, p. 1165 - 1168 (1997)
Cubylcarbinylamine (1a), (4-cyclopropylcubyl)carbinylamine (1b), and (4- phenylcubyl)carbinylamine (1c) were synthesized and shown to be time- dependent, irreversible inactivators of monoamine oxidase B (MAO B). Substrate protects the enzyme from inactiva
Thermal and Sensitiveness Determination of Cubanes: Towards Cubane-Based Fuels for Infrared Countermeasures

As infrared seeking technology evolves, threats are better able to distinguish defensive infrared (IR) flares from true targets. Spectrally matched flares, which generally employ carbon-based fuels, are better able to decoy some advanced missiles by more closely mimicking the IR emission of the target. Cubane is a high-energy carbon-based scaffold which may be suitable for use as a fuel in spectrally matched flares. The enthalpy of formation and strain energy of a series of cubanes was predicted in silico, and their thermal and impact stability examined. All were found to undergo highly exothermic decomposition in sealed cell differential scanning calorimetry, and two cubanes subsequently underwent quantitative sensitiveness testing. Despite their F of I values being in the secondary explosive range, cubane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (F of I=70) and 4-carbamoylcubane-1-carboxylic acid (F of I=90) were identified as potentially useful fuels for pyrotechnic infrared countermeasure flare formulations.

The cubane phenyl ring bioisostere paradigm was further explored in an extensive study covering a wide range of pharmaceutical and agrochemical templates, which included antibiotics (cefaclor, penicillin G) and antihistamine (diphenhydramine), a smooth muscle relaxant (alverine), an anaesthetic (ketamine), an agrochemical instecticide (triflumuron), an antiparasitic (benznidazole) and an anticancer agent (tamibarotene). This investigation highlights the scope and limitations of incorporating cubane into bioactive molecule discovery, both in terms of synthetic compatibility and physical property matching. Cubane maintained bioisosterism in the case of the Chagas disease antiparasitic benznidazole, although it was less active in the case of the anticancer agent (tamibarotenne). Application of the cyclooctatetraene (COT) (bio)motif complement was found to optimize benznidazole relative to the benzene parent, and augmented anticancer activity relative to the cubane analogue in the case of tamibarotene. Like all bioisosteres, scaffolds and biomotifs, however, there are limitations (e.g. synthetic implementation), and these have been specifically highlighted herein using failed examples. A summary of all templates prepared to date by our group that were biologically evaluated strongly supports the concept that cubane is a valuable tool in bioactive molecule discovery and COT is a viable complement.

Herein we describe our recent attempts to target the P2X7 receptor for potential treatment of neurological disorders. This work focusses on different polycycles including carborane, adamantane or cubane, joined by either a cyanoguanidine or an amide linker to phenyl or isoquinoline moieties. We have demonstrated the superiority of the adamantyl moiety over other polycycles in terms of synthetic accessibility and biological (cellular) activity. We have also shown that an amide or cyanoguanidine linker can greatly alter the biological activity of compounds. This SAR study provides important insights into the types of functionality required to target the P2X7 receptor.
Structure-activity relationships of N-substituted 4-(trifluoromethoxy) benzamidines with affinity for GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors

GluN2B subtype-selective NMDA antagonists represent promising therapeutic targets for the symptomatic treatment of multiple CNS pathologies. A series of N-benzyl substituted benzamidines were synthesised and the benzyl ring was further replaced with various polycyclic moieties. Compounds were evaluated for activity at GluN2B containing NMDA receptors where analogues 9, 12, 16 and 18 were the most potent of the series, replacement of the benzyl ring with polycycles resulted in a complete loss of activity.
The first cns-active carborane: A novel p2x7 receptor antagonist with antidepressant activity

Relative to other polycyclic frameworks (1-3), a carborane cage (4 and Cs·5) exerts a significant biological effect as an inhibitor of the purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) which allows one to target depression in vivo and thus demonstrate, for the first time, that a carborane has the capacity to modify CNS activity.

This invention relates to compounds of Formula (I), wherein A is a carboaromatic or heteroaromatic ring having one or more substituents; R6 Formula (A) is optionally substituted with one or more substituents; and n is 0, 1 or an integer greater than 1 and when n is 1 or greater the bond or bonds between the carbon atoms may be saturated or unsaturated, which bind the P2X7 receptor with high affinity. This invention also relates to methods for the diagnosis, treatment or monitoring of disorders in which the P2X7 receptor is implicated, in particular the diagnosis, treatment or monitoring of (the progression of) neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders in a subject.

Polycyclic amides 2 and 5-9 were successfully synthesised and their lipophilicity profiles were evaluated using reverse-phase HPLC. All synthesised compounds possessed P2X7R antagonistic properties when tested on rat spinal cord microglia cells. Extensive screening for binding to other neuroreceptor subtypes demonstrated their P2X7 selectivity.
