These compounds inhibit the enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT). The compounds may be used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, depression, cognitive impairment and motor symptoms, resistant depression, cognitive impairment, mood and negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
A CuBr2 catalyzed alkynylation of tertiary methylamines with terminalalkynes has been developed. Compared with the recent alkenylations, which mostly focused on aromatic methylamines, this transformation shows good reactivity to aliphatic tertiary methylamines. The reaction proceeds under room temperature using aqueous TBHP without the requirement of an inert atmosphere.

A cell line in which RD-HGA16 cells were stably transfected with the hTAAR 1 receptor was created and utilized to carry out a systematic evaluation of a series of beta-phenethylamines. Fair agreement was observed with data obtained for aryl and ethylene chain substituted analogs in an AV12-664 cell line in which hemagglutinin-tagged hTAAR 1 was stably co-expressed with rat Gas. Analogs with multiple substituents as well as analogs with bulky groups were found to be partial agonists. Analogs in which the primary amino group was converted to a secondary or a tertiary amino group by N-methylation were also partial agonists. Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) using the potency data yielded a regression coefficient r(2) of 0.824. The steric field contribution to the model was 61% with the balance (39%) contributed by the electrostatic field. The collective results suggest that increasing steric bulk both at the amino nitrogen, particularly by N-dimethylation, and at the 4-position of the aromatic ring leads to low efficacy ligands.
