- Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships of novel tetracyclic compounds as peripheral benzodiazepine receptor ligands
-
The peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) is pharmacologically distinct from the central benzodiazepine receptor (CBR) and has been identified in a wide range of peripheral tissues as well as in the central nervous system. Although numerous studies have been performed of it, the physiological roles and functions of the PBR are still unclear. In the present study, in exploring new types of ligands for PBR, we found that a new series of compounds having a tetracyclic ring system, which were designed from FGIN-1-27, exhibited high affinities for PBR. We prepared and evaluated them for PBR affinities. The results of binding tests showed that 12e and 12f were the most potent PBR ligands among them (12e: IC50=0.44nM, 12f: IC50=0.37nM). In this paper, we present the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationships (SARs) of novel tetracyclic compounds.

- A versatile synthesis of 2-substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones
-
A mild and general strategy for the synthesis of 2-substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones is described. The seven-membered lactam is prepared by intramolecular amide bond formation from the intermediate amino acid, which is obtained e
