A series consisting of 117 2-(halogenated phenyl) acetamide and propanamide analogs were investigated as TRPV1 antagonists. The structure–activity analysis targeting their three pharmacophoric regions indicated that halogenated phenyl A-region analogs exhibited a broad functional profile ranging from agonism to antagonism. Among the compounds, antagonists 28 and 92 exhibited potent antagonism toward capsaicin for hTRPV1 with Ki[CAP] = 2.6 and 6.9 nM, respectively. Further, antagonist 92 displayed promising analgesic activity in vivo in both phases of the formalin mouse pain model. A molecular modeling study of 92 indicated that the two fluoro groups in the A-region made hydrophobic interactions with the receptor.
1,3,2-Diazaphospholenes Catalyze the Conjugate Reduction of Substituted Acrylic Acids

The potent nucleophilicity and remarkably low basicity of 1,3,2-diazaphospholenes (DAPs) is exploited in a catalytic, metal-free 1,4-reduction of free α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Notably, the reduction occurs without a prior deprotonation of the carboxylic acid moiety and hence does not consume an additional hydride equivalent. This highlights the excellent nucleophilic character and low basicity of DAP-hydrides. Functional groups such as Cbz group or alkyl halides which can be problematic with classical transition-metal catalysts are well tolerated in the DAP-catalyzed process. Moreover, the transformation is characterized by a low catalyst loading, mild reaction conditions at ambient temperature as well as fast reaction times and high yields. The proof-of-principle for a catalytic enantioselective version is described.

Previous studies have shown that (R)-(+)-hyoscyamine has analgesic activity as a consequence of increased ACh release following antagonism of central muscarinic autoreceptors. Since the enhancement of central cholinergic transmission could be beneficial for cognitive disorders, we manipulated (R)-(+)-hyoscyamine, synthesizing several derivatives of tropic and 2-phenylpropionic acids, with the aim of obtaining drugs which are able to increase ACh release and consequently to show analgesic and nootropic activities. The results showed that several new compounds are indeed potent analgesics (with an analgesic efficacy comparable to that of morphine) and that the most potent one ((±)-19, PG9) also has remarkable cognition- enhancing properties. Our study confirmed that the mechanism of action involves ACh release even if it is still unclear whether only muscarinic autoreceptors or, also, heteroreceptors are involved.
