Group IIA secreted phospholipase A₂ (GIIA sPLA₂) is a member of the mammalian sPLA₂ enzyme family and is associated with various inflammatory conditions. In this study, the synthesis of 2-oxoamides based on α-amino acids and the in vitro evaluation against three secreted sPLA₂s (GIIA, GV and GX) are described. The long chain 2-oxoamide GK126 based on the amino acid (S)-leucine displayed inhibition of human and mouse GIIA sPLA₂s (IC₅₀ 300nM and 180nM, respectively). It also inhibited human GV sPLA₂ with similar potency, while it did not inhibit human GX sPLA₂. The elucidation of the stereoelectronic characteristics that affect the in vitro activity of these compounds was achieved by using a combination of simulated annealing to sample low-energy conformations before the docking procedure, and molecular docking calculations.

Calcium-independent phospholipase A (GVIA iPLA) has recently attracted interest as a medicinal target. The number of known GVIA iPLA inhibitors is limited to a handful of synthetic compounds (bromoenol lactone and polyfluoroketones). To expand the chemical diversity, a variety of 2-oxoamides based on dipeptides and ether dipeptides were synthesized and studied for their in vitro inhibitory activity on human GVIA iPLA and their selectivity over the other major intracellular GIVA cPLA and the secreted GV sPLA.

The upregulation of PGE2 by mesangial cells has been observed under chronic inflammation condition. In the present work, renal mesangial cells were stimulated to trigger a huge increase of PGE2 synthesis and were treated in the absence or presence of known PLA2 inhibitors. A variety of synthetic inhibitors, mainly developed in our labs, which are known to selectively inhibit each of GIVA cPLA2, GVIA iPLA2, and GIIA/GV sPLA2, were used as tools in this study.

Inhibition of group IIA secreted phospholipase A2 (GIIA sPLA2) has been an important objective for medicinal chemists. We have previously shown that inhibitors incorporating the 2-oxoamide functionality may inhibit human and mouse GIIA sPLA2s. Herein, the development of new potent inhibitors by molecular docking calculations using the structure of the known inhibitor 7 as scaffold, are described.

Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) are a diverse group of enzymes that hydrolyze membrane phospholipids into arachidonic acid and lysophospholipids. Arachidonic acid is metabolized to eicosanoids (prostaglandins, leukotrienes, thromboxanes), and lysophospholipids are converted to platelet-activating factors. These lipid mediators play critical roles in the initiation, maintenance, and modulation of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress.
