- Discovery of (3-Benzyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)carbamates as new antitubercular agents with potent in vitro and in vivo efficacy
-
A series of 3-amino-5-benzylphenol derivatives were designed and synthesized. Among them, (3-benzyl-5-hydroxyphenyl)carbamates were found to exert good inhibitory activity against M. tuberculosis H37Ra, H37Rv and clinically isolated multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis strains (MIC = 0.625-6.25 μg/mL). The privileged compounds 3i and 3l showed moderate cytotoxicity against cell line A549. Compound 3l also exhibited potent in vivo inhibitory activity on a mouse infection model via the oral administration. The results demonstrated 3-hydroxyphenylcarbamates as a class of new antitubercular agents with good potential.

- Visible-Light-Induced Intramolecular C(sp2)-H Amination and Aziridination of Azidoformates via a Triplet Nitrene Pathway
-
Catalytic intramolecular C-H amination and aziridination reactions of o-allylphenyl azidoformates have been achieved under visible-light irradiation, providing a mild, clean, and efficient method for the synthesis of useful benzoxazolones and [5.1.0] bicyclic aziridines. Mechanistic studies suggest that a triplet nitrene acts as the reactive intermediate. The chemoselectivity of the reaction, with alkyl olefin aziridination ? electron deficient olefin aziridination ≈ C(sp2)-H amination ? C(sp3)-H amination was observed, which may be instructive in the development of an understanding of visible-light-induced triplet nitrene transformation reactions.

- Evaluation of the analgesic effect of 4-anilidopiperidine scaffold containing ureas and carbamates
-
Fentanyl is a powerful opiate analgesic typically used for the treatment of severe and chronic pain, but its prescription is strongly limited by the well-documented side-effects. Different approaches have been applied to develop strong analgesic drugs with reduced pharmacologic side-effects. One of the most promising is the design of multitarget drugs. In this paper we report the synthesis, characterization and biological evaluation of twelve new 4-anilidopiperidine (fentanyl analogues). In vivo hot-Plate test, shows a moderate antinociceptive activity for compounds OMDM585 and OMDM586, despite the weak binding affinity on both μ and δ-opioid receptors. A strong inverse agonist activity in the GTP-binding assay was revealed suggesting the involvement of alternative systems in the brain. Fatty acid amide hydrolase inhibition was evaluated, together with binding assays of cannabinoid receptors. We can conclude that compounds OMDM585 and 586 are capable to elicit antinociception due to their multitarget activity on different systems involved in pain modulation.

- In vitro radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities of novel hybrid selenocarbamates
-
Novel selenocyanate and diselenide derivatives containing a carbamate moiety were synthesised and evaluated in vitro to determine their cytotoxic and radical scavenging properties. Cytotoxic activity was tested against a panel of human cell lines including CCRF-CEM (lymphoblastic leukaemia), HT-29 (colon carcinoma), HTB-54 (lung carcinoma), PC-3 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), 184B5 (non-malignant, mammary gland derived) and BEAS-2B (non-malignant, derived from bronchial epithelium). Most of the compounds displayed high antiproliferative activity with GI50 values below 10 μM in MCF-7, CCRF-CEM and PC-3 cells. Radical scavenging properties of the new selenocompounds were confirmed testing their ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals. Based on the activity of selenium-based glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), compounds 1a, 2e and 2h were further screened for their capacity to reduce hydrogen peroxide under thiol presence. Results suggest that compound 1a mimics GPxs activity. Cytotoxic parameters, radical scavenging activity and ADME profile point to 1a as promising drug candidate.

- Synthesis and biological activity evaluation of cytidine-5′-deoxy-5- fluoro-N-[(alkoxy/aryloxy)] carbonyl-cyclic 2′,3′-carbonates
-
Capecitabine, an oral prodrug of 5-FU was developed to improve the tumor selectivity and tolerability. To enhance the efficacy of capacitabine, a series of 5′-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine derivatives 5a-e were synthesized. In the present study, we investigated antitumor activity of 5′-deoxy-5- fluorocytidine derivatives both in vivo and in vitro methods. Title compounds were non-mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium tester strain in Ames test. Compounds 5d and 5e are potent to inhibit the proliferation of NCI-69, PZ-HPV-7, MCF-7 and HeLa cells in MTT assay. In particular, 5d and 5e showed potent antitumor activities against L1210 leukemia cell line. Collectively, these findings suggest that 5d and 5e are more potent anti-cancer compounds than capecitabine.

- New N-arachidonoylserotonin analogues with potential "dual" mechanism of action against pain
-
N-Arachidonoylserotonin (AA-5-HT, 1a) is an inhibitor of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) that acts also as an antagonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 1 (TRPV1) channels and is analgesic in rodents. We modified the chemical structure of 1a with the aim of developing "hybrid" FAAH/TRPV1 blockers more potent than the parent compound or obtaining analogues with single activity at either of the two targets to study the mechanism of the analgesic action of 1a. Thirty-eight AA-5-HT analogues, containing a serotonin "head" bound to a variety of lipophilic moieties via amide, urea, or carbamate functionalities, were synthesized. Unlike 1a, most of the new compounds possessed activity at only one of the two considered targets. The amides 1b and 1c of α- and γ-linolenic acid, however, showed "hybrid" activity similar to 1a. The carbamate 3f (OMDM106), although unable to antagonize TRPV1 receptors, was the most potent FAAH inhibitor in this study (IC50 = 0.5 μM). Compounds 3f and 1m (OMDM129), which exhibited activity at only FAAH or TRPV1, respectively, were 10-fold less potent than 1a at preventing formalin-induced hyperalgesia in mice.

