Dual Metalloprotease Inhibitors: Mercaptoacetyl-Based Fused Heterocyclic Dipeptide Mimetics as Inhibitors of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Neutral Endopeptidase
摘要:
A series of 7,6- and 7,5-fused bicyclic thiazepinones and oxazepinones were generated and incorporated as conformationally restricted dipeptide surrogates in mercaptoacyl dipeptides. These compounds are potent inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase (NEP) both in vitro and in vivo. Compound 1a, a 7,6-fused bicyclic thiazepinone, demonstrated excellent blood pressure lowering in a variety of animal models characterized by various levels of plasma renin activity and significantly potentiated urinary sodium, ANP, and cGMP excretion in a cynomolgus monkey assay. On the basis of its potency and duration of action, compound 1a (BMS-186716) was advanced into clinical development for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure.
Syntheses of Sequence-Controlled Polymers via Consecutive Multicomponent Reactions
摘要:
Multicomponent reactions have recently attracted a great deal of attention as they are considered as a powerful tool for constructing sequence-controlled polymers. Although new examples are constantly flourishing in the literature, the process that allows two or more consecutive multicomponent-reactions to react in a single operation for the syntheses of sequence-controlled polymers has not been developed until now. Here, we propose a new strategy combining multicomponent reaction of amine, thiol, and alkene conjugating and multicomponent polymerization of diyne, azide, and diamine coupling in one-pot for the synthesis of sequence-controlled polymer.

Mechanism based inhibitors of diaminopimelate aminotransferase (DAP-AT) were designed using knowledge of its substrate specificity and mechanism. Synthesis of thiolester and amide substrate analogues was achieved prior to in vitro inhibition studies, but ester analogues proved too unstable to isolate. Thia substrate analogues showed no inhibitory properties, but the aza substrate analogue 12a showed reversible inhibition vs. DAP-AT and time dependent inhibition in the absence of the natural substrate 4. Substrate analogue 12a is the first example of an amide inhibitor of PLP dependent enzymes. Antibiotic properties of 12a were also briefly assessed.
