A series of potent nonpeptidic inhibitors of the enzyme human leukocyte elastase (HLE) is reported. These inhibitors contain a 3-amino-2-pyridone ring as a central template in which the pyridone carbonyl and 3-position NH group are thought to form important hydrogen bonding interactions with the Val-216 residue of HLE. Substitution of the 6-position of the pyridone ring by various alkyl and aryl groups was found to afford increases in the in vitro potency of these inhibitors. A 6-position phenyl group, compound 10f, was found to result in a large increase in binding affinity, which was not obtained when the phenyl group was placed in either the 4- or 5-position of the molecule. Compound 10f was found to have good selectivity for HLE over other proteolytic enzymes, with the exception of bovine pancreatic chymotrypsin (BPC). Substitution of the 6-phenyl group in these molecules was found to decrease binding affinity for BPC without adversely affecting affinity for HLE.

The marine alkaloid amphimedine has been synthesized by a short sequence of reactions commencing from the known indenopyridinedione (2).Reaction with 4-pyridillithium, followed by hydrazoic acid treatment, gave 5-(4-pyridyl)-3,6-phenanthrolin-4(3H)-one (1
