G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of transmembrane receptors in eukaryotes. The adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) is a class A GPCR that is of interest as a therapeutic target particularly in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and neuropathic pain. Increased knowledge of the role A1AR plays in mediating these pathophysiological processes will help realise the therapeutic potential of this receptor. There is a lack of enabling tools such as selective fluorescent probes to study A1AR, therefore we designed a series of (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinols conjugated to a fluorescent dye (31-35, 42-43). An improved procedure for the synthesis of isoquinolinols from tetrahydroisoquinolinols via oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and atmospheric oxygen is reported. This synthetic method offers advantages over previous metal-based methods for the preparation of isoquinolinols and isoquinolines, which are important scaffolds found in many biologically active compounds and natural products. We report the first synthesis of the (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinol compound class, however the fluorescent conjugates were not successful as A1AR fluorescent ligands.

The availability of peptide and non-peptide Ang II receptor antagonists has permitted the study of Ang II receptor heterogeneity.It is now widely recognized that there are at least two distinct Ang II receptor subtypes.AT1 receptors are selective in their recognition of agents such as losartan, DuP 532,L-158,809,SKF108566, and similar non-peptides.To date, all of the well-known actions of Ang II in mammals are blocked by the AT1 selective antagonists such as losartan and are thus designated as being mediated by the AT1 receptor.Although there have been reports of functional activity mediated through AT2 sites, the pharmacological role for the AT2 receptor has not yet been elucidated.Herein, we report the chemistry and SAR on a novel series of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acids which have selective affinity for AT2 receptors.The most potent of which (19) has an IC50 of 30 nM for the AT2 receptor in the rat adrenal radioligand binding assay.
