Antioxidant-based inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis. The discovery of 6-[1-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-1-propen-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-5- benzofuranol, a potent topical antiinflammatory agent.

Abstract：

:The leukotrienes, metabolites of arachidonic acid produced through the action of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase, are important mediators of immediate hypersensitivity and inflammation. Among the variety of diseases in which the leukotrienes may play a symptomatic or causative role is the dermatological condition psoriasis, a chronic proliferative disease of the skin. This study reports the synthesis and comparative biological activities of various ortho-substituted phenols including 4-methoxyphenols, 6-hydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrobenzopyrans, 2,3-dihydro-5-benzofuranols, and 5-benzofuranols. The phenols prepared in this study were evaluated for their ability to inhibit the production of leukotriene B4(LTB4) in isolated human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and to inhibit a topical inflammatory response in the topical mouse ear (TME) model. In the former case, when the log IC50 was plotted versus the log of the octanol/water partition coefficient (log P), to eliminate the effect of lipophilicity, the 2,3-dihydro-5-benzofuranol ring system was shown to be more potent than the other ring systems examined throughout the range of partition coefficients studied. The ability to inhibit leukotriene production in vitro in human PMNs can be rationalized on the basis of a model that suggests that the observed inhibition is dependent on the kinetic ability of the inhibitor to reduce a radical species and on the fraction of inhibitor that is partitioned into the cell membrane. While the in vivo antiinflammatory activity as measured by the TME did not correlate with the in vitro data, it was felt that the TME represented a valuable measure of the ability of a compound to penetrate the skin to the site of an ongoing inflammatory response. Of the compounds synthesized in this study, 6-[1-[2-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]-1-propen-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-5-benzof uranol (1, L-651896) was chosen for further development.
