The discovery of a novel series of tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) derivatives as potent and orally bioavailable LFA-1/ICAM-1 antagonists is described.
This letter describes the discovery of a novel series of tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ)-derived small molecules that potently inhibit both human T-cell migration and super-antigen induced T-cell activation through disruption of the binding of integrin LFA-1 to its receptor, ICAM-1. In addition to excellent in vitro potency,
6q shows good pharmacokinetic properties and its ethyl ester (
6t) demonstrates good oral bioavailability in both mouse and rat. Either intravenous administration of
6q or oral administration of its ethyl ester (
6t) produced a significant reduction of neutrophil migration in a thioglycollate-induced murine peritonitis model.
