Convenient synthesis of substituted piperidinones from alpha,beta-unsaturated amides: formal synthesis of deplancheine, tacamonine, and paroxetine.

[reaction: see text] An intermolecular aza-double Michael reaction leading to functionalized piperidin-2-ones from simple starting materials has been developed. The method allows alpha,beta-unsaturated amides to be used as a synthon of the piperidine nucleus. In addition, the utility of this methodology is demonstrated by its application to a formal synthesis of the indolo[2,3-a]quinolizidine alkaloids, (+/-)-deplancheine, (+/-)-tacamonine, and the antidepressant paroxetine.

RCM-mediated synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing nitrogen heterocycles.

A ring-closing metathesis mediated pathway to trifluoromethyl-containing piperidines is detailed. This involves the development of a synthetic route to a new (trifluoromethyl)allylating reagent via a Diels-Alder/retro-Diels-Alder strategy, its application in the synthesis of a series of trifluormethyl-substituted diolefin precursors for ring-closing metathesis, and eventually the successful cyclization of these precursor molecules into the corresponding functionalized piperidines.

Structure-activity relationship of cyclic nitroxides as SOD mimics and scavengers of nitrogen dioxide and carbonate radicals.

Synthetic nitroxide antioxidants attenuate oxidative damage in various experimental models. Their protective effect reportedly depends on ring size and ring substituents and is greater for nitroxides having lower oxidation potential. The present study focuses on the kinetics and mechanisms of the reactions of piperidine, pyrrolidine and oxazolidine nitroxides with HO2*/O2*-, *NO2 and CO3*- radicals, which are key intermediates in many inflammatory and degenerative diseases. It is demonstrated that nitroxides are the most efficient scavengers of *NO2 at physiological pH (k = (3-9) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)) and among the most effective metal-independent scavengers of CO3*- radicals (k = (2 - 6) x 10(8) M(-1) s(-1)). Their reactivity toward HO2*, though not toward *NO2 and CO3*-, depends on the nature of the ring side-chain and particularly on the ring-size. All nitroxide derivatives react slowly with O2*- and are relatively inefficient SOD mimics at physiological pH. Even piperidine nitroxides, having the highest SOD-like activity, demonstrate a catalytic activity of about 1000-fold lower than that of native SOD at pH 7.4. The present results do not indicate any correlation between the kinetics of HO2*/O2*-, *NO2 and CO3*- removal by nitroxides and their protective activity against biological oxidative stress and emphasize the importance of target-oriented nitroxides, i.e., interaction between the biological target and specific nitroxides.

Tandem overman rearrangement and intramolecular amidomercuration reactions. stereocontrolled synthesis of cis- and trans-2,6-dialkylpiperidines.

[reaction: see text] Hg(II)-mediated tandem Overman rearrangement and intramolecular amidomercuration reactions were proven to provide a convenient tool for the stereoselective synthesis of cis- and trans-2,6-disubstituted piperidines. Thus, upon treatment with Hg(OTFA)(2) in THF, the trichloroacetimidate 1 directly transformed into the 2,6-dialkyl piperidine 2 with almost exclusive trans selectivity. The amiodomercuration reaction of the carbamate 7 by Hg(OTFA)(2) in nitromethane showed an excellent cis selectivity. Also reported is the stereoselective synthesis of solenopsin A and isosolenopsin A.

Effects of GABA(A) receptor partial agonists in primary cultures of cerebellar granule neurons and cerebral cortical neurons reflect different receptor subunit compositions.

