Non-steroidal antiandrogens. Design of novel compounds based on an infrared study of the dominant conformation and hydrogen-bonding properties of a series of anilide antiandrogens.

Antiandrogenic activity is observed in anilides containing a tertiary hydroxyl group, and these compounds are used to define a pharmacophore in terms of their physicochemical properties. Infrared spectroscopy shows that these anilides exist in a single conformation, which exerts a powerful influence on the hydrogen-bond donor ability of the hydroxyl group in a model system. Arguments are presented which suggest that hydrogen-bonding ability is an important contributor to biological activity. Compounds were synthesized that reproduced these properties in series not containing an amide bond. Such compounds were found to exhibit good antiandrogen activity. We suggest that quantitative information on hydrogen bonding might also be useful in other systems.

New antiarrhythmic agents. 3. Primary beta-amino anilides.

The synthesis and pharmacologic evaluation of primary beta-amino anilides, as well as comparisons with tocainide, lidocaine, and its beta homologue, are described. Substituted anilines were acylated with 3-bromoacyl chlorides and converted to the title compounds by direct amination or via 3-phthalimido anilides and subsequent hydrazinolysis. Alternatively, anilines were acylated with substituted acryloyl chlorides and the amines prepared by addition of ammonia to the double bond. The target compounds were evaluated for their ability to protect against chloroform-induced fibrillation in mice. All were found to have some antifibrillatory activity; several were more potent than tocainide, a compound in clinical trials as an oral antiarrhythmic drug. Four compounds were tested for their effects against ventricular arrhythmias in dogs with myocardial infarction. 3-Amino-2',6'-butyroxylidide (38) was found to be more potent and less CNS toxic than tocainide.

Anilide derivatives of an 8-phenylxanthine carboxylic congener are highly potent and selective antagonists at human A(2B) adenosine receptors.

No highly selective antagonists of the A(2B) adenosine receptor (AR) have been reported; however such antagonists have therapeutic potential as antiasthmatic agents. Here we report the synthesis of potent and selective A(2B) receptor antagonists. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) of 8-phenyl-1, 3-di-(n-propyl)xanthine derivatives in binding to recombinant human A(2B) ARs in HEK-293 cells (HEK-A(2B)) and at other AR subtypes were explored. Various amide derivatives of 8-[4-[[carboxymethyl]oxy]phenyl]-1,3-di-(n-propyl)xanthine, 4a, were synthesized. A comparison of aryl, alkyl, and aralkyl amides demonstrated that simple anilides, particularly those substituted in the para-position with electron-withdrawing groups, such as nitro, cyano, and acetyl, bind selectively to human A(2B) receptors in the range of 1-3 nM. The unsubstituted anilide 12 had a K(i) value at A(2B) receptors of 1.48 nM but was only moderately selective versus human A(1)/A(2A) receptors and nonselective versus rat A(1) receptors. Highly potent and selective A(2B) antagonists were a p-aminoacetophenone derivative 20 (K(i) value 1.39 nM) and ap-cyanoanilide 27 (K(i) value 1.97 nM). Compound 27 was 400-, 245-, and 123-fold selective for human A(2B) receptors versus human A(1)/A(2A)/A(3) receptors, respectively, and 8.5- and 310-fold selective versus rat A(1)/A(2A) receptors, respectively. Substitution of the 1,3-dipropyl groups with 1,3-diethyl offered no disadvantage for selectivity, and high affinities at A(2B) receptors were maintained. Substitution of the p-carboxymethyloxy group of 4a and its amides with acrylic acid decreased affinity at A(2B) receptors while increasing affinity at A(1) receptors. 1, 3-Di(cyclohexylmethyl) groups greatly reduced affinity at ARs, although the p-carboxymethyloxy derivative 9 was moderately selective for A(2B) receptors. Several selective A(2B) antagonists inhibited NECA-stimulated calcium mobilization in HEK-A(2B) cells.

Synthesis and characterization of a series of novel glutamic gamma-15N-anilide dipeptides.

