Based on benzoxazole and benzothiazole scaffold as an important pharmacophore, two series of 2-(aryloxymethyl) benzoxazole and benzothiazole derivatives were synthesized and their antifungal effects against eight phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated. Compounds 5a, 5b, 5h, and 5i exhibited significant antifungal activities against most of the pathogens tested. Especially 5a, 5b, 5h, 5i, 5j, and 6h inhibited the growth of F. solani with IC50 of 4.34–17.61 μg/mL, which were stronger than that of the positive control, hymexazol (IC50 of 38.92 μg/mL). 5h was the most potent inhibitor (IC50 of 4.34 μg/mL) against F. Solani, which was about nine times more potent than hymexazol. Most of the test compounds displayed significant antifungal effects against B. cinerea (IC50 of 19.92–77.41 μg/mL), among them, 5a was the best one (IC50 of 19.92 μg/mL). The structure-activity relationships (SARs) were compared and analyzed. The result indicates that the electron-drawing ability and position of the substituents have a significant impact on biological activities. Furthermore, docking studies were carried out on the lipid transfer protein sec14p from S. cerevisiae, and preliminarily verified the antifungal activities. Taken together, these results provide 2-(phenoxymethyl)benzo[d]oxazole as an encouraging framework that could lead to the development of potent novel antifungal agents.

Date Nov. 27, 1997This invention relates to chalcone derivatives represented by the following formula (1): wherein A represents a phenyl group, a quinolyl group or the like, W represents a vinylene group or the like, and R1 to R5 each independently represent a carboxyl, cyano, alkyloxycarbonyl or like group, or salts of the chalcone derivatives, and also to drugs containing them as effective ingredients. These compounds have excellent cys-LT receptor antagonism, and are useful as antiallergic agents or the like.

A novel series of heteroarylmethoxyphenylalkoxyiminoalkylcarboxylic acids was studied as leukotriene biosynthesis inhibitors. A hypothesis of structure-activity optimization by insertion of an oxime moiety was investigated using REV-5901 as a starting point. A systematic structure- activity optimization showed that the spatial arrangement and stereochemistry of the oxime insertion unit proved to be important for inhibitory activity. The promising lead, S-(E)-11, inhibited LTB4 biosynthesis in the intact human neutrophil with IC50 of 8 nM and had superior oral activity in vivo, in a rat pleurisy model (ED50 = 0.14 mg/kg) and rat anaphylaxis model (ED50 = 0.13 mg/kg). In a model of lung inflammation, S-(E)-11 blocked LTE4 biosynthesis (ED50 of 0.1 mg/kg) and eosinophil influx (ED50 of 0.2 mg/kg). S-(E)-11 (A-93178) was selected for further preclinical evaluation.

The synthesis and CysLT1 antagonistic activities of a new series of 2- , 3-, and 4-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)- and 3- and 4-[2-(2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]- substituted, 2'-, 3'-, 4'-, or 5'-carboxylated chalcones are described. Structure-activity relationship studies indicate a preference for the presence of a negatively charged (acidic) moiety, although in some cases nitrile or ester analogues also exhibit moderate activity. The quinoline moiety may be substituted at either the 3- or the 4-position. Replacement of this heterocycle by other aromatic groups results in compounds with comparable affinities [2-(7-chloroquinoline), 1-(1-methyl-2-benzimidazole), or 1-(2-benzothiazole)] or substantially lower activities [1-(1- ethoxyethyl)-2-benzimidazole, 2-naphthyl, or phenyl]. The quinoline and chalcone moieties may be connected by either an ethenyl or a methoxy spacer. The acidic moiety at the chalcone B ring may be attached to the 2'-, 3'-, 4'- , or 5'-position, for both the 3- and 4-substituted chalcones. There are no general patterns to specify which substitution positions gave the most potent compounds. The series contains several potent CysLT1 receptor antagonists, with K(D) values approaching the nanomolar range, as measured by the displacement of [3H]LTD4 from guinea pig lung membranes. Antagonism of LTD4-induced contraction of guinea pig ileum, the inhibition of antigen- induced contraction of guinea pig trachea in vitro, and the inhibition of LTD4-induced increase of vascular permeability in vivo are determined for chalcones with high CysLT1 receptor affinities (K(D) values below 0.1μM). 2'-Hydroxy-4-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-5'-(5-tetrazolyl)chalcone (14, VUF 4819) showed good activity in both in vitro and in vivo assays and has been selected for further evaluation.
