Pentadienyl carboxamide derivatives as antagonists of platelet-activating factor

A series of N-[4-(3-pyridinyl)butyl]-5,5-disubstituted-pentadienamides was prepared and evaluated for PAF-antagonist activity. Compounds were assayed in vitro in a PAF-binding assay employing washed, whole dog platelets as the receptor source and in vivo after intravenous or oral administration for their ability to prevent PAF-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs. Criteria required for good oral activity in the latter model include an (E,E)-5-phenyl-2,4-pentadienamide, a second phenyl or a four- or five-carbon alkyl moiety in the 5-position of the diene, and an (R)-[1-alkyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)butyl] substituent on the carboxamide nitrogen atom. The alkyl substituent on this side chain can be methyl, ethyl, or cyclopropyl. Two members of this series, [R-(E)]-5,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-[1-methyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)butyl]-2,4- pentadienamide (31) and [R-(E,E)]-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-[1-methyl-4-(3-pyridinyl)butyl]-2,4- decadienamide (58), were selected for further pharmacological evaluation. Both were found to be substantially longer acting after oral administration than the corresponding S enantiomers in the guinea pig bronchoconstriction assay. A second in vivo model used to evaluate PAF antagonists determines the ability of test compounds to decrease the area of skin wheals induced by an intradermal injection of PAF. In this model, using both rats and guinea pigs, compounds 31 and 58 were found to be as active as the reference PAF antagonist 3-[4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3- a][1,4]diazepin-2-yl]-1-(4-morpholinyl)-1-propanone (45).

Pentadieneamides

Compounds of the formula STR1 Y is O ir S, *A is paraphenylene or *----(CH2)n----(X)m --(CH2)r ----, X is O, S or --CH=CH--, n or r, independently, are integers from 0 to 3, s is an integer from 0 to 1, m is an integer from 0 to 1, provided that when m is 1, n+s must be at least 2, R1 and R2, independently, are hydrogen, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, lower alkenyl, Het, aryl, R3, R4 and R8, independently, are hydrogen, lower alkyl, aryl, R5 and R6, independently, are hydrogen or lower alkyl, R7 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, cycloalkyl, Het-lower alkyl or aryl, Het is a monocyclic 5- or 6-membered hetero aromatic or a bicyclic heteroaromatic radical containing one or two hetero atoms selected from nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, which radical may be substituted by lower alkyl, halogen or aryl, and the asterisk denotes the point of attachment, and when R6 and R7 are different, their enantiomers and racemic mixtures thereof, when R1 and R2 are different, their geometric isomers, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, are described. The compounds of formula I exhibit activity as platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonists and are, therefore, useful in disease states characerized by excess platelet activating factor or for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, pulmonary diseases, immunological disorders, inflammatory diseases, dermatological disorders, shock or transplant rejection.
