RESUMEN
The selectins, a family of adhesion receptors involved in leukocyte extravasation, recognize sialyl Lewis X (sLe(x); NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc) and related oligosaccharides. We used conformational energy computations, high field NMR, and structure-function studies to define distance parameters of critical functional groups of sLe(x). This sLe(x) pharmacophore was used to search a three-dimensional data base of chemical structures. Compounds that had a similar spatial relationship of functional groups were tested as inhibitors of selectin binding. Glycyrrhizin, a triterpene glycoside, was identified and found to block selectin binding to sLe(x) in vitro. We substituted different sugars for the glucuronic acids of glycyrrhizin and found the L-fucose derivative to be the most active in vitro and in vivo. A C-fucoside derivative, synthesized on a linker designed for stability and to more closely approximate the original sLe(x) pharmacophore, resulted in an easily synthesized, effective selectin blocker with anti-inflammatory activity.

WY-50,295 tromethamine demonstrates significant 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity with IC50 values ranging from 0.055 microM in rat peritoneal exudate cells, to 0.16 microM in mouse macrophages, 1.2 microM in human peripheral neutrophils and 8.1 microM in rat blood leukocytes. This activity appeared selective for 5-lipoxygenase as concentrations up to 10 microM in rat peritoneal exudate cells, and 1 microM in mouse macrophages did not effect prostaglandin generation. In non-cellular enzyme assays, WY-50,295 tromethamine displayed inhibitory activity against a soluble 5-lipoxygenase from guinea pig peritoneal exudate cells (IC50 = 5.7 microM), while it was essentially inactive against 12-lipoxygenase, 15-lipoxygenase, or prostaglandin H synthetase at concentrations up to 500 microM, or against human phospholipase A2 at concentrations up to 50 microM. In purified human blood neutrophils the inhibitory activity was reversible but did not appear dependent upon substrate concentration. IN contrast, in the guinea pig cell-free 5-lipoxygenase assay changing the arachidonic acid substrate concentration from 5 to 500 microM produced a concentration-dependent reduction in inhibitory activity. WY-50,295 tromethamine inhibited the release of peptidoleukotrienes from fragmented guinea pig lung with an IC50 of 0.63 microM. When administered p.o. with a 4 h pretreatment time, WY-50,295 tromethamine inhibited ex vivo leukotriene B4 production in rat blood leukocytes with an ED50 of 19.6 mg/kg. Against an ovalbumin-induced leukotriene dependent bronchoconstriction in anesthetized sensitized guinea pigs, WY-50,295 tromethamine inhibited the ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction with an i.v. ED50 of 2.5 mg/kg (5 min pretreatment) and a p.o. ED50 of 7.3 mg/kg (4 h pretreatment). Significant activity was also evident with an 18 h pretreatment. Thus WY-50,295 tromethamine is an potent and selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor in a number of in vitro systems. Additionally the compound is orally efficacious and has a long duration of action in an allergic bronchoconstriction model. This data suggests that WY-50,295 tromethamine may have utility in the treatment of asthma and other leukotriene-dependent pathologies.

In conclusion, an effective modulator of the AA cascade for the treatment of asthma and other inflammatory diseases may require 5-LO inhibitory activity as well as LTD4 antagonism in order to limit the effects of LTB4, LTD4, and 5-HPETE. The unknown role of LTC4 with respect to bronchoconstriction and mucus production could mask the efficacy of a pure LTD4 antagonist in man, whereas the chemotactic property of LTB4 for eosinophils can contribute to lung inflammation. Indeed, it is observed that the blood of patients with bronchial asthma has increased numbers of hypodense eosinophils. In addition, the formation of lipid-derived peroxide radicals, such as 5-HPETE, are believed to be responsible for various types of cellular injuries associated with the inflammatory disease process. Because inhibition of the CO pathway is thought to explain the therapeutic effects of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents in rheumatic diseases, a 5-LO inhibitor with CO inhibitory activity may also be desirable profile for an antiasthma agent. The validation of the LT hypothesis of disease had to wait for the demonstration of a clinical effect by either a LTD4 receptor antagonist or a LT synthesis inhibitor (5-LO inhibitor). Only very recently has this evidence become available and it is now apparent that compounds that antagonize LTD4 receptors or inhibit LT synthesis have shown clinical efficacy in a wide range of diseases. Due to the breakthrough nature of this approach, certain of these compounds are being considered for expedited development. The absence of side effects seen in the clinical trials of selective 5-LO inhibitors is gratifying and argues that LTs are not important in homeostasis. Only time will tell whether 5-LO inhibitors will take their place in the therapeutic armamentarium; however, the recent demonstration of clinical efficacy by a number of these compounds is a significant step in this direction.

