Benzophenone dicarboxylic acid antagonists of leukotriene B4. 2. Structure-activity relationships of the lipophilic side chain
摘要:
A series of lipophilic benzophenone dicarboxylic acid derivatives were found to inhibit the binding of the potent chemotaxin leukotriene B4 (LTB4) to its receptor on intact human neutrophils. Activity at the LTB4 receptor was determined by using a [3H]LTB4-binding assay. The structure-activity relationship for the lipophilic side chain was systematically investigated. Compounds with n-alkyl side chains of varying lengths were prepared and tested. Best inhibition of [3H]LTB4 binding was observed with the n-decyl derivative. Analogues with alkyl chains terminated with an aromatic ring showed improved activity. The 6-phenylhexyl side chain was optimal. Substitution on the terminal aromatic ring was also evaluated. Methoxyl, methylsulfinyl, and methyl substituents greatly enhanced the activity of the compound. For a given substituent, the para isomer had the best activity. Thus the nature of the lipophilic side chain can greatly influence the ability of the compounds to inhibit the binding of LTB4 to its receptor on intact human neutrophils. The most active compound from this series, 84 (LY223982), bound to the LTB4 receptor with an affinity approaching that of the agonist.
A series of trisubstituted benzenes which demonstrate leukotriene B4 (LTB4, 1) receptor affinity was prepared. Previous trisubstituted benzenes from our laboratory showed high affinity to the LTB4 receptor but demonstrated agonist activity in functional assays. Compound 3a, the initial lead compound of this new series, showed only modest affinity (IC50 = 0.20 microM). However, 3a was a receptor antagonist
This disclosure describes novel substituted aralkanamidobenzoic acids and analogs thereof. These compounds are useful pharmaceutical agents for ameliorating atherosclerosis by inhibiting the formation and development of atherosclerotic lesions in the arterial wall of mammals.
Novel 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-methylpyrimidines and substituted amino derivatives thereof useful as inhibitors of leukotriene synthesis for the treatment of pulmonary, inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and psoriasis. In addition these compounds are cytoprotective and therefore useful in the treatment of peptic ulcers. A process for the preparation of such active compounds by ring rearrangement of 2-amino-5-acetyloxazole, pharmaceutical compositions containing the novel active compounds and compositions containing these compounds in combination with other anti-inflammatory agents or gastric anti-secret- t ory agents.
