- The discovery of 1,2,3,9b-tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-ones as a new class of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion inhibitors. Part 1
-
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of respiratory tract infections in infants, young children and adults. Compound 1a (9b-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1,2,3,9b-tetrahydro-5H-imidazo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-one) was identified as an inhibitor of A and B strains of RSV targeting the fusion glycoprotein. SAR was developed by systematic exploration of the phenyl (R1) and benzoyl (R2) groups. Furthermore, introduction of a nitrogen at the 8-position of the tricyclic core resulted in active analogues with improved properties (aqueous solubility, protein binding and log D) and excellent rat pharmacokinetics (e.g., rat oral bioavailability of 89% for compound 17).

- Novel antiasthmatic agents with dual activities of thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibition and bronchodilation. 1. 2-[2-(1-imidazolyl)alkyl]- 1(2H)-phthalazinones
-
A number of 4-substituted 2-[ω-(1-imidazolyl)alkyl]-1(2H)-phthalazinones were synthesized in order to develop agents possessing both thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitory and bronchodilatory activities. The pharmacological evaluation of these compounds disclosed that they have both activities to various extents. Both activities were slightly dependent on the length of the 2-substituents and largely affected by the nature of the 4-substituents. Compounds bearing phenyl and thienyl groups exhibited relatively high and well-rounded activities. Among these compounds, 12j and 15f were found to be the most effective agents having well-rounded activities in vitro and in vivo. Introduction of a carboxyl group reduced both activities contrary to our expectation. 4-(3-Pyridyl)phthalazinone 18b was of particular interest because of unexpectedly high in vivo activities in spite of an absence of significant in vitro activities.

- NEW METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING PYRIDYL- AND QUINOLYLCARBONYLARENECARBOXYLIC ACIDS
-
An original method has been developed for the synthesis of a number of pyridyl- and quinolylcarbonylarenecarboxylic acids by condensing anhydrides of aromatic dicarboxylic acids with picolinic and quinaldic acids.The characteristics of the IR spectra of the compounds synthesized are given, and their ring chain equilibrium transformations are discussed.It has been shown that the protonation of the nitrogen atom of the heterocycle stabilizes the cyclic form.