WY-50,295 tromethamine inhibited antigen-induced peptidoleukotriene (pLT) release from fragmented sensitized guinea pig lung (IC50 = 0.63 microM), antagonized LTD4-induced contractions of isolated guinea pig trachea (pA2 = 6.06), and suppressed antigen-induced contraction of sensitized guinea pig trachea over the 0.1-10 microM concentration range. In vivo, WY-50,295 tromethamine inhibited LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction (ED50 = 1.3 mg/kg i.v. and 6.6 mg/kg p.o.) and antigen-induced bronchoconstriction (ED50 = 2.5 mg/kg i.v. and 7.3 mg/kg p.o.) in anesthetized guinea pigs. Peak activity vs antigen was noted at 4-6 h after oral dosing and remained significant through 18 h. These studies demonstrate that WY-50,295 tromethamine possesses the complimentary actions of 5-LO inhibition and LTD4 receptor antagonism.

Previously, the conversion of a CO inhibitor, naproxen, into an orally active 5-LO inhibitor, Wy-50,295, by covalent attachment of a quinoline group was reported. The authors now report the extension of this transformation to other CO inhibitors. Replacement of an existing substituent or a hydrogen in sulindac, etodolac, carprofen, diclofenac, oxaprozin, des-alpha-methyl-ketoprofen, or des-alpha-methyl-flurbiprofen by a methoxyquinoline group afforded new hybrid structures which were orally active 5-LO inhibitors in the rat RPAR (reverse passive Arthus reaction) assay. In contrast to Wy-50,295 which is a selective 5-LO inhibitor, some of these new hybrids were dual inhibitors of 5-LO and CO. For example, the quinoline-etodolac hybrid WAY-120,739, (1,8-diethyl-1,3,4,9-tetrahydro-6-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)pyrano [3,4-b]indole-1-acetic acid) was a dual inhibitor of 5-LO and CO (91% and 47% inhibition, respectively at 10 microM, rat PMN). In contrast, the quinoline-flurbiprofen hybrid WAY-121,006, (3-fluoro-4'-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-acetic acid), the quinoline-oxaprozin hybrid, WAY-120,460, (5-phenyl-4-[4-(2- quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl]-2-oxazolepropanoic acid) and the quinoline-carprofen hybrid WAY-120,429 (alpha-methyl-6-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-9-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-9H- carbazole-2-acetic acid) were purely 5-LO inhibitors (100%, 96% and 92% inhibition of 5-LO at 10 microM, rat PMN, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Four series of N-[(arylmethoxy)phenyl] compounds were prepared as leukotriene D4 (LTD4) antagonists. In the hydroxamic acid series, methyl 3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)benzeneacetohydroxamate (Wy-48,422, 20) was the most potent inhibitor of LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction with an oral ED50 of 7.9 mg/kg. Compound 20 also orally inhibited ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig with an ED50 of 3.6 mg/kg. In vitro, against LTD4-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea pretreated with indomethacin and 1-cysteine, 20 produced a pKB value of 6.08. In the sulfonyl carboxamide series, N-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-benzamide (Wy-49,353, 30) was the most potent antagonist. Compound 30 orally inhibited both LTD4- and ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction with ED50s of 0.4 and 20.2 mg/kg, respectively. In vitro, against LTD4-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea, 30 produced a pKB value of 7.78. In the carboxylic acid series, which served as intermediates for the above two series, 3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)benzeneacetic acid (Wy-46,016, 5) was the most potent inhibitor of LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction (99% at 25 mg/kg, intraduodenally); however, the pKB for this compound was disappointing (5.79). In the tetrazole series, the most potent inhibitor was 2-[[3-(1H-tetrazol-5-ylmethyl)phenoxy]methyl]quinoline (Wy-49,451, 41). The respective inhibitory ED50s were 3.0 mg/kg versus LTD4 and 17.5 mg/kg versus ovalbumin. In the isolated guinea pig trachea, 41 produced a pKB value of 6.70.

