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.
Novel 8-substituted dipyridodiazepinone inhibitors with a broad-spectrum of activity against HIV-1 strains resistant to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors

A series of novel 8-substituted dipyridodiazepinone-based inhibitors were investigated for their antiviral activity against wild type human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) and the clinically prevalent K103N/Y181C mutant virus. Our efforts have resulted in a series of benzoic acid analogues that are potent inhibitors of HIV-1 replication against a panel of HIV-1 strains resistant to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Furthermore, the combination of good antiviral potency, a broad spectrum of activity, and an excellent pharmacokinetic profile provides strong justification for the further development of compound 7 as a potential treatment for wild type and NNRT1-resistant HIV-1 infection.

A series of 3-arylquinolones was prepared and evaluated for their ability to act as gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists. A variety of substitution patterns of the 3-aryl substituent are described. The 3,4,5-trimethylphenyl substituent (23h) was found to be optimal. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Analogues of capsaicin with agonist activity as novel analgesic agents; structure-activity studies. 1. The aromatic 'A-region'

A series of analogues of capsaicin, the pungent principle of chilli peppers, was synthesized and tested in assays for capsaicin-like agonism in vitro. The results of these assays were compared with activities in an acute nociceptive model and a correlation was observed which established that the results of these in vitro assays were predictive of analgesia. Using a modular approach the structure-activity profile of specific regions of capsaicin congeners was established using an in vitro assay measuring 45Ca2+ uptake into neonatal rat dorsal root ganglia neurones. Substituted benzylnonanamides 2a-z and N-octyl-substituted phenylacetamides 4a-v were made to test the requirements for activity in the aromatic 'A-region' of the molecule. Compounds with the natural substitution pattern (2b and 4c) and the corresponding catechols (2i and 4g) were the most potent, although the catechols were less potent in vivo. Other substitution patterns have reduced activity. These results have established stringent structural requirements for capsaicin-like activity in this part of the molecule.

A thorough analysis of the mechanism of inhibition of human leukocyte elastase (HLE) by a monocyclic β-lactam and the mechanism of β-lactam hydrolysis led to the preparation of potent and highly stable inhibitors of HLE.This work led to the identification of 4--3,3-diethyl-1-carbonyl>-2-azetidinone (2) as the first orally active inhibitor of human leukocyte elastase (HLE).Analogs of 2 with different substituents on the urea N were synthesized and evaluated for their activity in vitro against HLE as well as in vivo in a hamster lung hemorrhage model.Compounds with a methyl or a methoxy group in the para position of the benzene ring were very potent in both assays.The results are discussed on the basis of the proposed model for the binding of this class of inhibitors to HLE and a possible mechanism of inhibition is presented.
SYNTHESIS OF SUBSTITUTED SPIRODECA-3,6,9-TRIENE-2,8-DIONES: AN EXPEDITIOUS ROUTE TO THE SPIRODECANE TERPENE SKELETON

Substituted spirodecanes are prepared in two steps in fair to moderate yield.A substituted 4-methoxyphenylacetyl chloride, prepared from the corresponding acid, is reacted with a substituted acetylene (or acetylene gas) in the presence of aluminium c
