Orally active .beta.-lactam inhibitors of human leukocyte elastase-1. Activity of 3,3-diethyl-2-azetidinones

Abstract: A thorough analysis of the mechanism of inhibition of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) by a monocyclic beta-lactam and the mechanism of beta-lactam hydrolysis led to the preparation of potent and highly stable inhibitors of HLE. This work led to the identification of 4-[(4-carboxyphenyl)-oxy]-3,3-diethyl-1- [[(phenylmethyl)amino]carbonyl]-2-azetidinone (2) as the first orally active inhibitor of human leukocyte elastase (HLE). Analogs of 2 with different substituents on the urea N were synthesized and evaluated … Show more

“…Previously it had been reported that the addition of substituents to the C-3 position of other monobactam inhibitors gave improvements in inhibitory activity, stability, and selectivity. , Substitutions at this position were therefore explored with the aim of improving both the potency and the stability profile of our compounds (Table ). The addition of a methyl group cis to the C-4 benzyl group ( 31 ) resulted in a 6-fold drop in inhibitor activity, while the corresponding trans isomer 32 was equipotent with compound 30 (entries 1−3).…”

“…(ii) The second type of inhibition may be reversible concerning the enzyme but in such case the inhibitor is definitively altered. hydroxysuccinimide [100] or β-lactams [101] are considered as more potent HNE inhibitors. The above-mentioned functions undergo ring opening by the hydroxyl group of Ser195 to afford an acyl-enzyme, followed by elimination of a conveniently attached leaving group (LG).…”

“…Mechanism-based inhibitors possess an electrophilic carbonyl that is attacked by Ser-195, forming an intermediate acyl-enzyme which unmasks a previously concealed functional group that can further react covalently at the active site. This class includes isocoumarins, , sulfonyloxy succinimides and phthalimides, and cephem sulfones and monocyclic β-lactams, as well as benzisothiazolones. , …”
