G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of transmembrane receptors in eukaryotes. The adenosine A1 receptor (A1AR) is a class A GPCR that is of interest as a therapeutic target particularly in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and neuropathic pain. Increased knowledge of the role A1AR plays in mediating these pathophysiological processes will help realise the therapeutic potential of this receptor. There is a lack of enabling tools such as selective fluorescent probes to study A1AR, therefore we designed a series of (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinols conjugated to a fluorescent dye (31-35, 42-43). An improved procedure for the synthesis of isoquinolinols from tetrahydroisoquinolinols via oxidation with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) and atmospheric oxygen is reported. This synthetic method offers advantages over previous metal-based methods for the preparation of isoquinolinols and isoquinolines, which are important scaffolds found in many biologically active compounds and natural products. We report the first synthesis of the (benzimidazolyl)isoquinolinol compound class, however the fluorescent conjugates were not successful as A1AR fluorescent ligands.

The subject matter herein concerns the identification and development of potent synthetic REV-ERB ligands, such as in vivo agonists and antagonists. These compounds allow for characterization of the effects of modulation of this receptor in vivo specifically on circadian behavior and metabolism, and have suitable characteristics for development of medicinal compounds useful for treatment of malconditions such as diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, a circadian rhythm disorder, coronary artery disease, bipolar disorder, depression, cancer, a sleep disorder, an anxiety disorder, an addiction disorder, a bone-related disorder such osteoporosis, a skeletal muscle disease, e.g., with compromised exercise capacity, or an autoimmune disorder such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and others.
