- Chemistry and pharmacological characterization of novel nitrogen analogues of AMOP-H-OH (sazetidine-A, 6-[5-(azetidin-2-ylmethoxy)pyridin-3-yl]hex-5-yn-1- ol) as α4β2-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-selective partial agonists
-
In order to advance therapeutic applications of nicotinic ligands, continuing research efforts are being directed toward the identification and characterization of novel nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) ligands that are both potent and subtype selective. Herein we report the synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of members of a new series of 3-alkoxy-5- aminopyridine derivatives that display good selectivity for the α4β2-nAChR subtype based on ligand binding and functional evaluations. The most potent ligand in this series, compound 64, showed high radioligand binding affinity and selectivity for rat α4β2-nAChR with a Ki value of 1.2 nM and 4700-fold selectivity for α4β2- over α3β4-nAChR, and ~100-fold selectivity for functional, high-sensitivity, human α4β2-nAChR over α3β4*-nAChR. In the mouse forced swim test, compound 64 exhibited antidepressant-like effects. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analyses suggest that the introduction of additional substituents to the amino group present on the pyridine ring of the N-demethylated analogue of compound 17 can provide potent α4β2-nAChR-selective ligands for possible use in treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders including depression.

- LABELED ALPHA-4-BETA-2 LIGANDS AND METHODS THEREFOR
-
Contemplated compositions and methods are employed to bind in vitro and in vivo to an α4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in a highly selective manner. Where such compounds are labeled, compositions and methods employing such compounds can be used for PET and SPECT analysis. Alternatively, and/or additionally contemplated compounds can be used as antagonists, partial agonists or agonists in the treatment of diseases or conditions associated with α4β?2 dysfunction.

- Discovery of trans-3,4′-bispyridinylethylenes as potent and novel inhibitors of protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) for the treatment of cancer: Synthesis and biological evaluation
-
A novel series of Akt/PKB inhibitors derived from a screening lead (1) has been prepared. The novel trans-3,4′-bispyridinylethylenes described herein are potent inhibitors of Akt/PKB with IC50 values in the low double-digit nanomolar range against Akt1. Compound 2q shows excellent selectivity against distinct families of kinases such as tyrosine kinases and CAMK, and displays poor to modest selectivity against closely related kinases in the AGC and CMGC families. The cellular activities including inhibition of cell growth and phosphorylation of downstream target GSK3 are also described. The X-ray structure of compound 2q complexed with PKA in the ATP binding site was determined.
