The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

A complementary dual carbonyl activation strategy for the synthesis of polycyclic alkaloids has been developed. Successful applications include the synthesis of tetracyclic alkaloids harmalanine and harmalacinine, pentacyclic indoloquinolizidine alkaloid nortetoyobyrine, and octacyclic β-carboline alkaloid peganumine A. The latter synthesis features a protecting-group-free assembly and an asymmetric disulfonimide-catalyzed cyclization. Furthermore, formal syntheses of hirsutine, deplancheine, 10-desbromoarborescidine A, and oxindole alkaloids rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline have been achieved. Finally, a concise synthesis of berberine alkaloid ilicifoline B was completed.

Allosteric modulation offers an alternate approach to target the cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1) for therapeutic benefits. Examination of the two widely studied prototypic CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 revealed structural resemblance and similar structure–activity relationships (SARs). In silico docking and dynamics simulation studies using the crystal structure of CB1 co-bound with CP55,940 and Org27569 suggested that Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 occupied the same binding pocket and several common interactions were present in both series with the CB1 receptor. A new scaffold was therefore designed by merging the key structural features from the two series and the hybrids retained these binding features in the in silico docking studies. In addition, one such hybrid displayed similar functions to Org27569 in dynamic simulations by preserving a key R2143.50-D3386.30 salt bridge and maintaining an antagonist-like Helix3-Helix6 interhelical distance. Based on these results, a series of hybrids were synthesized and assessed in calcium mobilization, [35S]GTPγS binding and cAMP assays. Several compounds displayed comparable potencies to Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 in these assays. This work offers new insight of the SAR requirement at the allosteric site of the CB1 receptor and provides a new scaffold that can be optimized for the development of future CB1 allosteric modulators.
Discovery of Dihydropyrrolo[1,2- a]pyrazin-3(4 H)-one-Based Second-Generation GluN2C- And GluN2D-Selective Positive Allosteric Modulators (PAMs) of the N-Methyl- d -Aspartate (NMDA) Receptor

The N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is an ion channel that mediates the slow, Ca2+-permeable component of glutamatergic synaptic transmission in the central nervous system (CNS). NMDARs are known to play a significant role in basic neurological functions, and their dysfunction has been implicated in several CNS disorders. Herein, we report the discovery of second-generation GluN2C/D-selective NMDAR-positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) with a dihydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(4H)-one core. The prototype, R-(+)-EU-1180-453, exhibits log unit improvements in the concentration needed to double receptor response, lipophilic efficiency, and aqueous solubility, and lowers cLogP by one log unit compared to the first-generation prototype CIQ. Additionally, R-(+)-EU-1180-453 was found to increase glutamate potency 2-fold, increase the response to maximally effective concentration of agonist 4-fold, and the racemate is brain-penetrant. These compounds are useful second-generation in vitro tools and a promising step toward in vivo tools for the study of positive modulation of GluN2C- and GluN2D-containing NMDA receptors.

KCNQ (Kv7) has emerged as a validated target for the development of novel anti-epileptic drugs. In this paper, a series of novel N-phenylbutanamide derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated as KCNQ openers for the treatment of epilepsy. These compounds were evaluated for their KCNQ opening activity in vitro and in vivo. Several compounds were found to be potent KCNQ openers. Compound 1 with favorable in vitro activity was submitted to evaluation in vivo. Results showed that compound 1 owned significant anti-convulsant activity with no adverse effects. It was also found to posses favorable pharmacokinetic profiles in rat. This research may provide novel potent compounds for the discovery of KCNQ openers in treating epilepsy.

Designing ligands with D1/D5 subtype selectivity is a challenge because of the high identity within the receptor helices. Based on the lead compounds 1-3, the thieno-benzazecine regioisomers 4 and 5 were synthesized and biologically evaluated for their affinity towards the five dopamine receptor subtypes utilizing a radioligand binding affinity technique. Within the D1-like family, compound 4 showed 20 fold selectivity for the D5 subtype over D1 subtype (Ki = 3 nM, D1: 60 nM), while its regioisomer, compound 5 with a reversed thiophene position, prefers the D1 subtype over the D5 subtype (Ki = 4 nM, D5: 15 nM). The benzothieno-benzazecine analog 6 was shown to be one of the few azecine derivatives with high affinity for both the D1- and the D2-like family members in the same order of magnitude (Ki = 1.5 nM for D2 and 1.9 nM for D5). Thorough analysis of the amino acid residues constituting the binding pockets of the target dopamine receptor subtypes revealed that at the D5 receptor, either serine S 6.62 and threonine T 7.33 residues or a water network, stabilized by anionic amino acids could contribute to the selectivity pattern of the synthesized compounds.

A simple and efficient 'one-pot' methodology was developed to generate a new series of tetrahydro-β-carboline (THBC), tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) and tetrahydrothienopyridine (THTP) derivatives. The key step of the methodology is based on a Pictet-Spengler type cyclization of a reactive N-carbamyliminium ion. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of a library of 32 compounds with potential anti-tumoral activity.
Reaction of InCl3 with various reducing agents: InCl 3-NaBH4-mediated reduction of aromatic and aliphatic nitriles to primary amines
Saavedra, Jaime Z.,Resendez, Angel,Rovira, Alexander,Eagon, Scott,Haddenham, Dustin,Singaram, Bakthan
experimental part, p. 221 - 228 (2012/02/05)
While alternative methods of preparing dichloroindium hydride (HInCl 2) via the in situ reduction of InCl3 using lithium amino borohydride (LAB) were explored, generation of HInCl2 from the reduction of InCl3 by sodium borohydride (NaBH4) was also re-evaluated for comparison. The reductive capability of the InCl 3/NaBH4 system was found to be highly dependent on the solvent used. Investigation by 11B NMR spectroscopic analyses indicated that the reaction of InCl3 with NaBH4 in THF generates HInCl2 along with borane-tetrahydrofuran (BH 3?THF) in situ. Nitriles underwent reduction to primary amines under optimized conditions at 25 °C using 1 equiv of anhydrous InCl 3 with 3 equiv of NaBH4 in THF. A variety of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic nitriles were reduced to their corresponding primary amine in 70-99% isolated yields. Alkyl halide and nitrile functional groups were reduced in tandem by utilizing the reductive capabilities of both HInCl2 and BH3?THF in a one-pot reaction. Finally, the selective reduction of the carbon bromine bond in the presence of nitriles was achieved by generating HInCl2 via the reduction InCl3 with NaBH4 in CH3CN or with lithium dimethylaminoborohydride (MeLAB) in THF.
