3-Hydroxy-quinolin-2-ones: Inhibitors of [3H]-glycine binding to the site associated with the NMDA receptor
摘要:
A series of substituted 3-hydroxy-quinolin-2-one derivatives 6 was synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of [H-3]-glycine and [H-3]-AMPA binding to rat cortical membranes. These compounds were generally found to be more potent ligands for the NMDA-associated glycine binding site than the AMPA receptor. Affinity for the glycine site was found to be influenced by both the electronic and steric properties associated with the C-4 substituent and the nature and pattern of substitution of the aromatic ring. The most active compound in this series, 6y, displaces [H-3]-glycine with an IC50 of 29 nM.
Exploring the Synthetic Versatility of the Lewis Acid Induced Decomposition Reaction of α-Diazo-β-hydroxy Esters. The Case of Ethyl Diazo(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1<i>H</i>-indol-3-yl)acetate
Ethyl diazo(3-hydroxy-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)acetate was prepared by aldol-type condensation of ethyl diazoacetate with isatin. A systematic and mechanistic study on the Lewis acid induced decomposition reaction of this valuable diazo precursor was carried out with the aim to gain new insights into the mechanistic aspects of the reaction as well as to further understand the factors and experimental conditions which affect the relative product distribution. The reaction, which may proceed via cationic and noncationic mechanisms, was found to be significantly influenced by the reaction environment determined by the characteristics of the Lewis acid employed, by the ability of the Lewis acid to form a complex with the alcohol functionality of the alpha-diazo-beta-hydroxy ester, and by the polarity and nucleophilicity of the solvent used.
Development of a series of 3-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones as selective inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase associated RNase H activity
We report herein the synthesis of a series of 3-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-one derivatives. Esters and amide groups were introduced at position 4 of the basis scaffold and some modulations of the benzenic moiety were performed. Most compounds presented selective inhibitory properties in the 10-20 mu M range against HIV-1 reverse transcriptase associated ribonuclease H activity, without affecting the integrase and reverse transcriptase DNA polymerase activities. Unfortunately all tested compounds exhibited high cellular cytotoxicity in cell culture which limited their applications as antiviral agents. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
