In this study, the synthesis and biological evaluation of heteroaryl-substituted dihydronaphthalenes and indenes (1-16) is described. The compounds were tested for activity by use of human CYP11B2 expressed in fission yeast and V79 MZh cells and for selectivity by use of human CYP11B1, CYP17, and CYP19. The most active inhibitor was the 6-methoxydihydronaphthalene 4 (IC 50 = 2 nM), showing a Ki value of 1.3 nM and a competitive type of inhibition. The 5-methoxyindene 3 was found to be the most selective CYP11B2 inhibitor (IC50 = 4 nM; CYP11B1 IC50 = 5684 nM), which also showed only marginal inhibition of human CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Docking and molecular dynamics studies using our homology-modeled CYP11B2 structure were performed to understand some structure-activity relationships. Caco-2 cell experiments revealed highly cell-permeable compounds, and metabolic studies with 4 using rat liver microsomes showed sufficient stability.

A series of N-imidazol-1-yl derivatives of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, 2H-1-benzopyran and some related compounds were synthesized and tested as inhibitors of thromboxane A2 synthase in ex vivo experiments with orally treated rats.Some compounds showed good activity which was confirmed in experiments in vitro in rabbit whole blood.Some structural requirements for significant TxA2 synthase inhibitory activity are discussed.The selected 5,6-dihydro-7-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2-naphthalene-carboxylic acid (compound 7) was conformationally analysed using the Sybyl molecular model system in comparison with dazoxiben.Compound 7 was further pharmacologically investigated and on the basis of its interesting activities in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo and its low toxicity was selected for clinical investigation.