The following communicates the pharmacology of Wy-48,252 (1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl]methanesulfonamide) a chemically novel and orally potent leukotriene (LT) D4 receptor antagonist. In the isolated guinea-pig trachea pretreated with indomethacin (5 microM) and L-cysteine (10 mM), Wy-48,252 antagonized TD4-induced contraction with a pKB = 7.6. Against LTC4 on tissues pretreated with IND and glutathione (10 mM), Wy-48,252 had a pKB greater than 5. Wy-48,252 (10 microM) did not antagonize pilocarpine-, histamine- or PGF2 alpha-induced tracheal contraction. Further, in the presence of indomethacin and chlorpheniramine (1 microM), Wy-48,252 dose-dependently inhibited the antigen-induced contraction of guinea-pig trachea in a manner consistent with antagonism at the LTD4 receptor and inhibition of LT synthesis. In the Konzett-Rossler model of i.v. LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction in indomethacin treated guinea pigs, intragastric Wy-48,252 (2 hr) had an ID50 of 100 micrograms/kg and a functional half-life of 5 hr. Against i.v. antigen-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs treated with indomethacin and chlorpheniramine, intragastric Wy-48,252 (2 hr) had an ID50 of 0.6 mg/kg and a 5 hr half life. Intragastric Wy-48,252 also selectively blocked the cutaneous wheal reaction to intradermal LTD4 but not histamine. We conclude that Wy-48,252 is distinguished from other selective LTD4 receptor antagonists by its oral potency and should be useful in ascertaining the role of LTD4 mediated processes in asthma, allergy and animal models.

Two series of compounds, N-[(arylmethoxy)phenyl] sulfonamides and N-[(arylmethoxy)naphthyl] sulfonamides, were prepared as leukotriene D4 (LTD4) antagonists. In the phenyl series, N-[3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl]-trifluoromethanesulfonamide (Wy-48,252, 16) was the most potent inhibitor of LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig. With an intragastric ID50 of 0.1 mg/kg (2-h pretreatment), 16 was 300 times more potent than LY-171,883. Compound 16 also intragastrically inhibited ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction in the guinea pig with an ID50 of 0.6 mg/kg. In vitro against LTD4-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig trachea pretreated with indomethacin and L-cysteine, 16 produced a pKB value of 7.7. In the rat PMN assay 16 inhibited both 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase (IC50's = 4.6 and 3.3 microM). In the naphthyl series, N-[7-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)-2-naphthyl]trifluoromethanesulfonamide (Wy-48,090, 47) in addition to potent LTD4 antagonist activity (on isolated guinea pig trachea 47 had a pKB value of 7.04) also had antiinflammatory activity (63% inhibition at 50 mg/kg in the rat carrageenan paw edema assay and 34% inhibition of TPA-induced inflammation at 1 mg/ear in the mouse ear edema model). Perhaps the antiinflammatory activity of 47 was due to its additional activity of inhibiting both 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase enzymes (IC50's = 0.23 and 11.9 microM, respectively, in rat PMN).

WY-47,288 (2-[(1-naphthalenyloxy)methyl]quinoline) demonstrated topical antiinflammatory activity in several animal models of skin inflammation. Application of WY-47,288 to mouse ear surfaces inhibited arachidonic acid (ED50 = 0.3 mg/ear) and tetradecanoylphorbol acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation (40% at 1 mg/ear). Administration of WY-47,288 (1 mg/ear) at 30 min and 5 h after TPA reduced ear edema and epidermal proliferation by 50%. WY-47,288 also inhibited oxazolone-induced contact hypersensitivity in mouse ears (ED50 = 0.4 mg/ear) and UVB-induced guinea pig skin erythema (ED50 approximately 0.25 mg/spot). These antiinflammatory effects may be due to inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and cyclooxygenase (CO) since the synthesis of 5-LO and CO products by rat neutrophils and mouse macrophages was dose-dependently reduced by WY-47,288. By contrast, WY-47,288 demonstrated no appreciable inhibition of 12-LO (rabbit platelet), 15-LO (soybean) or phospholipase A2 (human platelet). Furthermore, no systemic adverse effects were observed after topical, parenteral or oral administration of WY-47,288, suggesting that WY-47,288 is a safe topical 5-LO/CO inhibitor for treating skin inflammation.

