- (+)-Methyl (1 R, 2S)-2-{[4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]methyl}-1-phenylcyclopropanecarboxylate [(+)-MR200] derivatives as potent and selective sigma receptor ligands: Stereochemistry and pharmacological properties
-
Methoxycarbonyl-1-phenyl-2-cyclopropylmethyl based derivatives cis-(+)-1a [cis-(+)-MR200], cis-(-)-1a [cis-(-)-MR201], and trans-(±)-1a [trans-(±)-MR204], have been identified as new potent sigma (σ) receptor ligands. In the present paper, novel enantiomerically pure analogues were synthesized and optimized for their σ receptor affinity and selectivity. Docking studies rationalized the results obtained in the radioligand binding assay. Absolute stereochemistry was unequivocally established by X-ray analysis of precursor trans-(+)-5a as camphorsulfonyl derivative 9. The most promising compound, trans-(+)-1d, showed remarkable selectivity over a panel of more than 15 receptors as well as good chemical and enzymatic stability in human plasma. An in vivo evaluation evidenced that trans-(+)-1d, in contrast to trans-(-)-1d, cis-(+)-1d, or cis-(-)-1d, which behave as σ1 antagonists, exhibited a σ1 agonist profile. These data clearly demonstrated that compound trans-(+)-1d, due to its σ1 agonist activity and favorable receptor selectivity and stability, provided an useful tool for the study of σ1 receptors.

- PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF (1S,2R)-MILNACIPRAN
-
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of Levomilnacipran, a compound useful in the treatment of depression, comprising the following steps: a) directly converting the enantiomerically enriched form of alcohol (D) into the enantiomerically enriched form of the phthalimido derivative (C) by treatment with phthalimide in the presence of a trialkyl or triarylphosphine and of a dialkyl azodicarboxylate, formula (I) wherein the amount of phthalimide is comprised between 1 and 1.3 equivalents with respect to the molar amount of alcohol (D) used, and the amounts of both the phosphine and the azodicarboxylate are comprised, independently from each other, between 1 and 1.5 equivalents with respect to the molar amount of alcohol (D) used; b) deblocking the enantiomerically enriched form of the phthalimido derivative (C) to obtain Levomilnacipran, formula (II).

- Conformational restriction approach to β-Secretase (BACE1) inhibitors: Effect of a cyclopropane ring to induce an alternative binding mode
-
Improvement of a drugs binding activity using the conformational restriction approach with sp3 hybridized carbon is becoming a key strategy in drug discovery. We applied this approach to BACE1 inhibitors and designed four stereoisomeric cyclopropane compounds in which the ethylene linker of a known amidine-type inhibitor 2 was replaced with chiral cyclopropane rings. The synthesis and biologic evaluation of these compounds revealed that the cis-(1S,2R) isomer 6 exhibited the most potent BACE1 inhibitory activity among them. X-ray structure analysis of the complex of 6 and BACE1 revealed that its unique binding mode is due to the apparent CH-π interaction between the rigid cyclopropane ring and the Tyr71 side chain. A derivatization study using 6 as a lead molecule led to the development of highly potent inhibitors in which the structure-activity relationship as well as the binding mode of the compounds clearly differ from those of known amidine-type inhibitors.
