- Chiral aromatase and dual aromatase-steroid sulfatase inhibitors from the letrozole template: Synthesis, absolute configuration, and in vitro activity
-
To explore aromatase inhibition and to broaden the structural diversity of dual aromatase-sulfatase inhibitors (DASIs), we introduced the steroid sulfatase (STS) inhibitory pharmacophore to letrozole. Letrozole derivatives were prepared bearing bis-sulfamates or mono-sulfamates with or without adjacent substituents. The most potent of the achiral and racemic aromatase inhibitor was 40 (IC50 = 3.0 nM). Its phenolic precursor 39 was separated by chiral HPLC, and the absolute configuration of each enantiomer was determined using vibrational and electronic circular dichroism in tandem with calculations of the predicted spectra. Of the two enantiomers, (R)-phenol (39a) was the most potent aromatase inhibitor (IC50 = 0.6 nM, comparable to letrozole), whereas the (S)-sulfamate, (40b) inhibited STS most potently (IC50 = 553 nM). These results suggest that a new structural class of DASI for potential treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer has been identified, and this is the first report of STS inhibition by an enantiopure nonsteroidal compound.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationship for new series of 4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives as specific inhibitors of platelet-derived growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase
-
We discovered a new series of 4-phenoxyquinoline derivatives as potent and selective inhibitors of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFr) tyrosine kinase. We researched the highly potent and selective inhibitors on the basis of both PDGFr and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) inhibitory activity. First, we found a compound, Ki6783 (1), which inhibited PDGFr autophosphorylation at 0.13 μM, but it did not inhibit EGFr autophosphorylation at 100 μM. After extensive explorations, we found the two desired compounds, Ki6896 (2) and Ki6945 (3), which are substituted by benzoyl and benzamide at the 4-position of the phenoxy group on 4-phenoxyquinoline, respectively. These inhibitory activities were 0.31 and 0.050 μM, respectively, but neither of them inhibited EGFr autophosphorylation at 100 μM. We further investigated the profile of both compounds toward various tyrosine and serine/threonine kinases. The three compounds specifically inhibited PDGFr rather than the other kinases.

- (Phenylmethoxy)phenyl Derivatives of Ω-Oxo- and Ω-Tetrazolylalkanoic Acids and Related Tetrazoles. Synthesis and Evaluation as Leukotriene D4 Receptor Antagonists
-
Two series of (phenylmethoxy)phenyl compounds derived from the structure of LY163443 were synthesized and evaluated as leukotriene D4 receptor antagonists.In the Ω--Ω-oxoalkanoic acid series, 5-phenyl>-3,3-dimethyl-5-oxopentanoic acid (8) was the most potent antagonist of LTD4-induced contractions of guinea pig ileum (pKB of 7.60) and LTD4 pressor response in pithed rats (ED50 of 1.4 mg/kg iv).Replacing the carboxylic acid function with 5-tetrazole gave slightly more potent compounds.Inthe Ω-alkyl>tetrazolyl>alkanoic acid series, replacing the carboxylic acid with 5-tetrazole gave compounds that were equally effective in the guinea pig ileum but more potent in vivo against the LTD4 pressor response in rat.The pKB value in the guinea pig ileum for 1--2H-tetrazol-5-yl>methyl>phenoxy>methyl>phenyl>ethanone (25) was 7.87 and the ED50 for antagonism of the LTD4 pressor response was 4.0 mg/kg iv.The sodium salts of 8 (9) and 25(26) given by the iv route of administration antagonized LTD4-induced cardiovascular alterations in anesthetized rat and LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pig in a dose-dependent manner.Oral activity was also demonstrated against the LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pig.
