The article was titled 《A Novel Class of Orally Active Non-Peptide Bradykinin B2 Receptor Antagonists. 1. Construction of the Basic Framework》, and you may find the article in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry.Product Details of 79707-11-2 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A novel class of potent, selective, and orally active non-peptide bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor antagonists were designed and synthesized starting from 8-benzyloxyimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivative(I). The unique screening lead I was discovered by a 2-step intentional random screening process, involving recognition of the relationship between BK and angiotensin II (Ang II) and the common structural features. Systematic chem. modification of I elucidated the structural requirements essential for B2 binding affinity leading to the identification of 8-[[3-(N-acylglycyl-N-methylamino)-2,6-dichlorobenzyl]oxy]-3-halo-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine skeleton as the basic framework of this new series of B2 antagonists. A mol. modeling study suggested the key role of the N-methylanilide moiety at the 3-position of the 2,6-dichlorobenzene ring to allow these compounds to adopt the characteristic active conformation. The representative lead compounds inhibited the specific binding of [3H]BK to guinea pig ileum membrane preparations expressing B2 receptors, with nanomolar IC50s and also displayed in vivo functional antagonistic activities against BK-induced bronchoconstriction in guinea pigs at an oral dose of 1 mg/kg. Pharmacokinetic studies of the N-butylamide and Et urea moieties at the 3-position of the 2,6-dichlorobenzene in rats highlighted their excellent oral bioavailabilities, indicating that they represent the first orally active non-peptide B2 antagonists reported to date. In the experiment, the researchers used 2-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-ol(cas: 79707-11-2Product Details of 79707-11-2)
2-Methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-8-ol(cas: 79707-11-2) belongs to imidazoles.Although other azole heterocycles are ubiquitous in a wide range of biologically active natural products, imidazole rings occur predominantly in the natural amino acid histidine. In addition, imidazole rings are part of unnatural cyclic peptides and are used as ester isosteres in peptidomimetic studies. Product Details of 79707-11-2
