.omega.-[(.omega.-Arylalkyl)thienyl]alkanoic acids: from specific LTA4 hydrolase inhibitors to LTB4 receptor antagonists
摘要:
A series of omega-[(omega-arylalkyl)thienyl]alkanoic acid isomers was prepared and a structure-activity relationship was investigated. These compounds have displayed either LTA, hydrolase inhibition activities or LTB4 receptor binding activities, or both, depending on the relative orientation of the two side chains on the thiophene ring. Whereas the 2,5-isomers specifically exhibited LTA4 hydrolase inhibition, 3,5-isomers displayed both activities. On the other hand, the ''ortho-isomers'' specifically inhibited the binding of the LTB4 to its receptor. The side-chain lengths were also important for an optimal inhibition or binding activity. Substitutions on the terminal aromatic ring or on the thiophene nucleus led to small changes in both activities. The most dramatic effect was obtained by substituting the carboxylic acid side chain in the alpha-position with one or two methyl groups, which substantially enhanced the LTB4 receptor binding activity. In the most favorable case, the alpha,alpha-dimethyl derivative RP66153 was found 20-fold more potent than its linear counterpart.

A rapid and highly selective oxidative cross-coupling reaction between readily available and shelf-stable arylboronic acids and primary or secondary potassium alkyltrifluoroborates was devised and developed, which works under mild conditions using copper(II) acetate as the catalyst and silver oxide as the oxidant. Initial experimental results indicate that a single-electron transmetalation process
Reductive cross-coupling of aryl halides with ubiquitous alkyl tosylates was developed using a combination of nickel and vitamin B12 catalysts. The tosylate was activated by reduced vitamin B12 to form alkyl cobalt(III) which served as a good alkylating agent for aryl-nickel species, leading to the C(sp3)–C(sp2) bond formation.
