Presynaptic cholinergic modulators as potent cognition enhancers and analgesic drugs. 1. Tropic and 2-phenylpropionic acid esters

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.

FUSED TETRAZOLES AS LRRK2 INHIBITORS

Discovery of a Potent, Selective T-type Calcium Channel Blocker as a Drug Candidate for the Treatment of Generalized Epilepsies

We report here the discovery and pharmacological characterization of N-(1-benzyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-2-phenylacetamide derivatives as potent, selective, brain-penetrating T-type calcium channel blockers. Optimization focused mainly on solubility, brain penetration, and the search for an aminopyrazole metabolite that would be negative in an Ames test. This resulted in the preparation and complete characterization of compound 66b (ACT-709478), which has been selected as a clinical candidate.

DERIVATIVES AND ANALOGS OF CHROMAN AS FUNCTIONALLY SELECTIVE ALPHA2C ADRENORECEPTOR AGONISTS

In its many embodiments, the present invention provides a novel class of chroman compounds of formula I as α2C adrenergic receptor agonists, methods of preparing such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more such compounds, methods of prepaxing pharmaceutical formulations comprising one or more such compounds, and methods of treatment, prevention, inhibition, or amelioration of one or more conditions associated with the α2C adrenergic receptors using such compounds or pharmaceutical compositions.

Discovery of non-steroidal mifepristone mimetics: Pyrazoline-based PR antagonists

Mifepristone is a non-selective antagonist of 3-oxosteroid receptors with both abortifacient and anti-endometriotic activities. Non-steroidal mimetics of mifepristone and progesterone are important templates for modulation of the progesterone receptor (PR

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of New 8-Heterocyclic Xanthine Derivatives as Highly Potent and Selective Human A2B Adenosine Receptor Antagonists

Here we report the synthesis of 8-heterocycle-substituted xanthines as potent and selective A2B adenosine receptor antagonists. The structure-activity relationships (SAR) of the xanthines synthesized in binding to recombinant human A2B adenosine receptors (ARs) in HEK-293 cells (HEK-A2B) and at other AR subtypes were explored. The synthesized compounds showed A2B adenosine receptor affinity in the nanomolar range and good levels of selectivity evaluated in radioligand binding assays at human (h) A1, A2A, A2B, and A3 ARs. We introduced several heterocycles, such as pyrazole, isoxazole, pyridine, and pyridazine, at the 8-position of the xanthine nucleus and we have also investigated different spacers (substituted acetamide, oxyacetamide, and urea moieties) on the heterocycle introduced. Various groups at the 3- and 4-positions of phenylacetamide moiety were studied. This study allowed us to identify the derivatives 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-[5-(2,6-dioxo-1,3-dipropyl-2,3,6, 7-tetrahydro-1H-purin8-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl] acetamide (29b, MRE2028F20) [Ki(hA2B) = 38 nM, Ki(hA1,hA 2A,-hA3) >1000 nM], N-benzo[1,3]dioxol-5-yl-2-[5-(2,6-dioxo-1,3-dipropyl-2,3,6, 7-tetrahydro-1H-purin-8-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yloxy] acetamide (62b, MRE2029F20) [Ki(hA2B) = 5.5 nM, Ki(hA 1,hA2A,hA3) > 1000 nM], and N-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-[5-(2,6-dioxo-1,3-dipropyl-2,3,6, 7-tetrahydro-1H-purin-8-yl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yloxy] acetamide (72b, MRE2030F20) [Ki(hA2B = 12 nM, Ki(hA 1,hA2A, hA3) > 1000 nM], which showed high affinity at the A2B receptor subtype and very good selectivity vs the other ARs. Substitution of the acetamide with an urea moiety afforded bioisosteric xanthines with good affinity and selectivity comparable to the acetamide derivatives. Substitution at the para-position of a 4-benzyloxy group of the phenylacetamido chain enhanced affinity at the A2B receptor [compound 30b (Ki(hA2B) = 13 nM) vs compound 21b (K i(hA2B = 56 nM)] but did not favor selectivity. The derivatives with higher affinity at human A2B AR proved to be antagonists, in the cyclic AMP assay, capable of inhibiting the stimulatory effect of NECA (100 nM) with IC50 values in the nanomolar range, a trend similar to that observed in the binding assay (62b, IC50 = 38 nM; 72b, IC50 = 46 nM). In conclusion, the 8-pyrazolo-1,3-dipropyl-1H-purine-2,6-dione derivatives described herein represent a new family of selective antagonists for the adenosine A 2B receptor.
