Quinones. 4. Novel eicosanoid antagonists: synthesis and pharmacological evaluation
摘要:
A new series of omega-phenyl-omega-quinonylalkanoic acids and related compounds was synthesized. The compounds were tested for their inhibitory effects on U-44069-induced contraction of the rabbit aorta. (+/- )-7-(3,5,6-Trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoic acid (4d) (AA-2414) with pA2 value of 8.28 was one of the most potent compounds. Compound 4d inhibited U-46619-induced contraction of the guinea pig lung (pA2 = 8.29) and U-44069-induced aggregation of the guinea pig platelet (IC50 = 3.5 x 10(-7) M). Compound 4d displaced the binding of [3H]U-46619 to guinea pig platelets (IC50 = 7.4 x 10(-9) M). Compound 4d also showed very potent inhibitory effects with an MED of 0.3 mg/kg (po) on U-46619-, LTD4-, PAF-, or IgG1-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs. The enantiomers of 4d were prepared. The R-(+) isomer 8a was active in both in vitro and in vivo tests, but the S-(-) isomer 8b was much less active. We concluded that the antiasthmatic effects of 4d were based mainly on the TXA2 receptor antagonistic action. In addition, compound 4d showed potent inhibitory effects on PGD2-, PGF2 alpha-, and 11-epi-PGF2 alpha-induced contraction of the guinea pig tracheal strips. The diverse inhibitory effects might be expressed in terms of eicosanoid-antagonistic activity.

iron(III) triflate, Fe(OTf)3, copper(II) triflate, Cu(OTf)2, and silver(I) triflate, AgOTf, show high catalytic activities. These reactions proceed through the carbon–carbonbondcleavage by a retro‐aldol reaction and were found to be highly regioselective even in the presence of other functional groups. This type of reaction can also be applied to the preparation of the keto esters during the synthesis

Light-controllable, chemoselective hydroboration of ketoacids is reported using a well-defined cobalt hydride catalyst. Excellent selectivities can be achieved, with acids reacting in the dark and ketones in the light. This approach can be further extended to other functional groups.
Consideration of possible structural similarities between thromboxane A2 and the hydroquinone form of (R)-(+)-7-(3,5,6-trimethyl-1,4-benzoquinon-2-yl)-7-phenylheptanoic acid (R-(+)-AA-2414) led to the development of a new series of thromboxane A2/prostaglandin H-2 (TXA2/PGH2) receptor antagonists, namely 7-(4-fluorophenyl)-7-(2-hydroxyphenyl)heptanoic acids (I). These compounds were found to be potent TXA2/PGH2 receptor antagonists. Compounds having either a carbonyl or a hydroxymethyl group at the para-position of the phenolic hydroxy group exhibited most potent activities in this series. Compounds 14, 15, 18, and 26 inhibited the specific binding of [H-3]U-46619 to guinea pig platelet membranes (IC50 = 4.4, 80, 32, and 13 nM, respectively), and also inhibited U-46619-induced human platelet aggregation (IC50 = 310, 69, 79, and 78 nM, respectively). Comparison of the UV spectra of the compounds with a carbonyl group at the para-position of phenolic hydroxy group revealed that the activity tended to increase in accordance with a decrease in the torsional angle between the carbonyl group and the phenol ring. These results suggested that the spacial location of the carbonyl and hydroxymethyl oxygen are important for significant increase in activity and that the carbonyl and hydroxymethyl oxygen at the para-position of the phenolic hydroxy group might interact with one of the TXA2/PGH2 receptor sites.
