A new series of pyrazolotriazolopyrimidines bearing different substitutions
on the phenylcarbamoyl moieties at the N5 position, being highly
potent and selective human A(3) adenosine receptor antagonists, is
described. The compounds represent an extension and an improvement
of our previous work on this class of compounds (J. Med. Chem. 1999,
42, 4473-4478; J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 4768-4780). All the synthesized
compounds showed A(3) adenosine receptor affinity in the subnanomolar
range and high levels of selectivity in radioligand binding assays
at the human A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3) adenosine receptors. In
particular, the effect of the substitution and its position on the
phenyl ring have been studied. From binding data, it is evident that
the unsubstituted derivatives on the phenyl ring (e.g., compound
59, hA(3) = 0.16 nM, hA(1)/hA(3) = 3713, hA(2A)/hA(3) = 2381, hA(2B)/hA(3)
= 1388) showed the best profile in terms of affinity and selectivity
at the human A(3) adenosine receptors. The introduction of a sulfonic
acid moiety at the para position on the phenyl ring was attempted
in order to design water soluble derivatives. However, this substitution
led to a dramatic decrease of affinity at all four adenosine receptor
subtypes. A computer-generated model of the human A(3) receptor was
built and analyzed to better interpret these results, demonstrating
that steric control, in particular at the para position on the phenyl
ring, plays a fundamental role in the receptor interaction. Some
of the synthesized compounds proved to be full antagonists in a specific
functional model, where the inhibition of cAMP-generation by IB-MECA
was measured in membranes of CHO cells stably transfected with the
human A(3) receptor with IC(50) values in the nanomolar range, with
a statistically significative linear relationship with the binding
data.
