Optimization of a Tertiary Alcohol Series of Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) Inhibitors: Structure−Activity Relationship Related to PDE4 Inhibition and Human Ether-a-go-go Related Gene Potassium Channel Binding Affinity
摘要:
A SAR study on the tertiary alcohol series of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors related to 1 is described. In addition to inhibitory potency against PDE4 and the lipopolysaccharide-induced production of TNFalpha in human whole blood, the binding affinity of these compounds for the human ether-a-go-go related gene (hERG) potassium channel (an in vitro measure for the potential to cause QTc prolongation) was assessed. Four key structural moieties in the molecule were studied, and the impact of the resulting modifications in modulating these activities was evaluated. From these studies, (+)-3d (L-869,298) was identified as an optimized structure with respect to PDE4 inhibitory potency, lack of binding affinity to the hERG potassium channel, and pharmacokinetic behavior. (+)-3d exhibited good in vivo efficacy in several models of pulmonary function with a wide therapeutic index with respect to emesis and prolongation of the QTc interval.

Compound 1 is a uniquely substituted ketone prepared via addition of a thiazole anion to an aromatic nitrile in good overall yield. An exploration into the generality of the addition of thiazole anions to nitriles allowed us to make a variety of thiazole ketones in good to excellent yields. The non-odorous thiolate-mediated demethylation reaction used in the synthesis of 1 is also presented. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
