ABSTRACT
Endogenous nitrosothiols (SNOs) including S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) serve as reservoir for bioavailable nitric oxide (NO) and mediate NO-based signaling, inflammatory status and smooth muscle function in the lung. GSNOR inhibition increases pulmonary GSNO and induces bronchodilation while reducing inflammation in lung diseases. In this letter, design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships (SAR) of novel imidazole-biaryl-tetrazole based GSNOR inhibitors are described. Many potent inhibitors (30, 39, 41, 42, 44, 45 and 58) were identified with low nanomolar activity (IC50s <15â¯nM) along with adequate metabolic stability. Lead compounds 30 and 58 exhibited good exposure and oral bioavailability in mouse pharmacokinetic (PK) study. Compound 30 was selected for further profiling and revealed comparable mouse and rat GSNOR potency, high selectivity against alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and carbonyl reductase (CBR1) family of enzymes, low efflux ratio and permeability in PAMPA, a high permeability in CALU-3 assay, significantly low hERG activity and minimal off-target activity. Further, an in vivo efficacy of compound 30 is disclosed in cigarette smoke (CS) induced mouse model for COPD.
