The chemokine CC receptor subtype 2 (CCR2) has attracted intensive interest for drug development in diverse therapeutic areas, including chronic inflammatory diseases, diabetes, neuropathic pain, atherogenesis and cancer. By employing a cut-and-sew scaffold hopping strategy, we identified an active scaffold of 3,4-dihydro-2,6-naphthyridin-1(2H)-one as the central pharmacophore to derive novel CCR2 antagonists. Systematic structure–activity relationship study with respect to the ring size and the substitution on the naphthyridinone ring gave birth to 1-arylamino-6-alkylheterocycle-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-c]azepin-5-ones as a brand new chemotype of CCR2 antagonists with nanomolar inhibitory activity. The best antagonism activity in this series was exemplified by compound13a, which combined the optimal substitutions of 3,4-dichlorophenylamino at C-1 and 3-(4-(N-methylmethylsulfonamido)piperidin-1-yl)propyl at N-6 position, leading to an IC50value of 61 nM and 10-fold selectivity for CCR2 over CCR5. Efficient and general synthesis was established to construct the innovative core structure and derive the compound collections. This is the first report on our designed 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrido[4,3-c]azepin-5-one as novel CCR2 antagonist scaffold and its synthesis.
