- Use of structure based design to increase selectivity of pyridyl-cinnoline phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors against phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3)
-
We report our successful effort to increase the PDE3 selectivity of PDE10A inhibitor pyridyl cinnoline 1 using a combination of computational modeling and structural-activity relationship investigations. An analysis of the PDE3 catalytic domain compared to the co-crystal structure of cinnoline analog 1 in PDE10A revealed two areas of structural differences in the active sites and suggested areas on the scaffold that could be modified to exploit those unique structural features. Once SAR established the cinnoline as the optimal scaffold, modifications on the methoxy groups of the cinnoline and the methyl group on the pyridine led to the discovery of compounds 33 and 36. Both compounds achieved significant improvement in selectivity against PDE3 while maintaining their PDE10A inhibitory activity and in vivo metabolic stability comparable to 1.

- Regioselective transformation of 6/5-fused bicyclic isoxazolidines to second-generation cyclic aldonitrones
-
The cycloaddition reactions of 4-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)-3,4,5,6- tetrahydropyridine 1-oxide with mono- and di-substituted alkenes have been found to be highly stereo- as well as face-selective. In solution, the 6/5 fused bicyclic cycloadducts remain solely as the cis-fused invertomers in order to accommodate the bulky tertiary substituent 2-hydroxy-2-propyl in the equatorial orientation. The cycloadducts, upon peracid oxidation, leads to the exclusive formation of synthetically important second-generation cyclic aldonitrones. The stereo- and face-selectivity of the cycloaddition reactions of these second-generation nitrones bearing substituents at C(4) and C(6) have been briefly examined. One interesting finding was that treatment of the first generation nitrone i.e., 4-(2-hydroxy-2-propyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine 1-oxide, with mercury(II) oxide afforded a novel bicyclic nitrone, 1-oxa-5,6-dehydro-6-aza-bicyclo[3,2,1]heptane 6-oxide.
