Undesirable side effects associated with orthosteric agonists/antagonists of cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R), a tractable target for treating several pathologies affecting humans, have greatly limited their translational potential. Recent discovery of CB1R negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) has renewed interest in CB1R by offering a potentially safer therapeutic avenue. To elucidate the CB1R allosteric binding motif and thereby facilitate rational drug discovery, we report the synthesis and biochemical characterization of first covalent ligands designed to bind irreversibly to the CB1R allosteric site. Either an electrophilic or a photoactivatable group was introduced at key positions of two classical CB1R NAMs: Org27569 (1) and PSNCBAM-1 (2). Among these, 20 (GAT100) emerged as the most potent NAM in functional assays, did not exhibit inverse agonism, and behaved as a robust positive allosteric modulator of binding of orthosteric agonist CP55,940. This novel covalent probe can serve as a useful tool for characterizing CB1R allosteric ligand-binding motifs.

The recent discovery of allosteric modulators of the CB1 receptor including PSNCBAM-1 (4) has generated significant interest in CB1 receptor allosteric modulation. Here in the first SAR study on 4, we have designed and synthesized a series of analogs focusing on modifications at two positions. Pharmacological evaluation in calcium mobilization and binding assays revealed the importance of alkyl substitution at the 2-aminopyridine moiety and electron deficient aromatic groups at the 4-chlorophenyl position for activity at the CB1 receptor, resulting in several analogs with comparable potency to 4. These compounds increased the specific binding of [3H]CP55,940, in agreement with previous reports. Importantly, 4 and two analogs dose-dependently reduced the Emaxof the agonist curve in the CB1 calcium mobilization assays, confirming their negative allosteric modulator characteristics. Given the side effects associated with CB1 receptor orthosteric antagonists, negative allosteric modulators provide an alternative approach to modulate the pharmacologically important CB1 receptor.
Access to 2-Aminopyridines - Compounds of great biological and chemical significance

2-Aminopyridines are key structural cores of bioactive natural products, medicinally important compounds, and organic materials and thus, extremely valuable synthetic targets. The few reported 6-substituted 2-aminopyridines and the lack of flexible, efficient and general applicable methods for their synthesis demonstrates the urgent need of new methods for their preparation. Reactions between 2,6-dibromopyridine and primary or secondary, cyclic or acyclic, and aliphatic or aromatic amines were shown to selectively yield the respective 6-bromopyridine-2-amines in very high yields which were successfully used as substrates for subsequent C-C cross-coupling reactions. The recently introduced dichloro-bis[1-(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)piperidine]palladium (1) was used as catalyst for the cross-coupling of 6-bromopyridine-2-amines with arylboronic acids, diaryl- and dialkylzinc reagents or olefins and hence, is also an excellent C-C cross-coupling catalyst for this type of substrate. Moreover, all the reaction protocols presented were in each of the catalyses uniformly applied. The scope of both the amination and the cross-coupling reactions are well defined and allow one to simply adapt the reaction protocols directly to other amines and/or coupling partners and, thus, provide for the first time a very flexible and generally applicable reaction protocol to get access to 2-aminopyridines.

Role of copper in catalyzing aryl and heteroaryl-nitrogen (or -oxygen) bond formation under ligand-free and solvent-free conditions
Basu, Basudeb,Das, Sajal,Mandal, Bablee
experimental part, p. 1701 - 1706 (2009/07/04)
Formation of aryl- or heteroaryl-nitrogen (or -oxygen) bonds under ligand and solvent-free conditions are highly selective to the presence of copper. While bromoarenes undergo C-N (or -O) coupling in stoichiometric presence of copper, heteroaryl bromides require only catalytic amounts of copper(I) salts depending on the position of bromo substituents. Such selectivity coupled with ligand and solvent-free protocols appear promising from the viewpoint of ecology and economy and are more attractive as compared to the existing protocols.

Palladium-catalysed C-N hetero cross-coupling reactions between bromopyridines and amines (both primary and secondary) can be efficiently performed on a KF-alumina (basic) surface, thus negating the use of strong bases such as sodium tert-butoxide. The reaction conditions are optimised with reference to catalytic systems, solvents and the surface.
Studies on the mechanism of action of 2-formyl-4-pyrrolidinopyridine: Isolation and characterization of a reactive intermediate

This paper describes the mechanism of action of 2-formyl-4- pyrrolidinopyridine (FPP, 1a) which is a catalyst for the hydroxyl-directed methanolysis of α-hydroxy esters. This species was initially designed to act as a nucleophilic catalyst; however, we have ruled out a nucleophilic mechanism by examining the activity of 6-substituted-FPP derivatives. These compounds are more hindered in the vicinity of the pyridine nitrogen than FPP itself but are also more active catalysts. Furthermore, the presence of p- nitrophenol, a mild acid, was found to accelerate the catalytic reaction. These results are inconsistent with a nucleophilic catalysis mechanism. We provide evidence that the reaction instead proceeds via dioxolanone intermediate 10. Dioxolanone 10 can be obtained by treating either the p- nitrophenyl ester or the pentafluorophenyl ester of glycolic acid with FPP in chloroform in the absence of methanol. It has been isolated, characterized, and shown to be kinetically competent when subjected to the conditions of the catalytic reaction.
