SMALL MOLECULES THAT TARGET THE RNA THAT CAUSES ALS
-
Paragraph 00257-00258, (2022/04/03)
Disclosed herein are compounds that selectively bind an expanded transcribed repeat r(G4C2)exp, prevent sequestration of RNA-binding proteins, and inhibit translation of repeat associated non-ATG (RAN) translation responsible for generation of toxic dipeptide repeats underlying diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions are useful in treating a disease or condition characterized by an expanded G4C2 repeat RNA (r(G4C2)exp), such as ALS and FTD.
An Improved Synthesis of 1-(1,2,3,6-Tetrahydro-1-methyl-4- Pyridinyl)ethanone, Isoarecolone
Beach, J. Warren
, p. 1861 - 1863 (2007/10/03)
A convenient synthesis of 1-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-4-pyridinyl)ethanone, isoarecolone, starting with 4-acetylpyridine is presented. 4-Acetylpyridine was protected as the ketal followed by reaction with iodomethane to give the quaterary salt. The quaterary salt was reduced with sodium borohydride followed by deprotection to give isoarecolone in 80% overall yield.
