Pharmacological management remains the primary method to treat epilepsy and neuropathic pain. We have advanced a novel class of anticonvulsants termed functionalized amino acids (FAAs). In this study, we examine FAA derivatives from which the terminal acetyl moiety was removed and termed these compounds primary amino acid derivatives (PAADs). Twenty-seven PAADs were prepared; the central C(2) R-substituent was varied, including C(2) stereochemistry, and the compounds were tested in rodent models of seizures and neuropathic pain. C(2)-Hydrocarbon N-benzylamide PAADs were potent anticonvulsants and excellent anticonvulsant activity (mice, ip; rat, po) was observed for C(2) R-substituted PAADs in which the R group was ethyl, isopropyl, or tert-butyl, and the C(2) stereochemistry conformed to the d-amino acid configuration ((R)-stereoisomer). These values surpassed the activities of several clinical antiepileptic drugs. The C(2) (R)-ethyl and C(2) (R)-isopropyl PAADs also displayed excellent activities in the mouse (ip) formalin neuropathic pain model. Significantly, unlike the FAA structure-activity relationship, PAAD anticonvulsant activity increased upon substitution of a methylene unit for a heteroatom in the R-substituent that was one atom removed from the C(2) site, suggesting that these PAADs function by a different pathway than FAAs.

A series of C2-symmetric boron-bridged bis(imidazolines) was obtained by lithiation of 2-imidazolines and subsequent reaction with dialkyl- or diarylhaloboranes. The corresponding 2-imidazolines were prepared by an efficient four-step sequence starting from N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-protected α-amino acids. C2-Symmetric methylenebis(imidazolines) were readily synthesized from chiral diamines by condensation with diethyl malonimidate. The bis(imidazolines) were used as ligands in the enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrene and allylic oxidation of cyclic alkenes. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
