Background. Glucocorticoid excess has been linked to clinical observations associated with the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. The intracellular glucocorticoid levels are primarily modulated by 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme that is highly expressed in key metabolic tissues including fat, liver, and the central nervous system. Methods. In this study we synthesized a set of novel tetrahydrothiazolopyridine derivatives, TR-01-4, that specifically target 11β-HSD1 and studied their ability to interfere with the glucocorticoid and lipid metabolism in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Results. Based on the docking model and structure-activity relationships, tetrahydrothiazolopyridine derivatives TR-02 and TR-04 showed the highest potency against 11β-HSD1 by dose-dependently inhibiting conversion of cortisone to cortisol (IC50 values of 1.8 μM and 0.095 μM, resp.). Incubation of fat cells with 0.1-10 μM TR-01-4 significantly decreased cortisone-induced lipid accumulation in adipocytes and suppressed 11β-HSD1 mRNA expression. Observed reduction in adipocyte fat stores could be partially explained by decreased expression levels of adipogenic markers (PPAR-γ, aP2) and key enzymes of lipid metabolism, including fatty acid synthase (FAS), hormone sensitive lipase (HSL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Conclusions. The tetrahydrothiazolopyridine moiety served as an active pharmacophore for inhibiting 11β-HSD1 and offered a novel therapeutic strategy to ameliorate metabolic alterations found in obesity and diabetes.

Potent monocarboxylate transporter 1 inhibitors (MCT1) have been developed based on α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid template. Structure-activity relationship studies demonstrate that the introduction of p-N, N-dialkyl/diaryl, and o-methoxy groups into cyanocinnamic acid has maximal MCT1 inhibitory activity. Systemic toxicity studies in healthy ICR mice with few potent MCT1 inhibitors indicate normal body weight gains in treated animals. In vivo tumor growth inhibition studies in colorectal adenocarcinoma (WiDr cell line) in nude mice xenograft models establish that compound 27 exhibits single agent activity in inhibiting the tumor growth.

Milk and cheese are expensive foodstuffs, and their consumption is spread among the population because of their high nutritional value; for this reason they are often subjected to adulterations. Among the common illegal practices, the addition of powdered

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI-IMS) has become a method of choice in lipid analysis, as it provides localization information for defined lipids that is not readily accessible with nonmass spectrometric methods. Most current MALDI matrices have been found empirically. Nevertheless, preferential matrix properties for many analyte classes are poorly understood and may differ between lipid classes. We used rational matrix design and semiautomated screening for the discovery of new matrices suitable for MALDI-IMS of lipids. Utilizing Smartbeam- and nitrogen lasers for MALDI, we systematically compared doubly substituted α-cyanocinnamic acid derivatives (R1-CCA-R2) with respect to their ability to serve as negative ion matrix for various brain lipids. We identified 4-phenyl-α-cyanocinnamic acid amide (Ph-CCA-NH 2) as a novel negative ion matrix that enables analysis and imaging of various lipid classes by MALDI-MS. We demonstrate that Ph-CCA-NH2 displays superior sensitivity and reproducibility compared to matrices commonly employed for lipids. A relatively small number of background peaks and good matrix suppression effect could make Ph-CCA-NH2 a widely applicable tool for lipid analysis.

As part of a program to develop site-specific medications for cocaine abuse, a series of 2-(aminomethyl)-3-phenylbicyclo[2.2.2]- and -[2.2.1]alkane derivatives was synthesized and tested for inhibitory potency in [3H]WIN 35,428 binding and [3H]dopamine uptake assays using rat striatal tissue. Selected compounds were tested for their ability to substitute for cocaine in rat drug discrimination tests. Synthesis was accomplished by a series of Diels-Alder reactions, using cis- and trans-cinnamic acid derivatives (nitrile, acid, acid chloride) with cyclohexadiene and cyclopentadiene. Standard manipulations produced the aminomethyl side chain. Many of the compounds bound with high affinity (median IC50 = 223 nM) to the cocaine binding site as marked by [3H]WIN 35,428. Potency in the binding assay was strongly enhanced by chlorine atoms in the 3- and/or 4-position on the aromatic ring and was little affected by corresponding methoxy groups. In the [2.2.2] series there was little difference in potency between cis and trans compounds or between N,N-dimethylamines and primary amines. In the [2.2.1] series the trans exo compounds tended to be least potent against binding, whereas the cis exo compounds were the most potent (4-Cl cis exo: IC50 = 7.7 nM, 27-fold more potent than 4-Cl trans-exo). Although the potencies of the bicyclic derivatives in the binding and uptake assays were highly correlated, some of the compounds were 5-7-fold less potent at inhibiting [3H]-dopamine uptake than [3H]WIN 35,428 binding (for comparison, cocaine has a lower discrimination ratio (DR) of 2.5). The DR values were higher for almost all primary amines and for the trans-[2.2.2] series as compared to the cis-[2.2.2]. Most of the compounds had Hill coefficients approaching unity, except for the [2.2.2] 3,4-dichloro derivatives, which all had n(H) values of about 2.0. Two of the compounds were shown to fully substitute for cocaine in drug discrimination tests in rats, and one had a very long duration of action.
CINETIQUE ET MECANISME DE LA REACTION DE KNOEVENAGEL DANS LE BENZENE-2 REACTION DU MALONITRILE ET DE LA (+) METHYL-3 CYCLOHEXANONE EN PRESENCE D'UNE AMINE PRIMARIE PURE ET DE SON MELANGE AVEC L'ACIDE ACETIQUE

The kinetics of the reaction of (+)-3-methyl cyclohexanone with malonitrile were studied in benzene at 25 deg C, in the presence of hexylamine-acetic acid mixtures.Hexylamine gives an imine with cyclohexanone in an acid-catalyzed step.This imine then reacts quickly with malononitrile.A rate law of zero order in malononitrile is observed.Separate kinetic results obtained for the formation of the imine and for the imine-malonitrile reaction support this mechanism.Without acetic acid, a complex rate law is observed; hexylamine acts mainly as a basic catalyst.Primary amine-carboxylic acid was used as a catalyst in Knoevenagel reaction, often giving an increase in yield and a diminution in the reaction time compared with the more commonly used catalysts: piperidine, β-alanine, AcOH-AcONH4.
