Neuropeptide S modulates important neurobiological functions including locomotion, anxiety, and drug abuse through interaction with its G protein-coupled receptor known as neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR). NPSR antagonists are potentially useful for the treatment of substance abuse disorders against which there is an urgent need for new effective therapeutic approaches. Potent NPSR antagonists in vitro have been discovered which, however, require further optimization of their in vivo pharmacological profile. This work describes a new series of NPSR antagonists of the oxazolo[3,4-a]pyrazine class. The guanidine derivative 16 exhibited nanomolar activity in vitro and 5-fold improved potency in vivo compared to SHA-68, a reference pharmacological tool in this field. Compound 16 can be considered a new tool for research studies on the translational potential of the NPSergic system. An in-depth molecular modeling investigation was also performed to gain new insights into the observed structure-activity relationships and provide an updated model of ligand/NPSR interactions.
Highly efficient enantioselective synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted 2,5-diketopiperazine derivatives via microwave irradiation

Chiral 2,5-diketopiperazine (2,5-DKP) derivatives have a broad range of biological activities in the medicinal field. The synthetic protocols of 1,3-disubstituted 2,5-DKPs via base-catalyzed cyclization of chloroacetamide have been reported. However, there are several drawbacks, such as an overly long reaction time, low to moderate yield, and racemization of the products. The sequence modified herein of 1,3-disubstituted 2,5-DKPs involves microwave-assisted cyclization. It increases yields and reduces reaction time. Furthermore, employing N-PMB protection prevents racemization, which frequently occurs in the base-catalyzed cyclization reaction. Consequently, the rapid synthetic method of enantiomerically pure 1,3-disubstituted 2,5-DKPs via microwave reaction was established successfully.
Efficient one-pot synthesis of enantiomerically pure: N -protected-α-substituted piperazines from readily available α-amino acids

A new pathway towards enantiomerically pure 3-substituted piperazines, bearing a benzyl protecting group, has been developed in good overall yields (83-92%), starting from commercially available N-protected amino acids. The methodology represents an efficient and simple one-pot procedure, employing a synthetic sequence consisting of an Ugi-4 component reaction, a Boc-deprotection, an intramolecular cyclisation reaction and a final reduction (UDCR). From the benzyl protected precursors, the 2-substituted piperazines bearing a Boc-protecting group could consequently also be obtained via a simple protection and deprotection step of the corresponding piperazines. The practical utility of this methodology was demonstrated for chiral drug synthesis.

Asymmetrically induced alkylation of 2-benzyl-4-isopropyl-2,4-dihydro- 1H-pyrazino [2,1-b] quinazoline-3,6-dione

The substitution of the 4-methyl group by a 4-isopropyl group in the 2- benzyl-2,4-dihydro-1H-pyrazino[2,1b]quinazoline-3,6-dione system allows a notable improvement in the stereoselective alkylation at C-1. The configuration of the newly introduced stereogenic centre has been assigned on the basis of 1H NMR data and NOE measurements.
