- Halogenation of 4-hydroxy/amino-3-methoxyphenyl acetamide TRPV1 agonists showed enhanced antagonism to capsaicin
-
As an extension of our analysis of the effect of halogenation on thiourea TRPV1 agonists, we have now modified selected 4-hydroxy(or 4-amino)-3- methoxyphenyl acetamide TRPV1 agonists by 5- or 6-halogenation on the aromatic A-region and evaluated them for potency for TRPV1 binding and regulation and for their pattern of agonism/antagonism (efficacy). Halogenation shifted the functional activity at TRPV1 toward antagonism with a greater extent of antagonism as the size of the halogen increased (I > Br > Cl), as previously observed for the thiourea series. The extent of antagonism was greater for halogenation at the 5-position than at the 6-position, in contrast to SAR for the thiourea series. In this series, compounds 55 and 75 showed the most potent antagonism, with Ki (ant) = 2.77 and 2.19 nM, respectively, on rTRPV1 expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The compounds were thus ca. 40-60-fold more potent than 6′-iodononivamide.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of benzoic acid derivatives as potent, orally active VLA-4 antagonists
-
A series of benzoic acid derivatives was synthesized as VLA-4 antagonists. Introduction of chlorine or bromine into the 3-position on the central benzene of the diphenylurea portion as in lead compound 2 led to improvement in the pharmacokinetic properties. In particular, 12l demonstrated an acceptable plasma clearance and bioavailability in mice and rats as well as dogs (mice, CL = 18.5 ml/min/kg, F = 28 %; rats, CL = 5.2 ml/min/kg, F = 36 %; dogs, CL = 3.6 ml/min/kg, F = 55 %). Additionally, 12l exhibited potent activity with an IC50 value of 0.51 nM and efficacy by oral administration at a dosage of 10 mg/kg in a rat pleurisy model.
