Tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives containing embedded urea functions were identified as selective TRPM8 channel receptor antagonists. Structure-activity relationships were investigated, with the following conclusions: (a) The urea function and the tetrahydroisoquinoline system are necessary for activity. (b) Bis(1-aryl-6,7dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolyl)ureas are more active than compounds containing one tetrahydroisoquinoline ring and than an open phenetylamine ureide. (c) Trans compounds are more active than their cis isomers. (d) Aryl substituents are better than alkyls at the isoquinoline C-1 position. (e) Electron-withdrawing substituents lead to higher activities. The most potent compound is the 4-F derivative, with IC50 in the 10-8 M range and selectivities around 1000:1 for most other TRP receptors. Selected compounds were found to be active in reducing the growth of LNCaP prostate cancer cells. TRPM8 inhibition reduces proliferation in the tumor cells tested but not in nontumor prostate cells, suggesting that the activity against prostate cancer is linked to TRPM8 inhibition.

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder caused by an imbalance between inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmission. It is well known that neuronal excitability is related to γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic depolarization. HCO3?-dependent depolarization can be suppressed by membrane-permeable inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase. We previously identified some isoquinoline sulfonamides as potent and selective inhibitors of the human carbonic anhydrase II and VII (hCA II and hCA VII) isoforms. Given that hCA II and hCA VII are specific isoforms involved in GABA-mediated neuronal excitation, we hypothesized that they could represent the biological target for the development of new anticonvulsant agents. Therefore, for selected isoquinoline sulfonamides, we preliminarily tested their ability to prevent audiogenic seizures in DBA/2 mice. All compounds were evaluated after intraperitoneal administration, and some of them proved to protect the mice against convulsions. Among this series of compounds, several derivatives showed combined in vivo efficacy with inhibitory effects toward the targeted carbonic anhydrases (i.e., hCA II and hCA VII). Specifically, the most interesting molecule was 1-(4-aminophenyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-2(1H)-sulfonamide (6), which proved to be a more active and selective hCA VII inhibitor than the reference compound topiramate. Further studies to explore the in vivo pharmacokinetic profile of the most active compounds may help to provide insight into the future design of selective hCA VII inhibitors.
Bioinspired aerobic oxidation of secondary amines and nitrogen heterocycles with a bifunctional quinone catalyst

Copper amine oxidases are a family of enzymes with quinone cofactors that oxidize primary amines to aldehydes. The native mechanism proceeds via an iminoquinone intermediate that promotes high selectivity for reactions with primary amines, thereby constraining the scope of potential biomimetic synthetic applications. Here we report a novel bioinspired quinone catalyst system consisting of 1,10-phenanthroline-5,6-dione/ZnI2 that bypasses these constraints via an abiological pathway involving a hemiaminal intermediate. Efficient aerobic dehydrogenation of non-native secondary amine substrates, including pharmaceutically relevant nitrogen heterocycles, is demonstrated. The ZnI2 cocatalyst activates the quinone toward amine oxidation and provides a source of iodide, which plays an important redox-mediator role to promote aerobic catalytic turnover. These findings provide a valuable foundation for broader development of aerobic oxidation reactions employing quinone-based catalysts.
