- Discovery of Aromatic Carbamates that Confer Neuroprotective Activity by Enhancing Autophagy and Inducing the Anti-Apoptotic Protein B-Cell Lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)
-
Neurodegenerative diseases share certain pathophysiological hallmarks that represent common targets for drug discovery. In particular, dysfunction of proteostasis and the resultant apoptotic death of neurons represent common pathways for pharmacological intervention. A library of aromatic carbamate derivatives based on the clinically available drug flupirtine was synthesized to determine a structure-activity relationship for neuroprotective activity. Several derivatives were identified that possess greater protective effect in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons, protecting up to 80% of neurons against etoposide-induced apoptosis at concentrations as low as 100 nM. The developed aromatic carbamates possess physicochemical properties desirable for CNS therapeutics. The primary known mechanisms of action of the parent scaffold are not responsible for the observed neuroprotective activity. Herein, we demonstrate that neuroprotective aromatic carbamates function to increase the Bcl-2/Bax ratio to an antiapoptotic state and activate autophagy through induction of beclin 1.

- PROCESS AND INTERMEDIATES FOR THE PREPARATION OF RETIGABINE
-
A method for the preparation of retigabine starting with intermediate III is disclosed, comprising the step of protecting the secondary amine of III with a protecting group followed by N-ethoxycarbonylation of the primary amino group of the product obtained. The preparation of retigabine is completed by steps comprising removal of the protecting group and reduction of the nitro group to amino, which can be performed in any order or simultaneously. Novel intermediates usable with said method are also described.
