- Synthesis of piperidinyl and pyrrolidinyl butyrates for potential in vivo measurement of cerebral butyrylcholinesterase activity
-
Biochemical changes in postmortem brains of Alzheimer's disease patients include decreased acetylcholinesterase and choline acetyl transferase activity, indicating reduced activity of the central cholinergic system, while butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) activity increases. A method that can measure regional BChE activity in the brain in vivo may be useful for investigating the relationship between BChE and Alzheimer's disease. Seven compounds, either piperidinyl or pyrrolidinyl butyrates, were synthesized as BChE substrate radiotracers to map central BChE activity in vivo by positron emission tomography (PET). 14C-labeled compounds were assayed to determine their hydrolysis rates by BChE and the partition coefficient. The five esters of secondary alcohols had lipophilic properties sufficient to pass readily through the blood-brain barrier while the metabolites were sufficiently hydrophilic to be retained in the brain. The esters showed moderate hydrolysis rates by BChE and high specificity for BChE relative to acetylcholinesterase, while two esters of primary alcohols were hydrolyzed too rapidly to estimate reliably the local cerebral BChE activity. From these results, we conclude that one or more of these five esters, when labeled with 11C, would be a useful tracer for quantification of BChE activity by PET.

- Selection of microbial biocatalysts for the reduction of cyclic and heterocyclic ketones
-
The reduction of carbonyl compounds plays an important role in the synthesis of complex chiral molecules. In particular, enantiopure substituted cyclic and heterocyclic compounds are useful intermediates for the synthesis of several antiviral, antitumor, and antibiotic agents, and recently, they have also been used as organocatalysts for C-C addition. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are enzymes involved in the transformation of prochiral ketones to chiral hydroxyl compounds. While significant scientific effort has been paid to the use of aliphatic and exocyclic ketones as ADH substrates, reports on (hetero)cyclic carbonyl compounds as substrates of these enzymes are scarce. In the present study, 109 bacteria and 36 fungi were screened, resulting in 10 organisms belonging to both kingdoms capable of transforming cyclic and heterocyclic ketones into the corresponding alcohols. Among them, Erwinia chrysanthemi could quantitatively reduce cyclododecanone and Geotrichum candidum could stereoselectively reduce N-Boc-3-piperidone and N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinone to their corresponding (S)-alcohols; however, the anti-Prelog isomer was obtained when acetophenone was the substrate.

- Enantioselective reduction of heterocyclic ketones with low level of asymmetry using carrots
-
A whole spectrum of biocatalysts for asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones is well known including the Daucus carota root. However, this type of reaction is still challenging when pro-chiral ketones present low level of asymmetry, like heterocyclic ketones. In this work, 4,5-dihydro-3(2H)-thiophenone (1), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran-3-one (2), N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinone (3), 1-Z-3-pyrrolidinone (4) and 1-benzyl-3-pyrrolidinone (5) were studied in order to obtain the respective enantioselective heterocyclic secondary alcohols. Except for 5, the corresponding alcohols were obtained in high values of conversion and with high selectivity. In order to circumvent the low isolated yield of the corresponding chiral alcohol from 2, we observed that the use of carrots in the absence of water is feasible. Addition of co-solvents was needed to the water-insoluble ketones 3 and 4. Comparatively, baker’s yeast was used for bio reductions of 1, 3 and 4. And in terms of conversion, selectivity and work-up, the use of carrots were a more efficient biocatalyst, as well as a viable method for obtaining 5-member heterocyclic secondary alcohols.

- Methodology Development in Directed Evolution: Exploring Options when Applying Triple-Code Saturation Mutagenesis
-
Directed evolution of stereo- or regioselective enzymes as catalysts in asymmetric transformations is of particular interest in organic synthesis. Upon evolving these biocatalysts, screening is the bottleneck. To beat the numbers problem most effectively, methods and strategies for building “small but smart” mutant libraries have been developed. Herein, we compared two different strategies regarding the application of triple-code saturation mutagenesis (TCSM) at multiresidue sites of the Thermoanaerobacter brockii alcohol dehydrogenase by using distinct reduced amino-acid alphabets. By using the synthetically difficult-to-reduce prochiral ketone tetrahydrofuran-3-one as a substrate, highly R- and S-selective variants were obtained (92–99 % ee) with minimal screening. The origin of stereoselectivity was provided by molecular dynamics analyses, which is discussed in terms of the Bürgi–Dunitz trajectory.

-
Recent post hoc analyses of several clinical trials with P2Y12 antagonists showed the need for new molecules being fully efficacious as antiplatelet agents and having a reduced propensity to cause major bleeding. We have previously reported the discovery of the 2-phenylpyrimidine-4-carboxamide analogs as P2Y12 antagonists with nanomolar potency in the disease-relevant platelet aggregation assay in human plasma. Herein we present the optimization steps that led to the discovery of clinical candidate ACT-246475 (30d). The key step was the replacement of the carboxylic acid functionality by a phosphonic acid group which delivered the most potent molecules of the program. In addition, low in vivo clearance in rat and dog was achieved for the first time. Since the bioavailability of 30d was low in rat and dog, we developed the bis((isopropoxycarbonyl)oxy)methyl ester prodrug (ACT-281959, 45). Compound 30d showed efficacy in the rat ferric chloride thrombosis model when administered intravenously as parent or orally as its prodrug 45. Moreover, 30d displays a wider therapeutic window as compared to clopidogrel in the rat surgical blood loss model.

