Highly Potent, Orally Available Anti-inflammatory Broad-Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitors
摘要:
A series of 3-acylaminocaprolactams are inhibitors of chemokine-induced chemotaxis. Branching of the side chain alpha-carbon provides highly potent inhibitors of a range of CC and CXC chemokines. The most potent compound has an ED50 of 40 pM. Selected compounds were tested in an in vivo inflammatory assay, and the best compound reduces TNF-alpha levels with an ED50 of 0.1 mu g/kg when administered by either subcutaneous injection or oral delivery.

The first example of a polystyrene bearing two distinct reagent groups has been prepared. This phosphine and amine functionalized material was used in one-pot Wittig reactions with an aldehyde and either an α-halo-ester, -ketone, or -amide. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the polymer, the desired alkene product of these reactions could be isolated in excellent yield in essentially pure form after
The invention relates to the use of 3-aminocaprolactam derivatives for preparing a medicament intended to prevent or treat inflammatory disorders, and uses compounds of general formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof;

Short-chain aldehydes are analysed by GC-MS and NMR after their transformation into the corresponding carboxyethylethylidene (CET) derivatives via Wittig reaction. The procedure implies the treatment of the aldehyde with (carbetoxyethylidene)-triphenylphosphorane under very mild conditions. The method is suitable for the detection of short and medium chain aldehydes. CET derivatives are easily prepared and can be Utilised for the analysis of raw biological samples. The efficacy of the method has been tested in the identification of biologically active aldehydes in the marine diatom Thalassiosira rotula. At least two compounds, trans,trans-octadienal and 2-trans-4-trans-2,4,7-octatrienal, that have not been revealed in previous papers are unambiguously identified in the microalga.
