- A Nickel(II)-Mediated Thiocarbonylation Strategy for Carbon Isotope Labeling of Aliphatic Carboxamides
-
A series of pharmaceutically relevant small molecules and biopharmaceuticals bearing aliphatic carboxamides have been successfully labeled with carbon-13. Key to the success of this novel carbon isotope labeling technique is the observation that 13C-labeled NiII-acyl complexes, formed from a 13CO insertion step with NiII-alkyl intermediates, rapidly react in less than one minute with 2,2’-dipyridyl disulfide to quantitatively form the corresponding 2-pyridyl thioesters. Either the use of 13C-SilaCOgen or 13C-COgen allows for the stoichiometric addition of isotopically labeled carbon monoxide. Subsequent one-pot acylation of a series of structurally diverse amines provides the desired 13C-labeled carboxamides in good yields. A single electron transfer pathway is proposed between the NiII-acyl complexes and the disulfide providing a reactive NiIII-acyl sulfide intermediate, which rapidly undergoes reductive elimination to the desired thioester. By further optimization of the reaction parameters, reaction times down to only 11 min were identified, opening up the possibility of exploring this chemistry for carbon-11 isotope labeling. Finally, this isotope labeling strategy could be adapted to the synthesis of 13C-labeled liraglutide and insulin degludec, representing two antidiabetic drugs.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of novel naphthalenic and bioisosteric related amidic derivatives as melatonin receptor ligands
-
A series of N-naphthylethyl amide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as melatonin receptor ligands. The affinity of each compound for the melatonin receptor was determined by binding studies using [2- 125I]iodomelatonin on ovine pars tuberalis membrane homogenates. Structure-activity relationships led to the conclusion that naphthalene is a bioisostere of the indole moiety of melatonin. Moreover it appears that the affinity is strongly affected by the size of the substituent of the nitrogen of the amidic function. Many of these ligands give biphasic dose-response curves which suggests that there may be two melatonin receptor subtypes within the ovine pars tuberalis cells. The replacement of naphthalene by benzofuran or benzothiophene did not strongly alter the affinity for the melatonin receptor. In contrast, the benzimidazole analogue was a poor ligand. Compound 7, the naphthalenic analogue of melatonin, a selective ligand of the melatonin receptor and an agonist derivative, has been selected for clinical development.
