- Dual Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor α4β2 Antagonists/α7 Agonists: Synthesis, Docking Studies, and Pharmacological Evaluation of Tetrahydroisoquinolines and Tetrahydroisoquinolinium Salts
-
We describe the synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinolines and tetrahydroisoquinolinium salts together with their pharmacological properties at various nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In general, the compounds were α4β2 nAChR antagonists, with the tetrahydroisoquinolinium salts being more potent than the parent tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives. The most potent α4β2 antagonist, 6c, exhibited submicromolar binding Ki and functional IC50 values and high selectivity for this receptor over the α4β4 and α3β4 nAChRs. Whereas the (S)-6c enantiomer was essentially inactive at α4β2, (R)-6c was a slightly more potent α4β2 antagonist than the reference β2-nAChR antagonist DHβη. The observation that the α4β2 activity resided exclusively in the (R)-enantiomer was in full agreement with docking studies. Several of tetrahydroisoquinolinium salts also displayed agonist activity at the α7 nAChR. Preliminary in vivo evaluation revealed antidepressant-like effects of both (R)-5c and (R)-6c in the mouse forced swim test, supporting the therapeutic potential of α4β2 nAChR antagonists for this indication.

- Direct Synthesis of Cyclic Imides from Carboxylic Anhydrides and Amines by Nb2O5 as a Water-Tolerant Lewis Acid Catalyst
-
In the 20 types of heterogeneous and homogenous catalysts screened, Nb2O5 showed the highest activity for the synthesis of N-phenylsuccinimide by dehydrative condensation of succinic anhydride and aniline. Nb2O5 was used in the direct imidation of a wide range of carboxylic anhydrides with NH3 or amines with various functional groups and could be reused. Kinetic studies showed that the Lewis acid Nb2O5 catalyst was more water tolerant than both the Lewis acidic oxide TiO2 and the homogeneous Lewis acid ZrCl4, which resulted in higher yields of imides through the use of Nb2O5. Int-imidation tactics: A general method for the direct synthesis of cyclic imides from cyclic anhydrides with amines (or ammonia) under solvent-free conditions is reported. Kinetic studies indicate that the Lewis acid sites of Nb2O5 are highly water tolerant, which results in high catalytic activity for imidation even in the presence of water formed during the reaction. The catalyst can be recovered and reused four times without a marked decrease in yield.

- Versatile and sustainable synthesis of cyclic imides from dicarboxylic acids and amines by Nb2O5 as a base-tolerant heterogeneous lewis acid catalyst
-
Catalytic condensation of dicarboxylics acid and amines without excess amount of activating reagents is the most atom-efficient but unprecedented synthetic method of cyclic imides. Here we present the first general catalytic method, proceeding selectively and efficiently in the presence of a commercial Nb2O5 as a reusable and base-tolerant heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst. The method is effective for the direct synthesis of pharmaceutically or industrially important cyclic imides, such as phensuximide, N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI), and unsubstituted cyclic imides from dicarboxylic acid or anhydrides with amines, hydroxylamine, or ammonia.

- Synthesis of Cyclic Imides by Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling of Diols and Amines Catalyzed by a Manganese Pincer Complex
-
The first example of base-metal-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of diols and amines to form cyclic imides is reported. The reaction is catalyzed by a pincer complex of the earth abundant manganese and forms hydrogen gas as the sole byproduct, making the overall process atom economical and environmentally benign.

- One-Pot Transformation of Aliphatic Carboxylic Acids into N-Alkylsuccin-imides with NIS and NCS/NaI
-
Primary aliphatic carboxylic acids were treated with N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) in 1,2-dichloroethane to form the corresponding alkyl iodides under warming conditions. Based on these results, those aliphatic carboxylic acids were treated with NIS, followed by the reaction with K2CO3to give the corresponding N-alkylsuccinimides in good yields in one pot. Moreover, those aliphatic carboxylic acids were treated with N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) and NaI, followed by the reaction with K2CO3to provide the corresponding N-alkylsuccinimides in good to moderate yields in one pot. By using the present method, successive treatment of primary aliphatic carboxylic acids (10 mmol) with NIS, K2CO3, and then hydrazine provided the corresponding decarboxylated primary amines in good yield.

- Synthesis of condensed tetrahydroisoquinoline class of alkaloids by employing TfOH-mediated imide carbonyl activation
-
Isoquinoline-based polycyclic lactams such as isoindoloisoquinolinones, pyrroloisoquinolinones, and benzo[a]quinolizinones were successfully assembled from the corresponding imides by using a TfOH-mediated (TfOH = trifluoromethanesulfonic acid) imide carbonyl activation and cyclization strategy. By employing this simple method, the isoquinoline alkaloids crispine A, trolline/oleracein E, and erythrinarbine were successfully synthesized in racemic form. The reaction of unsymmetrical N-phenethylphthalimides with TfOH displayed excellent regioselectivity, which was rationalized by DFT calculations.

