Solid-phase parallel synthesis and SAR of 4-amidofuran-3-one inhibitors of cathepsin S: Effect of sulfonamides P3 substituents on potency and selectivity

Highly potent and selective 4-amidofuran-3-one inhibitors of cathepsin S are described. The synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of inhibitors with a sulfonamide moiety in the P3 position is presented. Several members of the series show sub-nanomolar inhibition of the target enzyme as well as an excellent selectivity profile and good cellular potency. Molecular modeling of the most interesting inhibitors describes interactions in the extended S3 pocket and explains the observed selectivity towards cathepsin K.

BICYCLIC COMPOUNDS USEFUL AS CATHEPSIN S INBHIBITORS

Compounds of formula (I), wherein R1, R2, R3, Ra and E are are defined within, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates and N-oxides thereof having utility in the treatment of disorders mediated by cathepsin S.

CATHEPSIN S INHIBITORS

Compounds of the formula (I) where R1 is C1-C4 straight or branched alkyl, optionally substituted with up to three substituents selected from halo and hydroxy; R2 is halo, hydroxy, methyloxy, or C1-C2 alkyl, which alkyl is optionally substituted with up to three halogens or an hydroxy or a methyloxy; D is - C3-C7 alkylene-, thereby defining a cycloalkyl ring; E is -C(=O)-, -S(=O)m-, -NRdS(=O)m-, -NRaC(=O)-, -OC(=O)-, R3 is an optionally substituted carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring R10 is H, ORc, SRc or together with the gem H is =O or (ORc)2; Ra is independently selected from H, C1-C4 alkyl; have utility in the inhibition of cathepsin S and are thus useful pharmaceuticals against disorders such as autoimmune disorders and chronic pain.

Diels-Alder Reaction of 2-Amino-Substituted Furans as a Method for Preparing Substituted Anilines

5-Amino-2-furancarboxylic acid methyl ester undergoes a facile Diels-Alder cycloaddition with a variety of dienophiles to afford ring-opened cycloadducts that are readily dehydrated using BF3-OEt2 to give polysubstituted anilines. In each case, the cycloaddition proceeds with high regioselectivity, with the electron-withdrawing group being located ortho to the amino group. The most favorable FMO interaction is between the HOMO of the furanamine and the LUMO of the dienophile. The atomic coefficient at the ester carbon of the furan is larger than that at the amino center, and this nicely accommodates the observed regioselectivity. The [4 + 2]-cycloaddition of N-(5-nitrofuranyl)morpholine with methyl vinyl ketone affords a mixture of three phenols. One of the phenols is derived from a Diels - Alder reaction followed by nitro group ejection and subsequent aromatization. The remaining two phenols are the result of cleavage of the initially formed oxabicyclic intermediate with concomitant migration of the nitro group. The mild reaction conditions with which furan-2-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester undergoes Diels - Alder cycloaddition with N-phenylmaleimide allow for the ready isolation of the initial oxybridged cycloadduct.

Synthesis of polysubstituted anilines using the Diels-Alder reaction of methyl 5-aminofuroate

Methyl 5-aminofuroate undergoes a facile [4+2]-cycloaddition with a variety of dienophiles to afford ring opened cycloadducts which are readily dehydrated using BF3·OEt2 to give polysubstituted anilines.
