Abstract: | An efficient synthesis of new γ,δ-insaturated δ-lactam and glutarimide derivatives bearing a phosphonomethyl group from a common allylphosphonate precursor is described. Our approach is based on a two-step procedure involving the preparation of phosphonated-1,5-ketoester and −1,5-diester followed by an amidation–heterocyclization sequence. The first step proceeds via Michael's addition of ethyl acetoacetate and diethyl malonate on an allylphosphonate starting material. The second step consists of a base-promoted intramolecular amidation-cyclization sequence with primary amines, which accounts for the construction of δ-lactams and glutarimide skeletons. We performed the evaluation of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition using an in vitro enzyme assay on six new compounds. Five compounds showed potent ACE inhibitory activity, with IC50 values ranging from 0.02 to 0.27 mg/ml. Compared with Captopril, used as a reference drug, two new glutarimide derivatives exhibited higher efficiency ACE inhibition activity. |
