Psychotropic agents: synthesis and antipsychotic activity of substituted .beta.-carbolines
摘要:
A series of novel substituted beta-carbolines was synthesized and tested for potential antipsychotic activity. Several compounds displayed moderate antipsychotic activity in vitro and in vivo as determined by relevant receptor binding assays and behavioral tests. The effect of substituents on antipsychotic activity was examined. The beta-carbolines 10 and 19 containing 2-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl and 2-(2-quinolinyl)ethyl side chains were the most potent analogues, blocking discrete trial conditioned avoidance responding in rats with AB50's of 23 and 10 mg/kg, respectively. Both showed moderate activity at the D2 receptor sites, but they lacked oral activity. In contrast, the beta-carboline 13 containing the 4-(4-pyridinyl)butyl side chain exhibited oral activity in the discrete trial conditioned avoidance screen with an AB50 of 31 mg/kg. Most compounds did not antagonize apomorphine-induced stereotyped behavior, which is indicative of low potential for extrapyramidal side effect (EPS) liability.
Synthesis of Aryl Ethers via a Sulfonyl Transfer Reaction
摘要:
A general synthesis of aryl ethers from primary and secondary alcohols and aryl mesylates is presented. The reaction proceeds via a sulfonyl-transfer mechanism. In this paper, we compare the sulfonyl transfer reaction to Mitsunobu ether formation. The reaction can be employed in a multistep synthesis where the aryl mesylate is used as a phenol protecting group and then as an activating group for ether formation. This protecting/activating group strategy is demonstrated using raloxifene as the target.
