Despite the therapeutic potential of marine-derived lamellarin natural products, their preclinical development has been hampered by their lipophilic nature, causing very poor aqueous solubility. In order to develop more drug-like analogs, their structure was streamlined in this study from both the cytotoxic activity and lipophilicity standpoints. First, a modified total synthetic route was successfully devised to construct a library of 59 systematically designed lamellarin analogs, which were then subjected to cytotoxicity and log P determinations. Along with the 25 first-generation lamellarins previously synthesized in our laboratory, the structure-activity and structure-lipophilicity relationships were extensively evaluated. Our results clearly indicated the additional structural requirements around the lamellarin skeleton which, when combined with those reported previously, can provide invaluable guidance for further modifications to increase the aqueous solubility of these compounds.

Nineteen arylethanolamine derivatives related to norepinephrine were prepared and tested for α-adrenergic stimulant activity.In one series the analogues possess a p-hydroxy function, while the meta position is substituted by methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, cyclohexyl, fluoro, chloro, iodo, carboxy, carbomethoxy, and methylsulfamido groups.The other series is meta hydroxylated with the para position substituted by the same groups.The influence of these groups upon the α-adrenergic activity is discussed, and the compounds are compared to octopamine, normetanephrine,norepinephrine, and norphenylephrine.It has been found that the introduction of an isopropyl, cyclohexyl, and fluoro group in the meta position of octopamine improves its affinity by three, five, and six times, respectively, whereas when these groups are introduced in the para position of norphenylephrine their effects are always detrimental.The most active compound, α-(aminomethyl)-(4-fluoro-3-hydroxyphenyl)methanol (44), has about one-hundreth the affinity and the same intrinsic activity as norepinephrine.
