N2 - Spirocyclic 1-oxa-9-azaspiro[5.5]undecan-4-amine scaffold was explored as a basis for the design of potential inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Synthesis and testing of the initial SAR-probing library followed by biochemical testing against sEH allowed nominating a racemic lead compound (±)-22. The latter showed remarkable (> 0.5 mM) solubility in aqueous phosphate buffer solution, unusually low (for sEH inhibitors) lipophilicity as confirmed by experimentally determined logD7.4 of 0.99, and an excellent oral bioavailability in mice (as well as other pharmacokinetic characteristics). Individual enantiomer profiling revealed that the inhibitory potency primarily resided with the dextrorotatory eutomer (+)-22 (IC50 4.99 ± 0.18 nM). For the latter, a crystal structure of its complex with a C-terminal domain of sEH was obtained and resolved. These data fully validate (+)-22 as a new non-racemic advanced lead compound for further development as a potential therapeutic agent for use in such areas as cardiovascular disease, inflammation and pain.
