Three isomeric series of 2-(aryloxy)-2-methylpropionic acids were prepared and studied for their ability to decrease the oxygen affinity of human hemoglobin A. The isomeric aryloxy groups included 4-[[(aryloyl)amino]methyl]phenoxy, 4-(arylacetamido)phenoxy, and 4-[[(arylamino)carbonyl]methyl]phenoxy. A total of 20 compounds were synthesized and tested. Structure-activity relationships are presented. Several of the new compounds were found to be strong allosteric effectors of hemoglobin. The two most active compounds are 2-[4-[[(3,5-dichloroanilino)carbonyl]-methyl]phenoxy]- 2-methylpropionic acid and the corresponding 3,5-dimethyl derivative. The latter two compounds have been compared to other known potent allosteric effectors in the same assay and show greater activity. Both compounds also exhibit a right shift in the oxygen equilibrium curve when incubated with whole blood. The new compounds may be of interest in clinical or biological areas that require or would benefit from a reversal of depleted oxygen supply (i.e., ischemia, stroke, tumor radiotherapy, blood storage, blood substitutes, etc.). They are also structurally related to several marketed antilipidemic agents.
