Studies on disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs: synthesis of novel quinoline and quinazoline derivatives and their anti-inflammatory effect.
1996
In the course of our study aimed at developing new types of DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), we found that quinoline derivative 1a had a potent anti-inflammatory effect in an adjuvant arthritis (AA) rat model, starting from the potent bone resorption inhibitors justicidins as the lead compounds. Further modification of 1a was performed, and various quinoline and quinazoline derivatives having a heteroaryl moiety on the alkyl side chain at the 2-position of the skeleton were prepared. These compounds were evaluated for anti-inflammatory effects using the AA rat model. Most of these compounds, especially those having an imidazole or a triazole moiety on the 2-alkyl chain, exhibited a potent effect. Among the compounds synthesized, ethyl 4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)quinoline-3-carboxylate (12d), having an ED50 value of 2.6 mg/kg/day (anti-inflammatory effect in an AA rat model, po), was selected as a candidate for further investigation. In vitro, 12d inhib...
