- PROCESS FOR PRODUCING 3-ETHYL-1-ADAMANTYLAMINE
-
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an industrially economical and efficient synthetic method of 3-ethyl-1-adamantylamine, which does not include a synthetic process of 1-bromo-3-ethyladamantane which uses harmful halogen and which, in a synthetic reaction of 1-amide-3-ethyladamantane, suppresses by-products and improves a yield by reducing amounts of use of an amide or an acid and a nitrile relative to adamantanes, and also remarkably reduces wastes derived from the amide or the acid and the nitrile. SOLUTION: A method for producing 3-ethyl-1-adamantylamine comprises the following steps (i) to (iii): (i) a step of obtaining a reaction mixture by reacting 3-ethyl-1-adamantanol with an acid and a nitrile in an organic solvent; (ii) a step of obtaining 1-amide-3-ethyladamantane by adding water to the reaction mixture obtained in the step (i); and (iii) a step of hydrolyzing 1-amide-3-ethyladamantane obtained in the step (ii) in the presence of an alcohol-containing solvent and an inorganic base.

- Novel treatment for alzheimer's disease
-
The present invention concerns a new pharmaceutical composition comprising an antagonist and a co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate-type glutamate receptor (NMDAR). The inventors found that the co-administration of these two compounds effectively inhibits production of amyloide-β peptide. In patient's suffering from Alzheimer's disease, these peptides are deposited in the extracellular matrix forming neuritic "plaques". Therefore, the present inventors identified a new possibility for prophylaxis and/or treatment of Alzheimer's disease by stopping the continued formation of neuropathological extracellular deposits.

- Structure-Anti-Parkinson Activity Relationships in the Aminoadamantanes. Influence of Bridgehead Substitution
-
A limited series of bridgehead alkyl-, dialkyl- and trialkyl-substituted amantadines was synthesized and tested for potential anti-Parkinson activity as dopamine (DA) agonists.The compounds were evaluated using a battery of three murine bioassays, including stimulation of locomotor activity, induction of circling in animals with unilateral striatal lesions, and reversal of reserpine/α-methyltyrosine induced akinesia.Apparent mechanistic differences were seen between the methyl-substituted series and the ethyl-substituted series.While activities in both series increase with increasing liphophilicity, the methyl series (1b-d), as well as amantadine itself (1a) exhibits only indirect DA agonist activity, as evidenced by ipsilateral rotation in the circling model and no significant difference from control in reversal of akinesia.The ethyl series (1e,f) exhibits weak but reprodicible direct DA agonist activity, as shown by contralateral rotation in the circling assay for 1e and reversal of akinesia by 1e and 1f.The 3-n-propyl derivative (1g) was devoid of any DA agonist activity.
