- Divergent Synthesis of γ-Amino Acid and γ-Lactam Derivatives from meso-Glutaric Anhydrides
-
The first divergent synthesis of both γ-amino acid and γ-lactam derivatives from meso-glutaric anhydrides is described. The organocatalytic desymmetrisation with TMSN3 relies on controlled generation of a nucleophilic ammonium azide species mediated by a polystyrene-bound base to promote efficient silylazidation. After Curtius rearrangement of the acyl azide intermediate to access the corresponding isocyanate, hydrolysis/alcoholysis provided uniformly high yields of γ-amino acids and their N-protected counterparts. The same intermediates were shown to undergo an unprecedented decarboxylation–cyclisation cascade in situ to provide synthetically useful yields of γ-lactam derivatives without using any further activating agents. Mechanistic insights invoke the intermediacy of an unconventional γ-N-carboxyanhydride (γ-NCA) in the latter process. Among the examples prepared using this transformation are 8 APIs/molecules of considerable medicinal interest.

- Substituted 1-methyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-ones – Fragment-based design of N-methylpyrrolidone-derived bromodomain inhibitors
-
N-Methylpyrrolidone is one of several chemotypes that have been described as a mimetic of acetyl-lysine in the development of bromodomain inhibitors. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of a 4-phenyl substituted analogue – 1-methyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one – and the use of aryl substitution reactions as a divergent route for derivatives. Ultimately, this has led to structurally complex, chiral compounds with progressively improved affinity as inhibitors of bromodomain-containing protein 4.

- Dendritic polyglycerol as a high-loading support for parallel multistep synthesis of GABA lactam analogues
-
A general route to 4-substituted azolidin-2-ones (GABA lactam analogues) on a soluble high-loading polyglycerol support has been developed and optimized. These biologically interesting compounds (anticonvulsive drugs) can be synthesized in three steps commencing from a polyglycerol supported (diethylphosphono)acetic acid and a carbonyl compound. The key features of this parallel approach are the cyclative cleavage and simple separation techniques (i.e., dialysis).

- Synthesis and Biological Analysis of Anti-addiction Effect and Hepatotoxicity of Tow Baclofen Analogues Complexed with β-Cyclodextrin
-
Aim and Objective: The excessive consumption of alcohol and the installation of dependence is, in most cases, facilitated by favorable psychological factors that trigger and maintain the behavior of consumers. Examples more frequently encountered in individuals having difficulty with alcohol are, in particular: one or more anxiety disorders, deficits in the capacities to manage stress and anxiety. The main objective of this work was to study in vivo the anti-addiction effect and hepatotoxicity of tow baclofen analogues complexed with β-Cyclodextrin (βCD) on an alcohol-dependent rat model. Materials and Methods: The synthesis of two analogues, ABF1 and ABF2, close to baclofen was reported. The structural determination of the two compounds was confirmed by NMR and IR analysis. The complexation of analogues with β-Cyclodextrin (βCD) was performed in water at room temperature (25 °C). The interactions of ABF with β-Cyclodextrin, and the stability constant (Ka) of the inclusion complex formed between them were investigated by using UV-visible spectroscopy. The biological effects of baclofen and the two analogues on alcohol dependence were studied in wistar rats. The anti-addiction effect of the analogues was tested by measuring the alcohol intake and the variation of the animal behaviour. The toxicity of the compounds was also analysed on liver injury markers. Results: The amino-3-phenylbutanoic acid (ABF1) and 3,4,5-trihydroxy-N-(methyl-2-acetate) benzamide (ABF2) were synthesized. The complexation of both analogues of baclofen (BF) with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) (ABF-βCD) was realized and confirmed by the stability constant of the inclusion complex (Ka) and Job’s method. The evaluation of anti-addiction activity in vivo showed that ABF1-βCD inhibits the consumption of alcohol at doses equivalent to those of baclofen. Both baclofen analogues have shown an anxiolytic effect. Regarding the toxicity of the two compounds, our results showed that ABF1-βCD has less toxic effect than baclofen; it reduces the activity of ALT and AST enzymes. Histologically, ABF1-βCD has no effect on the liver structure and has a protective effect against lesions alcohol-induced liver disease. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be suggested that ABF1 analogue combined with β-Cyclodextrin can be used as a treatment for alcohol dependence. Further clinical works are needed to confirm its effectiveness.

