Subtype-selective α1-adrenoceptor (AR) antagonists display optimum therapeutic efficacies for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In this study, we designed and synthesized novel carbazole-arylpiperazines derivatives (1 and 2) on the basis of the proposed pharmacophore model for α1-AR antagonists. Structural properties were investigated using single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Comparison of crystal structures with ligand-based pharmacophore models revealed that the two agents may possess antagonistic effects on α1Dsubtype. Tissue functional assay in vitro showed that compound 2 exerted strong antagonistic activity on α1B-AR (pA27.13) with a poor selectivity for α1Aand α1Dsubtypes. Compound 1 exhibited enhanced antagonistic effect on α1Dsubtype (pA27.06) and excellent selectivity for α1Dover α1B(α1D/α1Bratio?=?79.4). To illustrate the relationship between antagonistic activity and chemical structure, molecular docking studies were performed using the homology models of α1receptors. Binding mechanism indicated that small hydrophobic substituents attached to the arylpiperazine moiety were essential for rational design of α1D-selective antagonists.
Fine-tuning hydroxylamines as single-nitrogen sources for Pd(0)-catalyzed diamination of o-bromo(or chloro)-biaryls

Transition metal-catalyzed diamination by hydroxylamines is a common approach for making three-membered aziridines, while its use for building the larger N-heterocycles is still underdeveloped. Herein, we report an efficient Pd(0)-catalyzed inter-molecular [4+1] annulation of o-bromo(or chloro)-biaryls with bifunctional secondary hydroxylamines for the one-step assembly of synthetically useful carbazoles. Noteworthily, a linchpin for this domino reaction was the judicious selection of both the amino-sources and Pd(0)-catalysts for enabling the prerequisite oxidative addition of aryl halides to Pd(0)-species in the presence of hydroxylamines with a labile N-O bond.

Aminoglycosides (AGs) are broad-spectrum antibiotics used for the treatment of serious bacterial infections but have use-limiting side effects including irreversible hearing loss. Here, we assessed the otoprotective profile of carvedilol in mouse cochlear cultures and in vivo zebrafish assays and investigated its mechanism of protection which, we found, may be mediated by a block of the hair cell's mechanoelectrical transducer (MET) channel, the major entry route for the AGs. To understand the full otoprotective potential of carvedilol, a series of 18 analogues were prepared and evaluated for their effect against AG-induced damage as well as their affinity for the MET channel. One derivative was found to confer greater protection than carvedilol itself in cochlear cultures and also to bind more tightly to the MET channel. At higher concentrations, both carvedilol and this derivative were toxic in cochlear cultures but not in zebrafish, suggesting a good therapeutic window under in vivo conditions.
