- Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of novel N-cycloalkylcarbamates as potential cholinesterase inhibitors
-
Abstract: This present paper describes the preparation and characterization of a series of O-substituted N-cycloalkylcarbamate derivatives. These compounds were tested as inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). All studied carbamates exhibited moderate inhibitory activity of both cholinesterases with values of IC50 in the range of 36.1–78.6?μM for AChE and 9.8–215.4?μM for BChE, respectively. These values are comparable with those values of inhibition obtained with the established drug rivastigmine. The cytotoxicity of all carbamates was evaluated using standard in vitro test with Jurkat cells. Many of the studied carbamates can be considered as promising compounds for potential medicinal applications with regard to their inhibitory activity as well as negligible cytotoxicity.

- The synergistic effect of copper chromite spinel nanoparticles (CuCr2O4) and basic ionic liquid on the synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids
-
Abstract: An efficient synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids using copper chromite spinel nanoparticles and basic ionic liquid is described. In this study, a relatively simple method starting with trans-cinnamic acid for the synthesis of (±)-trans-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a key intermediate in the synthesis of tranylcypromine sulfate as an active pharmaceutical ingredient, was employed. Using a combination of basic ionic liquid [Bmim]OH and copper chromite spinel nanoparticles as a catalytic system, the best results were obtained in THF as a polar solvent. This method is a useful alternative to other approaches described in the literature. The use of commercially available chemicals, decreased environmental hazards, with no need for the separation of stereoisomers, and consequently a reduced number of overall steps, are the advantages of this approach that make it an appropriate choice at an increased scale.

- Silver-promoted, palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of cyclopropanes: Facile access to spiro 3,3′-cyclopropyl oxindoles
-
The Pd-catalyzed, Ag(I)-mediated intramolecular direct arylation of cyclopropane C-H bonds is described. Various spiro 3,3′-cyclopropyl oxindoles can be obtained in good to excellent yields from easily accessible 2-bromoanilides. The kinetic isotope effect was determined and epimerization studies were conducted, suggesting that the formation of a putative Pd-enolate is not operative and that the reaction proceeds via a C-H arylation pathway.

- Novel trans-2-aryl-cyclopropylamine analogues as potent and selective dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors
-
A series of trans-2-aryl-cyclopropylamine derived compounds were synthesized and evaluated their biological activities against DPP-IV. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) led to the discovery of novel series of DPP-IV inhibitors, having IC50 values of 100 nM with excellent selectivity over the closely related enzymes, DPP8, DPP-II and FAP. The studies identified a potent and selective DPP-IV inhibitor 24b, which exhibited the ability to both significantly inhibit plasma DPP-IV activity in rats and improve glucose tolerance in lean mice and diet induced obese mice.

- The first cyclopropanation reaction of unmasked α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids: Direct and complete stereospecific synthesis of cyclopropanecarboxylic acids promoted by Sm/CHl3
-
Equation Presented A samarium-promoted cyclopropanation of unmasked α,β-unsaturated acids is described. This reaction can be carried out on (E)- or (Z)α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. In all cases the process is completely stereospecific and stereoselective. A mechanism has been proposed to explain the cyclopropanation reaction.

- Novel selective inhibitors of neutral endopeptidase for the treatment of female sexual arousal disorder
-
A series of substituted glutaramides were synthesised using Candoxatrilat 1 as a lead and evaluated for potency against neutral endopeptidase (NEP) as a potential treatment for female sexual arousal disorder (FSAD). In this paper, we describe studies in which we were able to increase NEP activity substantially over the levels reported for previous compounds from this programme by appropriate substitution in both the P1′ and P2′ regions. Optimisation led to the 4-chlorophenpropylamide S-30 which was selected as a candidate for further study.

Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of 4-(2-aryl-cyclopropylamino)-quinoline-3-carbonitrile derivatives as EGFR inhibitors is described. Compounds 29 and 30 showed potent in vitro inhibitory activity in the enzymatic assay as well as in the functional cellular assay. They are moderately selective against other types of tyrosine kinases.

- Exploring distal regions of the A3 adenosine receptor binding site: Sterically constrained N6-(2-phenylethyl)adenosine derivatives as potent ligands
-
We synthesized phenyl ring-substituted analogues of N6-(1S,2R)- (2-phenyl-1-cyclopropyl)adenosine, which is highly potent in binding to the human A3AR with a Ki value of 0.63nM. The effects of these structural changes on affinity at human and rat adenosine receptors and on intrinsic efficacy at the hA3AR were measured. A 3-nitrophenyl analogue was resolved chromatographically into pure diastereomers, which displayed 10-fold stereoselectivity in A3AR binding in favor of the 1S,2R isomer. A molecular model defined a hydrophobic region (Phe168) in the putative A3AR binding site around the phenyl moiety. A heteroaromatic group (3-thienyl) could substitute for the phenyl moiety with retention of high affinity of A3AR binding. Other related N6-substituted adenosine derivatives were included for comparison. Although the N 6-(2-phenyl-1-cyclopropyl) derivatives were full A3AR agonists, several other derivatives had greatly reduced efficacy. N 6-Cyclopropyladenosine was an A3AR antagonist, and adding either one or two phenyl rings at the 2-position of the cyclopropyl moiety restored efficacy. N6-(2,2-Diphenylethyl)adenosine was an A 3AR antagonist, and either adding a bond between the two phenyl rings (N6-9-fluorenylmethyl) or shortening the ethyl moiety (N 6-diphenylmethyl) restored efficacy. A QSAR study of the N 6 region provided a model that was complementary to the putative A3AR binding site in a rhodopsin-based homology model. Thus, a new series of high-affinity A3AR agonists and related nucleoside antagonists was explored through both empirical and theoretical approaches.

- A novel approach to enantiopure cyclopropane compounds from biotransformation of nitriles
-
Rhodococcus sp. AJ270, a powerful and versatile nitrile hydratase/amidase containing microbial whole-cell system, catalyzed the enantioselective hydrolysis of both racemic trans- and cis-2-arylcyclopropanecarbonitriles to afford the corresponding amides and acids with enantiomeric excesses as high as >99%. The reaction rate and enantioselectivity observed for both nitrile hydratase and amidase were also strongly dependent upon the nature of the substituent and substitution pattern on the benzene ring of the substrates. The application of and the advantages of biotransformation of nitriles were demonstrated by preparing (1S,2R)-2-phenylcyclopropylamine and (1R,2R)-2-phenylcyclopropylmethylamine through facile and straightforward chemical manipulations of (1S,2S)-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and (1R,2R)-2-phenylcyclopropanecarboxamide, respectively.
