Abstract :
A series of pyridine chromanols were synthesized and evaluated as LTD4-antagonists (LTD4-A). The quinoline sidechain of this class of such agents, as exemplified by REV-5901, has until now been deemed as essential for potent activity. However, by manipulating substituents on a pyridine ring, quinoline-like potency can be achieved. The results indicate that this is a function of pKa.
