Abstract
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) is a potential target for pharmacological intervention with various inflammatory and allergic diseases. Starting from the natural dual 5-LO/microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase (mPGES)-1 inhibitor embelin (2,5-dihydroxy-3-undecyl-1,4-benzoquinone, 2) that suppresses 5-LO activity in human primary leukocytes with IC50 = 0.8-2 μM, we synthesized 48 systematically modified derivatives of 2. We modified the 1,4-quinone to 1,2-quinone, mono- or bimethylated the hydroxyl groups, and varied the C11-n-alkyl residue (C4- to C16-n-alkyl or prenyl) of 2. Biological evaluation yields potent analogues being superior over 2 and obvious structure-activity relationships (SAR) for inhibition of 5-LO. Interestingly, conversion to 1,2-benzoquinone and bimethylation of the hydroxyl moieties strongly improves 5-LO inhibition in polymorphonuclear leukocytes versus 2 up to 60-fold, exemplified by the C12-n-alkyl derivative 22c (4,5-dimethoxy-3-dodecyl-1,2-benzoquinone) with IC50 = 29 nM. Regarding inhibition of mPGES-1, none of the novel benzoquinones could outperform the parental compound 2 (IC50 = 0.21 μM), and only modest suppressive effects on 12- and 15-LOs were evident. Together, our detailed SAR study reveals 22c as highl...Continue Reading
