Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Molecular Modeling of 1-Benzyl-1H-imidazoles as Selective Inhibitors of Aldosterone Synthase (CYP11B2)
摘要:
Reducing aldosterone action is beneficial in various major diseases such as heart failure. Currently, flits is achieved with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, however, aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) inhibitors may offer a promising alternative. In this study, WC used three-dimensional modeling of CYP11B2 to model the binding modes of the natural substrate 18-hydroxycorticosterone and the recently published CYP11B2 inhibitor R-fadrozole as a rational guide to design 44 structurally simple and achiral 1-benzyl-1H-imidazoles. Their syntheses, in vitro inhibitor potencies, and in silico docking are described. Some promising CYP11B2 inhibitors were identified, with our novel lead MOERAS115 (4-((5-phenyl-1H-imidazol-1-y1)methyl)benzonitrile) displaying an IC50 for CYP11B2 of 1.7 nM, and a CYP11B2 (versus CYP11B1) selectivity of 16.5, comparable to R-fadrozole (IC50 for CYP11B2 6.0 nM. Selectivity 19.8). Molecular docking of the Inhibitors in the models enabled us to generate posthoc hypotheses oil their binding modes, providing a Valuable basis for future Studies and further design of CYP11B2 inhibitors.

The invention relates to the use of a N-benzyl 5-substituted imidazole derivative having the general formula I
wherein R is (C1-3)alkyl, (C1-3)alkyloxy, halogen, nitro or cyano; R1 is (C1-6)alkyl, optionally substituted with OH, (C1-3)alkyloxy, (C1-3)alkylcarbonyloxy, (C1-3)alkyloxycarbonyl or halogen, or (C1-3)alkyloxycarbonyl; or R1 is phenyl, optionally substituted with 1-3 substituents independently selected from (C1-3)alkyl, (C1-3)alkyloxy, hydroxylmethyl and halogen; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of a disorder or disease in a subject mediated by aldosterone synthase or responsive to inhibition of aldosterone synthase.
