Tobe M, Isobe Y, Tomizawa H, Nagasaki T, Obara F, Matsumoto M, Hayashi H: Structure-activity relationships of 6-nitroquinazolines: dual-acting compounds with inhibitory activities toward both TNF-alpha production and T cell proliferation. Chem Pharm Bull. 2002 Aug;50(8):1073-80. We synthesized various 6-nitroquinazolines by modifying the structure of compound 1 and evaluated their inhibitory activities toward both TNF-alpha production and T cell proliferation responses. The presence of the unsubstituted piperazine ring at the C (7)-position was required for both inhibitory activities. In this series of compounds, 5d and 5f, containing the 4-fluorophenyl and 3,4-difluorophenyl moiety, respectively, at the C (4)-position, showed the suppressing effects toward both responses with low cell growth inhibition. Furthermore, the oral administration of these compounds mentioned above at doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg also resulted in significant inhibition of TNF-alpha production induced by LPS in vivo. |