The effects of six leukotriene (LT) antagonists on LTC4-, D4- and E4-induced contraction of isolated guinea-pig tracheal spirals were examined. Concentration-response effects of the leukotrienes were determined by cumulative addition in the presence of indomethacin (5 microM) alone for LTE4, or with 10 mM of either glutathione or L-cysteine to inhibit metabolism of LTC4 or LTD4, respectively. Concentration-response curves to the LTs were obtained in the absence and presence of Wy-45,911, Wy-44,329, FPL-55,712, Ly-171,883, Wy-48,252 and ICI-198,615 representing three structurally different chemical groups of LT antagonists. At 30 microM, the antagonists produced little or no antagonism of LTC4-induced contractions. Analysis of the Schild plots for antagonism of LTD4 and E4 suggested two receptors for the agonist effects of LTD4 and a single receptor for the agonist effects of LTE4. Comparison of pA2 values for Wy-45,911, FPL-55,712, LY-171,883 and Wy-48,252 provided evidence that LTE4 is acting at the antagonist high affinity LTD4 receptor to produce contractile effects. From the data, we conclude that there are three LT receptors (one for LTC4 and two LTD4 subtypes) through which exogenously applied LTs evoke contraction of the isolated guinea-pig trachea.

The LTD4 antagonist, Wy-48,252 (1,1,1-trifluoro-N-[3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl]methanesulfonamide), was assessed for its ability to modulate arachidonic acid metabolism in several inflammatory cells. In A23187-stimulated rat neutrophils, Wy-48,252 effectively inhibited the conversion of exogenous [14C]arachidonic acid to radiolabeled 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) and thromboxane B2 (TxB2) (IC50 = 2 and 9.1 microM, respectively). Synthesis of immunoreactive leukotriene B4 (LTB4) (IC50 = 4.6 microM) and TxB2 (IC50 = 3.3 microM) from endogenous substrate by these cells in the absence of [14C]arachidonic acid was similarly reduced. Wy-48,252 also reduced leukotriene C4 (LTC4) and PGE2 synthesis by zymosan-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages (IC50 = 4.4 and 4.3 microM, respectively). 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzed reactions in human neutrophils, lung mast cells and basophils activated by various stimuli were dose dependently inhibited by Wy-48,252 while PGD2 synthesis by lung mast cells was inhibited at 100 microM. By contrast, 12-LO, 15-LO, phosphodiesterase activity and histamine release from mast cells and basophils were unaffected by Wy-48,252. These data suggested that the LTD4 antagonist, Wy-48,252, also inhibited the synthesis of eicosanoids, a feature that may contribute to its pharmacological actions in vivo.

Wy-45,911 (4-[hydroxy-[3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl] amino]-4-oxabutanoic acid, methyl ester) was found to inhibit competitively leukotriene D4 (LTD4)-induced contractions of the isolated guinea pig trachea but not those of leukotriene C4 (LTC4), even in the presence of a gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase inhibitor, reduced glutathione (GSH). Tracheal contractions induced by histamine or pilocarpine were also not significantly altered by Wy-45,911. The drug inhibited the tracheal contractions induced by antigen, even in the presence of GSH. This latter effect resulted from inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO), as the synthesis of 5-LO products by rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes and by mouse macrophages was markedly reduced by Wy-45,911. The drug inhibited both LTD4-induced and antigen-induced bronchoconstriction when injected intraduodenally or intragastrically into intact guinea pigs though it was more potent against LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction. We conclude that Wy-45,911 is a novel, orally active LTD4 antagonist in the guinea pig, with some 5-LO inhibitory activity.

Two series of phenylephrine derivatives were prepared and tested as inhibitors of leukotriene D4 (LTD4) induced and ovalbumin-induced bronchospasm in the guinea pig. The most potent compound of the urea series, (R)-N,N-diethyl-N-[2-hydroxy-2-[3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl]ethyl]-N- methylurea (3, Wy-47,120), was orally active with ED50's of 56 mg/kg vs. LTD4 and 55 mg/kg vs. ovalbumin. When tested as an antagonist of LTD4-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig tracheal strips, 3 was a competitive inhibitor with a p kappa B value of 5.22. In the second series, (R)-3-methyl-5-[3-(2-quinolinylmethoxy)phenyl]-2-oxazolidinone (26, Wy-47,674) had oral ED50's of 36 mg/kg against LTD4 and 95 mg/kg against ovalbumin. Compound 26 selectively antagonized contractile responses of guinea pig trachea evoked by LTD4 (p kappa B = 6.09). In the cat coronary artery, 3 dilated the preparation and blocked the coronary constrictor effect of LTD4. Compound 3 (0.13 mg/kg, iv) also preserved myocardial integrity in rats 48 h after coronary artery ligation. When tested in the rat alcohol-induced gastric lesion model, 3 and 26 manifested a dose-dependent mucosal protection against ethanol.

