Discovery of Quinazolines as Histamine H4 Receptor Inverse Agonists Using a Scaffold Hopping Approach
摘要:
From a series of small fragments that was designed to probe the histamine H-4 receptor (H4R), we previously described quinoxaline-containing fragments that were grown into high affinity H4R ligands in a process that was guided by pharmacophore modeling. With a scaffold hopping exercise and using the same in silico models, we now report the identification and optimization of a series of quinazoline-containing H4R compounds. This approach led to the discovery of 6-chloi-o-N-(furan-3-yl)methyl)2-(4-methylpiperzin-1-yl)quinazolin-4-amine (VUF10499, 54) and 6-chloro-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl)quinazolin-4-amine (VUF10497, 55) as potent human H4R inverse agonists (pK(i) = 8.12 and 7.57, respectively). Interestingly, both compounds also possess considerable affinity for the human histamine Hi receptor (H1R) and therefore represent a novel class of dual action H1R/H4R ligands, a profile that potentially leads to added therapeutic benefit. Compounds from this novel series of quirlazolines are antagonists at the rat H4R and were found to possess anti-inflammatory properties in vivo in the rat.

Abstract An efficient and convenient one-pot cascade synthesis of 2,4-dichloroquinazolines directly from isatin-3-oximes with the addition of bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate and triarylphosphine oxide was developed, leading to substituted quinazolines in moderate to excellent yields. The efficiency of this transformation was demonstrated by compatibility with a range of functional groups. Thus, the method
