Integration of optimized substituent patterns to produce highly potent 4-aryl-pyridine glucagon receptor antagonists
摘要:
Optimized substituent patterns in 4-arul-puridine glucagon receptor antagonists were merged to produce highly potent derivatives containing both a 3-[(1R)-hydroxyethyl] and a 2'-hydroxy group. Due to restricted rotation of the phenyl-pyridine bond, these analogues exist as four isomers. A diastereoselective methylcopper reaction as developed to facilitate the synthesis, and single isomers ere isolated with activities in the range IC50 = 10 25 nM. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Optimization of the 4-aryl group of 4-aryl-pyridine glucagon antagonists: development of an efficient, alternative synthesis
摘要:
A narrow structure-activity relationship was established for the 4-aryl group in 4-aryl-pyridine glucagon antagonists, with only small substituents being well-tolerated, and only at the 3'- and 4'-positions. However, substitution with a 2'-hydroxy group gave a ca. 3-fold increase in activity (e.g., 4'-fluoro-2'-hydroxy analogue 33, IC50 = 190 nM). For efficient preparation of 2'-substituted phenylpyridines, a novel synthesis via pyrones and 4-methoxy-pyridines was developed. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
