A new series of N-arylalkyl-substituted 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes and N-aryl-substituted 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanes were synthesized and evaluated as potential ligands for neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The in vitro binding affinities (Ki) of the 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane derivatives were measured by inhibition of [3H]cytisine binding to rat brain tissue, The most potent ligand of the series was found to be N-(3-pyridylmethyl)-7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (5b, Ki = 98 nM). The chloro analogue (5a, Ki = 245 nM) 5a and epibatidine (1) produced dose-dependent analgesia in both hotplate and tail-flick tests when administered subcutaneously. However, when compounds 1 and 5a,b were administered intrathecally, all produced analgesia in the tail-flick test but only 5a produced analgesia in the hotplate test.

Page/Page column 146-147, (2019/09/18)
This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and/or hydrate and/or prodrug of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonize) the apelin receptor (also referred to herein as the APJ receptor; gene symbol "APLNR"). This disclosure also features compositions containing the same as well as other methods of using and making the same. The chemical entities are useful, e.g., for treating a subject (e.g., a human) having a disease, disorder, or condition in which a decrease in APJ receptor activity (e.g., repressed or impaired APJ receptor signaling; e.g., repressed or impaired apelin-APJ receptor signaling) or downregulation of endogenous apelin contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the disease, disorder, or condition. Non-limiting examples of such diseases, disorders, or conditions include: (i) cardiovascular disease; (ii) metabolic disorders; (iii) diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with vascular pathology; and (iv) organ failure; (v) diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with infections (e.g., microbial infections); and (vi) diseases, disorders, or conditions that are sequela or comorbid with any of the foregoing or any disclosed herein. More particular non-limiting examples of such diseases, disorders, or conditions include pulmonary hypertension (e.g., PAH); heart failure; type II diabetes; renal failure; sepsis; and systemic hypertension.

Purpose: We have previously reported that some cationic fullerene derivatives exhibited anticancer activity, and they are expected to be a potential lead compound for an anti-drug resistant cancer agent. However, they are bis-adducts and a mixture of multiple regioisomers, which cannot be readily separated due to the variability of substituent positions on the fullerene cage. To overcome this issue, we evaluated the antiproliferative activities of a set of mono-adduct derivatives and examined their structure-activity relationship. In addition, the in vivo antitumor activity of selected derivatives was also examined. Methods: Nineteen pyridinium fullerene derivatives were newly designed and synthesized in this study. Their antiproliferative activities were evaluated using several cancer cell lines including drug-resistant cells. Furthermore, in vivo antitumor activity of several derivatives was investigated in mouse xenograft model of human lung cancer. Results: The derivatives inhibited the proliferation of cancer cell lines, including cisplatin-resistant cells and doxorubicin-resistant cells. It was also shown that compound 10 (10 μM), 13 (10 μM) and cis-14 (10 μM) induced the intracellular oxidative stress. In addition, compound 13 (20 mg/kg) and cis-14 (15 mg/kg) significantly exhibited antitumor activity in mouse xenograft model of human lung cancer. Conclusion: We synthesized a novel set of mono-adduct fullerene derivatives functionalized with pyridinium groups and found that most of them show potent antiproliferative activities against cancer cell lines and some of them show significant antitumor activities in vivo. We propose that these fullerene derivatives serve as the lead compounds for a novel type of antitumor agents.