- Multimetallic iridium-tin (Ir-Sn3) catalyst in N-acyliminium ion chemistry: Synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolinones via intra- and intermolecular amidoalkylation reaction
-
The multimetallic iridium-tritin (Ir-Sn3) complex [Cp*Ir(SnCl3)2{SnCl2(H2O) 2}] (1) proved to be a highly effective catalyst towards C-OH bond activation of γ-hydroxylactams, leading to a nucleophilic substitution reaction known as the α-amidoalkylation reaction. Catalyst 1 can be easily synthesized from the reaction of (pentamethylcyclocyclopentadienyl)iridium dichloride dimer {[Cp*IrCl2]2} and tin(II) dichloride (SnCl2). In terms of catalyst loading, reaction conditions and yields of the product formed, 1 is found to be superior compared to classical Lewis acid catalysts. Different carbon (arenes, heteroarenes, allyltrimethylsilane, 1,3-dicarbonyls) and heteroatom (alcohols, thiols, amides and sulfonamides) nucleophiles have been successfully employed in the intramolecular and intermolecular alkylations, as well as in heterocyclization reactions. In the majority of cases good to excellent yields of 3-substituted isoindolinones and 5-substituted pyrrolidin-2-ones have been obtained. Besides, the reactions are also atom economical and salt free. It is proposed that the multimetallic Ir-Sn3 catalyst behaves as a mild and selective Lewis acid to activate the γ-hydroxylactam towards the formation of the N-acyliminium ion; the latter being trapped by potent nucleophiles leading to the desired products.

- Antifungal, cytotoxic and SAR studies of a series of N-alkyl, N-aryl and N-alkylphenyl-1,4-pyrrolediones and related compounds
-
The synthesis, in vitro evaluation and SAR studies of 67 maleimides and derivatives acting as antifungal agents are reported. A detailed SAR study supported by theoretical calculations led us to determine that: an intact maleimido ring appears to be necessary for a strong antifungal activity, dissimilarly affected by the substituents in positions 2 and 3. The best activities were shown by 2,3-nonsubstituted followed by 2,3 dichloro- and 2-methyl-substituted maleimides. They all were fungicide rather than fungistatic enhancing the importance of their antifungal activity. 2,3-Dimethyl and 2,3-diphenyl-maleimides possessed marginal or null activity. The presence of a flexible connecting chain in N-phenylalkyl maleimides appears not to be essential for antifungal activity, although its length shows a correlation with the antifungal behavior, displaying maleimides with alkyl chains of n = 3 and n = 4 the best antifungal activities in most fungi. Different substituents on the benzene ring did not have a clear influence on the activity. Values of chemical potential properties as well as of energy do not sufficiently discriminate between active and inactive compounds. Nevertheless, it was found that, although log P alone is not strong enough to properly predict the antifungal activity, the comparison of its values for compounds within the same sub-type, showed an enhancement of antifungal activity along with an increment of lipophilicity. In addition, the LUMO's electronic clouds of the highly active compounds showed to be concentrated on the imido ring, indicating that their carbon atoms are potential sites for nucleophilic attack. Same results were obtained from MEPs. Most of the active compounds did not show cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines and no one possessed hemolytic activity, indicating that their activity is selective to pathogenic fungi and that they are not toxic at MIC concentrations.

- Synthesis of cyclic imides from simple diols
-
There's something imide so strong: Cyclic imides were synthesized from simple diols with primary amines in a single step using an in-situ-generated ruthenium catalytic system. The atom-economical and operatively simple syntheses of succinimides, phthalimides, and glutarimides, which are important building blocks in natural products and drugs, was also demonstrated.

- Benzylphthalimides and phenethylphthalimides with thalidomide-like activity on the production of tumor necrosis factor α
-
Benzylphthalimide analogs (P1P's) and phenethylphthalimide analogs (P2P's) have been found to exhibit thalidomide-like activity on the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α by the human leukemia cell line, HL-60, stimulated by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Structure-activity relationships are discussed on the basis of the TNF-α production-enhancing activity. Benzylphthalimide (P1P-00) exhibited activity which is weaker than that of thalidomide, but introduction of a methyl group at the ortho-position of the benzyl moiety (P1P-10) resulted an increase to a level comparable with that of thalidomide. Phenethylphthalimide (P2P-00) is more potent than thalidomide, and its fluorinated derivative, 2-phenethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoro- 1H-isoindole-1,3-dione (FP2P-00), exhibited potent activity at very low concentrations.
