- N-HYDROXYAMIDE DERIVATIVES POSSESSING ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY
-
Novel N-hydroxyamide derivatives are disclosed. These N-hydroxyamide derivatives inhibit UPD-3O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase, an enzyme present in gram negative bacteria and are therefore useful as antimicrobials and antibiotics. Methods of synthesis and of use of the compounds are also disclosed.

- PROCESS FOR PRODUCING OPTICALLY ACTIVE AZETIDINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACIDS
-
An optically active N-protected azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (5) can be produced by preparing an optically active 4-amino-2-halobutyric acid (3), ???by halogenating an optically active 3-hydroxy-2-pyrrolidinone (1) with inversion of configuration to prepare an optically active 3-halo-2-pyrrolidinone (2) followed by hydrolysis or, ???by halogenating an optically active 4-amino-2-hydroxybutyric acid ester (6) with inversion of configuration to prepare an optically active 4-amino-2-halobutyric acid ester (7) followed by hydrolysis or, ???by halogenating the compound (6) with inversion of configuration to prepare the compound (7), cyclizing the same to prepare the compound (2) followed by hydrolysis,???further cyclizing the compound (3) followed by treating the reaction product with an amino group-protecting agent.The optical purity of the thus-obtained compound (5) can be improved further by recrystallization.

- Identification and initial structure-activity relationships of (R)-5- (2-azetidinylmethoxy)-2-chloropyridine (ABT-594), a potent, orally active, non-opiate analgesic agent acting via neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
-
New members of a previously reported series of 3-pyridyl ether compounds are disclosed as novel, potent analgesic agents acting through neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Both (R)-2-chloro-5-(2- azetidinylmethoxy)pyridine (ABT-594, 5) and its S-enantiomer (4) show potent analgesic activity in the mouse hot-plate assay following either intraperitoneal (ip) or oral (po) administration, as well as activity in the mouse abdominal constriction (writhing) assay, a model of persistent pain. Compared to the S-enantiomer and to the prototypical potent nicotinic analgesic agent (±)-epibatidine, 5 shows diminished activity in models of peripheral side effects. Structure-activity studies of analogues related to 4 and 5 suggest that the N-unsubstituted azetidine moiety and the 2-chloro substituent on the pyridine ring are important contributors to potent analgesic activity.
