4-Oxo-1,4-dihydropyridines as Selective CB2 Cannabinoid Receptor Ligands: Structural Insights into the Design of a Novel Inverse Agonist Series
摘要:
Growing evidence shows that CB2 receptor is an attractive therapeutic target. Starting from a series of 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide as selective CB2 agonists, we describe here the medicinal chemistry approach leading to the development of CB2 receptor inverse agonists with a 4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyridine scaffold. The compounds reported here show high affinity and potency at the CB2, receptor while showing only modest affinity for the centrally expressed CB1 cannabinoid receptor. Further, we found that the functionality of this series is controlled by its C-6 substituent because agonists bear a methyl or a tert-butyl group and inverse agonists, a phenyl or 4-chlorophenyl group, respectively. Finally, in silico studies suggest that the C-6 substituent could modulate the conformation of W6.48 known to be critical in GPCR activation.
Reappraising the Structures and Distribution of Metabolites from Black Aspergilli Containing Uncommon 2-Benzyl-4H-pyran-4-one and 2-Benzylpyridin-4(1H)-one Systems
摘要:
To date, natural products containing 2-benzyl-4H-pyran-4-one and 2-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-one substructures have been encountered in relatively few fungi outside of the black aspergilli clade. While exploring the occurrence of these compounds among Aspergillus spp., it was determined that the structures of the unusual furopyrrols tensidols A and B (5 and 6) and JBIR-86 and JBIR-87 (9 and 10) were incorrect and should be reassigned as 2-benzyl-4H-pyran-4-ones (7, 8, lie, and 12, respectively). The origin of the unique N-phenyl groups in the 2-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ones nygerones A and B (1 and 2) were also examined, and it was established that N-phenylamides added to the culture medium were suitable substrates for generating these metabolites; however, this phenomenon remained limited to a single fungus in our collection (Aspergillus niger ATCC 1015). A variety of 2-benzyl-4H-pyran-4-ones and 2-benzylpyridin-4(1H)-ones were detected among the black aspergilli, but only pestalamide B (13) was found in all 11 of the tested strains. These metabolites, as well as a group of synthetic analogues, demonstrated weak antifungal activity against several Candida strains, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus fumigatus.
A silver‐catalyzed highly enantioselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction of α‐silylimines with pyrone‐based trisubstituted olefins was developed affording bi‐ and tricyclic α‐quaternary‐carbon‐rich pyrano‐pyrrolidines in excellent yields. The tricyclic benzopyrone adducts thus obtained were efficiently transformed into highly complex tetracyclic scaffolds supporting four consecutive stereogenic

conditions via organophotocatalyzed aerobic decarboxylative [2 + 2 + 1] annulation of chromones with N-arylglycines, in which N-arylglycines perform dual roles (i.e., radical precursor and methylene provider). Mechanistic studies suggested that a Giese-type radical addition and consequent Mannich pathway were likely responsible for the annulation reaction.

Treatment of 2-[(dimethylamino)methylene]-3-oxobutanoates 9 or 10 with LiN(SiMe3)2 in the presence of RCOCl results in C-acylation. The resulting intermediate, without isolation, may be converted to 6-R 3-Carbethoxy-4-pyrones (e.g., 12) by H3O+ or to the corresponding pyridinones (e.g., 13) by NH4OAc. Typically, yields are 55-75% for R groups lacking acidic alpha or gamma protons and ca. 30% for R = Me2CH or MeCH = CH. Replacing 9 with MeCOC(= CHNMe2)SCH2Ph (from MeCOCH2SCH2Ph and Me2NCH(OMe)2 similarly affords 3(PhCH2S)-substituted products such as 29. Alkylation of the pyridinone anions produces mixtures of N- and O-substituted compounds, with the latter predominating; aminolysis of the isolated pyrones (R'NH2-HOAc, where R' = alkyl, Ar, HO, etc.) is the preferred route to the 1-R'-substituted pyridinones.
