Discovery of CC Chemokine Receptor-3 (CCR3) Antagonists with Picomolar Potency
摘要:
Starting with our previously described(20) class of CC chemokine receptor-3 (CCR3) antagonist, we improved the potency by replacing the phenyl linker of 1 with a cyclohexyl linker and by replacing the 4-benzylpiperidine with a 3-benzylpiperidine. The resulting compound, 32, is a potent and selective antagonist of CCR3. SAR studies showed that the 3-acetylphenyl urea of 32 could be replaced with heterocyclic ureas or heterocyclic-substituted phenyl ureas and still maintain the potency (inhibition of eotaxin-induced chemotaxis) of this class of compounds in the low-picomolar range (IC50 = 10-60 pM), representing some of the most potent CCR3 antagonists reported to date. The potency of 32 for mouse CCR3 (chemotaxis IC50 = 41 nM) and its oral bioavailability in mice (20% F) were adequate to assess the efficacy in animal models of allergic airway inflammation. Oral administration of 32 reduced eosinophil recruitment into the lungs in a dose-dependent manner in these animal models. On the basis of its overall potency, selectivity, efficacy, and safety profile, the benzenesulfonate salt of 32, designated DPC168, entered phase 1 clinical trials.

Methods for the preparation of (3S)-3-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperidine (2) and its mandelate salt (9) are described. The first generation synthesis started from 3-benzylpiperidone, and required Boc protection of the nitrogen for efficient separation of the enantiomers using chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. Subsequently, a resolution method using (R)-mandelic acid, produced high %ee salt 9 after

The discovery of novel and selective small molecule antagonists of the CC Chemokine Receptor-3 (CCR3) is presented. Simple conversion from a 4- to 3-benzylpiperidine gave improved selectivity for CCR3 over the serotonin 5HT(2A) receptor. Chiral resolution and exploration of mono- and disubstitution of the N-propylurea resulted in several 3-benzylpiperidine N-propylureas with CCR3 binding IC50S under 5 nM. Data from in vitro calcium mobilization and chemotaxis assays for these compounds ranged from high picomolar to low nanomolar EC(50)s and correlated well with antagonist binding IC(50)s.
