Substituted ureas with a carboxylic acid ester as a secondary pharmacophore are potent soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) inhibitors. Although the ester substituent imparts better physical properties, such compounds are quickly metabolized to the corresponding less potent acids. Toward producing biologically active ester compounds, a series of esters were prepared and evaluated for potency on the human
用羧酸酯取代的尿素作为二级药效团是有效的可溶性环氧化物水解酶 (sEH) 抑制剂。尽管酯取代基赋予更好的物理性质,但此类化合物会迅速代谢为相应的效力较低的酸。为了生产具有生物活性的酯化合物,制备了一系列酯并评估了对人体酶的效力、在人体肝微粒体中的稳定性和物理特性。围绕酯功能的修饰将酯抑制剂的体外代谢稳定性提高了 32 倍,而抑制效力没有降低。此外,几种化合物具有改进的物理性质。
