Page/Page column 10-11, (2010/02/17)
Compounds that interact with the histamine H4 receptor, and which may be useful for treating or preventing disorders and conditions mediated by the histamine H4 receptor, e.g. inflammation, are of formula (I) wherein Q is CR1 or N; X is CR2 or N, provided that Q and X are not both N; Y is CR3 or N; Z is CH or N; R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently H, F, Cl, Br, I, or a hydrocarbon group which optionally contains one or more heteroatoms; and R7 is a heterocyclic radical including one or more N atoms; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or solvate thereof.

From a series of small fragments that was designed to probe the histamine H4 receptor (H4R), we previously described quinoxaline-containing fragments that were grown into high affinity H 4R ligands in a process that was guided by pharmacophore modeling. With a scaffold hopping exercise and using the same in silico models, we now report the identification and optimization of a series of quinazoline-containing H4R compounds. This approach led to the discovery of 6-chloro-N-(furan-3-ylmethyl)2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)quinazolin-4-amine (VUF10499, 54) and 6-chloro-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-N-(thiophen-2-ylmethyl) quinazolin-4-amine (VUF10497, 55) as potent human H4R inverse agonists (pKi ) 8.12 and 7.57, respectively). Interestingly, both compounds also possess considerable affinity for the human histamine H 1 receptor (H1R) and therefore represent a novel class of dual action H1R/H4R ligands, a profile that potentially leads to added therapeutic benefit. Compounds from this novel series of quinazolines are antagonists at the rat H4R and were found to possess anti-inflammatory properties in vivo in the rat.
