Synthesis and antiallergy activity of 4-(diarylhydroxymethyl)-1-[3-(aryloxy)propyl]piperidines and structurally related compounds

A series of 4-(diarylhydroxymethyl)-1-[3-(aryloxy)propyl]piperidines was synthesized and evaluated for antiallergy activity. Several analogues had potent activity in the passive foot anaphylaxis (PFA) assay, an IgE-mediated model useful in the detection of compounds possessing antiallergic activity. In particular 1-[4-[3-[4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)hydroxymethyl]-1-piperidinyl] propoxy]-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone (1, AHR-5333) was more potent than oxatomide and terfenadine in this assay.     

Synthesis and antiallergy activity of N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-4-aryl-1-piperazinecarboxamide derivatives

A series of N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-4-aryl-1-piperazinecarboxamides was synthesized and evaluated for antiallergy activity. Several derivatives had activity in the passive foot anaphylaxis (PFA) assay, an IgE-mediated model useful in the detection of compounds possessing antiallergic activity, but no derivative tested had activity at 10 mg/kg in the guinea pig anaphylaxis (GPA) assay. One analogue, N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperazinecarboxamide , had an IC50 = 310 nM for inhibition of tritiated mepyramine binding to H1 histaminic receptors isolated from guinea pig cerebral cortex.     

Synthesis and selective class III antiarrhythmic activity of novel N-heteroaralkyl-substituted 1-(aryloxy)-2-propanolamine and related propylamine derivatives

The synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel 1-(aryloxy)-2-propanolamines and several related deshydroxy analogues are described. Compounds 4-29 were prepared and investigated for their class III electrophysiological activity in isolated canine Purkinje fibers and in anesthetized open-chest dogs. None of these compounds showed any class I activity. On the basis of the in vitro data, structure-activity relationships for the series are discussed. Two compounds, N-[4-[2-hydroxy-3-[methyl(2-quinolinylmethyl)amino] propoxy]phenyl]methanesulfonamide (12,WAY-123,223) and N-[2-[[methyl[3-[4-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]phenoxy]propyl] amino]methyl]-6-quinolinyl]-methanesulfonamide (24, WAY-125,971) were identified and characterized as potent and specific class III antiarrhythmic agents in vitro and in vivo. Compound 12 was found to be orally bioavailable, to produce large increases of ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT), and, in some instances, to restore sinus rhythm from ventricular fibrillation in anesthetized open-chest dogs at a dose of 5 mg/kg (iv). The enantiomers of 12 (i.e., 13 and 14) were synthesized and were found to exhibit similar electrophysiological effects in the Purkinje fiber screen. Compound 24, a propylamine analogue with potency and efficacy comparable to those of UK-68798 (2) and E-4031 (3), was studied in voltage-clamp experiments (isolated cat myocytes) and was found to be a potent and specific blocker of the delayed rectifier potassium current (IK).     

2-Phenyl-2-(1-hydroxycycloalkyl)ethylamine derivatives: synthesis and antidepressant activity

A series of 2-phenyl-2-(1-hydroxycycloalkyl)ethylamine derivatives was examined for the ability to inhibit both rat brain imipramine receptor binding and the synaptosomal uptake of norepinephrine (NE) and serotonin (5-HT). Neurotransmitter uptake inhibition was highest for a subset of 2-phenyl-2-(1-hydroxycyclohexyl)dimethylethylamines in which the aryl ring has a halogen or methoxy substituent at the 3- and/or 4-positions. Potential antidepressant activity in this subset was assayed in three rodent models--the antagonism of reserpine-induced hypothermia, the antagonism of histamine-induced ACTH release, and the ability to reduce noradrenergic responsiveness in the rat pineal gland. An acute effect seen in the rat pineal gland with several analogues, including 1-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]cyclohexanol (23) and 1-[2-(dimethylamino)-1)-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]cyclohexanol (4), was taken as a possible correlate of a rapid onset of antidepressant activity. Compound 4 (venlafaxine) is presently undergoing clinical evaluation.     

