- Synthesis and characterization of nitrogen-rich macrocyclic ligands and an investigation of their coordination chemistry with lanthanum(III)
-
Derivatives of the ligand 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (cyclen) containing pendant N-heterocyclic donors were prepared. The heterocycles pyridine, pyridazine, pyrimidine, and pyrazine were conjugated to cyclen to give 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Lpy), 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(3-pyridazylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Lpyd), 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(4-pyrimidylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Lpyr), and 1,4,7,10-tetrakis(2-pyrazinylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Lpz), respectively. The coordination chemistry of these ligands was explored using the La3+ ion. Accordingly, complexes of the general formula [La(L)(OTf)](OTf)2, where OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate and L = Lpy (1), Lpyd (2), Lpyr (3), and Lpz (4), were synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. Crystal structures of 1 and 2 were also determined by X-ray diffraction studies, which revealed 9-coordinate capped, twisted square-antiprismatic coordination geometries for the central La3+ ion. The conformational dynamics of 1-4 in solution were investigated by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. Dynamic line-shape and Eyring analyses enabled the determination of the activation parameters for the interconversion of enantiomeric forms of the complexes. Unexpectedly, the different pendant N-heterocycles of 1-4 give rise to varying values for the enthalpies and entropies of activation for this process. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to investigate the mechanism of this enantiomeric interconversion. Computed activation parameters were consistent with those experimentally determined for 1 but differed somewhat from those of 2-4.

- Bispidine platform grants full control over magnetic state of ferrous chelates in water
-
A bicyclic ligand platform for iron(II), which allows total control over the complex's magnetic properties in aqueous solution simply by varying one of the six coordination sites of the bispidine ligand, is reported. To achieve this, an efficient synthetic route to an N5 bispidine framework (ligand L4) that features an unsubstituted N-7 site is established. Then, by choosing appropriate N-7-coordinating substituents, the spin state of choice can be imposed on the corresponding ferrous complexes under environmentally relevant conditions in water and near-room temperature. Importantly, the first low-spin and diamagnetic iron(II) chelates in the bispidine series, both in the solid state and in aqueous solution, are reported. The eradication of head-on steric clashes between pendent coordinating arms is at the origin of this success. A new pair of constitutionally similar ferrous coordination compounds of a multidentate ligand system is obtained, which exhibits a distinctly binary (off-on) magnetic relationship. The new synthetic intermediate L4 may be substituted in just one step by any desired pendent arm, thus allowing access to complexes with finely tuned magnetic properties. All under control: Structural variation of bispidines allows for the preparation of ferrous complexes that adopt magnetic properties of choice under environmentally benign conditions in water at room temperature. Pairs of constitutionally similar, robust chelates with a binary off-on magnetic relationship are obtained (see figure). Copyright

- Discovery of functionally selective 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,10-ethano-1,2,4- triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazines as GABAA receptor agonists at the α3 subunit
-
We have previously identified the 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-7,10-ethano-1,2,4- triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine (1) as a potent partial agonist for the 0.3 receptor subtype with 5-fold selectivity in binding affinity over α1. This paper describes a detailed investigation of the substituents on this core structure at both the 3- and 6-positions. Despite evaluating a wide range of groups, the maximum selectivity that could be achieved in terms of affinity for the α3 subtype over the α1 subtype was 12-fold (for 57). Although most analogues showed no selectivity in terms of efficacy, some did show partial agonism at α1 and antagonism at α3 (e.g., 25 and 75). However, two analogues tested (93 and 96), both with triazole substituents in the 6-position, showed significantly higher efficacy for the α3 subtype over the α1 subtype. This was the first indication that selectivity in efficacy in the required direction could be achieved in this series.

- 3-Phenyl-6-(2-pyridyl)methyloxy-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazines and Analogues: High-Affinity γ-Aminobutyric Acid-A Benzodiazepine Receptor Ligands with α2, α3, and α5-Subtype Binding Selectivity over α1
-
Studies with our screening lead 5 and the literature compound 6 led to the identification of 6-benzyloxy-3-(4-methoxy)phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-a]phthalazine 8 as a ligand with binding selectivity for the γ-aminobutyric acid-A (GABA-A) α3- and α5-containing receptor subtypes over the GABA-A α1 subtype (Ki: α2 = 850 nM, α3 = 170 nM, α5 = 72 nM, α1 = 1400 nM). Early optimization studies identified the close analogue 10 (Ki: α2 = 16 nM, α3 = 41 nM, α5 = 38 nM, α1 = 280 nM) as a suitable lead for further study. High-affinity ligands were identified by replacing the 6-benzyloxy group of compound 10 with 2-pyridylmethoxy (compound 29), but binding selectivity was not enhanced (K i: α2 = 1.7 nM, α3 = 0.71 nM, α5 = 0.33 nM, α1 = 2.7 nM). Furthermore, on evaluation in xenopus oocytes, 29 was discovered to be a weak to moderate inverse agonist at all four receptor subtypes α1, -7%; α2, -5%; α3, -16%; α5, -5%). Replacement of the 3-phenyl group of 29 with alternatives led to reduced affinity, and smaller 3-substituents led to reduced efficacy. Methyl substitution of the benzo-fused ring of 29 at the 7-, 8-, and 10-positions resulted in increased efficacy although selectivity was abolished. Increased efficacy and retention of selectivity for α3 over α1 was achieved with the 7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-(7,10-ethano)-phthalazine 62. Compound 62 is currently one of the most binding selective GABA-A α3-benzodiazepine-site partial agonists known, and although its selectivity is limited, its good pharmacokinetic profile in the rat (33% oral bioavailability after a 3 mg/kg dose, reaching a peak plasma concentration of 179 ng/mL; half-life of 1 h) made it a useful pharmacological tool to explore the effect of a GABA-A α2/α3 agonist in vivo.
