Studies on 2-benzyloxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones as serine protease inhibitors.

摘要

The class of 3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones includes potent inhibitors of various serine proteases. Structural investigation on three 2-benzyloxy-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones (1-3) are described with respect to their reactivity to alkaline hydrolysis. The 13C NMR data of 2-benzyloxy-5-methyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one 3 are discussed. This peri substituted compound was subjected to a crystal structure analysis. The heterocyclic skeleton together with the carbonyl oxygen and the methyl carbon is planar, and only small angle distortions occurred. The inhibition of neutrophil serine proteases by 1-3 is reported. The different reactivity of the 5-methyl derivative 3 towards serine proteases is mainly influenced by specific interactions within the active sites. Thus, 3 was found to rapidly acylate human leukocyte proteinase 3 and exhibited a Ki value of 1.8 nM.
