Abstract
Phenylpiperazine derivatives were synthesized as dual cytokine regulators with TNF-α suppressing and IL-10 augmenting activity. Lead optimization led to compound 5k Scheme 2. Reagents and conditions: (a) Ac2O, NaOH, H2O, rt (87%); (b) cH2SO4, MeOH, reflux (72%); (c) LiAlH4, THF, 0 °C–rt (98%); (d) SOCl2, CHCl3, reflux (91%); (e) arylpiperazines, K2CO3, DMF, 80 °C (49–58%).