- Assembling of medium/long chain-based β-arylated unnatural amino acid derivatives via the Pd(II)-catalyzed sp3 β-C-H arylation and a short route for rolipram-type derivatives
-
In this paper, we report the assembling of libraries of β-arylated short/medium/long chain-based non-α-amino acid (aminoalkanoic acid) derivatives via the Pd(II)-catalyzed, bidentate directing group 8-aminoquinoline-aided sp3 β-C-H activation/arylation method. Short/medium chain-based unnatural amino acid derivatives containing an aryl group at the β-position are promising small molecules with therapeutic properties. Thus, it is necessary to enrich the libraries of short/medium/long chain-based unnatural amino acid derivatives containing an aryl group at the β-position. Considering the importance of β-arylated short/medium/long chain-based non-α-amino acid derivatives, an inclusive attention was paid to explore the Pd(II)-catalyzed sp3 β-C-H arylation of short/medium/long chain-based non-α-amino acids. Representative synthetic transformations including a short route for the assembling of rolipram and related compounds and 3-arylated GABA derivatives such as, baclofen, phenibut and tolibut were shown using selected β-C-H arylated non-α-amino acid derivatives.

- New multicomponent reaction for the direct synthesis of β-aryl-γ-nitroesters promoted by hydrotalcite-derived mixed oxides as heterogeneous catalyst
-
A new approach based on multicomponent/domino combined reactions for the synthesis of γ-nitroesters promoted by a mixed aluminium-magnesium oxides derived from hydrotalcite-like material was developed. Different γ-nitroesters were synthesized in 15-95percent yield using Meldrum's acid, aromatic aldehydes, nitromethane and different alcohols as reagents and solvents. The γ-aminobutyric acid derivatives, Phenibut and Baclofen, were prepared in 63 and 61percent overall yield, respectively, through a two steps synthetic strategy. A mechanistic pathway was proposed based on the gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) experiments.

- Efficient synthesis of β-aryl-γ-lactams and their resolution with (S)-Naproxen: Preparation of (R)- and (S)-Baclofen
-
An efficient synthesis of enantiomerically-pure β-aryl-γ-lactams is described. The principal feature of this synthesis is the practical resolution of β-aryl-γ-lactams with (S)-Naproxen. The procedure is based on the Michael addition of nitromethane to benzylidenemalonates, which was easily obtained, followed by the reduction of the γ-nitroester in the presence of Raney nickel and the subsequent saponification/decarboxylation reaction. The utility of this methodology was highlighted by the preparation of enantiomerically-pure (R)- and (S)-Baclofen hydrochloride.

Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to nitrostyrenes is efficiently promoted by hydrotalcite [Mg-Al] to afford the respective γ-nitrodicarbonyl adducts. Differently, the addition of Meldrum's acid leads to a direct access of γ-nitroesters through a one pot domino process. GABA derivatives (+/-)-phenibut and (+/-)-baclofen were readily synthesized from the respective nitro adducts.

- Chemical assembly systems: Layered control for divergent, continuous, multistep syntheses of active pharmaceutical ingredients
-
While continuous chemical processes have attracted both academic and industrial interest, virtually all active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are still produced by using multiple distinct batch processes. To date, methods for the divergent multistep continuous production of customizable small molecules are not available. A chemical assembly system was developed, in which flow-reaction modules are linked together in an interchangeable fashion to give access to a wide breadth of chemical space. Control at three different levels - choice of starting material, reagent, or order of reaction modules - enables the synthesis of five APIs that represent three different structural classes (γ-amino acids, γ-lactams, β-amino acids), including the blockbuster drugs Lyrica and Gabapentin, in good overall yields (49-75%).

- Multisite organic-inorganic hybrid catalysts for the direct sustainable synthesis of GABAergic drugs
-
Multisite organic-inorganic hybrid catalysts have been prepared and applied in a new general, practical, and sustainable synthetic procedure toward industrially relevant GABA derivatives. The domino sequence is composed of seven chemical transformations which are performed in two one-pot reactions. The method produces both enantiomeric forms of the product in high enantiopurity as well as the racemate in good yields after a single column purification step. This protocol highlights major process intensification, catalyst recyclability, and low waste generation.