4-(2-乙酰氧基苯甲酰氨基)丁酸酯类化合物的设计、合成及抗癫痫活性研究

Synthesis and beta-adrenergic antagonism of 2-(aryloxy)-1-(2-piperidyl)ethanols

A series of erythro- and threo-2-(aryloxy)-1-(2-piperidyl)ethanol derivatives (3) was synthesized from 2-(2-oxiranyl)pyridine for evaluation as beta-antagonists. Most compounds displayed high competitive beta-blocking potency, but they lacked significant beta 1/beta 2 selectivity. The 1-naphthoxy derivative erythro-3b was 17 (beta 1) and 33 (beta 2) times more potent than its open-chain analogue, propranolol. Within the whole series, erythro-3 diastereomers were more potent beta-blockers than the threo-3 isomers, and the potency of the latter seems to be rather insensitive to structural modification. The effect of N-methylation and of interposition of an alkyl chain between the aromatic ring and the side chain, while being detrimental to beta-blocking activity, was less marked than in the classic (aryloxy)propanolamine blockers.     

Potent and selective ET-A antagonists. 1. Syntheses and structure-activity relationships of N-(6-(2-(aryloxy)ethoxy)-4-pyrimidinyl)sulfonamide derivatives

Modifications to the ET(A/B) mixed type compounds 1 (Ro. 46-2005) and 2 (bosentan) were performed. Introduction of a pyrimidine group into 1 resulted in a dramatic increase in affinity for the ET(A) receptor, and the subsequent optimization of substituents on the pyrimidine ring led us to the discovery of N-(6-(2-((5-bromo-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy)ethoxy)-5-(4-methylphenyl)-4-pyrimidinyl)-4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide (7k), which showed an extremely high affinity for the human cloned ET(A) receptor (K(i) = 0.0042 +/- 0.0038 nM) and an ET(A/B) receptor selectivity up to 29 000 (K(i) = 130 +/- 50 nM for the human cloned ET(B) receptor). The compound was designed on the hypothesis that the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group in 1 and 2 played a role not as a proton donor but as an acceptor in the possible hydrogen bonding with Tyr129. Since the incorporation of a pyrimidinyl group into the hydroxyethoxy side chain of the nonselective antagonist (1) dramatically enhanced both the ET(A) receptor affinity and selectivity, and since similar results were obtained from the benzene analogues, we put forward the hypothesis that a "pyrimidine binding pocket" might exist in the ET(A) receptor.     

The synthesis and investigation of the antimicrobial activity of some new phenylselanyl-1-(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1H-tetrazole derivatives

The sulfonamide functional group has aroused interest in both medicinal and bioorganic chemistry. In this study, some new phenylselanyl–1–(toluene-4-sulfonyl)-1H-tetrazole derivatives (2a–f) have been synthesized using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/dimethylaminopyridine (DCC/DMAP). The structures of the presently synthesized compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods [Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance-attached proton test (¹³C NMR-APT), and mass spectrometry (MS)]. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of the synthesized compounds and two antibiotics [sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and sulfamerazine (SRZ)] were investigated against some microorganisms.

Beta-adrenoceptor stimulant properties of amidoalkylamino-substituted 1-aryl-2-ethanols and 1-(aryloxy)-2-propanols

Parallel series of 2-[(2-amidoethyl)amino]-1-arylethanols and 1-[(2-amidoethyl)amino]-3-(aryloxy)-2-propanols have been prepared, and the compounds were tested as beta-adrenoceptor stimulants on the heart and circulation of the dog. The corresponding 2-(alkylamino)-1-arylethanols and 3-(alkylamino)-2-propanols have been tested for comparison and the structure-activity relationships (SAR) examined. The arylethanols are potent full agonists, showing selectivity for the heart relative to blood vessels, while the (aryloxy)propanols are even more cardioselective and are partial agonists. Within a narrow series of 1-[(amidoethyl)amino]-3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-2-propanols, careful examination of the SAR of the amide group showed that great variation in cardioselectivity and degree of agonism may be produce. From this study ICI 118587, N-[20[[2-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)propyl]amino]ethyl]-4-morpholinecarboxamide, was selected for its high cardioselectivity and 50% agonist properties. This compound in under clinical evaluation as a cardiac stimulant.     

