Discovery of a Novel Class of Selective Non-Peptide Antagonists for the Human Neurokinin-3 Receptor. 2. Identification of (S)-N-(1-Phenylpropyl)-3-hydroxy-2- phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (SB 223412)
摘要:
Optimization of the previously reported 2-phenyl-4-quinolinecarboxamide NK-3 receptor antagonist 14, with regard to potential metabolic instability of the ester moiety and affinity and selectivity for the human neurokinin-3 (hNK-3) receptor, is described. The ester functionality could be successfully replaced by the ketone (31) or by lower alkyl groups (Et, 21, or n-Pr, 24). Investigation of the substitution pattern of the quinoline ring resulted in the identification of position 3 as a key position to enhance hNK-3 binding affinity and selectivity for the hNK-3 versus the hNK-2 receptor. All of the chemical groups introduced at this position, with the exception of halogens, increased the hNK-3 binding affinity, and compounds 53 (3-OH, SE 223412, hNK-3-CHO binding K-i = 1.4 nM) and 55 (3-NHz, hNK-3-CHO binding K-i = 1.2 nM) were the most potent compounds of this series. Selectivity studies versus the other neurokinin receptors (hNK-8-CHO and hNK-1-CHO) revealed that 53 is about 100-fold selective for the hNK-3 versus hNK-2 receptor, with no affinity for the hNK-1 at concentrations up to 100 mu M. In vitro studies demonstrated that 53 is a potent functional antagonist of the hNK-3 receptor (reversal of senktide-induced contractions in rabbit isolated iris sphincter muscles and reversal of NKB-induced Ca2+ mobilization in CHO cells stably expressing the hNK-3 receptor), while in vivo this compound showed oral and intravenous activity in NK-3 receptor-driven models (senktide-induced behavioral responses in mice and senktide-induced miosis in rabbits). Overall, the biological data indicate that (S)-N-(1-phenylpropyl)-3-hydroxy-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide (53, SE 223412) may serve as a pharmacological tool in animal models of disease to assess the functional and pathophysiological role of the NK-3 receptor and to establish therapeutic indications for non-peptide NK-3 receptor antagonists.

A series of new, chiral Lewis bases containing imidazole-N-oxide moiety were tested for purposes of asymmetric catalysis. Bisimidazole-N-oxides derived from (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane were used as catalysts in the allylation reaction of aromatic aldehydes with allyltrichlorosilane, which yielded homoallyl alcohols in good yields and with enantioselectivity up to 80% ee. Screening
1,5-diarylimidazoles has been developed. The method is based on the condensation of appropriate α-diketone monooxime with aromaticamines and formaldehyde in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate leading to the formation of stable boron trifluoride complexes of imidazole N-oxides. Further reduction of these complexes led to the formation of corresponding imidazoles.
substituted acetate group at N(1) as the chiral unit were prepared by the reaction of α-(hydroxyimino) ketones, α-amino acid methyl esters, and formaldehyde. In an analogous reaction, ethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-3-oxobutyrate and 1,3,5-trialkylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazines gave 3-oxido-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylates 14, which easily rearranged into the 2-oxo derivatives 15. Selected examples of N-oxides 5 could be transformed
