Background and Purpose: 4-Methyl-N-methylcathinone (mephedrone) is a synthetic stimulant that acts as a substrate-type releaser at transporters for dopamine (DAT), noradrenaline (NET) and 5-HT (SERT). Upon systemic administration, mephedrone is metabolized to several phase I compounds: the N-demethylated metabolite, 4-methylcathinone (nor-mephedrone); the ring-hydroxylated metabolite, 4-hydroxytolylmephedrone (4-OH-mephedrone); and the reduced keto-metabolite, dihydromephedrone. Experimental Approach: We used in vitro assays to compare the effects of mephedrone and synthetically prepared metabolites on transporter-mediated uptake and release in HEK293 cells expressing human monoamine transporters and in rat brain synaptosomes. In vivo microdialysis was employed to examine the effects of i.v. metabolite injection (1 and 3?mg·kg?1) on extracellular dopamine and 5-HT levels in rat nucleus accumbens. Key Results: In cells expressing transporters, mephedrone and its metabolites inhibited uptake, although dihydromephedrone was weak overall. In cells and synaptosomes, nor-mephedrone and 4-OH-mephedrone served as transportable substrates, inducing release via monoamine transporters. When administered to rats, mephedrone and nor-mephedrone produced elevations in extracellular dopamine and 5-HT, whereas 4-OH-mephedrone did not. Mephedrone and nor-mephedrone, but not 4-OH-mephedrone, induced locomotor activity. Conclusions and Implications: Our results demonstrate that phase I metabolites of mephedrone are transporter substrates (i.e. releasers) at DAT, NET and SERT, but dihydromephedrone is weak in this regard. When administered in vivo, nor-mephedrone increases extracellular dopamine and 5-HT in the brain whereas 4-OH-mephedrone does not, suggesting the latter metabolite does not penetrate the blood–brain barrier. Future studies should examine the pharmacokinetics of nor-mephedrone to determine its possible contribution to the in vivo effects produced by mephedrone.

Page/Page column 111, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates generally to bis-amide group containing pharmaceutical agents, and in particular, to multicyclic bis-amide MMP-13 inhibitor compounds. More particularly, the present invention provides a new class of MMP-13 inhibiting compounds, containing a pyrimidinyl bis-amide group in combination with a heterocyclic moiety, that exhibit an increased potency and solubility in relation to currently known bis-amide group containing MMP-13 inhibitors.

Two novel approaches to N,N-diprotected chiral α-amino acid esters, based on selected imidodicarbonates as amine synthons, have been explored.Thus, N-alkylation of these substrates was smoothly accomplished by the Gabriel or Mitsunobu methods as well as by the use of triflates.Ethyl (R,S)-2-bromopropionate underwent nucleophilic substitution when treated with the potassium salt of selected imidodicarbonates in dry dimethylformamide to furnish the corresponding fully blocked (R,S)-alanines in high yield. the chirality of ethyl (S)-lactate was largely conserved when it was condensed with free imidodicarbonates and tosylcarbamates under conventional Mitsunobu conditions.The yield of the corresponding N,N-di-protected ethyl (R)-alaninate was strongly dependent of the electron-withdrawing properties of the imidodicarbonate alkyl groups.Thus, Boc2NH gave 5 percent of the product whereas Troc-NH-Z afforded the corresponding analogue in 83 percent yield under comparable conditions.On the other hand, triflates of various lactic acid esters reacted smoothly with the lithium salt of Boc2NH, also with clean inversion, as a result of which, after selective removal of two blocking groups, the N-protected alanine of opposite configuration could be isolated in high yield and excellent stereochemical purity.Both methods have been used for the synthesis of 15N-labelled N-protected (R)- and (S)-alanines, suitable for direct application to peptide synthesis.
