C-alkylated spiro[benzofuran-3(2H),4'-1'-methyl-piperidine-7-ols] as potent opioids: a conformation-activity study.

Among a series of C-alkylated analogs of the weak mu opioid ligand spiro[benzofuran-3(2H),4'-1'-methylpiperidine-7-ol] (1), the 2-methyl, 2-ethyl, and cis 3'-methyl analogs, namely compounds (+/-)2, (+/-)-3, and (+/-)-4, showed much enhanced mu-affinities, with (+/-)-4 being almost as potent as (-)-morphine; while the trans 3'-methyl analog (+/-)-5 remained a weak mu-binder. Energy calculations and nmr data indicated that compounds 2-4 favor phenyl-axial conformations, while compounds 1 and 5 favor phenyl-equatorial conformations.

N-hydroxyethyl-piperidine and -pyrrolidine homoazasugars: preparation and evaluation of glycosidase inhibitory activity.

An efficient and practical strategy for the synthesis of N-hydroxyethyl-1-deoxy-homonojirimycins 4 and 5 and N-hydroxyethyl-pyrrolidine homoazasugars 6 and 7 with full stereocontrol is being reported. The key step involved is the intermolecular Michael addition of benzylamine to D-glucose derived alpha,beta-unsaturated ester 8 followed by N-alkylation with ethyl bromoacetate. Reduction with LAH, acetylation, hydrogenation and protection with -Cbz group afforded compounds 14a and 14b. Removal of 1,2-acetonide functionality, hydrogenation and deacetylation afforded N-hydroxyethyl-D-gluco-1-deoxyhomonojirimycin (4) and N-hydroxyethyl-L-ido-1-deoxyhomonojirimycin (5), respectively. Compounds 14a and 14b on acetylation followed by removal of 1,2-acetonide functionality, sodium metaperiodate oxidation, hydrogenation and deacetylation gave 1,4,5-trideoxy-1,4-imino-N-hydroxyethyl-D-arabino-hexitol (6) and 1,4,5-trideoxy-1,4-imino-N-hydroxyethyl-L-xylo-hexitol (7), respectively. The glycosidase inhibition activity of compounds 4, 5, 6, 7, 16a and 16b was evaluated using sweet almond seed as a rich source of different glycosidases.

Syntheses of 1,2-diamino and 1,2-aminoalcohol derivatives in the piperidine and pyrrolidine series as anti-amnesic agents.

Tacrine, one of the drugs available for Alzheimer's disease based on the cholinergic approach, suffers from considerable toxicity. Many analogues of tacrine has been prepared which retain the pharmacologically rich aminopyridine or aminoquinoline motifs. The current research is a continuation of our efforts in the area of 11-aminobenzoquinolizidines (4) and 10-aminobenzoindolizidines (5) (cf. ref9). A serendipitous discovery led us to the biologically active open chain analogue 9, and we proceeded to elaborate on this molecule. Overall, the compounds we prepared were poor inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase as compared to tacrine. The single exception was compound 20 which exhibited an effect comparable to that of tacrine, but only at a dose in the order of 10(-3) M. However, despite the poor acetylcholinesterase inhibition by 9, this compound was found to be an effective antiamnesic agent.

Analogues of 1-(3,10-dibromo-8-chloro-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo-[5,6]-cyclohepta [1,2-b]pyridin-11-yl)piperidine as inhibitors of farnesyl protein transferase.

The synthesis of several 4-pyridylacetyl N-oxide derivatives of 4-(3-bromo-6,11-dihydro-5H-benzo[5,6]-cyclohepta[1,2-b]-pyridin-11-yl)pi perazine/piperidine 3 is described. This study was aimed at identifying fomesyl protein transferase (FPT) inhibitors in these two series of tricycles containing different phenyl ring substituents. The in vitro activity profile of the initial group of compounds 7a-7g led to the synthesis of the 8-methyl-10-methoxy and 8-methyl-10-bromo analogues 7i, 13i, and 13j. The 11R(-) enantiomers of these compounds were found to exhibit potent in vitro FPT inhibition activity.

Synthesis and preliminary evaluation of [123I]1-(4-cyanobenzyl)-4-[[(trans-iodopropen-2-yl)oxy]meth yl]piperidin e: a novel high affinity sigma receptor radioligand for SPECT.

1-(4-Cyanobenzyl)-4-[[(trans-iodopropen-2-yl)oxy]methyl]pipe ridine (2) has been synthesized as a novel iodinated ligand for sigma receptors. This new compound exhibited high affinity (Ki = 0.38 nM) for the sigma-1 receptor and selectivity for sigma-1 vs. sigma-2 receptors (Ki sigma-1/sigma-2 = 0.02) using in vitro receptor binding assays. Moderate affinity for muscarinic M1 (Ki = 322 nM) and M2 (Ki = 178 nM) receptors and low affinity (Ki = 1,460 nM) for dopamine D2 receptors was also noted. The lipophilicity of 2 (log P7.5 = 3.24) is moderate, indicating that the ligand should readily cross the blood/brain barrier. The corresponding radioiodinated ligand, 123I-2, was synthesized from the appropriate trans vinyl tributylstannane precursor under acidic conditions using oxidative iododestannylation methods. HPLC purification provided the radioligand in yields ranging between 63 and 75% EOS (n = 5) and with > 99% radiochemical purity and a specific activity > 77,000 MBq/mumol. Preliminary in vivo distribution and pharmacological blocking studies using 123I-2 were performed in male Australian Albino Wistar rats. 123I-2 exhibited good brain uptake (1.11 +/- 0.14% ID at 20 min PI) with no significant loss of radioactivity from the brain over the course of the study (4 h). The gross regional brain distribution of the radioligand showed highest uptake in the posterior cortex and frontal cortex, with slightly lower uptake in other brain regions examined. Most of the uptake of radioactivity in the brain, lung, heart, muscle, and kidney was prevented by pre-administration of compounds with affinity for sigma receptors, indicating the in vivo specificity of the ligand. In view of these results, 123I-2 shows promise for the in vivo tomographic evaluation of sigma receptor densities.
