It has been demonstrated previously that the endogenous compound N-arachidonyl-glycine inhibits the glycine transporter GlyT2, stimulates glycinergic neurotransmission, and provides analgesia in animal models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain. However, it is a relatively weak inhibitor with an IC50 of 9 μM and is subject to oxidation via cyclooxygenase, limiting its therapeutic value. In this paper we describe the synthesis and testing of a novel series of monounsaturated C18 and C16 acyl-glycine molecules as inhibitors of the glycine transporter GlyT2. We demonstrate that they are up to 28 fold more potent that N-arachidonyl-glycine with no activity at the closely related GlyT1 transporter at concentrations up to 30 μM. This novel class of compounds show considerable promise as a first generation of GlyT2 transport inhibitors.

Phosphonium-based Ionic Liquids (PhosILs) with natural organic derived anions (l-lactate, l-tartrate, malonate, succinate, l-malate, pyruvate, d-glucuronate, d-galacturonate, ferulate, p-coumarate) were easily prepared by acid-base method from tetrabutylphosphonium hydroxide and an excess of the corresponding acid with good yields. Their characterization was realized through classical NMR, IR and elemental analysis techniques; their viscosity and ATG parameters were also determined. These ionic liquids showed good performance and recyclability in the selective Pd-catalyzed hydrogenation of alkenes, polyenes like linoleic acid and enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated ketones such as isophorone at room temperature under atmospheric H2 pressure. Furthermore, NMR studies leading to computational calculations were performed to establish easily the composition of the resulting mixture obtained through the hydrogenation of linoleic acid.
