Abstract

To establish the in vivo efficacy of alphavbeta3/alphaIIbbeta3 dual antagonists possessing a tricyclic pharmacophore, a corresponding alphavbeta3-selective antagonist was required as a control. We initially took two synthetic approaches to obtain alphavbeta3-selective antagonists based on the RGD recognition pattern or on modification of the dihedral angle between the central benzene ring and the adjacent heterocycle, but both proved unsuccessful. However, synthesis of novel antagonists with meta-substitution of the central benzene ring generated weak selectivity for alphavbeta3 over alphaIIbbeta3 for the first time in the family of compounds with the tricyclic pharmacophore. Optimization of meta-oriented antagonists furnished an alphavbeta3-selective antagonist exhibiting inhibitory activity not only in a receptor-binding assay, but also in a cell adhesion assay.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