- Fluorine-containing 6,7-dialkoxybiaryl-based inhibitors for phosphodiesterase 10 A: Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of inhibitory potency, selectivity, and metabolism
-
Based on the potent phosphodiesterase 10 A (PDE10A) inhibitor PQ-10, we synthesized 32 derivatives to determine relationships between their molecular structure and binding properties. Their roles as potential positron emission tomography (PET) ligands were evaluated, as well as their inhibitory potency toward PDE10A and other PDEs, and their metabolic stability was determined in vitro. According to our findings, halo-alkyl substituents at position 2 of the quinazoline moiety and/or halo-alkyloxy substituents at positions 6 or 7 affect not only the compounds′ affinity, but also their selectivity toward PDE10A. As a result of substituting the methoxy group for a monofluoroethoxy or difluoroethoxy group at position 6 of the quinazoline ring, the selectivity for PDE10A over PDE3A increased. The same result was obtained by 6,7-difluoride substitution on the quinoxaline moiety. Finally, fluorinated compounds (R)-7-(fluoromethoxy)-6-methoxy-4-(3-(quinoxaline-2-yloxy)pyrrolidine-1-yl) quinazoline (16 a), 19 a-d, (R)-tert-butyl-3-(6-fluoroquinoxalin-2-yloxy) pyrrolidine-1-carboxylate (29), and 35 (IC50 PDE10A 11-65 nM) showed the highest inhibitory potential. Further, fluoroethoxy substitution at position 7 of the quinazoline ring improved metabolic stability over that of the lead structure PQ-10. Fluor your health: Phosphodiesterase 10 A (PDE10A) has emerged as an attractive target for the development of 18F-labelled brain imaging agents for positron emission tomography. A series of fluorinated dialkoxybiaryl compounds were synthesized and evaluated as PDE10A inhibitors, assisted by QSAR docking studies. The 7-fluoromethoxy derivative appears to be a promising candidate for further development.

- Design, synthesis, and antileukemic activity of stereochemically defined constrained analogues of FTY720 (Gilenya)
-
FTY720 functions as an immunosuppressant due to its effect on sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors. At doses well above those needed for immunosuppression, FTY720 also has antineoplastic actions. Our published work suggests that at least some of FTY720's anticancer activity is independent of its effects on S1P receptors and due instead to its ability to induce nutrient transporter down-regulation. Compounds that trigger nutrient transporter loss but lack FTY720's S1P receptor-related, dose-limiting toxicity have the potential to be effective and selective antitumor agents. In this study, a series of enantiomerically pure and stereochemically diverse O-substituted benzyl ethers of pyrrolidines was generated and tested for the ability to kill human leukemia cells. The stereochemistry of the hydroxymethyl was found to be a key determinant of compound activity. Moreover, phosphorylation of this group was not required for antileukemic activity.

- Novel analogues of istaroxime, a potent inhibitor of Na+,K +-ATPase: Synthesis and structure-activity relationship
-
We report the synthesis and biological properties of novel inhibitors of the Na+,K+-ATPase as positive inotropic compounds. Following our previously described model from which Istaroxime was generated, the 5α,14α-androstane skeleton was used as a scaffold to study the space around the basic chain of our lead compound. Some compounds demonstrated higher potencies than Istaroxime on the receptor and the (E)-3-[(R)-3- pyrrolidinyl]oxime derivative, 15, was the most potent; as further confirmation of our model, the E isomers of the oxime are more potent than the Z form. The compounds tested in the guinea pig model induced positive inotropic effects, which are correlated to the in vitro inhibitory potency on the Na +,K+-ATPase. The finding that all tested compounds resulted less proarrhythmogenic than digoxin, a currently clinically used positive inotropic agent, suggests that this could be a feature of the 3-aminoalkyloxime derivative class of 5α,14α-androstane.

- Synthesis of racemic and enantiomeric 3-pyrrolidinyl derivatives of nucleobases
-
The synthesis of novel 3-pyrrolidinyl derivatives of nucleobases is described. Starting from malic acid, we improved the synthesis of both racemic and optically active N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine-2,5-diones, which were transformed in four steps into N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-mesyloxypyrrolidines, the key synthons for the alkylation of purine and pyrimidine nucleobases. Alkylations of cesium salts of purines and sodium salts of pyrimidines with N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-mesyloxypyrrolidines proceeded smoothly, giving high yields of 9-substituted purine derivatives and moderate yields of 1-substituted pyrimidine derivatives. Using (S)-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-mesyloxypyrrolidine as the same intermediate for the synthesis of both enantiomeric N-Boc-3-pyrrolidinyladenines, and considering the results obtained on chiral HPLC analysis of the products, we proved that nucleophilic displacement of the mesyloxy group proceeded with inversion and not with retention of the configuration. Prepared compounds were tested for cytostatic and antiviral properties, but no significant activity was found.

