The 4,5-diphenyloxazole derivatives 2-4 were previously identified as nonprostanoid prostacyclin (PGI2) mimetics. A series of derivatives of 2-4 bearing substitutents at the carbon atom alpha to the oxazole ring were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of ADP-induced aggregation of human platelets in vitro. In the unsaturated series, the alpha-carbethoxy derivative 10a, evaluated as an equal mixture of geometrical isomers, inhibited platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 0.36 microM. Evaluation of the individual methyl ester derivatives (E)-9a and (Z)-9a revealed that (E)-9a was 10-fold more potent than (Z)-9a. In the saturated series, the alpha-carbomethoxy-substituted compound 12a inhibited platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 0.08 microM, 15-fold more potent than the unsubstituted prototype 2. The potency of 12a was found to be sensitive to variation of the methoxy moiety. The ethyl (12b) and isopropyl (12d) esters were less effective as were the acid 12e and a series of amides (12f-h). Other substituents introduced at this site of the pharmacophore included P(O)(OEt)2 (25), SCH3 (31a), S(O)CH3 (31b), SO2CH3 (31c), isopropyl (31d), phenyl (31f), and CH2OH (31i). However, none were significantly more potent inhibitors of platelet function than the parent compound 2. The results indicate the presence of a pocket in the PGI2 receptor protein that preferentially recognizes small, polar but uncharged substituents. The structure-activity correlates are suggestive of a hydrogen-bond interaction between a donor moiety on the PGI2 receptor and the methoxycarbonyl functionality of 12a that is sensitive to both the size of the substituent and its stereochemical presentation in this structural class of PGI2 mimetic. The ethyl ester 12b dose-dependently displaced [3H]iloprost from human platelet membranes and stimulated adenylate cyclase. However, the maximal stimulation was less than that recorded for iloprost, indicating that 12b functions as a partial agonist at the PGI2 receptor.
