A novel protocol for the synthesis of α-aryl nitriles has been successfully achieved via a copper-catalyzed cyanation of N-tosylhydrazones employing thiocyanate as the source of cyanide. The features of this method include a convenient operation, readily available substrates, low-toxicity thiocyanate salts, and a broad substrate scope.

Designing ligands with D1/D5 subtype selectivity is a challenge because of the high identity within the receptor helices. Based on the lead compounds 1-3, the thieno-benzazecine regioisomers 4 and 5 were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their affinity towards the five dopamine receptor subtypes utilizing a radioligand binding affinity technique. Within the D1-like family, compound 4 showed 20 fold selectivity for the D5 subtype over D1 subtype (Ki = 3 nM, D1: 60 nM), while its regioisomer, compound 5 with a reversed thiophene position, prefers the D1 subtype over the D5 subtype (Ki = 4 nM, D5: 15 nM). The benzothieno-benzazecine analog 6 was shown to be one of the few azecine derivatives with high affinity for both the D1- and the D2-like family members in the same order of magnitude (Ki = 1.5 nM for D2 and 1.9 nM for D5). Thorough analysis of the amino acid residues constituting the binding pockets of the target dopamine receptor subtypes revealed that at the D5 receptor, either serine S 6.62 and threonine T 7.33 residues or a water network, stabilized by anionic amino acids could contribute to the selectivity pattern of the synthesized compounds.

Five phenyl-substituted derivatives and analogues of 1,2,3,4,5,6- hexahydroazepino[4,5-b]indole, 5, a major fragment of ibogaine (1), were synthesized and tested for binding to monoamine transporters, the NMDA receptor-coupled cation channel, and dopamine and opioid receptors. All five derivatives, 9 and 17a-d, displayed 8-10-fold higher affinity at the DA transporter than ibogaine and noribogaine (4). At the serotonin transporter, two compounds (9 and 17a) exhibited higher potency than ibogaine, while the rest had weaker binding affinities than the lead compound. In keeping with their structural similarity to ibogaine, all five compounds displayed weak to poor affinity for dopamine D1 and D2 receptors. However, two compounds, 17a,c, demonstrated moderate binding affinities at dopamine D3 receptors. All five compounds displayed weak to poor affinities for μ and κ opioid receptors and for the NMDA receptor-coupled cation channel. Despite the qualitative differences, derivatives and analogues of 5 may serve as useful substitutes for ibogaine.