Based on an unexpected high maximum response to piperidine-4-sulphonic acid (P4S) at human alpha1alpha6beta2gamma2 GABA(A) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes attempts to correlate this finding with the pharmacological profile of P4S and other GABA(A) receptor ligands in neuronal cultures from rat cerebellar granule cells and rat cerebral cortex were carried out. GABA and isoguvacine acted as full and piperidine-4-sulphonic acid (P4S) as partial agonists, respectively, at alpha1beta2gamma2, alpha6beta2gamma2 and alpha1alpha6beta2gamma2 GABA receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes with differences in potency. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings were used to investigate the pharmacological profile of the partial GABA(A) receptor agonists 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo-(5,4-c)pyridin-3-ol (THIP), P4S, 5-(4-piperidyl)isoxazol-3-ol (4-PIOL), and 3-(4-piperidyl)isoxazol-5-ol (iso-4-PIOL), and the competitive GABA(A) receptor antagonists Bicuculline Methbromide (BMB) and 2-(3-carboxypropyl)-3-amino-6-methoxyphenyl-pyridazinium bromide (SR95531) on cerebral cortical and cerebellar granule neurons. In agreement with findings in oocytes, GABA, isoguvacine and P4S showed similar pharmacological profiles in cultured cortical and cerebellar neurones, which are known to express mainly alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, and alpha5 containing receptors and alpha1, alpha6 and alpha1alpha6 containing receptors, respectively. 4-PIOL and iso-4-PIOL, which at GABA(A) receptors expressed in oocytes were weak antagonists, showed cell type dependent potency as inhibitors of GABA mediated responses. Thus, 4-PIOL was slightly more potent at cortical neurones than at granule neurones and iso-4-PIOL was more potent in inhibiting isoguvacine-evoked currents at cortical than at granule neurons. Furthermore the maximum response to 4-PIOL corresponded to that of a partial agonist, whereas that of iso-4-PIOL gave a maximum response close to zero. It is concluded that the pharmacological profile of partial agonists is highly dependent on the receptor composition, and that small structural changes of a ligand can alter the selectivity towards different subunit compositions. Moreover, this study shows that pharmacological actions determined in oocytes are generally in agreement with data obtained from cultured neurons.

Acute wake-promoting actions of JNJ-5207852, a novel, diamine-based H3 antagonist.

1 1-[4-(3-piperidin-1-yl-propoxy)-benzyl]-piperidine (JNJ-5207852) is a novel, non-imidazole histamine H3 receptor antagonist, with high affinity at the rat (pKi=8.9) and human (pKi=9.24) H3 receptor. JNJ-5207852 is selective for the H3 receptor, with negligible binding to other receptors, transporters and ion channels at 1 microm. 2 JNJ-5207852 readily penetrates the brain tissue after subcutaneous (s.c.) administration, as determined by ex vivo autoradiography (ED50 of 0.13 mg kg(-1) in mice). In vitro autoradiography with 3H-JNJ-5207852 in mouse brain slices shows a binding pattern identical to that of 3H-R-alpha-methylhistamine, with high specific binding in the cortex, striatum and hypothalamus. No specific binding of 3H-JNJ-5207852 was observed in brains of H3 receptor knockout mice. 3 In mice and rats, JNJ-5207852 (1-10 mg kg(-1) s.c.) increases time spent awake and decreases REM sleep and slow-wave sleep, but fails to have an effect on wakefulness or sleep in H3 receptor knockout mice. No rebound hypersomnolence, as measured by slow-wave delta power, is observed. The wake-promoting effects of this H3 receptor antagonist are not associated with hypermotility. 4 A 4-week daily treatment of mice with JNJ-5207852 (10 mg kg(-1) i.p.) did not lead to a change in body weight, possibly due to the compound being a neutral antagonist at the H3 receptor. 5 JNJ-5207852 is extensively absorbed after oral administration and reaches high brain levels. 6 The data indicate that JNJ-5207852 is a novel, potent and selective H3 antagonist with good in vitro and in vivo efficacy, and confirm the wake-promoting effects of H3 receptor antagonists.

The ventral tegmental area as a putative target for tachykinins in cardiovascular regulation.

