Accounts regarding the use of novel psychoactive substances continue to escalate annually. These include reports on substituted benzofurans (SBs), such as 1-(1-benzofuran-2-yl)-N-ethylpropan-2-amine (2-EAPB) and 1-(1-benzofuran-5-yl)-N-ethylpropan-2-amine (5-EAPB). Reports on the deaths and adverse consequences from the use of SBs warrant the investigation of their mechanism, possibly predicting the effects of similar compounds. Accordingly, we investigated the possible rewarding and reinforcing effects of 2-EAPB and 5-EAPB through conditioned place preference (CPP), self-administration, and locomotor sensitization tests. We also determined the possible influence of 2-EAPB and 5-EAPB administration on dopamine- and plasticity-related proteins in the nucleus accumbens and ventral tegmental area. 2-EAPB and 5-EAPB induced CPP at different doses and were self-administered by rats. Only 5-EAPB induced locomotor sensitization in mice. 2-EAPB and 5-EAPB did not alter the expressions of dopamine D1 and D2 receptors in the nucleus accumbens, nor changed tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine transporter expressions in the ventral tegmental area. Both 2-EAPB and 5-EAPB enhanced deltaFosB, but not transcription factor cyclic AMP-response-element binding protein and brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the nucleus accumbens. Hence, the potential rewarding and reinforcing effects on rodents induced by 2-EAPB and 5-EAPB may possibly be associated with alterations in other neurotransmitter systems (besides mesolimbic) and/or neuro-plastic modifications.

Acrylates bearing an aryl or heteroaryl moiety were efficiently prepared by a one-pot process employing a sequence of lithiation, formylation and the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction starting from aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. This method can efficiently introduce an acrylate moiety into aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.
METAL-FREE SOLVENT-FREE SYNTHESIS OF FUSED-PYRIDO HETEROCYCLES AND BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

Paragraph 0085; 00110; 00112, (2021/01/29)
Embodiments herein provide fused-pyrido heterocycles such as azaindoles, carboline derivatives, furo[b]pyridines or furo[b]pyridine-isatin hybrids of Formula I. Embodiments also relate to a process for a synthesis of variety of complex pyrido-heterocycles The pyrido-heterocycles can be used for treating cancer (cervix, kidney, lung, breast and epidermal skin) and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis. These heterocycles can also be used as anti-biofilm agents against pathogenic strains, which will minimize the risk of secondary infections.
