Discovery of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl l-arylglycinamide based potent CCR2 antagonists
摘要:
Systematic modification of a screening lead yielded a class of potent glycinamide based CCR2 antagonists. The best compound (55, (2S)-N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]-2-{[2-(1-piperidinyl)ethyl]amino}-2-(3-thienyl)acetamide) displayed good binding affinity (IC50 = 30 and 39 nM) toward human monocytes and CHO cell expressing human CCR2b, respectively. Functionally, it blocked MCP-1 (CCL2)-induced calcium mobilization (IC50 = 50 nM) and chemotaxis mediated through the CCR2 receptor (9.6 nM). It is selective against other chemokine receptors tested.

An SAR study of an HTS screening hit generated a series of pyridodiazepine amines as potent inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori glutamate racemase (MurI) showing highly selective anti-H. pylori activity, marked improved solubility, and reduced plasma protein binding. X-ray co-crystal E–I structures were obtained. These uncompetitive inhibitors bind at the MurI dimer interface.

Incorporation reactions of carbon dioxide (CO2) with N-Boc-alpha\-amido and a-acetoxy stannanes were developed using CsF as a mild tin activator. Monoprotected alpha-amido stannanes could be used, and the corresponding arylglycine derivatives were obtained in moderate-to-high yields under 1 MPa (10 atm) of CO2 pressure. alpha-Acetoxy stannanes also underwent carboxylation to afford mandelic acid derivatives in excellent yields under ambient CO2 pressure. Both transformations enabled the synthesis of alpha-tertiary and alpha-quaternary carboxylic acid derivatives. In addition, the chirality of (S)-N-tert-butylsulfonyl-alpha-amido stannanes was transferred with up to 90% inversion of configuration at 100 degrees C.
