Design and Synthesis of Novel α1a Adrenoceptor-Selective Dihydropyridine Antagonists for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
摘要:
We report the synthesis and evaluation of novel alpha(1a) adrenoceptor subtype-selective antagonists. Systematic modification of the lipophilic 4,4-diphenylpiperidinyl moiety of the dihydropyridine derivatives 1 and 2 provided several highly selective and potent alpha(1a), antagonists. From this series, we identified the 4-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-phenylpiperidine analogue SNAP 5540 (-) [(-)-63] for further characterization. When examined in an isolated human prostate tissue assay, this compound was found to have a K-i of 2.8 nM, in agreement with the cloned human receptor binding data (K-i = 2.42 nM). Further evaluation of the compound in isolated dog prostate tissue showed a K-i of 3.6 nM and confirmed it to be a potent antagonist (K-b = 1.6 nM). In vivo, this compound effectively blocked the phenylephrine-stimulated increase in intraurethral pressure (IUP) in mongrel dogs, at doses which did not significantly affect the arterial pressure (diastolic blood pressure, DBP), with a DBP K-b/IUP K-b ratio of 16. In addition, (-)-63 also showed greater than 40 000-fold selectivity over the rat L-type calcium channel and 200-fold selectivity over several G protein-coupled receptors, including histamine and serotonin subtypes. These findings prove that alpha(1a) adrenoceptor-subtype selective antagonists such as (-)-63 may be developed as uroselective agents for an improved treatment of BPH over nonselective alpha(1) antagonists such as prazosin and terazosin, with fewer side effects.
utilized as an efficient heterogeneous recyclable catalyst for Knoevenagel condensationbetween poorly reactive β-diketones and aldehydes under solvent-free conditions. This protocol also works well with more reactive β-ketoesters. The condensation is efficient, clean, and mild. The scope and generality of the Knoevenagel condensation were investigated. The procedure led only to the Knoevenagel product,

lipase‐catalyzed tandemreaction toward α,β‐enones/enoesters is presented. For the synthesis of the desired products the tandem process based on enzyme‐catalyzed hydrolysis and Knoevenagel reaction starting from enol acetates and aldehyde is developed. The relevant impact of the reaction conditions including organic solvent, enzyme type, and temperature on the course of the reaction was revealed. It

Two series of novel 1,5-benzothiazepine derivatives (23 compounds) were efficiently synthesized and evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The results indicated that the compounds possessed a broad spectrum of activity against the tested microorganisms and showed higher activity against fungi than bacteria. Compound 2e exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity. Preliminary study
A new protocol for the Knoevenagel condensation between β-diketones and aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes promoted by Mg(ClO4)2 under mild conditions is reported.

A straightforward, efficient, and reliable approach to synthetically valuable 2,3-dihydrofurans via a reaction between Corey ylide and α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. The use of simple and widely spread starting materials as well as mild reaction conditions and scalability provide a broad scope of 2,3-dihydrofurans.
