The iron salt-mediated Polonovski reaction efficiently N-demethylates certain opiate alkaloids. In this process, the use of the hydrochloride salt of the tertiary N-methyl amine oxide was reported to give better yields of the desired N-demethylated product. Herein, we report further investigation into the use of N-oxide salts in the iron salt-mediated Polonovski reaction. An efficient approach for the removal of iron salts that greatly facilitates isolation and purification of the N-nor product is also described.

The synthesis of scopin acetate (6b) and 6,7-didehydrohyoscyamine (17) was achieved by using tropine (5) as the starting compound. Formal (phenylthio)-radical transfer to the nonactivated 6-position of ethyl N-demethyl-3-O-(phenylthio)tropine-N-carboxylate (9) by irradiation in the presence of hexabutyldistannane is a key step of this synthetic approach, involving ethyl 6,7-didehydro-N-demethyltropine-N-carboxylate (15) as a synthetic intermediate (Schemes 3 and 5). The reaction of 9 with tributylstannane in the presence of ethyl acrylate, as a radicophilic olefin, involves Michael-type alkylation at C(6) of the tropine skeleton affording ethyl N-demethyl-N-(ethoxycarbonyl)tropine-6-propanoate (18) (Scheme 6).

The enzymes N-methylputrescine oxidase (MPO), the tropine-forming tropinone reductase (TRI), the pseudotropine-forming tropinone reductase (TRII), the tropine:acyl-CoA transferase (TAT) and the pseudotropine:acyl-CoA transferase (PAT) extracted from transformed root cultures of Datura stramonium and a Brugmansia candida x aurea hybrid were tested for their ability to accept a range of alternative substrates. MPO activity was tested with N-alkylputrescines and N-alkylcadaverines as substrates. TRI and TRII reduction was tested against a series of N-alkylnortropinones, N- alkylnorpelletierines and structurally related ketones as substrates. TAT and PAT esterification tests used a series of N-substituted tropines, pseudotropines, pelletierinols and pseudopelletierinols as substrates to assess the formation of their respective acetyl and tigloyl esters. The results generally show that these enzymes will accept alien substrates to varying degrees. Such studies may shed some light on the overall topology of the active sites of the enzymes concerned.

This invention relates to certain novel benzoxazinone compounds and derivatives thereof, their synthesis, and their use as oxytocin receptor antagonists. One application of these compounds is in the treatment of preterm labor. The ability of the compounds to relax uterine contractions in mammals also makes them useful for treating dysmenorrhea and stopping labor prior to cesarean delivery. A typical compound is as follows: STR1
Synthesis, antimuscarinic activity and quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of tropinyl and piperidinyl esters

A series of tropinyl and piperidinyl esters was synthesized and evaluated for inhibitory activities on the endothelial muscarinic receptors of rat (M3) and rabbit (M2) aorta. Some of the esters (cyclohexylphenylglycolates and cyclohexylphenylpropionates) were found to be better antimuscarinic compounds than standard M2 and M3 inhibitors such as AFDX116 and 4-diphenylacetoxy-N-methylpiperidine (DAMP), with pKEC50 values in the range of 8-9. A few esters were found to be more selective M3 than M2 inhibitors, but these tended to have low activities. The hydrophobic, electronic and steric characteristics of these esters were correlated with antimuscarinic activity by using appropriate parameters representing hydrophobicity (HPLC capacity factor, log k(w), size (molecular volume) and electronic character (Taft's polar substituent constant δ and 13C chemical shift difference Δδ). Finally, 92% of the M2-inhibitory activities of the esters could be accounted for by the size and electronic character σ* of the side chain. In contrast, the M3-inhibitory activities of these esters were mainly attributed to the electronic nature (σ*, Δδ) of the side chain, with good activity being associated with electron-withdrawing groups. Visualization of the comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) steric and electrostatic fields provided further confirmation of the structure-activity relationship (SAR) derived from traditional quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approaches.
