Potent, orally active inhibitors of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2: 1-(biphenylmethylamidoalkyl)-pyrimidones
A series of 1-(biphenylmethylamidoalkyl)-pyrimidones has been designed as nanomolar inhibitors of recombinant lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 with high potency in whole human plasma. 5-(Pyrazolylmethyl) derivative 16 and 5-(methoxypyrimidinylmethyl) derivative 27 demonstrated excellent pharmacodynamic profiles which correlated well with their pharmacokinetic effects.
