Chiral 2-(2-benzyl-3-mercaptopropionylamino)-1-alkanol derivatives and chiral 2-(2-benzyl-3-mercaptopropionylamino)-4-methylthiobutyric acids are inhibitors of enkephalinase enzyme, reflecting their clinical utility as analgesics or anticonvulsant agents, or as therapy for disorders in which endogenous enkephalin levels are below normal.
A series of (4S)-4-[(2S)-benzyl-3-mercaptopropionylamino]-4-(N-phenylcarbamoyl)-butyric acids has been identified as potent systemically active enkephalinase inhibitors. Structure-activity relationships (SAR) are discussed. Further chemical modification of the inhibitors was carried out in order to identify the inhibitors which are orally active in an animal model. Compounds of particular interest are the prodrug-like analogues, including 5b (ONO-9902). Their analgesic effects after oral administration were evaluated. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
