摘要
The synthesis and the biological evaluation of new potent phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitors are presented. This new series was elaborated by replacement of the metabolically resistant phenyl hexafluorocarbinol of L-791,943 (1) by a substituted aminopyridine residue, The structure-activity relationship of N-substitution on 3 led to the identification of (-)-3n which exhibited a good PDE4 inhibitor activity (HWB-TNFalpha=0.12 muM) and an improved pharmacokinetic profile over L-791,943 (rat t(1/2) = 2 h). (-)-3n was well tolerated in ferret with an emetic threshold of 30 mg/kg (po) and was found to be active in the ovalbumin-induced bronchoconstriction model in guinea pig (54%, 0.1 mg/kg, ip) as well as the ascaris-induced bronchoconstriction model in sheep (64%/97%. early,,late, 0.5 mg/kg. iv).
