Inhibition of Human Neutrophil Elastase with Peptidyl Electrophilic Ketones. 2. Orally Active PG-Val-Pro-Val Pentafluoroethyl Ketones
摘要:
Valylprolylvalyl pentafluoroethyl ketones with different N-protecting groups were evaluated in vitro and in vivo as inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase (HNE). Several of these compounds were found to be orally active in HNE-induced rat and hamster lung hemorrhage models. The compound with 4-(4-morpholinylcarbonyl)benzoyl as the protecting group, 71 (MDL 101,146), was studied in greater detail. Hydration and epimerization studies were performed on 71 and related compounds in various media, including human blood serum. Highperformance liquid chromatography studies on a reversed-phase system as a measure of the Lipophilicity of 71. and related compounds revealed a small range of relative retention times wherein the orally active compounds fell. The K-i value determined for 71 vs HNE was 25 nM.
Efficient preparation of peptidyl pentaflouroethly ketones
摘要:
A concise method for the preparation of alpha-amino pentafluoroethyl ketone salts from amino acids is described. These intermediates are useful for the preparation of peptidyl pentafluoroethyl ketones.

We have successfully implemented the Dakin-West reaction to prepare 4-(carbamoyl- or benzoylamino)-5-methyl-1,1,1,2,2-pentaffuorohexan-3-one (3, 7a and 7b). We also isolated and characterized the impurities obtained from this Dakin-West reaction. Although we were successful in the literature-described conversion of 3 to 4, we have been unsuccessful at benzamide cleavage of 7a or 7b under a variety
