Novel prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) receptor antagonists were synthesized as a potential new class of antiallergic agents having a bicyclo[2.2.1] heptane ring system with sulfonamide groups. Some of them exhibit extremely potent antagonism of the PGD2 receptor in radioligand binding and cAMP formation assays with IC50 values below 50 nM and much less antagonism of TXA2 and PGI2 receptors. These potent PGD2 receptor antagonists, when given orally, dramatically suppress various allergic inflammatory responses such as increased vascular permeability in allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and asthma models. The excellent pharmacological profiles of PGD2 receptor antagonists, originally synthesized in our laboratories, are of potentially great clinical significance. This study also provides experimental evidence suggesting that PGD2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases.

Various N-sulfonylamino acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro and in vivo activities to inhibit type IV collagenase (MMP-9 and MMP-2). When the amino acid residue and the sulfonamide moiety were modified, their inhibitory activities were greatly affected by the structure of the sulfonamide moiety. A series of aryl sulfonamide derivatives containing biaryl, tetrazole, amide, and triple bond were found to be potent and highly selective inhibitors of MMP-9 and MMP-2. In addition, these compounds were orally active in animal models of tumor growth and metastasis. These results revealed the potential of the N-sulfonylamino acid derivatives as a new type of candidate drug for the treatment of cancer.
