Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a therapeutic target for treating hypertension and inflammation. 1,3-Disubstituted ureas functionalized with an ether group are potent sEH inhibitors. However, their relatively low metabolic stability leads to poor pharmacokinetic properties. To improve their bioavailability, we investigated the effect of incorporating various polar groups on the ether function on
可溶性环氧水解酶(sEH)是用于治疗高血压和炎症的治疗靶标。被醚基官能化的1,3-二取代脲是有效的sEH抑制剂。然而,它们相对较低的代谢稳定性导致不良的药代动力学性质。为了提高其生物利用度,我们研究了在醚功能上掺入各种极性基团对抑制能力,物理性质,体外代谢稳定性和药代动力学性质的影响。结构-活性关系研究表明,脲基团和醚官能团之间的疏水性连接基对于保持其效能是必要的。此外,具有极性基团的脲-醚抑制剂,例如二甘醇或吗啉,可显着改善其物理性质和代谢稳定性,而不会丧失任何抑制效力。此外,使用所得抑制剂在鼠和犬模型中获得了改善的药代动力学性质。这些发现将有助于在高血压和发炎的动物模型中使用sEH抑制剂。