- Discovery of heterocyclic nonacetamide synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) ligands with single-digit nanomolar potency: Opening avenues towards the first SV2A positron emission tomography (PET) ligands
-
The role of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) protein, target of the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam, is still mostly unknown. Considering its potential to provide in vivo functional insights into the role of SV2A in epileptic patients, the development of an SV2A positron emission tomography (PET) tracer has been undertaken. Using a 3D pharmacophore model based on close analogues of levetiracetam, we report the rationale design of three heterocyclic non-acetamide lead compounds, UCB-A, UCB-H and UCB-J, the first single-digit nanomolar SV2A ligands with suitable properties for development as PET tracers. Avenues towards imaging... of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in vivo were opened after the rationale discovery of the first non-acetamide SV2A ligands, displaying single-digit nanomolar potency, using a 3D pharmacophore model. An extensive profiling of the most potent compounds allowed the identification of three leads (see figure) as potential candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) ligand development.

- β-Substituted γ-butyrolactams from mucochloric acid: Synthesis of (±)-baclofen and other γ-aminobutyric acids and useful building blocks
-
In the course of our exploration of the application of mucohalic acids in organic synthesis, we reported the synthesis of α,β-dihalo-α, β-unsaturated γ-butyrolactams by reductive amination of a suitable mucohalic acid and a suitable amine. However, the functionalization of the α- and/or β-halogen was found to be elusive under Suzuki conditions that worked well with the corresponding γ-lactones. Although the corresponding β-aryl derivative was obtained under some of the modified Suzuki conditions tried, the yields were found to be very low. Next, the Suzuki coupling was performed on mucochloric acid prior to the reductive amination step. By careful control of the reaction conditions, only β-substitution was achieved to yield the corresponding β-aryl mucochloric acid. This could then be converted to the corresponding β-substituted γ-butyrolactam by reductive amination with 2,4-dimethoxybenzylamine (DMB-NH2) followed by reduction by nickel boride and subsequent deprotection of the DMB group. The resulting γ-butyrolactam could either be alkylated or hydrolyzed resulting in the corresponding β-substituted γ-aminobutyric acid. This methodology was extended to synthesize (±)-baclofen in five steps starting from mucochloric acid.

- Phenyl-Substituted Analogues of Oxotremorine as Muscarinic Antagonists
-
A series of phenyl-substituted analogues of the muscarinic agent oxotremorine (1) have been prepared.The new compounds (3b-11b and 9c) were assayed for antimuscarinic activity on the isolated guinea pig ileum and in intact mice.They were also evaluated for ability to inhibit the binding of the muscarinic antagonist (-)--N-methylscopolamine to homogenates of the rat cerebral cortex.The phenyl-substituted derivatives were devoid of intrinsic muscarinic activity.Instead, they behaved as competitive muscarinic antagonists in these assays with similar or lower affinity for muscarinic receptors than the corresponding methyl-substituted analogues.The succinimide (8b) and the pyrrolidone (3b) derivatives of 1 substituted with a phenyl group at position 1 of the bytynyl chain showed the highest antimuscarinic potency with dissociation constants (KD) of 0.10 and 0.20 μM, respectively, in the ileum assay.The phenyl-substituted analogues showed an approximately 10-fold lower in vivo antimuscarinic potency than their corresponding methyl-substituted position isomers.A correlation was observed between in vitro and in vivo potency within subsets consisting of methyl- and phenyl-substituted derivatives.

- Inhibition of cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase from vascular smooth muscle by rolipram analogues
-
Rolipram [(R,S)-4-[3-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-pyrrolidone] has been shown to inhibit selectively the cAMP phopshodiesterase (PDE) of vascular smooth muscle. In order to further explore the structural requirements for selective PDE inhibition, we synthesized a series of rolipram derivatives differently substituted either at the pyrrolidinone or at the aromatic ring. Among these compounds, rolipram was the most active compound. Semirigid analogues were prepared and used for an evaluation of the active conformation of rolipram. Structural comparison with two other potent and chemically different smooth muscle cAMP-PDE inhibitors, trequinsin and Ro 20-1724, allows us to propose a first topological model of the smooth muscle cAMP-PDE pharmacophore.
