Pyridinecarboxamide derivatives

, (2008/06/13)
Pyridinecarboxamide derivatives of the formula STR1 (wherein n represents an integer of 14-18, and R represents a hydrogen atom or a straight or branched C1 -C4 alkyl group) or physiologically acceptable salts thereof. The compounds have excellent inhibiting activity of cerebral edema, especially ischemic cerebral edema, and inhibiting activity of delayed death of neuronal cells (an inhibiting activity of Ca-influx in neuronal cells). Cerebral edema is a pathologic condition accompanying cerebrovascular disorders, especially the acute stage of cerebrovascular disorders and then the compounds are useful as an agent for inhibiting cerebral edema or a therapeutic agent for cerebrovascular disorders. Moreover, the compounds have no hypotensive action which is considered to be side-effect in treating the acute stage cerebrovascular disorders and hardly show a behavior suppressing action so that they are an excellent therapeutic agent for, in particular, the acute stage cerebrovascular disorders. Moreover, the compounds show a cerebral protective activity (an anti-anoxic activity), an increasing activity of cerebral blood flow, and an inhibiting activity of lipid peroxidation and these activities may lead to the increased utility as a therapeutic agent for cerebrovascular disorders.
Ruthenium catalyzed reactions of ethylene glycol with primary amines: steric factors and selectivity control
Marsella, John A.

The selectivity of reactions of ethylene glycol with primary amines in the presence of RuCl2(PPh3)3 at 120 deg C is highly dependent on the steric nature of the amine.Selectivity to di-amination is favored by smaller alkyl groups on the amine while large amines cleanly yield ethanolamines.This contrasts with the results obtained with secondary amines at this temperature, in which ruthenium-triphenylphosphine catalyst systems always favor mono-amination.In the case of sec-butyl amine, where almost equal amounts of mono- and di-aminated product are obtained, the selecti vity can be shifted to mono-amination by the addition of excess triphenylphosphine.The steric effects seen in these reactions are consistent with standard steric parameters availble from the literature.
