In the present study, nitromethylene neonicotinoid derivatives possessing substituents that contain a sulfur atom, oxygen atom or aromatic ring at position 5 on the imidazolidine ring were synthesized to evaluate their affinity for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and their insecticidal activity against adult female houseflies. Comparing the receptor affinity of the alkylated derivative with the receptor affinity of compounds possessing either ether or thioether groups revealed that conversion of the carbon atom to a sulfur atom did not influence the receptor affinity, whereas conversion to an oxygen atom was disadvantageous for the receptor affinity. The receptor affinity of compounds possessing a benzyl or phenyl group was lower than that of the unsubstituted compound. Analysis of the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship using comparative molecular field analysis demonstrated that steric hindrance of the receptor should exist around the C3 of an n-butyl group attached at position 5 on the imidazolidine ring. A docking study of the nAChR-ligand model suggested that the ligand-binding region expands as the length of the substituent increases by brushing against the amino acids that form the binding region. The insecticidal activity of the compounds was positively correlated with the receptor affinity by considering log P and the number of heteroatoms, including sulfur and oxygen atoms, in the substituents, suggesting that the insecticidal activity is influenced by the receptor affinity, hydrophobicity, and metabolic stability of the compounds.

An efficient synthesis of (R)-3-aminothiolane is described based on a one-pot tandem hydroxyl activation-intramolecular cyclisation of Ts-protected-D-methioninol in the presence of methanesulfonyl chloride/pyridine. Removal of the tosyl group then gave (R)-3-aminothiolane in good yield. (R)-3-Aminothiolane derivatives are important building blocks for the synthesis of biologically active compounds.

Two series of N6-substituted adenosines with monocyclic and bicyclic N6 substituents containing a heteroatom were synthesized in good yields. These derivatives were assessed for their affinity ([3H]CPX), potency, and intrinsic activity (cAMP accumulation) at the A1 adenosine receptor in DDT1 MF-2 cells. In the monocyclic series, the N6-tetrahydrofuran-3-yl and thiolan-3-yl adenosines (1 and 26, respectively) were found to possess similar activities, whereas the corresponding selenium analogue 27 was found to be more potent. A series of nitrogen containing analogues showed varying properties, N6-((3R)-1-benzyloxycarbonylpyrrolidin-3-yl)adenosine (30) was the most potent at the A1AR; IC50 = 3.2 nM. In the bicyclic series, the effect of a 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl substituent in the N6-position was explored. N6-(7-Azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl)adenosine (38) proved to be a reasonably potent A1 agonist (Ki = 51 nM, IC50 = 35 nM) while further substitution on the 7″-nitrogen with tert-butoxycarbonyl (31, IC50 = 2.5 nM) and 2-bromobenzyloxycarbonyl (34, IC50 = 9.0 nM) gave highly potent A1AR agonists.
