Leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors have potential as new therapies for asthma and inflammatory diseases. The recently disclosed thiopyrano[2,3,4- cd]indole class of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors has been investigated with particular emphasis on the side chain bearing the acidic functionality. The SAR studies have shown that the inclusion of a heteroatom (O or S) in conjunction with an α-ethyl substituted acid leads to inhibitors of improved potency. The most potent inhibitor prepared contains a 2-ethoxybutanoic acid side chain. This compound, 14d (2-[2-[1-(4-chlorobenzyl)-4-methyl-6-[(5- phenylpyridin-2-yl)methoxy]-4,5-dihydro-1H-thiopyrano[2,3,4-cd]indol-2- yl]ethoxy]butanoic acid, L-699,333), inhibits 5-HPETE production by human 5- LO and LTB4 biosynthesis by human PMN leukocytes and human whole blood (IC50s of 22 nM, 7 nM and 3.8 μM, respectively). The racemic acid 14d has been shown to be functionally active in a rat pleurisy model (inhibition of LTB4, ED50 = 0.65 mg/kg, 6 h pretreatment) and in the hyperreactive rat model of antigen-induced dyspnea (50% inhibition at 2 and 4 h pretreatment; 0.5 mg/kg po). In addition, 14d shows excellent functional activity against antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in the conscious squirrel monkey [89% inhibition of the increase in R(L) and 68% inhibition in the decrease in C(dyn) (0.1 mg/kg, n = 3)] and in the conscious sheep models of asthma (iv infusion at 2.5 μg/kg/min). Acid 14d is highly selective as an inhibitor of 5-LO activity when compared to the inhibition of human 15-LO, porcine 12-LO and ram seminal vesicle cyclooxygenase (IC50 > 5 μM) or competition in a FLAP binding assay (IC50 > 10 μM). Resolution of 14d affords 14g, the most potent diastereomer, which inhibits the 5-HPETE production of human 5-LO and LTB4 biosynthesis of human PMN leukocytes and human whole blood with IC50s of 8 nM, 4 nM, and 1 μM respectively. The in vitro and in vivo profile of 14d is comparable to that of MK-0591, which has showed biochemical efficacy in inhibiting ex vivo LTB4 biosynthesis and urinary LTE4 excretion in clinical trials.

Thiopyrano[2,3,4-c,d]indoles are a new class of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) inhibitors. SAR studies have demonstrated that the thiopyran ring, the 5- phenylpyridine substituent, and an acidic functional group on a four-carbon C-2 side chain are all required for optimal inhibitor potency. In contrast, the indolic nitrogen may be substituted with a variety of lipophilic groups. As a result of the SAR investigation, 44 (L-691,816; 5-[3-[1-(4- chlorobenzyl)-4-methyl-6-[(5-phenylpyridin-2-yl)methoxy]-4,5-dihydro-1H- thiopyrano[2,3,4-c,d]indol-2-yl]-2,2-dimethylpropyl]-1H-tetrazole) has been identified as a potent inhibitor of the 5-LO reaction both in vitro and in a range of in vivo models. Compound 44 inhibits 5-HPETE production by both rat and human 5-LO and LTB4 synthesis in human PMN leukocytes (IC50s 16, 75, and 10 nM, respectively). The mechanism of inhibition of 5-LO activity by compound 44 appears to involve the formation of a reversible deadend complex with the enzyme and does not involve reduction of the nonheme iron of 5-LO. Compound 44 is highly selective for 5-LO when compared to the inhibition of human FLAP, porcine 12-LO, and also ram seminal vesicle cyclooxygenase. In addition, 44 is orally active in a rat pleurisy model (inhibition of LTB4, ED50 = 1.9 mg/kg; 8 h pretreatment) as well as in the hyperreactive rat model of antigen-induced dyspnea (ED50 = 0.1 mg/kg; 2-h pretreatment). Excellent functional activity was also observed in both the conscious allergic monkey and sheep models of asthma. In the latter case, the functional activity observed correlated with the inhibition of urinary LTE4 excretion.
