Two series of novel ether analogs of the sigma (σ) receptor ligand 1-[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl]-4-(3-phenylpropyl)piperazine (SA4503) have been prepared. In one series, the alkyl portion of the 4-methoxy group was replaced with allyl, propyl, bromoethyl, benzyl, phenethyl, and phenylpropyl moieties. In the second series, the 3,4-dimethoxy was replaced with cyclic methylenedioxy, ethylenedioxy and propylenedioxy groups. These ligands, along with 4-O-des-methyl SA4503, were evaluated for σ1 and σ2 receptor affinity, and compared to SA4503 and several known ether analogs. SA4503 and a subset of ether analogs were also evaluated for dopamine transporter (DAT) and serotonin transporter (SERT) affinity. The highest σ1 receptor affinities, Ki values of 1.75-4.63 nM, were observed for 4-O-des-methyl SA4503, SA4503 and the methylenedioxy analog. As steric bulk increased, σ1 receptor affinity decreased, but only to a point. Allyl, propyl and bromoethyl substitutions gave σ1 receptor Ki values in the 20-30 nM range, while bulkier analogs having phenylalkyl, and Z- and E-iodoallyl, ether substitutions showed higher σ1 affinities, with Ki values in the 13-21 nM range. Most ligands studied exhibited comparable σ1 and σ2 affinities, resulting in little to no subtype selectivity. SA4503, the fluoroethyl analog and the methylenedioxy congener showed modest six- to fourteen-fold selectivity for σ1 sites. DAT and SERT interactions proved much more sensitive than σ receptor interactions to these structural modifications. For example, the benzyl congener (σ1 Ki = 20.8 nM; σ2 Ki = 16.4 nM) showed over 100-fold higher DAT affinity (Ki = 121 nM) and 6-fold higher SERT affinity (Ki = 128 nM) than the parent SA4503 (DAT Ki = 12650 nM; SERT Ki = 760 nM). Thus, ether modifications to the SA4503 scaffold can provide polyfunctional ligands having a broader spectrum of possible pharmacological actions.

A series of substituted derivatives containing the 1,4-benzodioxine or pyrrole nucleus are described. All the newly synthesized compounds were examined for their in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. Several derivatives, including (S)-2, 14 and 17, showed more anti-inflammatory activity in vivo in these assays (rat paw oedema induced by carrageenan) than the known classical anti-inflammatory agent ibuprofen, whereas other compounds like 1 were equipotent to ibuprofen. Compound 17 was the most outstanding derivative because of its remarkable in vivo anti-inflammatory activity. In this paper, we examine and discuss the structure-activity relationships and anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds.

Page/Page column 13, (2008/06/13)
Novel cyanoamidines compounds of formula (I) and (II) and their derivatives wherein R1-R12 are as defined in the specification act as antagonists of the P2X7 receptor. These compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of pain, inflammation and neurodegeneration states.

Racemic (R,S)-2-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl)propionic acid (3) has been prepared from 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin. R-(-)-Pantolactone has been used as auxiliary for the synthesis of R-3 and S-3. The anti-inflammatory properties of the new carboxylic acids are described and compared with other anti-inflammatory agents. The highest activity is exhibited by compound S-3.

Synthesis and antiinflammatory properties of new carboxylic acids containing the 2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin subunit are described. The 2-(2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxin-6-yl)acetic acid was of comparable potency to Ibuprofen, in carrageenan induced rat paw edema assay.
Method of inhibiting sweetness

, (2008/06/13)
The sweetness of an ingestible product containing a sweetening sugar or sugar alcohol in large quantities can be reduced by incorporating therein a sweetness-reducing amount of at least one compound of the general formula: STR1 in which m represents 0 or 1, and when m represents 0, n represents 1, 2 or 3, and p represents 1, 2, 3 or 4, and when m represents 1, n represents 1 or 2 and p represents 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; the substituents R, which may be the same or different, each represent a lower alkoxy group, e.g. with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, phenoxy group or a lower alkyl or trifluoromethyl group; and/or two substituents R together represent an aliphatic chain linked to the phenyl ring at two positions, either directly or via an oxa-group, e.g. an alkylenedioxy, alkenylenedioxy, alkylenoxy or alkenylenoxy group; and/or one substituent R represents a hydroxy group while at least one other substituent R represents an alkoxy group; and X+ represents a physiologically acceptable cation.
