Different synthetic approaches to functionally substituted benzylamines were examined: reductive amination of alkyl aryl ketones and reduction of aromatic aldehyde oximes. The most efficient procedures were used to prepare a series of previously unknown hydroxy-, alkoxy-, and halogen-substituted benzylamines.

Expression Of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is associated with the development of many pathologic conditions. The product of COX-2, prostaglandin H(2) (PGH(2)), can spontaneously rearrange to form reactive gamma-ketoaldehydes called levuglandins (LGs). This gamma-keloaldehyde structure confers a high degree of reactivity on the LGs, which rapidly form covalent adducts with primary amines of protein residues. Formation of LG adducts of proteins has been demonstrated in pathologic conditions (e.g., increased levels in the hippocampus in Alzheimer's disease) and during physiologic function (platelet activation). On the basis of knowledge that lipid modification of proteins is known to cause their translocation and to alter their function. we hypothesize that modification of proteins by LG could have functional consequences. Testing this hypothesis requires an experimental approach that discriminates between the effects of protein modification by LG and the, effects of cyclooxygenase-derived prostanoids acting through their G-protein Coupled receptors. TO achieve this goal, we have synthesized and evaluated it series of scavengers that react with LG with a potency More than 2 orders of magnitude greater than that with the epsilon-amine of lysine. A Subset of these scavengers are shown to block the formation of LG adducts of proteins in cells without inhibiting the catalytic activity of the cyclooxygenases. Ten of these selective scavengers did not produce cytotoxicity. These results demonstrate that small molecules can scavenge LGs in cells without interfering with the formation of prostaglandins. They also provide a working hypothesis for the development of pharmacologic agents that could be used in experimental animals in vivo to assess the pathophysiological contribution of levuglandins in diseases associated with cyclooxygenase up-regulation.

The variable coordination behavior of 2-[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)imino]methyl}-6-methoxyphenol (H2L) and its hydrolyzed congener towards NiCl2·6H2O and LnIII nitrate salts provides a family of coordination aggregates containing an [Ni5Ln3] octanuclear core structure. Room temperature reactions in MeOH−CHCl3 medium and in the presence of NEt3 yielded isostructural [Ni5Ln3(L)4(μ-OH)2(μ3-OH)6(o-val)2(H2O)6]NO3·7H2O