The preparation of a series of novel Cbz-Gln-Gly dipeptide derivatives is reported, wherein the gamma-carboxamide groups of the glutamine side chains have been modified to gamma-15N-anilides which are substituted in the para position with -NO2, -Cl, -H, -CH3, -OCH3, and -N(CH3)2. Characterization of the free anilines (p(kappa)a values and 15N NMR chemical shifts) and corresponding gamma-anilides (15N NMR chemical shifts and FTIR wavenumbers) is also reported. Correlation of these physicochemical data to Hammett substituent parameters ((sigma)para) is discussed. These novel dipeptide derivatives should prove to be generally useful for structure-function enzymology studies of gamma-glutamyl transferring enzymes.

pH-dependence and structure-activity relationships in the papain-catalysed hydrolysis of anilides.

The pH-dependence of the Michaelis-Menten parameters for the papain-catalysed hydrolysis of N-acetyl-l-phenylalanylglycine p-nitroanilide was determined. The equilibrium binding constant, K(s), is independent of pH between 3.7 and 9.3, whereas the acylation constant, k(+2), shows bell-shaped pH-dependence with apparent pK(a) values of 4.2 and 8.2. The effect of substituents in the leaving group on the acylation constant of the papain-catalysed hydrolysis of hippuryl anilides and N-acetyl-l-phenylalanylglycine anilides gives rise in both series to a Hammett rho value of -1.04. This indicates that the enzyme provides electrophilic, probably general-acid, catalysis, as well as the nucleophilic or general-base catalysis previously found. A mechanism involving a tetrahedral intermediate whose formation is general-base-catalysed and whose breakdown is general-acid-catalysed seems most likely. The similarity of the Hammett rho values appears to exclude facilitated proton transfer as a means through which the specificity of papain is expressed.

Effect of fatty acid anilides on immune responses of Swiss mice.

The possible relationship between fatty acid anilides and the toxic oil syndrome (TOS) which appeared in Spain in 1981 has been debated during recent years. These anilides have been detected as anomalous compound in toxic oils analysed. After treatment with one daily dose of 50 mg/kg of oleilanilide (88.86% pure) for 5 days, animals showed a tendency towards progressive loss of body weight and a significant increase in serum concentration of immunoglobulins. The percentage of suppressor T cells in spleen diminished significantly compared with the control group. Consequently, an increase in the helper T cells/suppressor T cells was also observed. The production of IgM and IgG in culture was significantly higher than in controls and no differences were seen in IgA synthesis. The functional studies of generation of specific IgM, IgA and IgG suppressor cells at variable doses of concanavalin A (Con A) showed paradoxical behaviour of suppressor T cells generated by low doses of Con A. A similar change occurred at higher doses of Con A. These results suggest that low-dose treatment with oleilanilides induces an alteration in the immune response in Swiss mice.

Charge transfer complexes of some anilides with nitrobenzene derivatives as pi-electron acceptors.

The charge transfer complexes formed between some anilides and pi-electron acceptors [picric acid, 2,4-dinitrophenol, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic aicd, 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid and m-dinitrobenzene] are synthesized and characterized. Spectral characteristics and stability of the complexes are investigated and discussed in terms of donor molecular structure, pi-acceptor electron affinity, and solvent polarity. It is deduced that the complexes are mainly of the n-pi* and pi-pi* type where the ground state wave function can be described primarily by the non-bonding structure. The optimum conditions favouring the formation of the coloured complexes are extensively studied for the microdetermina-tion of anilides derivatives in pharmaceutical drugs using nitrobenzene as acceptor; the molecular structure was found to be 1:1 (D:A). Beer's law is obeyed up to 23.0, 18.60 and 16.0 micrograms ml-1 for p(OH), p-(OCH3), and p-N(CH3)2, respectively.

Biological activity of 4-hydroxyisophthalic acid derivatives. III. Variously substituted anilides with antimicrobial activity.

