Abstract

20-hydroxyecosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) and epoxyecosatetraenoic acids (EETs) are metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) formed via CYP hydroxylases and CYP epoxygenases. 20-HETE is a potent vasoconstrictor while EETs show opposite vasodilation activity. A number of studies suggest neuroprotective effects of 20-HETE formation inhibition in animal models of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and ischemic stroke. These results indicate that 20-HETE formation inhibition is a promising approach for the treatment of brain injury after stroke. Several compounds, such as, 1-ABT, 17-ODYA, 10-SUYS, DDMS and DBDD show 20-HETE formation inhibition. However, their use in treatment has been impeded by shortcomings such as weak potency, low selectivity and poor BBB penetration. 20-HETE formation inhibitors HET0016 and TS-011 exhibit high potency and selectivity but are plagued by poor pharmacokinetic properties. Compound 24 is another 20-HETE formation inhibitor where the labile formamidine moiety seen in HET0016 and TS-011 is replaced with its isostere pyrazole. Unfortunately, compound 24 still suffers from poor metabolic stability. Novel leads UPMP00010 and UPMP00019 were synthesized in the McDermott lab with higher metabolic stability than 24. Their derivatives with simple non-halogen substitutions on the phenyl moiety show improved potency. This work was focused on the synthesis of compounds with halogen substitutions on the UPMP00010/UPMP00019 scaffold with the aim to evaluate their biological activities. 20 compounds with CNS drug likeness characteristics were synthesized. Available data for these compounds shows that compound 16a has very high potency against 20-HETE formation in human and rat microsomal preparations (IC50=49.5 nM in HLM, IC50=337 nM in RLM) and high metabolic stability (100% of original compound remaining after 30 minutes incubation in HLM). Compound 17a also shows high potency and metabolic stability (100% @30 min incubation in HLM) as well as high CNS permeability potential (Papp, A-B=41.8×10-6 cm/s, efflux ratio=0.672). Compounds 20a and 21a are also attractive according to their activities in both human and rat microsomes.
