- Tandem synthesis of amides and secondary amines from esters with primary amines under solvent-free conditions
-
An iridium(III)-catalyzed tandem synthesis of amides and amines from esters under solvent-free conditions is described. A commercially available iridium(III) complex, [Cp*IrCl2]2, with sodium acetate showed the best activity for the synthesis of amides and secondary amines. The amide was formed by ester-amide exchange which generates an alcohol in situ which is subsequently transformed to a secondary amine via hydrogen autotransfer. This synthetic protocol with high atom economy generates water as the sole by-product and can afford amides and amines from various esters in a one-pot reaction, expanding the synthetic versatility of ester transformations.

- Structure-activity relationships for substrates and inhibitors of pineal 5-hydroxytryptamine-N-acetyltransferase: Preliminary studies
-
Tryptamine, (1-naphthyl)ethylamine and phenethylamine derivatives were tested as substrates of ovine pineal serotonin-N-acetyl transferase (5-HT-NAT), a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of melatonin. Almost all of the indole derivatives possessed affinity similar to that of tryptamine (K(m) - 0.05 mM), while the substituted naphthalene and phenyl derivatives were less potent. However, the K, values seem be influenced by the steric hindrance and polar properties of the substituent. V(max) values for the naphthyl and phenyl derivatives were generally 10-20-fold higher than those of the indole derivatives and no clear structure-activity relationship was observed. Melatonin and several bioisoteric derivatives were shown to be inhibitors of 5-HT-N-acetyltransferase. Preliminary data suggested that over the 5-50-μM concentration range, melatonin was a competitive inhibitor (IC50 = 10 μM) with a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on its own synthesis in the pineal gland. However, the bioisosteric naphthalene derivatives were characterized instead as mixed inhibitors. (1-Napthyl)ethylacetamido, a putative melatoninergic antagonist, was also shown to be an inhibitor of 5-HT-N-acetyltransferase (IC50 = 8 μM) and is a promising tool for the regulation of melatonin synthesis and the understanding of its role.

- Design and Synthesis of New Naphthalenic Derivatives as Ligands for 2-Iodomelatonin Binding Sites
-
New melatonin-like agents were designed from the frameworks of 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, an important structural moiety for the 5-HT receptor, and (2-methoxynaphthyl)ethylamine.The compounds were synthesized by classical methods and evaluated in binding assays with chicken brain membranes using 2-(125I>iodomelatonin as the radioligand.Preliminary studies on the series of N-acyl-disubstituted phenethylamines showed the favorable role of the methoxy group in the ortho position of the side chain on the affinity for the receptor ( Ki = 8 +/- 0.2 nM ) for N-propionamide (3o).This effect was confirmed in a series of the naphthalene derivatives, a bioisosteric moiety of the indole ring, and several potent ligands for melatonin binding sites were prepared such as N-propionamide (4b) ( Ki = 0.67 +/- 0.05 nM ) and N-cyclopropylformamide (Ki = 0.05 +/- 0.004 nM ( (4k).Structure-activity relationships are discussed with regard to melatonin and bioisosteric naphthalenic compound 2.The Ki value for 4b was affected to a similar extent to that of melatonin by GTP-γ-S or Mn2+ in competition experiments, suggesting an agonist profile for this compound.
