- Phosphate mediated biomimetic synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids
-
A one-pot synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids in a phosphate buffer has been achieved, and a reaction mechanism proposed. The utilisation of mild reaction conditions readily afforded a range of isoquinolines, including norcoclaurine.

- BICYCLOANILINE DERIVATIVE
-
The invention relates to a compound of a general formula (I): wherein A1 and A2 each mean a nitrogen atom or an optionally-substituted methine group; Ring B means a 5-membered to 7-membered aliphatic ring, or a spiro or bicyclo ring formed from the aliphatic ring and any other 3-membered to 7-membered aliphatic ring; R1 means a hydrogen atom, or an optionally-substituted C1-C6 alkyl group, or an optionally-substituted aryl, aralkyl or heteroaryl group; R2 means an optionally-substituted aryl, aralkyl or heteroaryl group; and X means a group of =NH or =O, etc. Based on its excellent Wee1 kinase-inhibitory effect, the compound of the invention has cell growth-inhibitory effect and has an additive/synergistic effect with any other anticancer agent, and is therefore useful in the field of medicine.

- Aromatic reduced amide bond peptidomimetics as selective inhibitors of neuronal nitric oxide synthase
-
Nitric oxide synthase inhibitors could act as important therapies for disorders arising from overstimulation or overexpression of individual nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms. But preservation of physiologically important nitric oxide functions require the use of isoform-selective inhibitors. Recently we reported reduced amide bond pseudodipeptide analogues as potent and selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) inhibitors (Hah, J.-M.; Roman, L. J.; Martasek, P.; Silverman, R. B. J. Med. Chem. 2001, 44, 2667-2670). To increase the lipophilicity a series of aromatic, reduced amide bond analogues (6-25) were designed and synthesized as potential selective nNOS inhibitors. The hypothesized large increase in isoform selectivity of nNOS over inducible NOS was not obtained in this series. However, the high potency with nNOS as well as high selectivity of nNOS over endothelial NOS was retained in some of these compounds (15, 17, 21), as well as good selectivity over inducible NOS. The most potent nNOS inhibitor among these compounds is N-(4S)-{4-amino-5-[2-(2-aminoethyl)-phenylamino]-pentyl}-N′- nitroguanidine (17) (Ki = 50 nM), which also shows the highest selectivity over eNOS (greater than 2100-fold) and 70-fold selectivity over iNOS. Further modification of compound 17 should lead to even more potent and selective nNOS inhibitors.
