Novel Nonpeptide CCK-B Antagonists: Design and Development of Quinazolinone Derivatives as Potent, Selective, and Orally Active CCK-B Antagonists
摘要:
We have designed a novel series of CCK-B receptor antagonists by combining key pharmacophores, an arylurea moiety of 1 and a quinazolinone ring of 3, from two known series. Our earlier studies showed that compounds with methylene linkers in our "target" produced moderate binding affinity and selectivity for CCK-B receptors, whereas its higher and lower homologues resulted in loss of affinity. Introduction of -NH- as a linker dramatically enhanced binding affinity and selectivity for CCK-B receptors, thus providing several compounds with single-digit nanomolar binding affinity and excellent selectivity. Analogous to the earlier studies of the series of quinazolinone derivatives 3, we also found 3-isopropoxyphenyl as a preferred substitution on the N-3 quinazolinone. Electron-withdrawing substitutions on the urea terminal phenyl ring enhanced the CCK-B potency. Representative compounds of this series were tested in the functional assay and showed pure antagonist profiles. Compounds 51 and 61 were orally active in the elevated rat X-maze test. These compounds were also evaluated for their pharmacokinetic profile. The absolute oral bioavailability of compound 61 was 22% in rats.

The present invention makes available methods and reagents for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from hedgehog gain-of-function by contacting the cell with a hedgehog antagonist, such as a small molecule, in a sufficient amount to aberrant growth state, e.g., to agonize a normal ptc pathway or antagonize hedgehog activity.

A novel hybrid series of nonpeptide CCK-B receptor antagonists has been designed from two known series derived from asperlicin. An efficient synthesis of 2-aminoquinazolinone, an intermediate for the synthesis of a targeted analog, has been developed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