Synthesis, calcium-channel-blocking activity, and antihypertensive activity of 4-(diarylmethyl)-1-[3-(aryloxy)propyl]piperidines and structurally related compounds

A series of 4-(diarylmethyl)-1-[3-(aryloxy)propyl]piperidines and structurally related compounds were synthesized as calcium-channel blockers and antihypertensive agents. Compounds were evaluated for calcium-channel-blocking activity by determining their ability to antagonize calcium-induced contractions of isolated rabbit aortic strips. The most potent compounds were those with fluoro substituents in the 3- and/or 4-positions of both rings of the diphenylmethyl group. Bis(4-fluorophenyl)acetonitrile analogue 79 was similar in potency to bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl compound 1. The methylene analogue of 1 (78) and derivatives of 1 that contained a hydroxyl (76), carbamoyl (80), amino (81), or acetamido (82) substituent on the methyl group were less potent. In most cases, substituents on the phenoxy ring, changes in the distance between the aryloxy group and the piperidine nitrogen, and the substitution of S, N(CH3), or CH2 for the oxygen atom of the aryloxy group had only a small to moderate effect on the potency. The best compounds in this series were more potent than verapamil, diltiazem, flunarizine, and lidoflazine, but were less potent than nifedipine. Compounds were evaluated for antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) at an oral dose of 30 mg/kg. Of the 55 compounds tested, only nine produced a statistically significant (p less than 0.05) reduction in blood pressure greater than 20%; all of these compounds had fluoro substituents in both rings of the diphenylmethyl group. One of the most active compounds in the SHR at 30 mg/kg was 1-[4-[3-[4-[bis(3,4-difluorophenyl)methyl]-1- piperidinyl]propoxy]-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone (63), which produced a 35% reduction in blood pressure and was similar in activity to nifedipine. At lower doses, however, 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1-[3-(4-chlorophenoxy)propyl]piperidine (93) was one of the most effective antihypertensive agents, producing reductions in blood pressure of 17 and 11% at oral doses of 10 and 3 mg/kg, respectively; 63 was inactive at 10 mg/kg.

Design, synthesis, and antipicornavirus activity of 1-[5-(4-arylphenoxy)alkyl]-3-pyridin-4-ylimidazolidin-2-one derivatives

A series of pyridylimidazolidinone derivatives was synthesized and tested in vitro against enterovirus 71 (EV71). On the basis of compound 33 (DBPR103), introduction of a methyl group at the 2- or 3-position of the linker between the imidazolidinone and the biphenyl resulted in markedly improved antiviral activity toward EV71 with IC(50) values of 5.0 nM (24b) and 9.3 nM (14a), respectively. Increasing the branched chain to propyl resulted in a progressive decrease in activity, while inserting different heteroatoms entirely rendered the compound only weakly active. The introduction of a bulky group (cyclohexyl, phenyl, or benzyl) led to loss of activity against EV71. The 4-chlorophenyl moiety in 14a was replaced with bioisosteric groups such as oxadiazole (28a-d) or tetrazole (32a,b), dramatically improving anti-EV71 activity and selectivity indices. Compounds 14a, 24b, 28b, 28d, and 32a exhibited a strong activity against lethal EV71, and no apparent cellular toxicity was observed. Three of the more potent imidazolidinone compounds, 14a, 28b, and 32b, were subjected to a large group of picornaviruses to determine their spectrum of antiviral activity.     

Synthesis and antileukemic activity of novel 2-(4-(2,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)phenoxy)-1-(4-(3-(piperidin-4-yl)propyl)piperidin-1-yl)ethanone derivatives

A series of novel 2-(4-(2,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)phenoxy)-1-(4-(3-(piperidin-4-yl)propyl) piperidin-1-yl)ethanone derivatives 9(a-e) and 10(a-g) were synthesized and characterized by (1) H NMR, IR, mass spectral, and elemental analysis. These novel compounds were evaluated for their antileukemic activity against two human leukemic cell lines (K562 and CEM) by using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide assay. Some of the tested compounds showed good antiproliferative activity with IC(50) values ranging from 1.6 to 8.0 μm. Compound 9c, 9e, and 10f with an electron-withdrawing halogen substituent at the para position on the phenyl ring showed excellent in vitro potency against tested human leukemia cells (K562 and CEM).     

Microwave-assisted synthesis, hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activity of some novel 2-(4-(2-Amino-6-(4-substituted phenyl)-pyrimidin-4-yl)-phenoxy)-2-methyl propanoic acid derivatives

A novel series of aminopyrimidines containing the phenoxy isobutyric acid group as a pharmacophore was synthesized using conventional and microwave assisted methods of synthesis. The compounds were synthesized in good yields (70-89%) by the microwave-assisted one-pot protocol in much shorter reaction times. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their hypolipidemic and hypoglycemic activity by high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The present investigation showed significant antihyperlipidemic and antihyperglycemic activity for all compounds of the series when compared with the standard drug. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) for the series were developed by comparing total lipid profile data of synthesized compounds with fenofibrate as standard drug.