Tachykinin receptor agonists and antagonists were microinjected into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to study the relative participation of the three tachykinin receptors in cardiovascular regulation in freely behaving rat. Selective agonists (1-100 pmol) for NK1 ([Sar9, Met (O2)11]SP), NK2 ([beta-Ala8]NKA (4-10)) and NK3 (senktide) receptors evoked increases in blood pressure, heart rate (HR) along with behavioural manifestations (face washing, sniffing, head scratching, rearing, wet dog shake). At 1 pmol, NK1 and NK3 agonists did not affect behaviour and blood pressure but only HR. Tachykinin agonists-induced cardiovascular responses were selectively and reversibly blocked by the prior injection of antagonists for NK1 receptors (LY 303870 ((R)-1-[N-(2-methoxybenzyl)acetylamino]-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-[N-(2-(4-(piperidin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl)acetyl)amino]propane), 5 nmol), NK2 receptors (SR 48968 ([(S)-N-methyl-N-[4-acetylamino-4-phenylpiperidino-2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)butyl]benzamide]), 250 pmol) and NK3 receptors (SB 235375 ((-)-(S)-N-(alpha-ethylbenzyl)-3-(carboxymethoxy)-2-phenylquinoline-4-carboxamide), 25 nmol). With the exception of the NK2 agonist, most behavioural effects were also blocked by antagonists. Tachykinin agonists-induced cardiovascular responses were inhibited by intravenous (i.v.) treatments with antagonists for D1 dopamine receptor (SCH23390, 0.2 mg kg(-1)) and beta1-adrenoceptor (atenolol, 5 mg kg(-1)) but not for D2 dopamine receptor (raclopride, 0.16 mg kg(-1)). Behavioural responses were blocked by SCH23390 only. The present study provides the first pharmacological evidence that the three tachykinin receptors in the rat VTA can affect the autonomic control of blood pressure and HR by increasing midbrain dopaminergic transmission. This mechanism may be involved in the coordination of behavioural and cardiovascular responses to stress and noxious stimulation.

First synthesis of etidronate partial amides starting from PCl3.

Methods for the preparation of mixed tetra-amide esters 1 and 2, the partial amide ester 3, and tri- and P,P-diamides 4 and 5 from monophosphorus spieces 12, 8 and 9, respectively, were developed. Compounds 8 and 9 were obtained from phosphorus trichloride via MeOPCl2, which was treated with 2 eq. and 4 eq. of piperidine, followed by water or acetyl chloride, respectively. Tetrasubstituted amide bisphosphonates 1 and 2 were selectively dealkylated with lithium or silyl halide to achieve target compounds 3-5. Piperidine was found to be a good desilylation reagent. Quantum mechanical calculations illustrate why derivative 2 was produced in low yield. The usefulness of compounds 1, 3 and 4 as prodrugs of etidronate was determined in aqueous buffer and human serum.

Phencyclidine binds to blood platelets with high affinity and specifically inhibits their activation by adrenaline.

The ion channel probe phencyclidine [1-(1-phenylcyclohexyl)piperidine; PCP] selectively inhibited aggregation, secretion and ultrastructural changes in platelets induced by adrenaline, but did not affect activation induced by other common platelet agonists such as alpha-thrombin, ADP, collagen or ionophore A23187. [3H]PCP bound to platelets with high affinity (Kd 134 +/- 33 nM; 3600 +/- 1020 sites/platelet), as did the thienyl analogue [3H]TCP (1-[1-(2-thienyl)cyclohexyl]piperidine). PCP binding to platelets was increased 3-4-fold in N-methylglucamine buffer in the absence of Na+ ions. Binding was unaffected by haloperidol and was only weakly inhibited (EC50 10-20 microM), without significant stereoselectivity by the two sets of stereoselective ligands, dexoxadrol/levoxadrol and (+)MK801/(-)MK801. Binding of PCP was not competed for by adrenaline or yohimbine. Only the high-affinity binding of [3H]PCP to platelets was blocked by prior treatment of the platelets with the covalent affinity probe Metaphit, and these platelets no longer aggregated in response to adrenaline although they responded normally to alpha-thrombin, ADP and collagen. These results suggest that platelets contain high-affinity receptors for PCP that can modulate adrenaline-induced platelet activation.

CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 are the principal enzymes involved in the human in vitro biotransformation of the insulin secretagogue repaglinide.

