A NEW SYNTHESIS OF CIS-3-SUBSTITUTED CHROMAN-4-OLS
摘要:
3,3-Dibromochroman-4-ones on reaction with different heterocyclic secondary amines gave 3-substituted chromones. These on reduction with NaBH4 gave exclusively cis-3-heterocycle substituted chroman-4-ols in good yields.
Syntheses and Evaluation of 2- or 3-(<i>N</i>-Cyclicamino)chromone Derivatives as Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
摘要:
A series of 2-(N-cyclicamino)chromone derivatives (1a-4c) and 3-(N-cyclicamino)chromone derivatives (5a-8c) were synthesized, and their monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B inhibitory activities were studied as part of a structure-activity relationship investigation. Compounds 1a-4c showed no remarkable inhibition for MAO-A or MAO-B, whereas compounds 5a-8c (with a few exceptions) showed significant and selective inhibition of MAO-B. Of these compounds, 7c,7-methoxy-3-(4-phenyl-1-piperazinyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one inhibited MAO-B the most potently and selectively, having IC50 of 15 nM and an MAO-B selectivity index of more than 6700; c.f, 50 nM and 2000, respectively, for safinamide. The mode of inhibition of 7c to MAO-B was competitive and reversible. Considering the IC50 values and selectivity indices of the other synthetic compounds, the presence of the methoxy group on the chromone ring (R-2) of 7c seemed to increase MAO-B inhibition. Molecular docking analysis also supports this hypothesis. Our results suggest that 3-(N-cyclicamino)chromones are useful lead compounds for the development of MAO-B inhibitors.
