Stereochemistry of ulapualides, a new family of tris-oxazole-containing macrolide ionophores from marine nudibranchs. A molecular mechanics study.

A molecular mechanics study of the marine metabolite ulapualide A, which is suggested to have ionophoric properties, has been carried out on various metal chelated complexes in order to predict the stereochemistry of the natural product. The results suggest a stereochemistry for ulapualide A which is closely similar to structurally related marine metabolites, whose stereochemistries have been established by X-ray crystallography and by partial synthesis.

Fluorescence of mast cell granules in paraffin sections and cell smears induced by an N-quaternary oxazole scintillator.

The N-quaternized derivative of dimethyl-POPOP (termed Q4) induces a bluish-green fluorescent reaction in mast cell granules from paraffin sections and cell smears, in addition to a previously described bluish-white fluorescent reaction in chromatin DNA. The chromatin reaction was abolished by staining the samples either with Mayer's Haematoxylin before Q4 treatment or by Q4 treatment at pH 1.5. The reaction in mast cell granules was absent after substrate methylation. The staining sequence Haematoxylin-Eosin-Q4 also worked well in paraffin sections, allowing the observation of the current histological image under bright-field illumination as well as double-colour emission under fluorescence microscopy. The sequence is proposed as a new diagnostic procedure for demonstrating mast cell granules.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors derived from beta-aminoacylpiperidines bearing a fused thiazole, oxazole, isoxazole, or pyrazole.

A series of beta-aminoacylpiperidines bearing various fused five-membered heterocyclic rings was synthesized as dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors. Potent and relatively selective inhibition could be obtained, depending on choice of heterocycle, regioisomerism, and substitution. In particular, one analog (74, DPP-IV IC50=26 nM) exhibited good oral bioavailability and acceptable half-life in the rat, albeit with rather high clearance.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)- 4-hydroxyphenyl]methylene]oxazoles, -thiazoles, and -imidazoles: novel dual 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors with antiinflammatory activity.

A variety of benzylideneoxazoles, -thiazoles, and -imidazoles derived from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol were prepared and evaluated as dual inhibitors of 5-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-1) cells. The target compounds exhibit varying degrees of selectivity toward the two enzymes. Several compounds are orally active in the rat carageenan footpad edema (CFE) and mycobacterium footpad edema (MFE) antiinflammatory models. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. From this work, (Z)-5-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4- hydroxyphenyl]-methylene]-2-imino-4-thiazolidinone methanesulfonate salt (CI-1004) was identified as a potent dual inhibitor of 5-lipoxygenase (IC50 = 0.77 microM) and cyclooxygenase (IC50 = 0.39 microM), with oral activity (ID40 = 0.6 mg/kg) in the rat MFE model of inflammation.

Novel 5-HT3 antagonists: indol-3-ylspiro(azabicycloalkane-3,5'(4'H)-oxazoles).

The synthesis and biochemical evaluation of a series of spirofused indole oxazoline 5-HT3 antagonists is described in which the oxazoline ring acts as a bioisosteric replacement for esters and amides. The effect of substitution about the indole ring has shown the steric limitations of the aromatic binding site. Incorporation of a variety of azabicyclic systems within the rigid spirofused framework has allowed the definition of a binding model which incorporates a number of known antagonists and agonists. In this model steric constraints limit substitution around the indole ring although there is some bulk tolerance at the 1- and 2-positions. The importance of constraining the basic nitrogen within an azabicyclic system is underlined by comparison with the monocyclic piperidine. The highest affinity was observed for those compounds in which the basic nitrogen occupies a bridgehead position, the most potent analogue in this group being the azabicyclic [3.3.1] system (pIC50 = 8.95), suggesting lipophilic interactions may play a role in increasing affinity. A suggested model for agonist binding is included in which the basic nitrogens are superimposed and the 5-hydroxyl group of 5-HT is superimposed on the H-bond-accepting atom of the heterocyclic linking group.

Synthesis of nodulisporic acid 2' '-oxazoles and 2' '-thiazoles.

[reaction--see text] The semisynthetic conversion of nodulisporic acid A (1) into a set of three heterocyclic side chain derivatives provided compounds, highlighted by 6, with an improved spectrum of ectoparasiticidal activity and pharmacokinetic profile relative to the natural product.