AIMS: To identify the principal human cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme(s) responsible for the human in vitro biotransformation of repaglinide. Previous experiments have identified CYP3A4 as being mainly responsible for the in vitro metabolism of repaglinide, but the results of clinical investigations have suggested that more than one enzyme may be involved in repaglinide biotransformation. METHODS: [14C]-Repaglinide was incubated with recombinant CYP and with human liver microsomes (HLM) from individual donors in the presence of inhibitory antibodies specific for individual CYP enzymes. Metabolites, measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with on-line radiochemical detection, were identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (LC-MS) and LC-MS coupled on-line to a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (LC-MS-NMR). RESULTS: CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 were found to be responsible for the conversion of repaglinide into its two primary metabolites, M4 (resulting from hydroxylation on the piperidine ring system) and M1 (an aromatic amine). Specific inhibitory monoclonal antibodies against CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 significantly inhibited (> 71%) formation of M4 and M1 in HLM. In a panel of HLM from 12 individual donors formation of M4 and M1 varied from approximately 160-880 pmol min-1 mg-1 protein and from 100-1110 pmol min-1 mg-1 protein, respectively. The major metabolite generated by CYP2C8 was found to be M4. The rate of formation of this metabolite in HLM correlated significantly with paclitaxel 6alpha-hydroxylation (rs = 0.80; P = 0.0029). Two other minor metabolites were also detected. One of them was M1 and the other was repaglinide hydroxylated on the isopropyl moiety (M0-OH). The rate of formation of M4 in CYP2C8 Supersomes was 2.5 pmol min-1 pmol-1 CYP enzyme and only about 0.1 pmol min-1 pmol-1 CYP enzyme in CYP3A4 Supersomes. The major metabolite generated by CYP3A4 was M1. The rate of formation of this metabolite in HLM correlated significantly with testosterone 6beta-hydroxylation (rs = 0.90; P = 0.0002). Three other metabolites were identified, namely, M0-OH, M2 (a dicarboxylic acid formed by oxidative opening of the piperidine ring) and M5. The rate of M1 formation in CYP3A4 Supersomes was 1.6 pmol min-1 pmol-1 CYP enzyme but in CYP2C8 Supersomes it was only approximately 0.4 pmol min-1 pmol-1 CYP enzyme. CONCLUSIONS: The results confirm an important role for both CYP3A4 and CYP2C8 in the human in vitro biotransformation of repaglinide. This dual CYP biotransformation may have consequences for the clinical pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions involving repaglinide if one CYP pathway has sufficient capacity to compensate if the other is inhibited.

Aromatic amino-acid residues at the active and peripheral anionic sites control the binding of E2020 (Aricept) to cholinesterases.

E2020 (R,S)-1-benzyl-4-[(5,6-dimethoxy-1-indanon)-2-yl]methyl)piperidine hydrochloride is a piperidine-based acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor that was approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in the United States. Structure-activity studies of this class of inhibitors have indicated that both the benzoyl containing functionality and the N-benzylpiperidine moiety are the key features for binding and inhibition of AChE. In the present study, the interaction of E2020 with cholinesterases (ChEs) with known sequence differences, was examined in more detail by measuring the inhibition constants with Torpedo AChE, fetal bovine serum AChE, human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), and equine BChE. The basis for particular residues conferring selectivity was then confirmed by using site-specific mutants of the implicated residue in two template enzymes. Differences in the reactivity of E2020 toward AChE and BChE (200- to 400-fold) show that residues at the peripheral anionic site such as Asp74(72), Tyr72(70), Tyr124(121), and Trp286(279) in mammalian AChE may be important in the binding of E2020 to AChE. Site-directed mutagenesis studies using mouse AChE showed that these residues contribute to the stabilization energy for the AChE-E2020 complex. However, replacement of Ala277(Trp279) with Trp in human BChE does not affect the binding of E2020 to BChE. Molecular modeling studies suggest that E2020 interacts with the active-site and the peripheral anionic site in AChE, but in the case of BChE, as the gorge is larger, E2020 cannot simultaneously interact at both sites. The observation that the KI value for mutant AChE in which Ala replaced Trp286 is similar to that for wild-type BChE, further confirms our hypothesis.

