An iridium-catalyzed direct C-H amidation of weakly coordinating substrates, in particular of those bearing ester and ketone groups, under very mild conditions has been developed. The observed high reaction efficiency was achieved by the combined use of acetic acid and lithium carbonate as additives. Copyright

Our previous studies identified two 2-benzoylaminobenzoate derivatives 1, which potently inhibited superoxide (O2-) generation induced by formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (FMLP) in human neutrophils. In an attempt to improve their activities, a series of anthranilic acid derivatives were synthesized and their anti-inflammatory effects and underlying mechanisms were investigated in human neutrophils. Of these, compounds 17, 18, 46, 49, and 50 showed the most potent inhibitory effect on FMLP-induced release of O2- in human neutrophils with IC50 values of 0.20, 0.16, 0.15, 0.06, and 0.29 μM, respectively. SAR analysis showed that the activities of most compounds were dependent on the ester chain length in the A ring. Conversely, a change in the linker between the A and B ring from amide to sulfonamide or N-methyl amide, as well as exchanges in the benzene rings (A or B rings) by isosteric replacements were unfavorable. Further studies indicated that inhibition of O2- production in human neutrophils by these anthranilic acids was associated with an elevation in cellular cAMP levels through the selective inhibition of phosphodiesterase 4. Compound 49 could be approved as a lead for the development of new drugs in the treatment of neutrophilic inflammatory diseases.
