Piperidinyltetralin sigma ligands.

Sigma receptor ligands have been proposed to be potential antipsychotic drugs based on their activity profile in animal behavioral models and their indirect modulation of dopaminergic function. Compound 15 (DuP 734) is a combined antagonist of sigma-1 and serotonin 5HT2 receptors, which has been entered into phase I clinical trials as a potential antipsychotic drug. Tetralins 1 and 2 were prepared to determine whether restriction of the conformation of 15 and its analogs may lead to differences in binding selectivity or in vivo profile. The syntheses and the structure-activity relationships of these compounds are reported herein. A reduced derivative, 14, had high affinity for sigma-1 and serotonin 5HT2 receptors as well as excellent oral activity in some animal antipsychotic models. Furthermore, compound 14 failed to cause catalepsy in the rat up to 90 mg/kg (po).

Annulation of aromatic imines via directed C-H bond activation.

A directed C-H bond activation approach to the synthesis of indans, tetralins, dihydrofurans, dihydroindoles, and other polycyclic aromatic compounds is presented. Cyclization of aromatic ketimines and aldimines containing alkenyl groups tethered at the meta position relative to the imine directing group has been achieved using (PPh3)3RhCl (Wilkinson's catalyst). The cyclization of a range of aromatic ketimines and aldimines provides bi- and tricyclic ring systems with good regioselectivity. Different ring sizes and substitution patterns can be accessed through the coupling of monosubstituted, 1,1- or 1,2-disubstituted, and trisubstituted alkenes bearing both electron-rich and electron-deficient functionality.

Effects of colchicine on nucleic acid metabolism during metamorphosis of Tenebrio molitor L. and in some mammalian tissues.

1. Administration of 10mug. of colchicine/pupa of the beetle Tenebrio molitor L. arrests its differentiation, the pupa remaining alive for 2-3 weeks. 2. The same concentration of colchicine inhibits DNA synthesis and stimulates RNA synthesis (as shown by incorporation into the nucleic acids of labelled adenine, labelled uridine and labelled thymidine). The effects of colchicine on nucleic acid metabolism are first detected 3 days after its administration to first-day pupae. 3. No effects of colchicine are seen on [1-(14)C]glycine incorporation into protein in vivo. 4. Relatively high concentrations of colchicine (e.g. 10mm) suppress incorporation of [8-(14)C]adenine into RNA in dorsal abdominal wall in vitro. Such concentrations have no effect on its incorporation into acid-soluble nucleotides. 5. Colchicine (1mm) suppresses incorporation of [8-(14)C]adenine into DNA to a greater extent than into RNA in various mammalian tissues in vitro (e.g. rat spleen, regenerating rat liver, rat embryo, guinea-pig intestinal mucosa, Ehrlich ascites cells). Colchicine (1mm) has no effect on the rate of respiration of, or on incorporation of radioactivity into acid-soluble nucleotides in, the mammalian tissues tested. 6. Further evidence indicates complex-formation between colchicine and DNA, and it is suggested that the effect of colchicine in suppressing DNA synthesis is due to its combination with the DNA primer (template).
