- Synthesis of Novel Aryloxyethylamine Derivatives and Evaluation of Their in Vitro and in Vivo Neuroprotective Activities
-
A series of aryloxyethylamine derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity. Their structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FT-IR and HR-ESI-MS. The preliminary screening of neuroprotection of compounds in vitro was detected by MTT, and the anti-ischemic activity in vivo was tested using bilateral common carotid artery occlusion in mice. Most of these compounds showed potential neuroprotective effects against the glutamate-induced cell death in differentiated rat pheochromocytoma cells (PC12 cells), especially for (4-fluorophenyl){1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}methanone, {1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone, (4-bromophenyl){1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}methanone, {1-[2-(4-chlorophenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-chlorophenyl)methanone, (4-chlorophenyl)(1-{2-[(naphthalen-2-yl)oxy]ethyl}piperidin-4-yl)methanone, (4-chlorophenyl){1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}methanone and {1-[2-(4-bromophenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-chlorophenyl)methanone, which exhibited potent protection of PC12 cells at three doses (0.1, 1.0, 10 μM). Compounds (4-fluorophenyl){1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}methanone, (4-fluorophenyl){1-[2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}methanone, {1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone and {1-[2-(4-chlorophenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-chlorophenyl)methanone possessed the significant prolongation of the survival time of mice subjected to acute cerebral ischemia and decreased the mortality rate at all five doses tested (200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 mg/kg) and had significant neuroprotective activity. In addition, (4-fluorophenyl){1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}methanone, {1-[2-(4-methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-methoxyphenyl)methanone and {1-[2-(4-chlorophenoxy)ethyl]piperidin-4-yl}(4-chlorophenyl)methanone possessed outstanding neuroprotection in vitro and in vivo. These compounds can be used as a promising neuroprotective agents for future development of new anti-ischemic stroke agents. Basic structure–activity relationships are also presented.

- Optimization of a Benzoylpiperidine Class Identifies a Highly Potent and Selective Reversible Monoacylglycerol Lipase (MAGL) Inhibitor
-
Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is the enzyme degrading the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and it is involved in several physiological and pathological processes. The therapeutic potential of MAGL is linked to several diseases, including cancer. The development of MAGL inhibitors has been greatly limited by the side effects associated with the prolonged MAGL inactivation. Importantly, it could be preferable to use reversible MAGL inhibitors in vivo, but nowadays only few reversible compounds have been developed. In the present study, structural optimization of a previously developed class of MAGL inhibitors led to the identification of compound 23, which proved to be a very potent reversible MAGL inhibitor (IC50 = 80 nM), selective for MAGL over the other main components of the endocannabinoid system, endowed of a promising antiproliferative activity in a series of cancer cell lines and able to block MAGL both in cell-based as well as in vivo assays.

- Syntheses and Binding Studies of New [(Aryl)(aryloxy)methyl]piperidine Derivatives and Related Compounds as Potential Antidepressant Drugs with High Affinity for Serotonin (5-HT) and Norepinephrine (NE) Transporters
-
In a wide search program toward new, efficient, and fast-acting antidepressant drugs, we have prepared series of new compounds having an (aryl)(aryloxy)methyl moiety linked directly or through a methylene chain to different substituted and unsubstituted cycles (isoquinoline, piperazine, piperidine, tetrahydropyran, or cyclopentane). These compounds have been evaluated for their affinities for serotonin (5-HT) transporter (SERT) and 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A receptors. Racemic mixtures of 4-[(aryl)(aryloxy)methyl]piperidine derivatives showed much higher affinity values for SERT than fluoxetine and resulted in lack of affinity for 5-HT 1A and 5-HT2A receptors. Some of these racemic mixtures were resolved to their enantiomers and tested for binding to norepinephrine (NE) transporter (NET), dopamine (DA) transporter (DAT), and α2 receptor. Several of these enantiomers [(-)-15b, (-)-15j, (-)-15t, (+)-15u] displayed a dual binding profile with affinities for SERT and NET with K i i = 1.9 and 13.5 nM, respectively), and further pharmacological characterization is in progress for its evaluation as a antidepressant.