A series of 1,3-bis-anilides of 4-hydroxyisophthalic acid was prepared and investigated for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The prepared compounds (I-XIV), of the general formula (A), where Xn = 2-NO2 (I); 2,4-(NO2)2 (II); 2,4-NO2, Cl (III); 2,4-NO2,CF3 (IV); 3,4-NO2,Cl (V); 2,4-Cl,NO2 (VI); 2,5-Cl,NO2 (VII); 2,4,6-Cl,NO2,Cl (VIII); 2,4-Br, NO2 (IX); 2-CF3 (X); 3-CF3 (XI); 2,5-Cl,CF3 (XII); 2,5-CH3,Cl (XIII); 3,4-Cl,CH3 (XIV), were obtained in satisfactory yield by reacting 4-hydroxyisophthalic acid with the appropriate substituted aniline. (Formula: see text). The prepared compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity by a disk-diffusion assay (Kirby-Bauer modified). The organisms used were the following: S. aureus, B. subtilis, B. anthracis, M. paratuberculosis 607, E. coli Bb, S. typhi, S. typhimurium, S. paratyphi B, Pr. vulgaris, K1. pneumoniae, Ps. aeruginosa, C. albicans, and A. niger. The results of the antimicrobial screening showed that a number of substituted anilides exhibited varying degrees of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi, nitro-halogen-derivatives being the most interesting members of the series.

New Synthetic Technology for the Rapid Construction of Novel Heterocycles-Part 2. The Reaction of IBX with Anilides and Related Compounds.

The unusual behavior of hypervalent iodine reagents, Dess - Martin periodinane and IBX, with an array of anilides leads to the formation of complex heterocycles in only one synthetic operation (see scheme). Furthermore, the substrates for these transformations are available in one step from readily available commercial building blocks. The mechanism by which these periodinanes interact with anilides is also explored. This exciting new class of chemical reactions was discovered during the course of the total synthesis of the CP molecules and leads to compounds which are relevant to chemical biology investigations and pharmaceutical research.

BRL 20596, a novel anilide with central dopamine antagonist activity.

BRL 20596 (N-(4-amino-5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenylmethyl-4-piperidine-carbox amide) is a novel anilide related to clebopride (a gastric prokinetic benzamide) in which the sole change is reversal of the amide bond. Previous studies have shown conformational and electronic differences between these molecules which result in the anilide losing its gastric prokinetic activity, whilst retaining its central nervous system activity. Pharmacological and biochemical properties of BRL 20596 are compared here in animals with chlorpromazine, clebopride, haloperidol and sulpiride. BRL 20596 potently inhibited a number of behaviours, such as conditioned avoidance, amphetamine-induced stereotypy and turning, and apomorphine-induced climbing. Homovanillic acid (HVA) levels in the striatum and nucleus accumbens were raised at similar dose levels to those which inhibited these behaviours, whilst sedative activity was only exhibited at much higher dose levels. Haemodynamic changes were only observed with high IV doses of BRL 20596. Much lower doses of sulpiride were needed to raise prolactin levels than to raise HVA levels. This was not the case with BRL 20596 and the other drugs, where the doses needed for the two effects were similar. The results suggest that BRL 20596 is a central dopamine antagonist, with low sedative and haemodynamic activity.

Comparison of three beta-amino anilides: IQB-M-81, lidocaine and tocainide, on isolated rat atria.

The effects of a new beta-amino anilide, IQB-M-81, on electrical and mechanical activity of isolated rat atria were studied and compared with those of lidocaine and tocainide. In spontaneously beating right atria IQB-M-81 produced a dose-dependent decrease in rate, contractile force and maximum following frequency and prolonged the sinus node recovery time and the effective refractory period of atrial fibers. The negative inotropic effect was not modified by pretreating the atria with atropine or practolol. In isolated right atria IQB-M-81 did not block the positive chronotropic and inotropic responses to isoprenaline but shifted the dose-response curve to the right. IQB-M-81 and lidocaine, but not tocainide, reduced in a dose-dependent manner the slow contractions induced by isoprenaline in K-depolarized right atria. These results suggest that in contrast to other beta-amino anilides, IQB-M-81 exerted a negative chronotropic effect and that it presented a class I antiarrhythmic effect on isolated rat atria. A possible class IV antiarrhythmic effect is also discussed.

Slow hydrogen atom self-exchange between Os(IV) anilide and Os(III) aniline complexes: relationships with electron and proton transfer self-exchange.

