Aromatic Quinolinecarboxamides as Selective, Orally Active Antibody Production Inhibitors for Prevention of Acute Xenograft Rejection
摘要:
The prevention of xenograft rejection is substantially dependent on inhibiting antibodies (Ab) produced by B-cells independently of T-cell signals (TI-1). Due to their ubiquitous biochemical mechanisms of action, the immunosuppressants currently employed not only fail to discriminate between B- and T-cells but also have a narrow therapeutic window and, thus, their prolonged use in complex immunosuppressive regimens is problematic. By capitalizing on the target enzyme-bound (DHODH) structure Ib of one of these compounds, leflunomide, and modulating part of its multiple mechanisms of action to gain selectivity, the quinoline-8-carboxamide 3 was designed as a potentially weak enzyme inhibitor but effective immunosuppressant. Compound 3 fulfilled the mechanistic criteria set and had 10-fold B-cell over T-cell selectivity. Its pyridyl analogue 4 was found to be a highly potent and selective B-cell immunosuppressant with a 75-fold selectivity for B- over T-cells las judged by the MLR data) and no general cytotoxicity at concentrations up to 160-fold higher than those required to inhibit B-cells. In the mouse, 4 effectively blocked TI-1 Ab production and suppressed Ab-mediated xenograft rejection in a xenotransplantation model under a once-daily dosing regimen, with efficacy down to 0.3 mg/kg/day po. These are the first data demonstrating the feasibility of the development of drugs specific for impeding Ah production.
the prepn. of all ten 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridinecarboxylic acids and all nine 2-, 3-, 4-, or 8-quinolinecarboxylic acids bearing trifluoromethyl substituents at the 2-, 3-, or 4-position were elaborated. The trifluoromethyl group, if not already present in the precursor, was introduced either by the deoxygenative fluorination of suitable carboxylic acids with sulfur tetrafluoride or by the displacement of

in the presence of phosphoryl trichloride, the resulting 4-anilino-1,1,1-trifluorobut-3-en-2-ones undergo an N → ortho shift of the side chain followed by cyclization and dehydration to afford 2-(trifluoromethyl)quinolines.

As part of an effort to identify 5-HT1A antagonists that did not possess typical arylalkylamine or keto/amido-alkyl aryl piperazine scaffolds, prototype compound 10a was identified from earlier work in a combined 5-HT1A antagonist/SSRI program. This quinolyl-piperazinyl piperidine analogue displayed potent, selective 5-HT1A antagonism but suffered from poor oxidative metabolic stability, resulting in low exposure following oral administration. SA R studies, driven primarily by in vitro liver microsomal stability assessment, identified compound lob, which displayed improved oral bioavailability and lower intrinsic clearance. Further changes to the scaffold (e.g., 10r) resulted in a loss in potency. Compound 10b displayed cognitive enhancing effects in a number of animal models of learning and memory, enhanced the antidepressant-like effects of the SSRI fluoxetine, and reversed the sexual dysfunction induced by chronic fluoxetine treatment.
