A novel class of potent and selective non-peptide neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y1 receptor antagonists, having benzazepine nuclei, have been designed, synthesized, and evaluated for activity. Through a blind screening we found the compound 1-N-(3-(N' -(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)benzyl)-7-methoxy-3-(3)-methylureido)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-one (9: IC50 =1.6 μM). Chemical modifications of 9 gave a potent NPY Y1 antagonist 3-(N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-N0 -methylguanidino)-1-N-(3-(N'-(tert- butoxycarbonyl)amino)benzyl)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-1-benzazepin-2-one (14c: IC50 =43 nM), which had no affnity for NPY Y2 and Y5 receptors.

A lead compound which had sub-micromolar affinity for the rabbit NK1 receptor but negligible affinity for rat NK1 receptors, 3a, was discovered by directed screening. 2-Substitution in the ring of the benzylthiourea substituent in the initial lead was found to be important, and halogens (Cl, Br) in this position were found to improve affinity for the human receptor. The activity of a series of 2-halo-substituted benzylthioureas was then optimized by modification of the proline diphenylmethyl amide, guided by a simple conceptual model based on structural overlay between these early antagonists and NK1 selective peptides. In this way, aromatic amino acid amides were identified which had improved affinity with respect to the starting diphenylmethyl (DPM) amides. The first sub-nanomolar ligand for the human NK1 receptor which arose from this series, 4af, combined a 2- chlorobenzylthiourea unit with a 2-naphthylalanine amide. Contemporaneously it was discovered that the benzylthiourea unit could be simplified to a phenylthiourea providing that an appropriate 2-substituent was also incorporated. Combination of these two series gave 2-NO2 phenylthiourea analogues which led directly to the analogous urea, 5f (2- nitrophenylcarbamoyl-(S)-prolyl-(S)-3-(2-naphthyl)alanyl-N-benzy-N- methylamide, SDZ NKT 343), a highly potent ligand for the human NK1 receptor (K(i) = 0.16 nM). In addition to its high in vitro potency, 5f proved to be a potent orally active analgesic in guinea pig models of chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain. The nature of the 2-aryl substituent was found to be critical for oral activity in this series. Clinical evaluation of 5f as a novel analgesic agent is currently underway.

The first structure-activity study involving the 1,2-dithiin class of compounds (1,2-dithiacyclohexadienes) is herein reported.A series of 3,6-disubstituted 1,2-dithiins was synthesized from dithiins 1d and 1e and evaluated as antifungal agents.A new and versatile synthesis of dithiins 1d and 1e is reported which is amenable to scale-up at the kilogram level.The novelty of the process derives from the use of β-mercaptopropionitrile as the thiophile, relying on a β-elimination strategy and subsequent oxidation to create the 1,2-dithiin ring.Optimal geometries of dithiins 1d, 18i, and 45 and model dithiin 61 were determined by molecular mechanics and Hartree-Fock molecular orbital calculations.Two possible mechanisms of action are presented for the 1,2-dithiin class of compounds to explain their observed antifungal activities against Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus.