Hydrogen atom, proton and electron transfer self-exchange and cross-reaction rates have been determined for reactions of Os(IV) and Os(III) aniline and anilide complexes. Addition of an H-atom to the Os(IV) anilide TpOs(NHPh)Cl(2) (Os(IV)NHPh) gives the Os(III) aniline complex TpOs(NH(2)Ph)Cl(2) (Os(III)NH(2)Ph) with a new 66 kcal mol(-1) N-H bond. Concerted transfer of H* between Os(IV)NHPh and Os(III)NH(2)Ph is remarkably slow in MeCN-d(3), with k(ex)(H*) = (3 +/- 2) x 10(-3) M(-1) s(-1) at 298 K. This hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reaction could also be termed proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Related to this HAT process are two proton transfer (PT) and two electron transfer (ET) self-exchange reactions, for instance, the ET reactions Os(IV)NHPh + Os(III)NHPh(-) and Os(IV)NH(2)Ph(+) + Os(III)NH(2)Ph. All four of these PT and ET reactions are much faster (k = 10(3)-10(5) M(-1) s(-1)) than HAT self-exchange. This is the first system where all five relevant self-exchange rates related to an HAT or PCET reaction have been measured. The slowness of concerted transfer of H* between Os(IV)NHPh and Os(III)NH(2)Ph is suggested to result not from a large intrinsic barrier but rather from a large work term for formation of the precursor complex to H* transfer and/or from significantly nonadiabatic reaction dynamics. The energetics for precursor complex formation is related to the strength of the hydrogen bond between reactants. To probe this effect further, HAT cross-reactions have been performed with sterically hindered aniline/anilide complexes and nitroxyl radical species. Positioning steric bulk near the active site retards both H* and H(+) transfer. Net H* transfer is catalyzed by trace acids and bases in both self-exchange and cross reactions, by stepwise mechanisms utilizing the fast ET and PT reactions.

Efficient synthesis of optically active atropisomeric anilides through catalytic asymmetric N-arylation reaction.

In the presence of (R)-DTBM-SEGPHOS-Pd(OAc)2 catalyst, N-arylation of ortho-tert-butyl-NH-anilides with 4-nitroiodobenzene proceeds with high enantioselectivity (89-95% ee) to give optically active atropisomeric anilides possessing N-C chiral axis. Furthermore, the intramolecular version of the present catalytic asymmetric N-arylation gave atropisomeric lactams with high optical purity (94-96% ee).

Enantioselective synthesis of axially chiral anilides through rhodium-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes with trimethylsilylynamides.

We have developed a rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular [2+2+2] cycloaddition of 1,6-diynes with trimethylsilylynamides for the synthesis of axially chiral anilides. The axial chirality is constructed at the formation of benzene rings with high enantioselectivity (up to 98% ee). It should be noted that the present reaction employs the readily prepared trimethylsilylynamides starting from commercially available bis(trimethysilyl)acetylene and the trimethylsilyl group of the product anilides is expected to be utilized for further functionalization.

Rapid approach to 3,5-disubstituted 1,4-benzodiazepines via the photo-fries rearrangement of anilides.

Different anilides derived from carboxylic acids and substituted anilines have been submitted to the photochemically induced Fries rearrangement giving the corresponding o-amino phenones under conditions that are compatible with the presence of acid-labile groups (such as N-Boc or TBDMSO) on R1 and R3. These compounds, not easily obtained in other ways, are useful building blocks for the preparation of benzocondensated heterocycles. After coupling with N-Boc amino acids and TFA-mediated deprotection, the products cyclized to the corresponding 3,5-disubstituted 1,4-benzodiazepin-2-ones, privileged structures predominantly active in the central nervous system. The same results were obtained by coupling with N-Cbz-protected alpha-amino acids followed by microwave assisted hydrogenolysis. When the Fries rearrangement was carried out on the anilide derived from N-Boc-Ala-OH and the further coupling done with N-Cbz-(OMe)Asp-OH, the formed benzodiazepines could be inserted in a peptide chain for the preparation of conformationally constrained peptidomimetics.

Asymmetric Synthesis of Axially Chiral Anilides by Enantiotopic Lithiation of Tricarbonyl(N-methyl-N-acyl-2,6-dimethylanilide)chromium Complex.

Axially chiral N-methylanilides were synthesized by enantioselective lithiation of prochiral tricarbonyl(N-methyl-N-pivaloyl-2,6-dimethylaniline)chromium (1) with the lithium amide of the 4-methylpiperazinylethylamine derivative 13 followed by electrophilic quenching up to 97% ee in good yields. The resulting axially chiral chromium-complexd anilides 2 were oxidized under air to give the axially chiral anilides 14 in enantiomerically active form without axial bond rotation at room temperature.
