Synthesis and biological activities of 4-phenyl-5-pyridyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives as selective adenosine A3 antagonists

To investigate the potency of an adenosine A3 receptor (A3AR) antagonist as an anti-asthmatic drug, a novel series of 4-phenyl-5-pyridyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives was synthesized and evaluated in human adenosine A1, A2A and A3 receptor and rat adenosine A3 receptor binding assays. From investigation of the SAR study, compound 7af was identified as a highly potent human and rat A3AR antagonist. This compound inhibited IB-MECA-induced plasma protein extravasation in the skin of rats and showed good oral absorption. Also, compound 7af significantly inhibited antigen-induced hyper-responsiveness to acetylcholine in actively sensitized Brown Norway rats. These results show that 4-phenyl-5-pyridyl-1,3-thiazole derivatives are potential candidates to enable the evaluation of A3AR antagonists. Further evaluation of this class of compounds may afford a novel anti-inflammatory agent such as an anti-asthmatic drug.

Synthesis of a naphthyridone p38 MAP kinase inhibitor

Compound 1 is a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor potentially useful for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. A novel six-step synthesis suitable for large-scale preparation was developed in support of a drug development program at Merck Research Laboratories. The key steps include a tandem Heck-lactamization, N-oxidation, and a highly chemoselective Grignard addition of 4-(N-tert-butylpiperidinyl)magnesium chloride to a naphthyridone N-oxide. The N-oxide exerted complete chemoselectivity via chelation in directing the Grignard addition to the alpha position as opposed to 1,4-addition on the ene-lactam. The dihydropyridyl adduct was in situ aromatized with isobutylchloroformate followed by heating in pyridine. Syntheses of Grignard precursor, N-tert-butyl-4-chloro-piperidine, were accomplished via transamination with a quaternary ammonium piperidone or via addition of methylmagnesium chloride to an iminium ion. Utilizing this chemistry, multi-kilogram preparation of compound 1 was successfully demonstrated.

Synthesis and biological activities of novel 2-amino-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives

A series of novel 2-amino-1, 3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by melting points, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS or elemental analysis. Biological activities of all title compounds including fungicidal activity and antivirus activity were evaluated systematically. Preliminary bioassays indicated that these compounds exhibited good fungicidal activity at 50 μg/mL, compounds 4b and 4i exhibited over 50% activity against six fungi tested. Most compounds showed good activity against TMV with different models in vivo at 100 μg/mL. Compounds 4c and 4e stood out with high effects against TMV in vivo in all models tested, including protective, inactivative, curative, and inductive activities. These data demonstrate a new strategy for fungi and virus control.     

Reactions of 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-chloro-1,3-thiazole with N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles

The accessible two-center electrophilic substrate 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-chloro-1,3-thiazole reacts regioselectively with N-, O-, and S-nucleophiles to eliminate a chloride ion. The analog of this substrate, 4-tosyl-2-phenyl-5-p-chlorophenylsulphonyl-1,3-thiazole, reacts with “soft” and “hard” nucleophiles differently: with the participation of C⁵ or C⁴ center, respectively, that seems to be caused by the principle of “symbiosis” in the transition state.

The structural basis for the specificity of pyridinylimidazole inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase

Background: The p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase regulates signal transduction in response to environmental stress. Pyridinylimidazole compounds are specific inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase that block the production of the cytokines interleukin-1 β and tumor necrosis factor α, and they are effective in animal models of arthritis, bone resorption and endotoxin shock. These compounds have been useful probes for studying the physiological functions of the p38-mediated MAP kinase pathway.Results: We report the crystal structure of a novel pyridinylimidazole compound complexed with p38 MAP kinase, and we demonstrate that this compound binds to the same site on the kinase as does ATP. Mutagenesis showed that a single residue difference between p38 MAP kinase and other MAP kinases is sufficient to confer selectivity among pyridinylimidazole compounds.Conclusions: Our results reveal how pyridinylimidazole compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of p38 MAP kinase but not other MAP kinases. It should now be possible to design other specific inhibitors of activated p38 MAP kinase using the structure of the nonphosphorylated enzyme.

Design and synthesis of coumarin substituted oxathiadiazolone derivatives having anti-inflammatory activity possibly through p38 MAP kinase inhibition

Compounds containing oxathiadiazolone nucleus bearing substituted coumarin ring were designed and synthesized while retaining the pharmacophores required for binding with p38 MAP kinase. A four-step synthetic scheme was employed for the synthesis of 7-methoxy-4-(3t?-substituted-2t?-oxo-1t?,2t?,3t?,5t?-oxathiadiazol-4t?-yl)-coumarin. The reactions were monitored by TLC and structures of the intermediates and the target compounds were ascertained by IR, NMR, Mass spectral data. The compounds were found to possess anti-inflammatory activity comparable to indomethacin. Superimposition studies of the target compounds with the lead p38 kinase inhibitors suggested that anti-inflammatory activity of the target compounds may be due to p38 MAP kinase inhibition. It was also suggested that methoxy group on coumarin nucleus may improve the binding profile with p38 MAP kinase.