PCT No. PCT/GB97/01137 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 14, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 14, 1998 PCT Filed Apr. 24, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/42189 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 13, 1997A class of compounds of formula (I) wherein Z, E, Q, T, U, V, W, M, R1, R7 and R8 are as defined herein; are selective agonists of 5-HT1-like receptors, being potent agonists of the human 5-HT1D alpha receptor subtype whilst possessing at least a 10-fold selective affinity for the 5-HT1D alpha receptor subtype relative to the 5-HT1D beta subtype; they are therefore useful in the treatment and/or prevention of clinical conditions, in particular migraine and associated disorders, for which a subtype-selective agonist of 5-HT1D receptors is indicated, whilst eliciting fewer side-effects, notably adverse cardiovascular events, than those associated with non-subtype-selective 5-HT1D receptor agonists.

- Synthesis of (3R)-carboxy pyrrolidine (a β-proline analogue) and its oligomer
-
A decamer of a β-amino acid analogue of L-proline, (3R)-carboxy pyrrolidine (β-proline), was synthesized from a readily available (R)-glycidol. It was found to possess a rigid secondary structure, as evidenced by its CD spectrum. The β-proline decamer, however, failed to bind to profilin, whereas the corresponding α-L-proline decamer bound tightly to this protein. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

- Synthesis and serotonergic activity of 3-[2-(pyrrolidin-1- yl)ethyl]indoles: Potent agonists for the h5-HT(1D) receptor with high selectivity over the h5-HT(1B) receptor
-
The design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of 3- [2-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)ethyl]-indoles with excellent selectivity for h5-HT(1D) (formerly 5-HT(1Dα)) receptors over h5-HT(1B) (formerly 5-HT(1Dβ)) receptors are described. Clinically effective antimigraine drugs such as Sumatriptan show little selectivity between h5-HT(1D) and h5-HT(1B) receptors. The differential expression of h5-HT(1D) and h5-HT(1B) receptors in neural and vascular tissue prompted an investigation of whether a compound selective for the h5-HT(1D) subtype would have the same clinical efficacy but with reduced side effects. The pyrrolidine 3b was initially identified as having 9-fold selectivity for h5-HT(1D) over h5-HT(1B) receptors. Substitution of the pyrrolidine ring of 3b with methylbenzylamine groups gave compounds with nanomolar affinity for the h5-HT(1D) receptor and 100-fold selectivity with respect to h5-HT(1B) receptors. Modification of the indole 5-substituent led to the oxazolidinones 24a,b with up to 163-fold selectivity for the h5-HT(1D) subtype and improved selectivity over other serotonin receptors. The compounds were shown to be full agonists by measurement of agonist-induced [35S]GTPγS binding in CHO cells expressed with h5-HT receptors. This study suggests that the h5-HT(1D) and h5-HT(1B) receptors can be differentiated by appropriate substitution of the ligand in the region which binds to the aspartate residue and reveals a large binding pocket in the h5-HT(1D) receptor domain which is absent for the h5-HT(1B) receptor. The compounds described herein will be important tools to delineate the role of h5-HT(1D) receptors in migraine.

- Asymmetric synthesis of 1-Boc-3- and 4-hydroxypyrrolidines
-
Lewis Acid-mediated coupling reactions of (5R, 6S)-2-acetoxy-4- (benzyloxycarbonyl)-5,6-diphenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-4H-1,4-oxazine (2a) with allylsilanes (3a-d) proceeded to give the coupling products (4a-b) with moderate to good stereoselectivity. The coupling products (4a-b) were effectively converted into 1-Boc-3- and 4-hydroxypyrrolidines (8a, syn-b, and c).

- Preparative and structural chemistry of chiral 3-(diphenylphosphanyl)pyrrolidines and their palladium(II) complexes
-
The preparation of both enantiomers of 3-diphenylphosphanylpyrrolidine (2) and several N-substituted derivatives together with two Pd complexes of this ligand is reported. From L-malic acid and L-hydroxyproline both enantiomers of 3-hydroxypyrrolidine are prepared without any problems due to epimerization. KPPh2 in the presence of LiCl is shown to be the most effective reagent for the synthesis of 2. The reported X-ray structure determinations of PdI2 complexes show a rather rigid bicyclic hetero-norbornane skeleton. The flexibility of the other parts of the molecules is obvious in several polymorphs revealed by this method. This polymorphism is additionally investigated by a 31P-CP-MAS study. From solution 'H-, 13C- and 31P-NMR studies it is concluded that the bicyclic hetero-norbornane skeleton is retained in solution. VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH.
