Biphenylsulfonamide endothelin antagonists: Structure-activity relationships of a series of mono- and disubstituted analogues and pharmacology of the orally active endothelin antagonist 2'-amino-N-(3,4- dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl)-4'-(2-methylpropyl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-2-sulfonamide (BMS- 187308)
Substitution at the ortho position of N-(3,4-dimethyl-5-isoxazolyl) benzenesulfonamide led to the identification of the biphenylsulfonamides as a novel series of endothelin-A (ETA) selective antagonists. Appropriate substitutions on the pendant phenyl ring led to improved binding as well as functional activity. A hydrophobic group such as isobutyl or isopropoxyl was found to be optimal at the 4'-position. Introduction of an amino group at the 2'-position also led to improved analogues. Combination of the optimal 4'- isobutyl substituent with the 2'-amino function afforded an analogue (20, BMS-187308) with improved ET(A) binding affinity and functional activity. Compound 20 also has good oral activity in inhibiting the pressor effect caused by an ET-1 infusion in rats. Doses of 10 and 30 μmol/kg iv 20 attenuated the pressor responses due to the administration of exogenous ET-1 to conscious monkeys, indicating that the compound inhibits the in vivo activity of endothelin-1 in nonhuman primates.
