AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides novel compounds that act as inhibitors of the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) enzyme. These compounds have been found to have useful therapeutic properties, and can be used in the treatment of various medical conditions. The invention also provides methods for preparing these compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and uses of the compounds in therapy. The compounds are derived from a specific group of compounds, called 1-phenyl-2-pyridinyl alkyl alcohols, which have been found to have inhibitory activity against PDE4.

Problems solved by technology

However, corticosteroids do not reduce the inflammatory response in COPD as they do in asthma.
However, the usefulness of several PDE4 inhibitors of the first-generation such as rolipram and piclamilast has been limited due to their undesirable side effects.

[0595](S)-3,5-dichloro-4-(2-(3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)phenyl)-2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine 1-oxide (80 mg; 0.19 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (2 ml), then 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)acetic acid (70 mg, 0.4 mmol), EDC (60 mg, 0.3 mmol), and DMAP (30 mg, 0.25 mmol) were added. The reaction was stirred at RT for 6 hours, then it was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic phase was extracted with HCl 1M and with K2CO3 sat, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give 80 mg of the desired compound (Yield: 74%).

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to European Patent Application No. 11182814.1, filed on Sep. 26, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to inhibitors of the phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) enzyme. More particularly, the present invention relates to derivatives of 1-phenyl-2-pyridinyl alkyl alcohols, methods of preparing such compounds, compositions containing them and therapeutic use thereof.[0004]2. Discussion of the Background[0005]Airway obstruction characterizes a number of severe respiratory diseases including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Events leading to airway obstruction include oedema of airway walls, increased mucous production and inflammation.[0006]Drugs for treating respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD are currently administered through inhalation. One of the advantages of th...
