Mono- and dihydroxylated metabolites of thalidomide were efficiently prepared and characterized, and their inhibitory activity on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α production in the human monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 was evaluated. 5,N-Dihydroxythalidomide was a much more potent TNF-α production inhibitor than thalidomide.

Versatile synthesis of the teratogenic, TNFα-modulatory, and antiangiogenic thalidomide analogue 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)phthalimidine (1) and its direct antiangiogenic properties are described. With thalidomide or thalidomide derivatives as precursors, the synthesis involved either carbonyl reduction/thiation-desulfurization or carbonyl reduction/acyliminium ion reduction protocols. Compared to earlier studies with thalidomide, which was only active with microsomal treatment, 1 exhibited marginal inhibitory activity in the rat aortic ring assay, thereby demonstrating the requirement for metabolic activation.
