title: The design and synthesis of second generation leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonists related to SC-41930.
abstract: SC-41930, 7-[3-(4-acetyl-3-methoxy-2-propylphenoxy)propoxy]-3,4- dihydro-8-propyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-carboxylic acid, is a selective, orally active, LTB4 receptor antagonist currently in clinical trials for psoriasis and ulcerative colitis. Exhaustive SAR studies found a potential backup compound, SC-50605, which was 7-16 times more potent than SC-41930 in LTB4 receptor binding, chemotaxis and degranulation assays. SC-50605 also inhibited LTB4-induced intradermal chemotaxis in cavine skin at an oral dose of 0.10 mg/kg and displayed good activity in animal models of colitis and epidermal inflammation both orally and topically.
