Discovery, synthesis, and structure-activity relations of 3,4-dihydro-1H-spiro(naphthalene-2,2′-piperidin)-1-ones as potassium-competitive acid blockers

With the aim to discover a gastric antisecretory agent more potent than the existing proton pump inhibitors, novel 3,4-dihydro-1H-spiro(naphthalene-2,2′-piperidin)-1-one derivatives, which could occupy two important lipophilic pockets (described as LP-1 and LP-2) of H+,K+-ATPase and can strongly bind to the K+-binding site, were designed based on a docking model. Among the compounds synthesized, compound 4d showed a strong H+,K+-ATPase-inhibitory activity and a high stomach concentration in rats, resulting in potent inhibitory action on histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats. Furthermore, 4d exerted significant inhibitory action on histamine-stimulated gastric-acid secretion in rats with a rapid onset and moderate duration of action after the administration. These findings may lead to a new insight into the drug design of potassium-competitive acid blockers.

Discovery, characterization and biological evaluation of a novel (R)-4,4-difluoropiperidine scaffold as dopamine receptor 4 (D4R) antagonists

Herein, we report the synthesis and structure–activity relationship of a novel series of (R)-4,4-difluoropiperidine core scaffold as dopamine receptor 4 (D4) antagonists. A series of compounds from this scaffold are highly potent against the D4receptor and selective against the other dopamine receptors. In addition, we were able to confirm the active isomer as the (R)-enantiomer via an X-ray crystal structure.

Cyclization of benzyne-tethered alkyllithiums: Preparation of 3-substituted benzocyclobutenes and 5-substituted tetralins

A five-step, one-pot preparation of isomerically pure 3-substituted benzocyclobutenes or 5-substituted tetralins in 20-40% yield from the appropriate α-(2-fluorophenyl)-ω-iodoalkane, involving generation and subsequent 4-or 6-exo cyclization of a benzyne-tethered alkyllithium, is described.

2-substituted (2SR)-2-amino-2-((1SR,2SR)-2-carboxycycloprop-1- yl)glycines as potent and selective antagonists of group II metabotropic glutamate receptors. 2. Effects of aromatic substitution, pharmacological characterization, and bioavailability

In this paper we describe the synthesis of a series of α-substituted analogues of the potent and selective group II metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) agonist (1S,1'S,2'S)-carboxycyclopropylglycine (2, L-CCG 1). Incorporation of a substituent on the amino acid carbon converted the agonist 2 into an antagonist. All of the compounds were prepared and tested as a series of four isomers, i.e., two racemic diastereomers. On the basis of the improvement in affinity realized for the α-phenylethyl analogue 3, in this paper we explored the effects of substitution on the aromatic ring as a strategy to increase the affinity of these compounds for group II mGluRs. Affinity for group II mGluRs was measured using [3H]glutamic acid (Glu) binding in rat forebrain membranes. Antagonist activity was confirmed for these compounds by measuring their ability to antagonize (1S,3R)-1- aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid-induced inhibition of forskolin stimulated cyclic-AMP in RGT cells transfected with human mGluR2 and mGluR3. Meta substitution on the aromatic ring of 3 with a variety of substituents, both electron donating (e.g., methyl, hydroxy, amino, methoxy, phenyl, phenoxy) and electron withdrawing (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, carboxy, trifluoromethyl) gave from 1.5- to 4.5-fold increases in affinity. Substitution with p-fluorine, as in 97 (IC50 = 0.022 ± 0.002), was the exception. Here, a greater increase in affinity was realized than for either the ortho- or meta-substituted analogues; 97 was the most potent compound resulting from monosubstitution of the aromatic. At best, only modest increases in affinity were realized for certain compounds bearing either two chlorines or two fluorines, and two methoxy groups gave no improvement in affinity (all examined in a variety of substitution patterns). Three amino acids, 4, 5, and 104, were resolved into their four constituent isomers, and affinity and functional activity for group II mGluRs was found to reside solely in the S,S,S-isomers of each, consistent with 1. With an IC50 = 2.9 ± 0.6 nM, the resolved xanthylmethyl compound 168 was the most potent compound from this SAR. Amino acid 168 demonstrated high plasma levels following intraperitoneal (ip) administration and readily penetrated into the brain. This compound, however, had only limited (~5%) oral bioavailability. Systemic administration of 168 protected mice from limbic seizures produced by the mGluR agonist 3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine, with an ED50 = 31 mg/kg (ip, 60 min preinjection). Thus, 168 represents a valuable tool to study the role of group II mGluRs in disease.
