Synthesis and evaluation of 1,4-diphenylbutadiene derivatives as inhibitors of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) production.

Butadiene-imide 1 (T-686) derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against PAI-1 production and their ADMET (DMPK and toxicology) profiles. Among these derivatives, compound 15k (T-2639) showed good antithrombotic activity in two rat thrombosis models without affecting bleeding time, indicating reduction of haemorrhagic risk. We also describe in this report a practical synthesis of 15k suitable for scale-up using Z,E-selective Stobbe condensation.

Synthesis and evaluation of pyrrolin-2-one compounds, a series of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 inhibitors.

A novel series of furan-2-one and pyrrolin-2-one derivatives having PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-1) inhibitory activity were synthesized and evaluated for their antithrombotic activity in a rat arterial thrombosis model. Among the synthesized compounds, 5f (T-1776Na) was found to have good selectivity for PAI-1 over other enzymes and high antithrombotic activity.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of orally active inhibitors of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) production.

A novel series of butadiene-imide 1 (T-686) derivatives having an inhibitory activity against PAI-1 production was synthesized and evaluated their biological activities and DMPK profiles, in which 15k (T-2639) was selected as the best compound based on its strong antithrombotic activity and good bioavailability.

Synthesis of 1,4-diphenylbutadiene derivatives: novel inducer of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in cultured bovine endothelial cells.

(E,E)-1,4-Diphenylbutadiene derivatives were synthesized by utilizing the Stobbe reaction of dimethyl succinate as a key step. Their stereoisomers were also synthesized stereoselectively by means of the cross-coupling reaction of the vinylstannanes and the vinylbromides, which were obtained from the propiolic acid esters by stereoselective hydrostannation, as a key step. To discover novel stimulators of fibrinolysis in vascular endothelial cells, the synthesized compounds were added to cultured bovine endothelial cells to determine the activity of the plasminogen activator in the conditioned medium.
