With the aim of explaining the influence of the structural changes on the biphenylic moiety on the activity, a series of N-[(heterobiaryl)methyl]imidazoles (I), constructed on the model of DuPont compounds by replacing either the central or terminal phenyl ring with a heteroaromatic one, such as furan, thiophene, thiazole, and pyridine, was synthesized. Compared to the reference DuPont compound (EXP-7711), all the heterobiaryl derivatives showed a reduced potency both in receptor binding (rat adrenal capsular membranes) and in the functional assay (angiotensin II-induced contraction of rabbit aorta strips). The lower activity was justified by the extensive molecular modeling studies, which took into consideration the conformational and electrostatic features of several heterobiaryl derivatives. On the basis of the results obtained, it was hypothesized that the central aromatic ring of the biarylic portion works as a spacer, orienting in the right way the terminal phenyl ring, whose electronic distribution is, instead, crucial to its fitting well with a lipophilic pocket at the receptor site.

Starting from the recently reported nonpeptidic angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonists DuP753 (1) and Exp 7711 (2), we have designed and investigated novel substituted benzimidazoles. Systemic variation of several substituents at the benzimidazole ring positions 4-7 led to the finding that substitution in position 6 with acylamino groups results in highly active AII antagonists. Compounds with 6-membered lactam or sultam substituents in position 6 of benzimidazole showed receptor activities in the low nanomolar range but were only weakly active when given orally to rats. In contrast, analogous substitution of the benzimidazole moiety with basic heterocycles resulted in potent AII antagonists which were also well absorbed after oral application. The most active compound of this series, 33 (BIBR 277), was selected as a candidate for clinical development. On the basis of molecular modeling studies a binding model of this new class of AII antagonists to the AT1 receptor is proposed.

Some simple N-benzylimidazoles, originally described by Takeda Chemical Industries (Osaka, Japan), were characterized to be very weak but selective nonpeptide angiotensin II (Ang II) receptor antagonists with a competitive mode of action. Chemical modifications of these led to EXP6155 and EXP6803, which showed approximately 10- and 100-fold higher affinity, respectively, but were orally ineffective. Oral activity was obtained for the biphenyl carboxylic acid derivatives EXP7711 and especially EXP9654. A further advance in the design of nonpeptide Ang II receptor antagonists was provided by DuP 753, an analogue of EXP7711 in which the carboxylic acid function is replaced by its tetrazol-5-yl equivalent. DuP 753 (2-n-butyl-4-chloro-5-hydroxymethyl-1-[(2'-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)bi phe nyl-4- yl)methyl]imidazole, potassium salt) displaces radiolabeled Ang II from its specific binding sites in various tissues, affording IC50 values of approximately 20 nM. DuP 753 competitively antagonizes Ang II-induced responses in various in vitro and in vivo preparations but does not influence those to KCl, norepinephrine, vasopressin, and others, nor does it affect converting enzyme and renin. In high renin animal models of elevated arterial blood pressure, intravenous and oral administrations of DuP 753 produce a sustained decrease in pressure without influencing heart rate. Marked antihypertensive effects are observed in spontaneously hypertensive rats, but no efficacy is noticed in deoxycorticosterone acetate hypertensive animals. DuP 753 showed no agonistic properties in any of the above test systems and has been chosen to undergo clinical trials for the treatment of hypertension. In rats, the 5-carboxylic acid (EXP3174) represents a major metabolite of DuP 753.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
