Analogues of previously studied phenyl-substituted aminomethylene- bisphosphonic acids were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of Arabidopsis thaliana δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase. With the aim of improving their effectiveness, two main modifications were introduced into the inhibitory scaffold: the aminomethylenebisphosphonic moiety was replaced with a hydroxymethylenebisphosphonic group, and the length of the molecule was increased by replacing the methylene linker with an ethylidene chain. In addition, chlorine atoms in the phenyl ring were replaced with various other substituents. Most of the studied derivatives showed activity in the micromolar to millimolar range, with two of them being more effective than the lead compound, with concentrations inhibiting 50% of enzyme activity as low as 50 μM. Experimental evidence supporting the ability of these inhibitors to interfere with proline synthesis in vivo is also shown.

Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a pro-inflammatory mediator that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and psoriasis. Since the action of LTA4 hydrolase is the rate-limiting step for LTB4 production, this enzyme represents an attractive pharmacological target for the suppression of LTB4 production. From an in- house screening program, SC-22716 (1, 1-[2-(4- phenylphenoxy)ethyl]pyrrolidine) was identified as a potent inhibitor of LTA4 hydrolase. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies around this structural class resulted in the identification of a number of novel, potent inhibitors of LTA4 hydrolase, several of which demonstrated good oral activity in a mouse ex vivo whole blood assay.