A series of novel benzoheterocyclic [(methoxyphenyl)amino]oxoalkanoic acid esters has been prepared. These compounds were tested as inhibitors of rat polymorphonuclear leukocyte 5-lipoxgenase (LO) in vitro and as inhibitors of leukotriene D4 (LTD4) and ovalbumin (OA) induced bronchospasm in the guinea pig (GP) in vivo. In general, inhibitory activity against 5-LO, LTD4, and OA was broadest for benzthiazole-containing analogues (benzthiazole greater than benzimidazole much greater than benzoxazole, benzofuran). The most potent 5-LO inhibitor, 4-[[3-(2-benzthiazolylmethoxy)-phenyl]hydroxyamino]-4-oxobutanoic acid methyl ester (7), had an IC50 of 0.36 microM. Compound 7, however, was inactive vs. OA. The most potent compound in vivo, 4-[[3-[(1-methyl-2-benzimidazolyl)methoxy]phenyl]-amino] -4-oxobutanoic acid methyl ester 4, inhibited both LTD4- and OA-induced bronchospasm by 83% and 60%, respectively, at 50 mg/kg intraduodenally. Compound 4 was studied in the Ames assay employing five strains of bacteria (TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98, and TA100) with and without S-9 rat liver enzyme metabolic activation, and there was no significant number of reversions noted.

A series of quinolyl carbanilates was prepared and tested as antilipolytic agents. These compounds inhibited production of glycerol from rat adipocytes and inhibited liberation of free fatty acids from triolein by canine cardiac triglyceride lipases. An extensive structure-activity relationship study indicated that 8-quinolyl 4-methoxycarbanilate (1) contained features necessary for maximum potency in vitro. Substituting a benzofuranyl group for the quinolyl group of 1 provided the most interesting compound on the basis of both potency and structural novelty. 7-Benzofuranyl 4-methoxycarbanilate (44) has IC50's of 16 and 0.3 microM in the myocardial lipase and rat adipocyte assays, respectively. In vivo, compound 44 was orally active as an inhibitor (97% at 25 mg/kg) of lipolysis in the rat.

A series of new substituted arylmethyl phenyl ethers has been prepared. These compounds were tested as inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in rat neutrophils, in vitro antagonists of leukotriene-induced contraction of guinea pig (GP) lung parenchymal strips, and inhibitors of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) mediated bronchospasm in the GP in vivo. Most representatives of this new class of potential antiallergic/antiinflammatory agents showed potent inhibition of 5-LO activity in rat PMNs. The most potent compound, 2-[[3-(1-hydroxyhexyl)phenoxy]-methyl]quinoline (33), had an I50 of 0.12 microM in the rat PMN 5-LO assay and an I50 of 3.6 microM in the leukotriene-induced contraction of GP lung parenchymal strips, and it also showed 91% inhibition of SRS-A-mediated bronchospasm in the GP in vivo at 10 mg/kg, administered intraduodenally. Some of the compounds in this series were also leukotriene antagonists in vitro, and several of them showed in vivo activity against SRS-A-mediated bronchospasm in the GP.

A series of novel substituted [[(phenoxymethyl)phenyl]amino]oxoalkanoic acid esters have been synthesized. These compounds were tested in vitro for their ability to inhibit the synthesis of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid and leukotriene (LT) B4 from rat polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and in vivo as inhibitors ovalbumin- (OA) and LTD4-induced bronchospasm in the guinea pig. Compounds 5-12 and 25 had IC50's between 1 and 5.6 microM in the rat PMN 5-lipoxygenase assay. Compounds 1, 3, and 16 inhibited OA-induced bronchoconstriction (61%, 64%, and 57%, respectively), but only 1 showed activity against LTD4-induced bronchoconstriction. When tested against LTD4-induced contraction of isolated guinea pig tracheal spiral strips, 1 was a competitive inhibitor with a pKB of 4.94.
