzoazulenones is reported. The methodology employs the Ugi reaction to assemble desired diversity and acid treatment enables two tandem ring closing transformations. The order of ring closure is shown to be key for optimal conversion to the desired tetra-cyclic product and initially proceeds through a benzimidazole intermediate, followed by second ring closure to give the desired fused benzodiazepine. The two-step protocol is further facilitated by microwave irradiation. Prudent selection of the isonitrile reagent enables the correct order of ring forming events. As such the methodology represents the first example of a post-condensation Ugi modification that employs two internal amino nucleophiles. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