Tachykinin NK(3)receptor involvement in anxiety.

This study investigates the effects of intracerebroventricular injection of selective agonists and antagonists of tachykinin NK(3)receptor on performance of mice in the elevated plus-maze test. Mice were treated with either vehicle or 1, 10, 100 or 500 pmol of neurokinin B or senktide ([succinil-Asp(6), MePhe(8)]substance P(6-11), a natural and synthetic selective NK(3)receptor agonists, respectively. Other mice received similar doses of [Trp(7)beta-Ala(8)]NKA(4-10)or SR 142801 ((S)-N-(1-(3-(1-benzoyl-3-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-piperidin-3-yl)propyl)-4-phenyl-piperidin- 4-yl)-N-m ethylacetamide) tachykinin NK(3)receptor selective peptide and non-peptide antagonists, respectively. Senktide significantly increased the frequency of entries and the time spent in the open arms, which is compatible with an anxiolytic action. Neurokinin B treatment did not alter the plus-maze parameters in a significant way. Conversely, the NK(3)peptide antagonist [Trp(7)beta-Ala(8)]NKA(4-10), but not SR142801 non-peptide antagonist, showed a reverse effect, i.e. an anxiogenic profile of action, reducing the frequency and the time spent in the open arms. Co-injection of either senktide plus [Trp(7)beta-Ala(8)]NKA((4-10)), or senktide plus SR 142801, blocked the effects promoted by senktide, indicating that centrally-administered NK(3)receptor agonists and antagonists can modulate experimental anxiety.

Centrally active modulators of glutamate receptors facilitate the induction of long-term potentiation in vivo.

An experimental drug, 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylcarbonyl)piperidine, that facilitates glutamatergic transmission in brain after systemic administration was tested for its effects on the induction of long-term potentiation in the hippocampus of rats. Intraperitoneal injections of the drug markedly increased the degree and duration of long-term potentiation; similar results were obtained with an analogue of 1-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylcarbonyl)piperidine that was also found to improve retention of memory in a radial maze task and in an odor-matching problem. These results define tools for enhancing long-term potentiation in vivo and confirm an important prediction from the hypothesis that long-term potentiation is a substrate of memory.

Identification and quantification of phencyclidine pyrolysis products formed during smoking.

As a result of frequent phencyclidine (PCP) abuse, pyrolysis studies were conducted to further investigate its fate during smoking. Marijuana placebo cigarettes were impregnated with 3H-PCP X HCI and burned under conditions simulating smoking. Mainstream smoke was passed through glass wool filters as well as acidic and basic traps. Approximately 90% of the starting material could be accounted for in the first glass wool trap and cigarette holder. HPLC and GC/MS analysis of methanol extracts of these glass wool traps revealed the presence of 1-phenyl-1-cyclohexene (47% of the starting material) greater than PCP (40%) greater than piperidine (15%) greater than N-acetylpiperidine (9%). It was not possible to fully account for the remainder of the piperidine moiety. It has been reported that at high temperatures PCP is converted to numerous polynuclear aromatic compounds which include styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, biphenyl, cyclohexylbenzene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, and anthracene. These compounds were not formed from PCP under smoking conditions.

Novel reagents for chemical cleavage at abasic sites and UV photoproducts in DNA.

Hot piperidine is often used to cleave abasic and UV-irradiated DNA at the sites of damage. It can inflict non-specific damage on DNA, probably because it is a strong base and creates significant concentrations of hydroxyl ions which can attack purines and pyrimidines. We show that several other amines can cleave abasic DNA at or near neutral pH without non-specific damage. One diamine, N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine, efficiently cleaves abasic DNA at pH 7.4 by either beta- or beta,delta-elimination, depending on temperature. Using end-labelled oligonucleotides we show that cleavage depends mainly on elimination reactions, but that 4',5'-cyclization is also significant. This reagent also cleaves at photoproducts induced by UVC and UVB, producing the same overall pattern as piperidine, but with no non-specific damage. It should prove valuable in locating low levels of photoproducts in DNA, such as those induced by natural sunlight.
