Bioisosteric design of conformationally restricted pyridyltriazole histamine H2-receptor antagonists. 1983

C A Lipinski

A process of bioisosteric drug design is described whereby, in a manner analogous to synthesis, key portions of an effector molecule are successively replaced by pharmacophores or bioisosteres. This process, when applied to histamine, leads to the competitive histamine H2-receptor antagonist prototype 3-amino-5-(2-amino-4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (7). The biaryl nature of 7 fixes internitrogen distances, and comparison of these with histamine suggests that 7 shares structural features more in common with histamine trans rather than histamine gauche conformations. Alkylation of the prototype pyridylamino group in 7 markedly improves both histamine H2-receptor antagonist and gastric acid antisecretory activity so that the resulting agent, 3-amino-5-[2-(ethylamino)-4-pyridyl]-1,2,4-triazole (8), is more active than cimetidine.

D006321	Heart	The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood.	Hearts
D006635	Histamine H2 Antagonists	Drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H2 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of histamine. Their clinically most important action is the inhibition of acid secretion in the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers. Smooth muscle may also be affected. Some drugs in this class have strong effects in the central nervous system, but these actions are not well understood.
