- Rational design of cannabinoid type-1 receptor allosteric modulators: Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 hybrids
-
Allosteric modulation offers an alternate approach to target the cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1) for therapeutic benefits. Examination of the two widely studied prototypic CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 revealed structural resemblance and similar structure–activity relationships (SARs). In silico docking and dynamics simulation studies using the crystal structure of CB1 co-bound with CP55,940 and Org27569 suggested that Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 occupied the same binding pocket and several common interactions were present in both series with the CB1 receptor. A new scaffold was therefore designed by merging the key structural features from the two series and the hybrids retained these binding features in the in silico docking studies. In addition, one such hybrid displayed similar functions to Org27569 in dynamic simulations by preserving a key R2143.50-D3386.30 salt bridge and maintaining an antagonist-like Helix3-Helix6 interhelical distance. Based on these results, a series of hybrids were synthesized and assessed in calcium mobilization, [35S]GTPγS binding and cAMP assays. Several compounds displayed comparable potencies to Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 in these assays. This work offers new insight of the SAR requirement at the allosteric site of the CB1 receptor and provides a new scaffold that can be optimized for the development of future CB1 allosteric modulators.

- Photocatalyzed synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas via the oxidative decarboxylation of oxamic acids with PANI-g-C3N4-TiO2 composite under visible light
-
The synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas via the photocatalyzed oxidative decarboxylation of oxamic acids has been developed. The carbamoyl radicals were generated from oxamic acids in the presence of a hypervalent iodine reagent and the PANI(Polyaniline)-g-C3N4-TiO2 composite under visible light irradiation. The radicals were converted in situ into the corresponding isocyanates, which were then trapped by amines to afford the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. This protocol avoided the direct use of environmentally unfriendly isocyanates and a series of substrates were tolerated. Moreover, the photocatalyst could be readily recovered by simple filtration and be reused for several runs with only a slight decrease in the catalytic activity.

- Hydroamination of isocyanates and isothiocyanates by alkaline earth metal initiators supported by a bulky iminopyrrolyl ligand
-
A series of new heteroleptic alkaline earth (Ae) metal complexes of general formula [{(Ph2CHN-CH)2C4H2N}AeI(THF)3] {Ae = Ca (2), Sr (3), and Ba (4)} were synthesizedviasalt metathesis by reacting potassium salt of ligand1-K[{(Ph2CHN-CH)2C4H2N}K(THF)2] with anhydrous alkaline earth metal diiodides (AeI2). The homoleptic calcium and barium complexes [{(Ph2CHN-CH)2C4H2N}2Ae] [Ae = Ca (5), Ba (6)] were prepared by treating metal bis-hexamethyldisilazide [Ae{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)2] with the protic ligand1-H[(Ph2CH-N-CH)2C4H2NH] in a 1:2 molar ratio. Calcium complex5was used as an active pre-catalyst for the addition of N-H bond of arylamines across the heterocumulenes such as phenylisocyanate (PhNCO) and phenylisothiocyanate (PhNCS) under neat conditions, and up to 99% yields of the corresponding urea and thiourea derivatives were obtained.

- CaI2-Catalyzed direct transformation of: N -Alloc-, N -Troc-, and N -Cbz-protected amines to asymmetrical ureas
-
A novel and facile CaI2-catalyzed direct synthesis of asymmetrical ureas from N-Alloc-, N-Troc-, and N-Cbz-protected amines is developed. In this study, the efficient reaction of Alloc-, Troc-, and Cbz-carbamates with amines in the presence of catalytic CaI2 successfully generated various asymmetrical ureas. This catalytic synthetic procedure provided the desired ureas via reactions of these protected aromatic and aliphatic amines with various amines in high yields without side products. This suggests that novel direct synthesis of ureas from Alloc-, Troc-, and Cbz-carbamates can be a promising approach for the synthesis of useful ureas.

