Abstract

A series of substituted omega-[2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy]alkanoic acid derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit thromboxane synthase both in vitro and in vivo. Compound 13 was identified as a potent and selective competitive inhibitor of human platelet thromboxane synthase having a Ki value of 9.6 X 10(-8) M. In collagen-treated human whole blood, 13 potentiated levels of 6-keto PGF1 alpha. Enantiospecific syntheses afforded the R and S enantiomers of 13, of which the S enantiomer 13b was the more potent. Compounds 13 and 13b were potent in vivo inhibitors of thromboxane synthase with good oral activity and duration of action.
