- HETEROARYL SULFONAMIDES AND CCR2
-
Compounds are provided that act as potent antagonists of the CCR2 receptor. Animal testing demonstrates that these compounds are useful for treating inflammation, a hallmark disease for CCR2. The compounds are generally aryl sulfonamide derivatives and are useful in pharmaceutical compositions, methods for the treatment of CCR2-mediated diseases, and as controls in assays for the identification of CCR2 antagonists.

- 5-(N-oxyaza)-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones: Novel, systemically active and broad spectrum antagonists for NMDA/glycine, AMPA, and kainate receptors
-
A group of 5-aza-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones (QXs) and the corresponding 5-(N. oxyaza)-7-substituted QXs were prepared and evaluated as antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors. The in vitro potency of these QXs was determined by inhibition of [3H]-5,7- dichlorokynurenic acid ([3H]DCKA) binding to N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)/glycine receptors, [3H]-(S)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4- isoxazolepropionic acid ([3H]AMPA) binding to AMPA receptors, and [3H]kainate ([3H]KA) binding to KA receptors in rat brain membranes. 5-(N- Oxyaza)-QXs 12a-e all have low micromolar or submicromolar potency for NMDA/glycine receptors and low micromolar potencies for AMPA and KA receptors. QXs 12a-e display 2-12-fold selectivity for NMDA/glycine receptors compared to AMPA receptors, and ~2-fold difference between AMPA and KA potency. In contrast to other QXs that either show high selectivity for NMDA (such as ACEA 1021) or AMPA (such as NBQX) receptors, these molecules are broad spectrum antagonists of ionotropic glutamate receptors. 7-Nitro-5-(N- axyaza)-QX (12e) is the most potent inhibitor among 12a-e, having IC50 values of 0.69, 1.3, and 2.4 μM at NMDA, AMPA, and KA receptors, respectively. In functional assays on glutamate receptors expressed in oocytes by rat cerebral cortex poly(A+) RNA, 7-chloro-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12a) and 7-nitro-5(N-oxyaza)-QX (12e) have K(b) values of 0.63 and 0.31 μM for NMDA/glycine receptors, and are 6- and 4-fold selective for NMDA over AMPA receptors, respectively. 5-(N-Oxyaza)-7-substituted-QXs 12a-e all have surprisingly high in vivo potency as anticonvulsants in a mouse maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) model. 7-Chloro-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12a), 7- bromo-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12b), and 7-methyl-5-(N-oxyaza)-QX (12c) have ED50 values of 0.82, 0.87, and 0.97 mg/kg iv, respectively. The high in vivo potency of QXs 12a-e is particularly surprising given their low log P values (~ -2.7). Separate studies indicate that QXs 12a and 12e are also active in vive as neuroprotectants and also have antinociceptive activity in animal pain models. In terms of in vivo activity, these 5-(N-oxyaza)-7-substituted- QXs are among the most potent broad spectrum ionotropic glutamate antagonists reported.

- 8-aza, 6-aza and 6,8-diaza-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-diones and the use thereof as antagonists for the glycine/NMDA receptor
-
Disclosed is a method of treating or preventing neuronal loss associated with stroke, ischemia, CNS trauma or hypoglycemia. The method comprises administering to an animal a compound of the formula: STR1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; wherein n is zero or 1; R 4, R 5, R 6 are independently hydrogen, nitro, amino, halo, haloalkyl, cyano, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, azido, acylamino, alkylsulfonyl, aryl, substituted aryl, heteroaryl, alkoxy, trialkylsilyl-substituted alkoxy, aryloxy, substituted aryloxy, heteroaryloxy, a heterocyclic group, a heterocyclicoxy group, aralkoxy, or haloalkoxy; and R c and R d are defined in the specification. These compounds have high binding to the glycine site of the NMDA receptor.

- Nitroketenaminals, VII: Synthesis of substituted 2-amino-3-nitropyridines from 1,3-biselectrophiles and 2-nitroethen-1,1-diamine
-
The reaction of the enones 1a-f with the nitroketenaminal 2 leads to the 4,6-disubstituted 2-amino-1,4-dihydro-3-nitropyridines 3a-f. Compounds 3a-c,f are oxidized in low yields by air to the pyridines 4a-c,f.-5- and 6-substituted 2-amino-3-nitropyridines (9a,b and 11) can be prepared from 2, 8a,b, and 10, respectively.

- SYNTHESES WITH AROMATIC NITRAMINES, VI SUBSTITUENT EFFECT IN THE PHOTOLYTIC REARRANGEMENT OF NITRAMINOPYRIDINES
-
All isomeric ring-substituted methyl-2-nitraminopyridines, both 3-nitro- and 5-nitro-2-nitraminopyridines, 5-chloro- and 3-carboxy-2-nitraminopyridines, as well as 3,5-dibromo-2-nitraminopyridine were photolyzed in methanol by irradiation with a low-pressure mercury lamp (253.7 nm).Preference was generally noted for the migration of the side-chain nitro group to the vicinal β-position. 3,5-Dibromo-2-nitraminopyridine gave both 2-amino-3,5-dibromopyridine and 3,5-dibromopyridine-2-one.The ratio of the preparative and quantum yields of the two products were 2.5 and 3.0, respectively.
