Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is a key cAMP-metabolizing enzyme involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease, and its pharmacological inhibition has been shown to exert therapeutic efficacy in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Herein, we describe a drug discovery program aiming at the identification of novel classes of potent PDE4 inhibitors suitable for pulmonary administration. Starting from a previous series of benzoic acid esters, we explored the chemical space in the solvent-exposed region of the enzyme catalytic binding pocket. Extensive structural modifications led to the discovery of a number of heterocycloalkyl esters as potent in vitro PDE4 inhibitors. (S?,S??)-18e and (S?,S??)-22e, in particular, exhibited optimal in vitro ADME and pharmacokinetics properties and dose-dependently counteracted acute lung eosinophilia in an experimental animal model. The optimal biological profile as well as the excellent solid-state properties suggest that both compounds have the potential to be effective topical agents for treating respiratory inflammatory diseases.

The regioselective synthesis of several pyrrole derivatives is described.AlCl3-catalyzed acylation reactions of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)pyrrole (1) give 3-acyl derivatives, whereas the corresponding BF3*OEt2-catalyzed reactions give 2-acyl derivatives predominantly.Mild alkaline hydrolysis gives the corresponding acyl-1H-pyrroles in excellent yields.AlCl3-catalyzed reactions of 1 with 1,1-dichloromethyl methyl ether and oxalyl chloride give 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-2-formylpyrrole (6) and 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-2-(chlorocarbonyl)pyrrole (7), respectively. 3-Pyrrolylacetic acid (10) was prepared by thallium(III) nitrate promoted rearrangement of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-3-acetylpyrrole (2a).Trifluoroacetic anhydride catalyzed cyclization of 4-butyric acid (14) gives 1-(phenylsulfonyl)-7-oxo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole (17).Attempts to cyclize 14 at the 4-position have been unsuccessful.
