2-Pyridinyl-3-(4-methylsulfonyl)phenylpyridines: selective and orally active cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors

A series of novel 2-pyridinyl-3-(4-methylsulfonyl)phenylpyridines has been synthesized and evaluated with respect to their ability to inhibit the isozymes of cyclooxygenase, COX-1, and COX-2. Optimum COX-2 activity is observed by introduction of a substituent at C5 of the central pyridine. 5- Chloro-3-(4-methylsulfonyl)phenyl-2-(2-methyl-5-pyridinyl)pyridine 33 was identified as the optimum compound in this series.     

Potential antitumor agents. 14. 4-Substituted 2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazones

A series of 4-substituted 2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazones has been synthesized which contain a tertiary N at the 4 position. These materials were obtained by reacting 4-nitro-2-picoline N-oxide, either directly or after conversion to the corresponding 4-chloro derivative, with a variety of secondary amines. Rearrangement of the 4-substituted 2-picoline N-oxides with Ac2O yielded respective methyl acetates, which upon acid hydrolysis, MnO2 oxidation, and reaction with thiosemicarbazide resulted in the desired compounds. An alternate procedure which consisted of reacting 4-chloro-2-formylpyridine ethylene acetal with various amines, followed by hydrolysis and reaction with thiosemicarbazide, was also employed. Introduction of an alkyl group at the 3 position of the pyridine ring of 4-morpholino-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone was achieved by utilizing 2,3-dimethyl-4-nitropyridine N-oxide; this material was converted to the corresponding 4-chloro derivative which was then subjected to nucleophilic substitution. 4-Morpholino-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone was the most active antineoplastic agent of this series in mice bearing Sarcoma 180 ascites cells and was significantly superior to 5-hydroxy-2-formylpyridine thiosemicarbazone in this test system.     

4-Alkylpiperidines related to SR-48968: potent antagonists of the neurokinin-2 (NK2) receptor

A series of 4-alkylpiperidine derivatives related to the potent neurokinin-2 (NK2) receptor antagonist SR-48968 (1) is described. Simple aliphatic derivatives were found to be poorly active, but appropriate placement of an alcohol functional group afforded compounds that were of similar activity to 1. Several representatives in this series, such as the 4-(1-hydroxy-1-ethylpropyl)piperidine (14), were found to exhibit oral activity in a model of labored abdominal breathing in guinea pigs. These results expand the latitude of substituents available in this region of this series of NK2 receptor antagonists.     

Synthesis and Luminescence Properties of Red Phosphors:Mn2+ Doped MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

Sol-gel method was utilized to synthesize two different series of red silicate phosphors:MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 powder samples doped with Mn2 , conducted the investigation of red long-lasting phosphor: MgSiO3:Eu2 , Dy3 , Mn2 . TGA curves of the gel precursor for two series depicted that the loss of residual organic groups and NO3 groups occurs below 450 ℃. According to the XRD patterns, the major diffraction peaks of the MgSiO3 and Mg2SiO4 series are consistent with a proto-enstatite structure (JCPDS No.11-0273) and a forsterite structure (JCPDS No.85-1364) respectively. With the excitation at 415 nm, the red emission band of Mn2 ions is peaked at 661 nm for MgSiO3:1%(atom fraction) Mn2 or 644 nm for Mg2SiO4:1%(atom fraction) Mn2 . Compared with Mg2SiO4:Mn2 samples, MgSiO3:Mn2 samples exhibit higher luminescence intensity and higher quenching concentration. In addition, the two series co-doped with Eu2 , Dy3 , Mn2 were also prepared. Photo-luminescence and afterglow properties of the two co-doped series were analyzed, which show that MgSiO3:Eu2 , Dy3 , Mn2 is more suitable for a red long-lasting phosphor.     

N-(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl)-4-chlorocinnamide: a novel antagonist at the 1A/2B NMDA receptor subtype

A series of N-(2-phenethyl)cinnamides was synthesized and assayed for antagonism at three N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) receptor subtypes (NR1A/2A-C). N-(2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl)-4-chlorocinnamide (6) was identified as a highly potent and selective antagonist of the NR1A/2B subtype.     

2-Phenyl-4-(aminomethyl)imidazoles as potential antipsychotic agents. Synthesis and dopamine D2 receptor binding

A series of 2-phenyl-4-(aminomethyl)imidazoles were designed as conformationally restricted analogs of the dopamine D2 selective benzamide antipsychotics. The title compounds were synthesized and tested for blockade of [3H]YM-09151 binding in cloned African green monkey dopamine D2 receptor preparations. The binding affinity data thus obtained were compared against that of the benzamides and a previously described series of 2-phenyl-5-(aminomethyl)-pyrroles.     

N-[2-[4-(4-Chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethyl]-3-methoxybenzamide: a potent and selective dopamine D4 ligand

A series of new 1-aryl-4-alkylpiperazines containing a terminal benzamide fragment or a tetralin-1-yl nucleus on the alkyl chain were synthesized and tested for binding at cloned human dopamine D4 and D2 receptor subtypes. A SAFIR (structure-affinity relationship) study on this series is herein discussed. The most relevant D4 receptor affinities were displayed by N-[omega-[4-arylpiperazin-1-yl]alkyl]-methoxybenzamides (compounds 5, 16-20), their IC50 values ranging between 0.057 and 7.8 nM. Among these, N-[2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)piperazin-1-yl]ethyl]-3-methoxybenzamide (17) emerged since it exhibited very high affinity for dopamine D4 receptor (IC50 = 0.057 nM) with selectivity of >10 000 for the D4 versus the D2 receptor; compound 17 was also selective versus serotonin 5-HT1A and adrenergic alpha1 receptors.