- NITROXIDE CHEMISTRY XXI. REACTIONS OF BIS(BISTRIFLUOROMETHYLAMINO-OXY)-MERCURY(II) AND NN-BIS(TRIFLUOROMETHYL)NITROXIDE WITH THIOCARBONYL COMPOUNDS
-
Thiobenzophenone, 9-thiocarbonylfluorene and carbonyl sulphide react with the mercurial, Hg2, to form HgS and the compounds Ph2C2, (C6H4)2C2 and 2CO respectively.The last compound is also formed as the major product on mixing the mercurial with carbon disulphide.With thiophosgene, reaction occurs to form HgCl2 and a mixture of the compounds (CF3)2NSCOCl and (CF3)2NSCOON(CF3)2, which are thought to arise by rearrangement of the intermediates (CF3)2NOC(S)Cl and 2CS.A similar rearrangement may also occur during the reactions of thiobenzoyl chloride and aryl chlorothionoformates with the mercurial but the product mixtures from these reactions are more complex and pure compounds have not been isolated.Reaction between thiophosgene dimer and the mercurial results in a simple chlorine exchange to afford the 1,3-dithietane 2cyclo2S>.The low temperature reaction of thiophosgene with (CF3)2NO gives a thermally unstable product believed to be (CF3)2NOCCl2S(O)ON(CF3)2, while the similar reaction with thiobenzophenone appears to give (CF3)2NOCPh2SON(CF3)2, which decomposes above 0 deg C.

- Nouvelles syntheses de phenyl-4 allophanates
-
The synthesis of eighteen alkyl or phenyl 4-phenylallophanates is described.The classical methods used for the preparation of allophanates - namely, condensation between an isocyanate and a carbamate, reaction between a urea and a carbonate, desulphurization of 3-thioallophanic acid esters - proved to be unsuitable for the synthesis of 4-phenylallophanic acid phenyl esters.Variously substituted 4-phenylallophanates can be obtained by reacting a chloroformate with a phenylurea in the presence of pyridine, which promotes the transfer of the carboxylate group.The occurence of electrondonating substituents, such as CH3, at the nitrogen atom receiving the carboxylate group promotes the reaction.The low yields observed for aliphatic esters can be accounted for by the instability of the alkyl chloroformate-pyridine complex.The structures of the derivatives synthesized was corroborated by the analysis of their n.m.r. and u.v. spectra. Non-commercial phenyl chloroformates were prepared by reacting phosgene with a sodium phenolate in the presence of anhydrous benzene.

- Effect of Nucleophile Basicity on Intramolecular Nucleophilic Aminolysis Reactions of Carbonate Diesters
-
The rates of phenol release from para-substituted phenyl 2-pyridylethyl carbonates have been measured in H2O at 25 deg C (μ 0.5 M).The pH-rate constant profiles are sigmoidal, showing participation by the pyridine neutral base species.The D2O solvent isotope effect is nearly unity, indicating that participation is by a nucleophilic reaction.The Hammett ρ value for intramolecular pyridine assisted phenol release is +2.2, and the fit is better with ?- than with ?, indicating considerable C-O bond breaking in the transition state.The effective molarity of the neighboring pyridine of p-nitrophenyl 2-pyridylethyl carbonate is 81 M in comparison with pyridine acting as a bimolecular catalyst in the hydrolysis of ethyl p-nitrophenyl carbonate.Intramolecular nucleophilic attack is 217 times more favorable when a five-membered ring is formed with phenyl 2-pyridylmethyl carbonate than in the case of phenyl 2-pyridylethyl carbonate where the reaction proceeds via a six-membered ring.The effective molarity of neighboring pyridine in the 2-pyridylmethyl series is 2x103 M.Sigmoidal pH-rate constant profiles were also obtained with neighboring imidazole, N,N-dimethylamino, and N-methylpiperidine nucleophiles.Values of the limiting rate constants (kB) are similar in spite of pKapp values which vary from 3.9 to 10.The effective molarity of the dimethylamino group of p-nitrophenyl N,N-dimethylaminopropyl carbonate is only 32 M in comparison to reaction of triethylamine with ethyl p-nitrophenyl carbonate.On the other hand, the effective molarity of the dimethylamino group of p-nitrophenyl o-(N,N-dimethylamino)phenyl carbonate (pKapp=3.9) is > 105 M.The most efficient intramolecular nucleophiles in reactions of p-nitrophenyl carbonate diesters are those of low pKa.In contrast, with analogous carboxylate esters the converse is the case, even though the rate constants for bimolecular aminolysuis of p-nitrophenyl acetate and ethyl p-nitrophenyl carbonate are closely similar.These results may indicate that C-N bond formation is not complete in the transition states of the intramolecular reactions.
