RESUMO
Pyrrolopiperidinone acetic acids (PPAs) were identified as highly potent CRTh2 receptor antagonists. In addition, many of these compounds displayed slow-dissociation kinetics from the receptor. Structure-kinetic relationship (SKR) studies allowed optimisation of the kinetics to give potent analogues with long receptor residence half-lives of up to 23 h. Low permeability was a general feature of this series, however oral bioavailability could be achieved through the use of ester prodrugs.

Extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) and structure-kinetic relationship (SKR) studies in the bicyclic heteroaromatic series of CRTh2 antagonists led to the identification of several molecules that possessed both excellent binding and cellular potencies along with long receptor residence times. A small substituent in the bicyclic core provided an order of magnitude jump in dissociation half-lives. Selected optimized compounds demonstrated suitable pharmacokinetic profiles.

The correct positioning and orientation of an hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) in the tail portion of the biaryl series of CRTh2 antagonists is a requirement for long receptor residence time. The HBA in combination with a small steric substituent in the core section (R(core) ≠ H) gives access to compounds with dissociation half-lives of ⩾ 24h.

High throughput screening identified the pyrazole-4-acetic acid substructure as CRTh2 receptor antagonists. Optimisation of the compounds uncovered a tight SAR but also identified some low nanomolar inhibitors.

The most common age-related heart valve diseases include aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve insufficiency. The suture material is not the focus of most studies. The aim of the study was to assess the performance of PremiCron suture material for cardiac valve reconstruction and/or replacement under clinical routine. Performance was evaluated using the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) combined with endocarditis. Materials and methods: The study was designed as an international, prospective, bicentric, observational, single-arm study to evaluate the PremiCron suture material in cardiac valve surgery and compare the outcome with literature data regarding postoperative complications. The primary endpoint was a composite of MACCE acquired in the hospital, combined with endocarditis occurring up to 6 months postoperatively. The secondary parameters were intraoperative handling of the suture, incidence of MACCE and other relevant complications and quality of life up to 6 months after surgery. Patients were examined at discharge, 30 days, and 6 months postoperatively. Results: A total of 198 patients were enrolled in two centers in Europe. The cumulative primary endpoint event rate was 5.0%, lower than the reference value of 8.2% from the literature. Comparison of the incidence of individual MACCE until discharge and endocarditis rate 6 months postoperatively also showed that our data were within the range of the published rates. Quality of life significantly increased from preoperatively to 6 months after surgery. Ease of handling of the suture material was rated as very good. Conclusion: The PremiCron suture material is safe and very eligible for cardiac valve replacement and/or cardiac valve reconstruction in a broad patient population with a cardiac valve disorder treated under daily clinical practice.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is performed to improve quality of life and to reduce cardiac-related mortality and morbidity in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present observational study was to assess the performance of a new suture material (Optilene) for anastomosis construction in CABG surgery using a routine clinical procedure. Performance was assessed using the incidence of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). METHODS: The study was designed as an international, multi-centre, prospective cohort study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new non-absorbable monofilament for CABG surgery compared to data published in a previous meta-analysis. Optilene suture was used to create the distal and proximal coronary artery anastomoses. The primary endpoint was the cumulative MACCE rate up to discharge. Secondary parameters were intraoperative handling of the suture material and QoL up to 3 months after surgery. Patients were examined 30 days and 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS: In total, 199 patients were enrolled in 3 centres in Europe. The cumulative CABG adverse event rate up to the day of discharge was 3%, in contrast to the 8.46% given by the data generated by Nalysnyk et al. A t-test showed that our CABG rate was significantly lower. QoL significantly increased from preoperatively until 3 months after surgery. Ease of handling the suture material was rated as very good. CONCLUSION: Optilene suture material represents a safe and effective alternative to existing sutures used in CABG surgery for anastomosis construction.
RESUMO
Rational design of a novel template of naphthyridinones rapidly led to PDE4 inhibitors with subnanomolar enzymatic potencies. X-ray crystallography confirmed the binding mode of this novel template. We achieved compounds with double-digit picomolar enzymatic potencies through further structure-based design by targeting both the PDE4 enzyme metal-binding pocket and occupying the solvent-filled pocket. A strategy for lung retention and long duration of action based on low aqueous solubility was followed. In vivo efficacies were measured in a rat lung neutrophilia model by suspension microspray and dry powder administration. Suspension microspray of potent compounds showed in vivo efficacy with a clear dose-response. Despite sustained lung levels, dry powder administration performed much less well and without proper dose-response, highlighting clear differences between the two formulations. This indicates a deficiency in the low aqueous solubility strategy for long duration lung efficacy.

Monocyclic and bicyclic ring systems were investigated as the "core" section of a series of diphenylsulphone-containing acetic acid CRTh2 receptor antagonists. A range of potencies were observed and single-digit nanomolar potencies were obtained in both the monocyclic and bicyclic cores. Residence times for the monocyclic compounds were very short. Some of the bicyclic cores displayed better residence times. A methyl group in the northern part of the core, between the head and tail was a necessary requirement for the beginnings of long residence times. Variations of the tail substitution maximised potencies and residence times.

Cyclic nucleotide cAMP is a ubiquitous secondary messenger involved in a plethora of cellular responses to biological agents involving activation of adenylyl cyclase. Its intracellular levels are tightly controlled by a family of cyclic nucleotide degrading enzymes, the PDEs. In recent years, cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) has aroused scientific attention as a suitable target for anti-inflammatory therapy in respiratory diseases, particularly in the management of asthma and COPD. Here we describe our efforts to discover novel, highly potent inhaled inhibitors of PDE4. Through structure based design, with the inclusion of a variety of functional groups and physicochemical profiles in order to occupy the solvent-filled pocket of the PDE4 enzyme, we modified the structure of our oral PDE4 inhibitors to reach compounds down to picomolar enzymatic potencies while at the same time tackling successfully an uncovered selectivity issue with the adenosine receptors. In vitro potencies were demonstrated in a rat lung neutrophilia model by administration of a suspension with a Penn-Century MicroSprayer Aerosolizer.

In this manuscript, the synthesis and biological activity of a series of pyrazole acetic acid derivatives as CRTh2 antagonists is presented. Biological evaluation in vitro revealed that the pyrazole core showed in several cases a different structure-activity relationship (SAR) to that of related indole acetic acid. A potent series of ortho-sulfonyl benzyl substituents was found, from which compounds 27 and 63 were advanced to in vivo profiling.
