A series of (E)-2-(2-substituted benzylidene)- and 2-(2-substituted benzyl)-6-methoxy-tetralones were prepared, using an efficient synthetic scheme, and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against cytochrome P450C24A1 (CYP24A1) hydroxylase. In general the reduced benzyl tetralones were more active than the parent benzylidene tetralones. The 2-ethyl and 2-trifluoromethyl benzyl tetralone derivatives (4c and 4b) showed optimal activity in this series with IC(50) values of 1 92 mu M and 2.08 mu M, respectively compared with the standard ketoconazole IC(50) 0.52 mu M. The 2-bromobenzyl tetralone (4d) showed a preference for CYP27A1 (IC(50) 59 nM) over CYP24A1 (IC(50) 163 mu M) and may be a useful lead in CYP27A1 inhibition studies The 2-ethylphenyl benzyl derivative (9c), which showed weak activity against the wild type CYP24A1 (IC(50) 25.57 mu M), exhibited enhanced inhibitory activity towards L148F and M416T mutants, this difference in activity for the L148F mutant has been explained using molecular modelling (C) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

The potent inhibitory activity of novel 2-benzyltetralone and 2-benzylidenetetralone derivatives vs liver microsomal retinoic acid metabolizing enzymes and a MCF-7 CYP26A1 cell assay is described. In the liver microsomal assay, the 2-biphenylmethyl-6-hydroxytetralone derivatives 16a and 16b were found to be potent inhibitors (IC50 = 0.5 and 0.8 mu M) compared with the broad spectrum P450 inhibitor ketoconazole and the retinoid mimetic R115866 (IC50 = 18.0 and 9.0 mu M, respectively). In the MCF-7 CYP26A1 cell assay, the 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-6-methoxytetralone 5 and unsaturated benzylidene precursor 6 were found to be the most potent (IC50 = 7 and 5 mu M, respectively), which was comparable with liarozole (7 mu M) but considerably less active than R115866 (IC50 = 5 nM). With a CYP26A1 homology model, the tetralones were shown to be positioned in a hydrophobic tunnel with additional interactions, e.g., transition metal coordination and hydrogen-bonding interactions with GLY300, observed for the potent 4-hydroxyphenyl substituted inhibitors.
