- Palladium-Catalyzed Regiodivergent Substitution of Propargylic Carbonates
-
The palladium(0)-catalyzed, ligand-controlled, regioselective addition of diaryl acetonitrile pronucleophiles to propargylic carbonates is reported. Selective formation of either terminal 1,3-dienyl or propargylated products is proposed to arise from a change in reaction mechanism controlled by the denticity of the coordinating ligand.

- Zn(OTf)2 - Catalyzed direct cyanation of benzylic alcohols - A novel synthesis of α-aryl nitriles
-
This work demonstrates an efficient method to prepare α-aryl nitriles by direct cyanation of benzylic alcohol with TMSCN in the presence of a catalytic amount of Zn(OTf)2 under heating condition. A variety of benzylic alcohols can be converted into the corresponding α-aryl nitriles in good to excellent yields. 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of A novel class of dithiocarbamic acid esters as anticancer agent
-
Based on a novel lead compound 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioic acid 3-cyano-3,3-diphenylpropyl ester 1, the systematic structural modification was carried out. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in-vitro anticancer activities on four to six different cell lines at three different concentrations. Most of the tested compounds could selectively inhibit the growth of HL-60 and Bel-7402 cell lines at a medium concentration. Four compounds (3f, 3g, 3n, and 5) were selected for the IC50 test, and the results revealed that three compounds (3g, 3n, and 5) showed almost the same or a slightly weaker activity than compound 1 against HL-60, and three compounds (3f, 3g, and 3n) showed >2-fold higher potency than compound 1 against Bel-7402. The in-vivo efficacy of 3n · HCl was evaluated with transplanted hepatocyte carcinoma 22 as an in-vivo test model. It was found that 3n · HCl could inhibit significantly the growth of tumor, and that this effect was dose-dependent. Meanwhile, the compound 3n · HCl showed low toxicity compared with compound 1 · HCl as evidenced by the little body-weight loss. These results confirmed that compound 3n · HCl is more potent than the lead compound 1 · HCl. Preliminary structure-activity relationships indicated that: a) Both nitrile group and the cyclic amine containing at least two nitrogens were indispensable moieties to keep the activity; b) substitution of the piperazine ring is unfavorable for the improvement of activity; c) the suitable linker joining the piperazinyl dithiocarboxyl and diphenylacetonitril group should be ethylene; d) a non-coplanar arrangement of the two benzene rings appears to be essential for activity. Based on a novel lead compound 4-methyl-piperazine-1-carbodithioic acid 3-cyano-3,3-diphenyl-propyl ester 1, the systematic structural modification was carried out. Compounds 3g and 3n were found to show more potent biological activities than lead compound 1. Some useful SARs were revealed Copyright

- Potential modes of interaction of 9-aminomethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene (AMDA) derivatives with the 5-HT2A receptor: A ligand structure-affinity relationship, receptor mutagenesis and receptor modeling investigation
-
The effects of 3-position substitution of 9-aminomethy 1-9,10- dihydroanthracene (AMDA) on 5-HT2A receptor affinity were determined and compared to a parallel series of DOB-like 1-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2- aminopropanes substituted at the 4-position. The results were interpreted within the context of 5-HT2A receptor models that suggest that members of the DOB-like series can bind to the receptor in two distinct modes that correlate with the compounds' functional activity. Automated ligand docking and molecular dynamics suggest that all of the AMDA derivatives, the parent of which is a 5-HT2A antagonist, bind in a fashion analogous to that for the sterically demanding antagonist DOB-like compounds. The failure of the F340 6.52L mutation to adversely affect the affinity of AMDA and the 3-bromo derivative is consistent with the proposed modes of orientation. Evaluation of ligand-receptor complex models suggest that a valine/threonine exchange between the 5-HT2A and D2 receptors may be the origin of selectivity for AMDA and two substituted derivatives.

- Histamine H1 receptor ligands - Part II. Synthesis and in vitro pharmacology of 2-[2-(phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl]ethanamine and 2-(2-benzhydrylthiazol-4-yl)ethanamine derivatives
-
New 2-[2-(phenylamino)thiazol-4-yl]ethanamine and 2-(2-benzhydrylthiazol-4-yl)ethanamine derivatives were prepared and tested in vitro as H1 receptor antagonists. The compounds with 2-phenylamino substitution with meta-halide substituents at the phenyl ring, showed weak H1-antagonistic activity (pA2: 4.62-5.04) and this activity was completely lost in the case of meta-methyl substituent (pA2 : 4). When the phenylamino group was replaced by benzhydryl groups of classic antihistamines, the resulting compounds exhibited slightly improved H1-antagonistic activity (at the meta-position pA2: 6.38-6.15; at the para-position pA2: 6.04-5.87).

- Phenyl-substituted normethadones: Synthesis and pharmacology
-
Phenyl-substituted normethadone derivatives were synthesized and their affinity (IC50) for opioid receptors was determined by displacement of the specific binding sites of [3H]sufentanyl on rat brain preparations. Substitution resulted in a decrease of affinity in-vitro. These results suggest that normethadone-like compounds may interact with the P subsite of the μ-opioid receptor and that the P subsite has a well-defined cavity shape of stringent dimensions.
