Abstract

Our laboratory has identified several acrylamide derivatives with potent CCR3 inhibitory activity. In the present study, we evaluated the in vitro metabolic stability (CL(int); mL/min/kg) of these compounds in human liver microsomes (HLMs), and assessed the relationship between their structures and CL(int) values. Among the compounds identified, N-{(3R)-1-[(6-fluoro-2-naphthyl)methyl]pyrrolidin-3-yl}-2-[1-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)piperidin-4-ylidene]acetamide (30j) was found to be a potent inhibitor (IC(50)=8.4nM) with a high metabolic stability against HLMs.
