We previously reported 2-aminobenzoxazole analogue 1 as a potent ChemR23 inhibitor. The compound showed inhibitory activity against chemerin-induced calcium signaling through ChemR23 internalization in CAL-1 cells, which are cell lines of plasmacytoid dendric cells (pDCs). Furthermore, compound 2 inhibited chemotaxis of CAL-1 triggered by chemerin in vitro. However, we noted a difference in the ChemR23 response to our inhibitor between rodents and non-rodents in a previous study. To address this issue, we performed optimization of ChemR23 inhibitors using CAL-1 cells endogenously expressing human ChemR23 and conducted a pharmacokinetics study in cynomolgus monkeys. Various substituents at the 4-position of the benzoxazole ring exhibited potent in vitro bioactivity, while those at the 6-position were not tolerated. Among substituents, a carboxyl group was identified as key for improving the oral bioavailability in cynomolgus monkeys. Compound 38a with the acidic part changed from a tetrazole group to a 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-one group to improve bioactivity and pharmacokinetic parameters exhibited inhibitory activity against chemerin-induced chemotaxis in vitro. In addition, we confirmed the ChemR23 internalization of pDCs by compound 38a orally administered to cynomolgus monkeys. These 2-aminobenzoxazole-based ChemR23 inhibitors may be useful as novel immunotherapeutic agents capable of suppressing the migration of pDCs, which are known to be major producers of type I interferons in the lesion area of certain autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and psoriasis.

Page/Page column 21, (2010/12/29)
The present invention relates to compounds that have CYP450 inhibiting properties and are therefore useful as boosters of certain drugs, i.e. they are able to increase at least one of the pharmacokinetic variables of certain drugs when co-administered. The invention further provides the use of said compounds as improvers of the bioavailability of certain drugs. Methods for the preparation of the compounds of the invention and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
