The preceding papers of this series detail the development of functionalized indole-3-acetamides as inhibitors of hnps-PLA2. We describe here the extension of the structure-activity relationship to include a series of indole-3-glyoxamide derivatives. Functionalized indole-3-glyoxamides with an acidic substituent appended to the 4- or 5-position of the indole ring were prepared and tested as inhibitors of hnps-PLA2. It was found that the indole-3-glyoxamides with a 4-oxyacetic acid substituent had optimal inhibitory activity. These inhibitors exhibited an improvement in potency over the best of the indole-3-acetamides, and LY315920 (6m) was selected for evaluation clinically as an hnps-PLA2 inhibitor.

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) promotes inflammation via lipid mediators and releases arachidonic acid (AA), and these enzymes have been found to be elevated in a variety of diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, and atherosclerosis. The mobilization of AA by PLA2 and subsequent synthesis of prostaglandins are regarded as critical events in inflammation. Inflammatory processes may be treated with drugs that inhibit PLA2, thereby blocking the COX and LOX pathways in the AA cascade.

A series of novel fused heterocycle methyl esters were designed and synthesized as human nonpancreatic secretory phospholipase A₂ (hnps-PLA₂) competitive inhibitors. Among the 22 synthesized compounds, 17 quinoline-4-methyl esters displayed hnps-PLA₂ inhibition activity in the in vitro bioassay. The IC₅₀ value for the best compound 3o was 1.

Multitarget drugs have been to be found effective in controlling complex diseases. However, how to design multitarget drugs presents a great challenge. We have developed a computer-assisted strategy to screen for multitarget inhibitors using a combination of molecular docking and common pharmacophore matching.

Their inhibition activities against hnps PLA2 were improved compared to that of the monofunctional protocompound. These bivalent ligands not only inhibited hnps PLA2 but also drove the dimerization of hnps PLA2.

Human nonpancreatic secreted phospholipase A2 (hnps PLA2) is considered to be an important drug target for antiinflammation therapy. We have established a new fluorescence assay by using 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate (ANS) as an interfacial probe for hydrophobic environment detection. The fitted apparent k(cat)/K(m) of hnps PLA2 is 0.
