NOVEL BENZAMIDE DERIVATIVE AND USE THEREOF
-
, (2014/10/16)
Disclosed are a novel benzamide derivative and pharmaceutical use thereof, and more particularly, a novel benzamide derivative having a structure of Formula 1 or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and a composition for prevention or treatment of pain or itching including the above material. The novel benzamide derivative and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof according to the present invention exhibit excellent pain-suppressive effect and, in particular, pain-suppressive effect in not only a neuropathic animal model but also other models such as a formalin model, and therefore, may be used in suppression of different pains such as nociceptive pain, chronic pain, etc. Further, since it was demonstrated that the present invention displays anti-pruritic efficacy even in an itching model, to which a mechanism and treatment concept established with respect to pain is applied, the present invention may also be effectively used in radical treatment of atopic dermatitis by applying the inventive product to an anti-pruritic composition in order to suppress an initial itching stage and treat symptoms thereof, thus preventing skin damage or inflammation after the scratching stage.

Novel tea catechin derivatives have been synthesized, and a structure-activity study, related to the capacity of these and other polyphenols to bind dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), has been performed. The data showed an effective binding between all molecules and the free enzyme, and the dissociation constants of the synthetic compounds and of the natural analogues were on the same order. Polyphenols with a catechin configuration were better DHFR inhibitors than those with an epicatechin configuration. Antiproliferative activity was also studied in cultured tumour cells, and the data showed that the activity of the novel derivatives was higher in catechin isomers. Derivatives with a hydroxyl group para on the ester-bonded gallate moiety presented a high in vitro binding to DHFR, but exhibited transport problems in cell culture due to ionization at physiologic pHs. The impact of the binding of catechins to serum albumin on their biological activity was also evaluated. The information provided in this study could be important for the design of novel medicinal active compounds derived from tea catechins. The data suggest that changes in their structure to avoid serum albumin interactions and to facilitate plasmatic membrane transport are essential for the intracellular functions of catechins.

The dienone protostephanone (3) is synthesised by phenol coupling or by Pschorr cyclisation from readily prepared tetrahydroisoquinolines, and the corresponding dienols (17) and (18) are converted by rearrangement, fragmentation, and reduction into protostephanine (4).This sequence mimics the natural pathway to the alkaloid.
