- Metabolism study and biological evaluation of bosentan derivatives
-
Bosentan, the first-in-class drug used in treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension, is principally metabolized by the cytochromes P450, and it is responsible for cytochromes induction and drug-drug interaction events with moderate to severe consequences. A strategy to reduce drug-drug interactions consists of increasing the metabolic stability of the perpetrator, and fluorinated analogues are often designed to block the major sites of metabolism. In this paper bosentan analogues were synthesized, and their metabolism and biological activity were evaluated. All synthesized compounds showed an improved metabolic stability towards CYP2C9, with one maintaining a moderate antagonist effect towards the ETA receptor.

- The discovery of N -[5-(4-bromophenyl)-6-[2-[(5-bromo-2-pyrimidinyl)oxy] ethoxy]-4-pyrimidinyl]- N ′-propylsulfamide (macitentan), an orally active, potent dual endothelin receptor antagonist
-
Starting from the structure of bosentan (1), we embarked on a medicinal chemistry program aiming at the identification of novel potent dual endothelin receptor antagonists with high oral efficacy. This led to the discovery of a novel series of alkyl sulfamide substituted pyrimidines. Among these, compound 17 (macitentan, ACT-064992) emerged as particularly interesting as it is a potent inhibitor of ETA with significant affinity for the ET B receptor and shows excellent pharmacokinetic properties and high in vivo efficacy in hypertensive Dahl salt-sensitive rats. Compound 17 successfully completed a long-term phase III clinical trial for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

- AN IMPROVED PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF BOSENTAN
-
The present application provides purification of Bosentan crude by making its crystalline potassium salt, which is further converted to Bosentan (I) with bis-sulfonamide (VIII) and deshydroxyethyl (IX) impurities to less than 0.2% by HPLC analysis.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of potent and orally active sulfonamide ETB selective antagonists
-
The synthesis and structure-activity relationships of a series of N-pyrimidinyl benzenesulfonamides as ETB selective antagonists are described. N-Isoxazolyl benzenesulfonamide 1a, previously reported, was selected as a lead compound, and isosteric replacement of the isoxazole ring of 1a with a pyrimidine ring led to the discovery of the highly potent ETB selective antagonist 6e with oral bioavailability. Modification of the terminal aldehyde group at the 6-position of the pyrimidine ring was investigated, and malonate 15b and acylhydrazone 16f were found to be equipped to aldehyde 6e. Compound 6e showed ETB antagonistic activity on in vivo evaluation. Copyright
