FPR1 ANTAGONIST DERIVATIVES AND USE THEREOF

A dipeptide derivative as formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) antagonist is provided. The dipeptide derivative is represented by formula (I), wherein: the chiral centers in formula (I) are S and R configurations respectively; each of RK and RT is selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, a C1-C4 alkyl-substituted hydroxyl group, a C1-C4 alkoxyl group, a carboxylic acid group, a C1-C4 alkyl nitrile-substituted, C1-C4 alkyl-substituted or C1-C4 alkoxyl-substituted amido group, a C1-C4 alkyl-substituted ester group and a benzoyl group having a C1-C4 alkyl-substituted benzene ring; and each of RM and RS is selected from a group consisting of a hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, a phenyl group, a pyridinyl group, a carboxylic acid group, a C1-C4 alkoxyl substituted ester group, and a benzoyl group having a hydroxyl-substituted, a halogen-substituted, a C1-C4 alkoxyl-substituted or a C1-C4 alkyl-substituted benzene ring.

Design and synthesis of tryptophan containing dipeptide derivatives as formyl peptide receptor 1 antagonist

Our previous studies identified an Fmoc-(S,R)-tryptophan-containing dipeptide derivative, 1, which selectively inhibited neutrophil elastase release induced by formyl-l-methionyl-l-leucyl-l-phenylalanine (FMLP) in human neutrophils. In an attempt to improve pharmacological activity, a series of tryptophan-containing dipeptides were synthesized and their pharmacological activities were investigated in human neutrophils. Of these, five compounds 3, 6, 19a, 24a, and 24b exhibited potent and dual inhibitory effects on FMLP-induced superoxide anion (O2-) generation and neutrophil elastase release in neutrophils with IC50 values of 0.23/0.60, 1.88/2.47, 1.87/3.60, 0.12/0.37, and 1.32/1.03 μM, respectively. Further studies indicated that inhibition of superoxide production in human neutrophils by these dipeptides was associated with the selective inhibition of formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1). Furthermore, the results of structure-activity relationship studies concluded that the fragment N-benzoyl-Trp-Phe-OMe (3) was most suitable as a core structure for interaction with FPR1, and may be approved as a lead for the development of new drugs in the treatment of neutrophilic inflammatory diseases. As some of the synthesized compounds exhibited separable conformational isomers, and showed diverse bioactivities, the conformation analysis of these compounds is also discussed herein.
