Enantiomeric propanolamines have been identified as a new class of NR2B-selective NMDA receptor antagonists. The most effective agents are biaryl structures, synthesized in six steps with overall yields ranging from 11-64%. The compounds are potent and selective inhibitors of NR2B-containing recombinant NMDA receptors with IC50 values between 30-100 nM. Potency is strongly controlled by substitution on both rings and the centrally located amine nitrogen. SAR analysis suggests that well-balanced polarity and chain-length factors provide the greatest inhibitory potency. Structural comparisons based on 3D shape analysis and electrostatic complementarity support this conclusion. The antagonists are neuroprotective in both in vitro and in vivo models of ischemic cell death. In addition, some compounds exhibit anticonvulsant properties. Unlike earlier generation NMDA receptor antagonists and some NR2B-selective antagonists, the present series of propanolamines does not cause increased locomotion in rodents. Thus, the NR2B-selective antagonists exhibit a range of therapeutically interesting properties.

A method has been developed for determining the enantiomeric purity and the absolute configuration of β-aminoalcohols of type ArOCH2CH(OH)CH2NHR (R = iPr, tBu). To determine enantiomeric purity, the amine function was first protected by a benzyl group, then the compound formed was esterified using the acid chloride of (R)-2-fluorophenylacetic acid (AFPA). The 19F NMR analysis of the derivative obtained revealed the presence of two distinctly separate signals (~2.5 ppm), the one for the RS-SR pair being the most deshielded. The configuration was determined directly on the aminoalcohol by using the acid. In stoichiometric conditions, when R = iPr, the amide function was obtained very preponderantly. The 19F NMR spectrum of the amide presented four distinct signals when derivatization was carried out by means of a reaction between the (±)-β-aminoalcohol and the (R)-AFPA. The extreme signals, which were over 3.5 ppm apart, did not belong to the same diastereomer. With R = tBu essentially the ester function was obtained. The first studies revealed the presence of two signals, though not as clearly separated as in the previous cases. Each experiment was simple to perform, and purification was not necessary. Mosher's acid gave unsatisfactory results in each case. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Synthesis and β-Adrenergic Antagonist Activity of Stereoisomeric Practolol and Propranolol Derivatives

A series of stereoisomeric practolol and propranolol derivatives has been synthesized in which the N-isopropyl group of the drug was replaced by an asymmetric heptanoic acid terminated by a substituted p-toluidide of p-(tri-fluoromethyl)anilide.The asymmetric epoxide, 3-(p-acetamidophenoxy)-1,2-epoxypropane, was allowed to react with a preformed enantiomeric 6-aminoheptanoic acid amide to yield the stereoisomeric practolol congener derivatives.An asymmetric drug precursor epoxide was prepared from p-acetamidophenol and enantiomeric 3-(tosyloxy)-1,2-epoxypropane (the Sharpless epoxide).For the propranolol congener derivatives, the preformed asymmetric 6-aminoheptanoic acid amides were allowed to react with one of the enantiomers of 3-(1-naphthyloxy)-1,2-epoxypropane.This drug precursor epoxide was prepared either by combining 1-naphthol with enantiomeric 3-(tosyloxy)-1,2-epoxypropane (the Sharpless epoxide) or by combining 1-naphthol with enantiomeric 3-(tosyloxy)-1,2-propanediol followed by epoxidation.Pharmacological studies carried out for the practolol derivatives demonstrated a significant dependence of enhanced potency and tissue/subreceptor specificity on both the configuration of the drug asymmetric carbon and the configuration of the spacer asymmetric carbon.The compounds containing the S configuration at the drug asymmetric center and the R configuration at the spacer asymmetric carbon exhibited an increase in potency over the other stereoisomeric congener derivatives and the progenitor drug.For the propranolol congener derivatives, a large decrease in potency was observed for all of the stereoisomers over the progenitor drug.The propranolol stereoisomers containing the S configuration at the drug asymmetric center were more active than those containing the R configuration at that center.
