The present invention provides compounds of the formula Ar1-Q-Ar2-Y-R-Z and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof wherein Ar1 and Ar2 are optionally substituted aryl moieties, Z is an optionally substituted nitrogen-containing moiety which may be an acyclic, cyclic or bicyclic amine or an optionally substituted monocyclic or bicyclic nitrogen-containing heteroaromatic moiety; Q is a linking group capable of linking two aryl groups; R is an alkylene moiety; Y is a linking moiety capable of linking an aryl group to an alkylene moiety and wherein Z is bonded to R through a nitrogen atom. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases which are mediated by LTB4 production, such as proriasis, ulcerative colitis, IBD and asthma.

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a pro-inflammatory mediator that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psoriasis. Since the action of LTA4 hydrolase is the rate-limiting step for LTB4 production, this enzyme represents an attractive pharmacological target for the suppression of LTB4 production. From an in- house screening program, SC-22716 (1, 1-[2-(4- phenylphenoxy)ethyl]pyrrolidine) was identified as a potent inhibitor of LTA4 hydrolase. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies around this structural class resulted in the identification of a number of novel, potent inhibitors of LTA4 hydrolase, several of which demonstrated good oral activity in a mouse ex vivo whole blood assay.

Several drugs bearing the 4-phenoxyphenoxy skeleton and other closely related structures were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antiproliferative agents against Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease. The new class of drugs was envisioned by modifying the nonpolar 4-phenoxyphenoxy moiety replacing selected aromatic protons by different groups via electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions as well as introducing a sulfur atom at file polar extreme. Of the designed compounds, sulfur-containing derivatives were shown to be potent antireplicative agents against T. cruzi. Among these drugs, 4-phenoxyphenoxyethyl thiocyanate (compound 56) proved to be an extremely active growth inhibitor of the epimastigote forms of T. cruzi and displayed an IC500 of 2.2 μM. Under the same assay conditions, this drug was much more active than Nifurtimox, one of the drugs currently in clinical use to control this disease. This thiocyanate derivative was also a very active inhibitor against the intracellular form of the parasite at the nanomolar level. Other sulfur derivatives prepared also exhibited very potent antiproliferative action against T. cruzi. The presence of a sulfur atom at the polar extreme for this family of compounds seems to be very important for biological action because this atom was always associated with high inhibition values. 4-Phenoxyphenoxyethyl thiocyanate presents very good prospective not only as a lead drug but also as a potential chemotherapeutic agent.

Oxime ethers containing a 4-phenoxyphenoxy group in the molecules were synthesized and their insect growth regulating (IGR) activities were studied.Of these new IGR's, propionaldehyde oxime O-2-(4-phenoxyphenoxy)ethyl ether and propionaldehyde oxime O-2-(phenoxyphenoxy)propyl ether were found to be most effective, having much higher activities than methoprene against larvae of Culex pipiens pallens and Musca domestica by the immersion method and medium method, respectively.In addition, the effects of steric isomerism of these compounds were examined; their IGR activities were found to have a close relationship to the juvenile hormone activity by the Galleria wax test.
