- Phenylquinoline transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 antagonists for the treatment of pain: Discovery of 1-(2-phenylquinoline-4-carbonyl)-N-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)pyrrolidine-3-carboxamide
-
Reported herein is the design, synthesis, and pharmacologic characterization of a class of TRPV1 antagonists constructed on a phenylquinoline platform that evolved from Cinchophen lead. This design composes three sections: a phenylquinoline headgroup attached to an aliphatic carboxamides, which is tethered at a phenyl tail group. Optimization of this design led to the identification of 37, comprising a pyrrolidine linker and a trifluoromethyl–phenyl tail. In the TRPV1 functional assay, using cells expressed hTRPV1, 37 antagonized capsaicin-induced Ca2+ influx, with an IC50 value of 10.2 nM. In the complete mice analgesic model, 37 exhibited better antinociceptive activity than the positive control BCTC in diverse pain models. All of these results suggested that 37 could be considered as a lead candidate for the further development of antinociceptive drugs.

- New β-alanine derivatives are orally available glucagon receptor antagonists
-
A weak human glucagon receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 7 μM was initially found by screening of libraries originally targeted to mimic the binding of the glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) hormone to its receptor. Optimization of this hit for binding affinity for the glucagon receptor led to ligands with affinity in the nanomolar range. In addition to receptor binding, optimization efforts were made to stabilize the molecules against fast metabolic turnover. A potent antagonist of the human human glucagon receptor was obtained that had 17% oral availability in rats with a plasma half-life of 90 min. The major metabolites of this lead were identified and used to further optimize this series with respect to pharmacokinetic properties. This final optimization led to a potent glucagon antagonist that was orally available in rats and dogs and was efficacious in lowering blood glucose levels in a diabetic animal model.

- Comparison of base-promoted and self-catalyzed conditions in the synthesis of isocyanates from amines using triphosgene
-
Comparison of base-promoted and self-catalyzed conditions for the synthesis of isocyanates from amines and triphosgene shows no advantage in using an amine base in the majority of cases. The workup and isolation of the product is simplified under base-free conditions. Yields of between 50 and 90% after distillation were common. Only acid-sensitive substrates need a base catalyst.

- Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships of Insecticidal Pyrazolines
-
Methyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-methyl-1--2-pyrazoline-4-carboxylates and related compounds were prepared. Their convulsant activity was determined as the minimum dose required to bring about the symptom within 1 h after injection against male adult American cockroaches, Periplaneta americana (L.). Insecticidal activity with metabolic inhibitors for oxidation and hydrolysis was measured 24 h after injection of the test compounds. Variations in each of the activities were analysed by using physicochemical substituent parameters and regression analysis. The findings indicated that the greater the hydrophobicity and the more the electron-withdrawing property of the substituents, the higher were the activities. Variations in each of the two activities were parabolically related to the STERIMOL width parameter with an optimum value of about zero.

- Synthesis of isocyanates from nitroalkanes
-
A process for the preparation of aromatic isocyanates from nitroalkanes. A nitromethyl aromatic compound of the general formula: STR1 wherein R and R1 represent hydrogen, halogen, a C1 -C5 alkyl radical, a C1 -C4 alkoxy radical, nitro, isocyanato, an alkoxycarbonylamino, or nitromethyl radical, with R and R1 being the same or different, is heated in the presence of an effective amount of a Lewis acid or Bronsted acid substance to effect a dehydrogenation-isomerization reaction to yield an aromatic isocyanate of the general formula: STR2 The product of the reaction may be recovered as the aromatic isocyanate or the alcohol adduct, a carbamate.
