Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 M edicinal Chemistry – III Tutorial – 4 (Home Work) Respiratory Drug Development 1. Write the name and clinical use of the following drugs. Briefly explain why the compound (2) has better activity than compound (1). OH HO H N CH C CH3 3 CH3 H3C CH3 N O OH O H CH3 N C CH3 CH3 CH3 N CH3 O OH O (1) (2) Answer: Structure (1) is terbutaline, a selective β2 adrenoceptor agonist used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma. Structure (2) is bambuterol, an orally active long acting β2adrenoceptor agonist used in the treatment of asthma. Terbutaline has short duration of action due to the enzymatic degradation of meta hydroxyl group by catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT). Bambuterol is a prodrug of terbutaline where the 2 OH groups attached to phenyl ring were masked by converting them into biscarbamate. Bambuterol is stable to COMT increasing the duration of action. The advantage of bambuterol over terbutaline is that it's given once a day and increases the likelihood of patient compliance. 2. Account for the greater biological activity of (R)-orciprenaline when compared to its (S)-enantiomer. What effect on potency would you expect from the removal of the alcoholic (OH) group from R-orciprenaline? Answer: The secondary hydroxyl group (OH) of only R-enantiomer can form hydrogen bonding interaction with the crucial amino acid residue Asn293 at the binding site of the receptor whereas the S-enantiomer cannot form this interaction. Hence R-enantiomer of orciprenaline is biologically more active than S-enantiomer. Removal of the alcoholic (OH) group from the active enantiomer of orciprinaline (Renantiomer) would reduce the potency as there would be no hydrogen bonding interaction with the crucial amino acid residue Asn293 at the binding site of the β2 -adrenoceptor. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 3. Terbutaline is superior to orciprenaline in the management of asthma for a patient suffering from cardiac hypertension. Illustrate how the chemistry of these drugs explains this observation from the point of view of side effects and improvement of activity. Answer: The isopropyl group attached to the secondary N-atom of orciprenaline fit into the hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of cardiac β1 receptor in the heart along with the β2 receptor in the lungs which may enhance cardiac blood pressure due to β1 agonism and cause many deaths due to aerosol overdoses. Terbutaline has a bulky tertiary butyl group attached to the secondary N-atom which prevents it to fit into the smaller hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of cardiac β1 receptor in the heart due to steric hindrance giving enhanced selectivity for the β 2 receptor in the lungs. Thus terbutaline has no cardiac side effect. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 4. Write the structures of (R) and (S)-enantiomers of terbutaline. Explain which enantiomer has greater biological activity by highlighting the interaction of important functional group(s) of the active enantiomer with the β2 receptor. Your answer should include the hypothetical binding mode of the active enantiomer at the binding site of the receptor. Answer: The structures of (R) and (S)-enatiomers of terbutaline are The R-enantiomer of terbutaline has more biological activity than S-enantiomer. R-enantiomer of terbutaline forms the following interactions with the β2 receptor: The hydroxyl group (OH) attached to meta-position of the aromatic ring forms essential hydrogen bonding interaction with the Ser207 at the binding site of the receptor. Alkylammonium ion forms an ionic bond to the binding site (Asp113) of the receptor. Bulkier t-butyl group is responsible for selectivity towards β2 adrenoceptor by selectively occupying the hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of β2 adrenoceptor. Aromatic ring forms van der Waals interactions (π-π stacking) with the phenyl ring of Phe290 at the binding site of the receptor. The secondary hydroxyl group (OH) of only R-enantiomer can form hydrogen bonding interaction with the crucial amino acid residue Asn293 at the binding site of the receptor whereas the S-enantiomer cannot form this interaction. Hence R-enantiomer of terbutaline is biologically more active than S-enantiomer. Fig. Binding interactions of R-enantiomer of terbutaline with β2 adrenoceptor. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 5. What effect on potency would you expect from the removal of the alcoholic (OH) group from the active enantiomer of terbutaline? Answer: Removal of the alcoholic (OH) group from the active enantiomer of terbutaline (Renantiomer) would reduce the potency as there would be no hydrogen bonding interaction with the crucial amino acid residue Asn293 at the binding site of the β2 -adrenoceptor. 