The Serotonin 5-HT4 Receptor. 2. Structure-Activity Studies of the Indole Carbazimidamide Class of Agonists
摘要:
A number of substituted indole carbazimidamides were prepared and evaluated as 5-HT4 receptor agonists by using the isolated field-stimulated guinea pig ileum preparation. Their selectivity for the 5-HT4 receptor was established by examining their affinity for other 5-HT receptors using radioligand-binding techniques. Several selective and highly potent full as well as partial agonists emerged from this study. For example, 1b,d were found to be the most potent, full 5-HT4 receptor agonists described so far (EC(50) = 0.5 and 0.8 nM, respectively), being 6 and 4 times more potent than serotonin itself. On the other hand, 5b and 1h appeared as partial 5-HT4 receptor agonists in the nonstimulated guinea pig ileum preparation with potencies, evaluated against serotonin action, respectively similar (5b, K-i = 12 nM) to and 300-fold higher (1h, K-i = 0.04 nM) than serotonin.

The present invention refers to a new addition salt of N-amino-N'-pentylguanidine, particularly to the oxalate addition salt of N-amino-N'-pentylguanidine. The process for preparing said oxalate addition salt comprises the steps of: a) reacting the N-amino-N'-pentylguanidine, as a free base or in a salt form, with oxalic acid in a polar medium; and b) recovering the product in a solid form.
This addition salt is useful for obtaining the tegaserod free base with a better purity and yield.
Attempts to synthesize impurities of Gastro prokinetic drug tegaserod maleate, Three unknown impurities in tegaserod maleate bulk drug at level below 0.1% (ranging from 0.05 to 0.1 %) were detected by simple reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These impurities were preliminarily identified with LCMS and by knowing the mass of the impurities, different experiments were conducted
