Synthesis of Oxadiazolidinedione Derivatives as Quisqualic Acid Analogs and Their Evaluation at a Quisqualate-Sensitized Site in the Rat Hippocampus
摘要:
The ability of quisqualic acid (1) to sensitize neurons to depolarization by omega-phosphono alpha-amino acid analogues of excitatory amino acids is a highly specific phenomenon and is termed the QUIS. effect. In an attempt to elucidate the structure-activity relationships for this sensitization, analogues 2-6 of quisqualic acid have been synthesized. Compounds 4, 5, and 6 showed no quisqualate sensitization with respect to L-2-amino-6-phosphonohexanoic acid (L-AP6), while compounds 2 and 3 were 1/10 and 1/1000, respectively, as active as quisqualic acid in sensitizing neurons toward L-AP6.
Synthesis and pharmacological activity of a series of dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones, a novel class of potent cognition enhancers
摘要:
A series of dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole-2,5(3H,6H)-diones were synthesized. These bicylic derivatives contain both the 2-pyrrolidinone and 4-imidazolidinone nuclei, already recognized as important for cognition enhancing activity. In addition, these structures maintain the backbone of piracetam and oxiracetam with the acetamide side chain restricted in a folded conformation. Their ability to reverse scopolamine-induced amnesia was assessed in a one trial, step-through, passive avoidance paradigm. The main features observed are a potent antiamnestic activity after ip administration (minimal effective dose being between 0.3 and 1 mg/kg ip for most compounds), the presence of a bell-shaped dose-response curve and, generally, a reduction of biological activity after po administration. However, the unsubstituted compound (15, dimiracetam) shows no evidence of a bell-shaped dose-response curve and completely retains activity when given orally, being 10-30 times more potent than the reference drug oxiracetam.

New tetraphosphorusligands have been developed and applied in the rhodium‐catalyzedregioselectivehydroformylation of a variety of functionalized allyl and vinyl derivatives. Remarkably high linear selectivity was obtained by these tetraphosphorusligands. The ligand that bears strong electron‐withdrawing 2,4‐difluorophenyl groups is the most effective one in affording linear aldehydes. The Rh/tetraphosphorus

The invention relates to a method of manufacture of dimiracetam (2,5-dioxohexahydro-1 H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazole), characterized in that a 4-oxo-butanoic acid ester is condensed with glycinamide in a one-pot reaction with a controlled pH. The reaction may be performed in aqueous solution or in an anhydrous lower alcohol solution.
catalyst could give good conversion of ethyl acrylate (82.9%) in 12 h and exclusive branched aldehyde selectivity of >99.0%. More importantly, on elevating the temperature to 90 °C, this Rh system could preferentially afford the linear aldehyde with 96.1% regioselectivity, and the TOF could reach up to 9000 h−1. Deuterioformylation was conducted to explore the mechanism of regioselectivity reversal, and
本文研究了铑催化的具有不同PN N二膦配体的丙烯酸烷基酯的加氢甲酰化。在温和的条件下(合成气压力:2 MPa,20°C),2,2'-双(二吡咯基膦酰氧基)-1,1'-(±)-联萘基(L1)铑催化剂可产生良好的丙烯酸乙酯转化率(82.9% )在12小时内,专有的支链醛选择性> 99.0%。更重要的是,在将温度升至90°C时,该Rh系统可以优先提供具有96.1%区域选择性的线性醛,并且TOF可以达到9000 h -1。进行了氘代甲酰化以研究区域选择性逆转的机理,结果表明,可逆的氢化铑加成形成Rh-烷基物种可能在这种逆转中起重要作用。在升高的温度下,支链Rh-烷基物质的β-氢化物消除相对强于线性的Rh-烷基,这可能是因为L1由于其庞大而刚性的联萘骨架而在高温下可导致在分支的Rh-烷基物质中相对较大的空间排斥特征。继而,促进了线性Rh-烷基物质向线性醛的发展。