6. Terbutaline undergoes metabolism to give the inactive metabolite due to the enzymatic degradation by catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT). Write the structure of the metabolite and briefly explain why this metabolite is inactive? Answer: The metabolite structure of terbutaline is given below: This metabolite of terbutaline is inactive as it cannot form essential H-bonding interaction with the crucial amino acid residues Ser207 at the binding site of the β2-receptor. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 7. Salbutamol is superior to isoprenaline in the management of asthma. Illustrate how the chemistry of these drugs explains this observation from the point of view of side effects and improvement of activity. Your answer should include the chemical structures of the metabolites of the drugs. OH HO H N HO OH CH3 CH CH3 HO Isoprenaline HO H N CH C CH3 3 CH3 Salbutamol Answer: The isopropyl group attached to the secondary N-atom of isoprenaline fit into the hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of cardiac β1 receptor in the heart along with the β2 receptor in the lungs which caused many deaths due to aerosol overdoses on the heart (due to β1 agonism). It has short duration of action due to the enzymatic degradation by catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) to form the inactive 3-Omethyl isoprenaline. It also has poor oral activity due to the formation of isoprenaline-4-O-sulfate by sulfokinases in the gut wall. OH H3CO OH HO O-methyltransferase (COMT) H N HO CH3 CH CH3 HO CH3 CH CH3 3-O-methyl isoprenaline OH Isoprenaline H N sulfokinases HO HO.O2SO H N CH3 CH CH3 Isoprenaline-4-O-sulphate Salbutamol has a bulky tertiary butyl group attached to the secondary N-atom which prevents it to fit into the smaller hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of the cardiac β1 receptor in the heart due to steric hindrance giving enhanced selectivity for the β2 receptor in the lungs. Thus salbutamol has no cardiac side effect. Moreover, the hydroxymethyl group attached to the phenyl ring made it stable to COMT increasing the duration of action. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 8. Write the structures of (R) and (S)-enantiomers of salbutamol. Explain which enantiomer has greater biological activity by highlighting the interaction of important functional group(s) of the active enantiomer with the β2 receptor. Your answer should include the hypothetical binding mode of the active enantiomer at the binding site of the receptor. Answer: The structures of (R) and (S)-enatiomers of salbutamol are HO HO H H N HO CH C CH3 3 CH3 (S)-salbutamol H HO HO OH H N CH C CH3 3 CH3 (R)-salbutamol The R-enantiomer of salbutamol has more biological activity than S-enantiomer. R-enantiomer of salbutamol forms the following interactions with the β2 receptor: The hydroxymethylene and hydroxyl group (OH) attached to meta and para position of the aromatic ring form essential hydrogen bonding interaction with the amino acid residues Ser207 and Ser204 at the binding site of the receptor. Alkylammonium ion forms an ionic bond to the binding site (Asp113) of the receptor. Bulkier t-butyl group is responsible for selectivity towards β2 adrenoceptor. Aromatic ring forms van der Waals interactions (π-π stacking) with the phenyl ring of Phe290 at the binding site of the receptor. The secondary hydroxyl group (OH) of only R-enantiomer can form hydrogen bonding interaction with the crucial amino acid residue Asn293 at the binding site of the receptor whereas the S-enantiomer cannot form this interaction. Hence R-enantiomer of salbutamol is biologically more active than S-enantiomer. Draw structure of drug with binding interaction Fig. 3. Binding interactions of R-enantiomer of salbutamol with β2 adrenoceptor. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 9. Describe the development process which led to the discovery of isoprenaline starting from adrenaline. Use chemical structures to clearly illustrate the key structural changes made in the process, describe why those changes were made and specify the outcomes that these changes had on both the physicochemical and biological properties. Answer: Write yourself. 10. Which of the following drug is superior in the management of asthma for a patient suffering from cardiac hypertension? Give reasons. Answer: Terbutaline is superior in the management of asthma for a patient suffering from cardiac hypertension because of the following reasons: The isopropyl group attached to the secondary N-atom of orciprenaline fit into the smaller hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of cardiac β1 receptor in the heart along with the larger β2 receptor in the lungs which caused many deaths due to aerosol overdoses on the heart (due to β1 agonism). Terbutaline has a bulky tertiary butyl group attached to the secondary N-atom which prevents it to fit into the smaller hydrophobic pocket of the binding site of the cardiac β1 receptor in the heart due to steric hindrance giving enhanced selectivity for the β2 receptor in the lungs. Thus terbutaline has no cardiac side effect. Dr Pran Kishore Deb Medicinal Chemistry-III, Tutorial - 3 11. Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding salbutamol?
