The over-stimulation of excitatory amino acid receptors such as the glutamate AMPA receptor has been suggested to be associated with neurodegenerative disorders. Here we describe an original series of readily water soluble 4-oxo-imidazo[1,2-a] indeno[1,2-e]pyrazin-8- and -9-carboxylic (acetic) acid derivatives. One of these compounds, 4f, exhibited nanomolar binding affinity, potent competitive antagonism at the ionotropic AMPA receptor and a long duration of anticonvulsant activity after administration by parenteral route in vivo.
A conformationally restricted analogue of trimethoprim (1a) has been prepared by connecting the ortho position of the benzene ring to the methylene linkage with two methylene groups, thus forming a dihydroindene derivative (2b). The chemistry involved the condensation of barbituric acid with an indanone derivative, followed by a three-step conversion to a 2,4-diaminopyrimidine. The S isomer of 2b was found to have a minimum-energy conformation very similar to that of 1a when bound to Escherichia coli dihydrofolate reductase, in contrast to that of 1a in vertebrate DHFR. Theoretically such a derivative might have increased specificity and activity against the bacterial enzyme. Molecular modeling experiments suggested that the actual decreased activity was due to crowding in the enzyme, caused by the extra atoms needed to restrict the conformation.
A pharmacophore model of the P1' site, specific for aggrecanase, was defined using the specificity studies of the matrix metalloproteinases and the similar biological activity of aggrecanase and MMP-8. Incorporation of the side chain of a tyrosine residue into compound 1 as the P1' group provided modest selectivity for aggrecanase over MMP-1, -2, and -9. A cis-(1S)(2R)-amino-2-indanol scaffold was incorporated as a tyrosine mimic (P2') to conformationally constrain 2. Further optimization resulted in compound 11, a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of aggrecanase.

Arylboronate esters bearing a pendant Michael-type acceptor olefin or acetylene linkage undergo transmetalation with a rhodium-based catalytic complex to generate a functionalized organorhodium intermediate which can cyclize onto nonterminal acetylenes in good to excellent yields. The catalytic system involves the use of electron-rich, sterically bulky ligands as tri-tert-butylphosphonium tetrafluoroborate stabilizing the organorhodium intermediates and reduces the incidence of protodeboronation in aqueous media.

C22H16O6, Mr = 376.37, monoclinic, P21/c, a = 9.555 (3), b = 15.664 (2), c = 12.300 (4) A, beta = 100.08 (2) degrees, V = 1812.5 (5) A3, Z = 4, Dx = 1.379 g cm-3, lambda(Cu K alpha) = 1.5418 A, mu = 8.0 cm-1, F(000) = 784, room temperature, R = 0.047, wR = 0.064 for 3203 observed reflections [I greater than 3 sigma (I)]. The molecule exists as the syn-trans isomer in the crystal. The crystal structure exhibits a number of C--H...O intermolecular contacts.
The structure of the title compound, C31H39NO7Si, was determined and found to be a fused tricyclic nitroso acetal. Remarkable features include a twist-boat conformation of the tetrahydro-1,2-oxazine ring and a highly pyramidalized N atom [Sigma (angles) = 310.6(6) degrees]. Three of the contiguous stereocenters in the nitroso acetal are of the same correct relative and absolute configuration as is found in (+)-crotanecine.
Effects of indeloxazine, a new compound which has been though to block reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline, on cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolites were evaluated in 11 patients with dementia. Treatment with 90 mg/day of indeloxazine for 6-8 weeks resulted in significant reduction in methoxyhydroxyphenylen glycol and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in these patients. These findings are consistent with results reported in experimental animals. The mode of action with respect to changes in monoamine metabolites and therapeutic implications of this compound are discussed.

The metabolism and disposition of LY186641, a diarylsulfonylurea with antineoplastic activity identified in preclinical tests, was determined in 21 patients who received 23 courses of orally administered drug. A linear correlation was found between the dose of drug administered and LY186641 peak plasma concentrations and LY186641 area under the curve measurements. Clearance (135 +/- 36 ml/h/m2), terminal half-life (31 +/- 11 h), and volume of distribution (10.2 +/- 2.8 liters) were independent of drug dose. No LY186641 was excreted in urine. Hydroxy and keto metabolites of LY186641 were identified in plasma and urine samples. Urinary excretion of these metabolites during the initial 48 h following drug administration accounted for 20% of LY186641 disposition. Plasma half-life of the hydroxy and keto metabolites was longer than that of parent drug (3.3 and 3.1 days, respectively). Plasma concentrations of parent drug correlated with the presence of methemoglobinemia, the dose-limiting toxicity found with LY186641.
Between February 1987 and July 1988, 45 patients with advanced refractory cancer were treated with LY186641, a diarylsulfonylurea that has shown a broad spectrum of activity in preclinical testing. Patients received a weekly p.o. dose of LY186641 for 6 consecutive weeks; responding and stable patients continued weekly therapy until progression occurred. Using a standard phase I study design, the first three patients received LY186641 at 30 mg/m2 week; the dose was escalated in subsequent patients until dose-limiting toxicity occurred. Methemoglobinemia was the major toxicity observed and was dose related. Methemoglobin levels peaked approximately 24 h after LY186641 was administered and fell to low levels after 48 h. Six patients developed fatigue, cyanosis, and dyspnea associated with serum methemoglobinemia levels of greater than 20%; four of these patients were subsequently removed from the study. Hemolytic anemia was also observed but was clinically significant in only 10 patients. Other side effects were mild and infrequent. The maximum tolerated dose of LY186641, when given at this schedule, was 2550 mg/m2/week. No objective tumor responses were observed.
