A series of lipophilic benzophenone dicarboxylic acid derivatives were found to inhibit the binding of the potent chemotoxin leukotriene B4 (LTB4) to its receptor on intact human neutrophils.Activity at the LTB4 receptor was determined by using a 3H>LTB4-binding assay.The structure-activity relationship for the lipophilic side chain was systematically investigated.Compounds with n-alkyl side chains of varying lengths were prepared and tested.Best inhibition of 3H>LTB4 binding was observed with the n-decyl derivative.Analogues with alkyl chains terminated with an aromatic ring showed improved activity.The 6-phenylhexyl side chain was optimal.Substitution on the terminal aromatic ring was also evaluated.Methoxyl, methylsulfinyl, and methyl substituents greatly enhanced the activity of the compound.For a given substituent, the para isomer had the best activity.Thus the nature of the lipophilic side chain can greatly influence the ability of the compounds to inhibit the binding of LTB4 to its receptor on intact human neutrophils.The most active compound from this series, 84 (LY223982), bound to the LTB4 receptor with the affinity approaching that of the agonist.

A series of lipophilic benzophenone dicarboxylic acid derivatives was prepared which inhibited the binding of the potent chemotaxin leukotriene B4 to its receptor(s) on intact human neutrophils.With a radioligand-binding assay as a measure of receptor affinity, a structure-activity relationship for this series was investigated.Both acidic residues were required for receptor-binding activity.The relative orientation of the two acidic groups was important for optimal binding.Replacement of the carbonyl group of the benzophenone with a variety of polar and nonpolar linking groups lead to only small changes in binding affinity, indicating the linking group may not be involved in receptor recognition.Further structure-activity relationships within this series are reported in an accompanying paper.
