- α-PPP and its derivatives are selective partial releasers at the human norepinephrine transporter: A pharmacological characterization of interactions between pyrrolidinopropiophenones and uptake1 and uptake2 monoamine transporters
-
While classical cathinones, such as methcathinone, have been shown to be monoamine releasing agents at human monoamine transporters, the subgroup of α-pyrrolidinophenones has thus far solely been characterized as monoamine transporter reuptake inhibitors. Herein, we report data from previously undescribed α-pyrrolidinopropiophenone (α-PPP) derivatives and compare them with the pharmacologically well-researched α-PVP (α-pyrrolidinovalerophenone). Radiotracer-based in vitro uptake inhibition assays in HEK293 cells show that the investigated α-PPP derivatives inhibit the human high-affinity transporters of dopamine (hDAT) and norepinephrine (hNET) in the low micromolar range, with α-PVP being ten times more potent. Similar to α-PVP, no relevant pharmacological activity was found at the human serotonin transporter (hSERT). Unexpectedly, radiotracer-based in vitro release assays reveal α-PPP, MDPPP and 3Br-PPP, but not α-PVP, to be partial releasing agents at hNET (EC50 values in the low micromolar range). Furthermore, uptake inhibition assays at low-affinity monoamine transporters, i.e., the human organic cation transporters (hOCT) 1–3 and human plasma membrane monoamine transporter (hPMAT), bring to light that all compounds inhibit hOCT1 and 2 (IC50 values in the low micromolar range) while less potently interacting with hPMAT and hOCT3. In conclusion, this study describes (i) three new hybrid compounds that efficaciously block hDAT while being partial releasers at hNET, and (ii) highlights the interactions of α-PPP-derivatives with low-affinity monoamine transporters, giving impetus to further studies investigating the interaction of drugs of abuse with OCT1-3 and PMAT.

- Enantioselective and Diastereoselective Construction of Chiral Amino Alcohols by Iridium-f-Amphox-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation via Dynamic Kinetic Resolution
-
The iridium-f-amphox-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of racemic α-amino β-unfunctionalized ketones proceeds via a DKR (dynamic kinetic resolution) process for the construction of various chiral N,N-disubstituted α-amino β-unfunctionalized alcohols in quantitative yields with excellent enantioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (all products >99% ee and >99:1 dr, TON up to 100 000). Importantly, this catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation with a DKR process provided a highly efficient and powerful synthetic strategy for the preparation of key chiral intermediates of the preclinical antitumor agent (S,S)-R116010.

- Preparation method of (1R,2S)-1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidyl)-1-propanol
-
The invention discloses a preparation method of (1R,2S)-1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidyl)-1-propanol. According to the preparation method, DL-1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidyl)-1-acetone is taken as a starting material and subjected to resolution, racemization and reduction, and (1R,2S)-1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidyl)-1-propanol is prepared. The yield of one-time resolution is higher than 35%, a resolving agent is easy to recover, and the recovery rate is higher than 90%; the racemization process is performed under the slightly alkaline condition, and the racemization yield is higher; the yield of (1R,2S)-1-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidyl)-1-propanol obtained through reduction is higher than 85%. The preparation method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, stable process, high product optical purity, low cost, high production safety and the like.

- N-Bromosuccinimide promoted and base switchable one pot synthesis of α-imido and α-amino ketones from styrenes
-
An N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) promoted one pot strategy for the synthesis of α-amino functionalized aryl ketones starting from commercially available styrenes has been developed. NBS participates in multiple tasks, such as bromonium ion formation, oxidation of bromohydrin and providing a nucleophilic nitrogen source. The reaction can easily be switched between α-imido and α-amino ketones by the choice of base. This one pot strategy was successfully applied for the synthesis of psychoactive drug candidates, amfepramone, mephedrone and 4-MEC.

- Isolation and structural determination of non-racemic tertiary cathinone derivatives
-
The racemic tertiary cathinones N,N-dimethylcathinone (1), N,N-diethylcathinone (2) and 2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-propiophenone (3) have been prepared in reasonable yield and characterized using NMR and mass spectroscopy. HPLC indicates that these compounds are isolated as the anticipated racemic mixture. These can then be co-crystallized with (+)-O,O′-di-p-toluoyl-d-tartaric, (+)-O,O′-dibenzoyl-d-tartaric and (-)-O,O′-dibenzoyl-l-tartaric acids giving the single enantiomers S and R respectively of 1, 2 and 3, in the presence of sodium hydroxide through a dynamic kinetic resolution. X-ray structural determination confirmed the enantioselectivity. The free amines could be obtained following basification and extraction. In methanol these are reasonably stable for the period of several hours, and their identity was confirmed by HPLC and CD spectroscopy.

- A versatile and one-pot strategy to synthesize ?±-amino ketones from benzylic secondary alcohols using N -bromosuccinimide
-
A metal-free one-pot strategy has been developed for the first time to synthesize pharmaceutically important ?±-amino ketones from readily available benzylic secondary alcohols and amines using N-bromosuccinimide. This new reaction proceeds via three consecutive steps involving oxidation of alcohols, ?±-bromination of ketones, and nucleophilic substitution of ?±-bromo ketones to give ?±-amino ketones. Importantly, this novel one-pot greener reaction avoids direct usage of toxic and corrosive bromine. This methodology has been employed efficiently to synthesize pharmaceutically important amfepramone and pyrovalerone in a single step.

- The Rabe amination after a century: Direct addition of N-heterocycles to carbonyl compounds
-
A catalytic version of the Rabe electrophilic amination is presented. This kind of reaction was originally employed in 1918 in a key step for the conversion of quinotoxine to quinine. Ketones and α-substituted aldehydes give the corresponding α-aminated carbonyl compounds in moderate yield. α,α-Unsubstituted aldehydes give rise to amino ketones via a novel rearrangement.