Experimental antiulcer drugs. 2. 2-Substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,3,4,6,6-pentamethylcyclopenta[c]pyrrole-4-carboxamides

Condensation of a 1-substituted 2,5-dimethylpyrrole 6 with 2 mol of 2-amino-2-methylpropionitrile in hot acetic acid yielded a 2-substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydro-1,3,4,5,6,6-pentamethylcyclopenta[c]pyrrole-4-carbonitrile (4). Hydrolysis of the nitriles to the amides gave a group of compounds which were active as antisecretory agents in the pyloric-ligated rat. Outstanding in this respect was the 2-phenyl derivative 5b, the most active compound in the series. It did not possess anticholinergic properties. In contrast to the indoles and pyrroles reported earlier, 5b demonstrated marked activity in blocking gastric acid secretion in the histamine-stimulated dog.     

(2Z,4E)-5-(5,6-dichloro-2-indolyl)-2-methoxy-N-(1,2,2,6,6- pentamethylpiperidin-4-yl)-2,4-pentadienamide, a novel, potent and selective inhibitor of the osteoclast V-ATPase

Optimisation of a novel series of osteoclast ATPase inhibitors led to (2Z,4E)-5-(5,6-dichloro-2-indolyl)-2-methoxy-N-(1,2,2,6,6- pentamethylpiperidin-4-yl)-2,4-pentadienamide (1) that was the most potent compound in an in vitro osteoclast ATPase assay and in human bone resorption assays. Two of the possible geometric isomers have also been prepared and shown to be significantly less potent than 1.     

Synthetic approaches to 2-(4-hydroxy-7-chromanyl)benzoic acids as antagonists of leukotriene B4

Structural modification of 1 led to a series of 2-(4-hydroxy-7-chromanyl)benzoic acid LTB4 antagonists exemplified by 2 and 3. The use of an organostannane biaryl coupling, a non steroselective reduction and a chromatographic resolution limited the utility of this synthetic route. To address these issues, a new synthetic route was developed utilizing a palladium catalyzed coupling of aryl oxazolines in tandem with a stereospecific enone reduction as key synthetic steps. Resolution was achieved by fractional crystallization of a (S)-(-)-alpha-methylbenzylamine salt.

Of the compounds obtained, cyclohexylmethyl and ethoxyethyl derivatives were identified as a novel class of anti-H. pylori agents which possessed potent and selective antimicrobial activity against H. pylori. These compounds also showed gastric antisecretory activity.     

(3R,4S)-3-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]chroman-4,7-diol: a conformationally restricted analogue of the NR2B subtype-selective NMDA antagonist (1S,2S)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidino)- 1-propanol

(1S,2S)-1-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxy-4-phenylpiperidino)-1-propanol (CP-101,606, 1) is a recently described antagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors containing the NR2B subunit. In the present study, the optimal orientation of compounds of this structural type for their receptor was explored. Tethering of the pendent methyl group of 1 to the phenolic aromatic ring via an oxygen atom prevents rotation about the central portion of the molecule. Several of the new chromanol compounds have high affinity for the racemic [3H]CP-101,606 binding site on the NMDA receptor and protect against glutamate toxicity in cultured hippocampal neurons. The new ring caused a change in the stereochemical preference of the receptor-cis (erythro) compounds had better affinity for the receptor than the trans isomers. Computational studies suggest that steric interactions between the pendent methyl group and the phenol ring in the acyclic series determine which structures can best fit the receptor. The chromanol analogue, (3R,4S)-3-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1- yl]chroman-4,7-diol (12a, CP-283,097), was found to possess potency and selectivity comparable to CP-101,606. Thus 12a is a new tool to explore the function of the NR2B-containing NMDA receptors.

Catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde over CeO_2-Co_3O_4 catalysts

A series of CeO_2-Co_3O_4 mixed oxide catalysts with different Co/(Co+Ce) atomic ratios were synthesized by citric acid sol-gel method and used for catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde(HCHO). Many techniques such as Brumauer-Emmett-Teller(BET), X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), temperature programmed reduction(H_2-TPR), temperature-programmed desorption(O_2-TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) were used to characterize catalysts. The results of catalytic performance tests showed that the catalyst CeO_2-Co_3O_4 with Co/(Co+Ce) ratio of 0.95 exhibited the best performance, and the temperature of complete oxidation of HCHO was 80 oC. The analytical results indicated that the addition of CeO_2 enhanced the specific surface area of Co_3O_4 and the fine dispersion of both of them. Moreover, the strong interaction between CeO_2 and Co_3O_4 resulted in the unique redox properties, which enhanced the available surface active oxygen and led to high valence state of cobalt oxide species. All those effects played crucial roles in the excellent performance of CeO_2-Co_3O_4 for the HCHO oxidation.
