Selective blockade of the orexin-1 receptor (OX1) has been suggested as a potential approach to drug addiction therapy because of its role in modulating the brain's reward system. We have recently reported a series of tetrahydroisoquinoline-based OX1 selective antagonists. Aimed at elucidating structure-activity relationship requirements in other regions of the molecule and further enhancing OX1 potency and selectivity, we have designed and synthesized a series of analogues bearing a variety of substituents at the 1-position of the tetrahydroisoquinoline. The results show that an optimally substituted benzyl group is required for activity at the OX1 receptor. Several compounds with improved potency and/or selectivity have been identified. When combined with structural modifications that were previously found to improve selectivity, we have identified compound 73 (RTIOX-251) with an apparent dissociation constant (Ke) of 16.1 nM at the OX1 receptor and >620-fold selectivity over the OX2 receptor. In vivo, compound 73 was shown to block the development of locomotor sensitization to cocaine in rats. (Chemical Equation Presented).

A chiral precursor of Mivacurium chloride, (R)-5′-methoxylaudanosine, was prepared using two different methods. The chiral resolution of racemic 5′-methoxylaudanosine, typically used in industry, was carried out in parallel with a procedure consisting of

A new series of hybrids of lamellarin D and combretastatin A 4, 1,2-diphenyl-5,6-dihydropyrrolo [2,1-a] isoquinolines, were designed as cytotoxic agents based on principles of combination in medicinal chemistry and taking the parent compounds' different anti-proliferative mechanisms into consideration. Twenty-two novel hybrids were synthesized through a convenient route, with a key step of core pyrrole formation and evaluated for their anti-proliferative activities in vitro against K-562, A-549, SMMC-7721, SGC-7901 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. The results showed that some hybrids had good anti-proliferative activities in low IC50 ranges.

Short acting reversible neuromuscular blocking agents of the formula (I) STR1 where B and C is preferably meta or maybe para STR2 where m is 2, 3 or 4 and is preferably 2, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 are the same or different and are hydrogen or lower alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms Y is lower alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms n is 2, 3 or 4, most preferably 3, provided that at least one of R1 to R4 and one of R5 to R7 is lower alkoxy and X is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion. These neuromuscular blocking agents of formula I are useful upon administration to a patient in providing muscular relaxation in the patient during surgery and are normally intravenously administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