- Pd/C-Catalyzed Domino Synthesis of Urea Derivatives Using Chloroform as the Carbon Monoxide Source in Water
-
A Pd/C-catalyzed domino synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical ureas from aryl iodides, sodium azide, amines and CHCl3 in water has been developed. This reaction proceeds with sequential carbonylation, Curtius rearrangement and nucleophilic addition. CHCl3 serves as a convenient and safe alternation of CO gas in the presence of KOH. A series of urea derivatives were obtained in moderate to good yields with good functional group tolerance. Furthermore, the Pd/C catalyst could be readily recovered with slight decrease in the catalytic activity after six consecutive runs. (Figure presented.).

- Facile direct synthesis of unsymmetrical ureas from N-Alloc-, N-Cbz-, and N-Boc-protected amines using DABAL-Me3
-
A practical synthetic method for the direct synthesis of unsymmetrically substituted ureas from N-Alloc-, N-Cbz-, and N-Boc-protected amines is described. In this study, efficient direct conversion of the Alloc-, Cbz-, and Boc-carbamate compounds to ureas was achieved in the presence of DABAL-Me3, an air stable and easily handled reagent. Using this reaction method, both protected aromatic and aliphatic amines were successfully transformed into various trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted ureas with high yields without side product. Our findings offer promising guidelines for direct preparation of useful ureas from N-Alloc-, N-Cbz-, and N-Boc-carbamates.

- A synthetic N, N '-di-substituted ureas method
-
The invention discloses a method for synthesizing N,N'-disubstituent urea. The method comprises the following steps: adding N-substituent urea, a metal iridium, rhodium or ruthenium complex catalyst, an alkali, a compound alcohol and a solvent (or no solvent) to a reaction container; reacting at 90-130 DEG C for a plurality of hours and cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature; carrying out rotary evaporation to remove the solvent, and then separating through a column, so as to obtain a target compound. Compared with the prior art, N,N'-disubstituent urea which is obtained by regional selective alkylation reaction between commercial or easily synthesized N-substituent urea and the alcohol reflects and displays three significant advantages: 1) the alcohol which is nearly non-toxic is utilized as an alkylating reagent; 2) just water is generated as a by-product in the reaction, and harm to environment is not generated; 3) reaction atom economy is high. Therefore, the reaction accords with the requirements of green chemistry, and has a broad development prospect.

- 3-D QSAR analysis of inhibition of murine soluble epoxide hydrolase (MsEH) by benzoylureas, arylureas, and their analogues
-
Two hundred and seventy-one compounds including benzoylureas, arylureas and related compounds were assayed using recombinant murine soluble epoxide hydrolase (MsEH) produced from a baculovirus expression system. Among all the insect growth regulators assayed, 18 benzoylphenylurea congeners showed weak activity against MsEH. Newly synthesized cyclohexylphenylurea, 1-benzyl-3-phenylurea, and 1,3-dibenzylurea analogues were rather potent. The introduction of a methyl group at the para-position of the phenyl ring of cyclohexylphenylurea enhanced the activity 6-fold, though similar substituent effects were not seen for any of the benzoylphenylureas. The activities of these compounds, including several previously reported compounds, such as dicyclohexylurea, diphenylurea, and their related analogues (Morisseau et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 1999, 96, 8849), were quantitatively analyzed using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA), a three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3-D QSAR) method. Both steric and electrostatic factors contributing to variations in the activity were visualized using CoMFA. CoMFA results showed that one side of the cyclohexylurea moiety having a trans-amide conformation (A-ring moiety) is surrounded by large sterically unfavorable fields, while the other side of A-ring moiety and the other cyclohexyl group (B-ring moiety) is encompassed by sterically favored fields. Electrostatically negative fields were scattered around the entire molecule, and a positive field surrounds the carbon of the carbonyl group. Hydrophobic fields were visualized using Kellogg's hydropathic interaction (HINT) in conjunction with CoMFA. Hydrophobically favorable fields appeared beside the 4- and 4'-carbon atoms of the cyclohexyl groups, and hydrophobically unfavorable fields surrounded the urea bridge. The addition of the molecular hydrophobicity, it> /it>, to CoMFA did not improve the correlation significantly. The ligand-binding interactions shown by X-ray crystallographic data were rationalized using the results of the CoMFA and HINT analyses, and the essential physicochemical parameters for the design of new MsEH inhibitors were disclosed.
