The synthesis and nicotinic binding activity of (±)-epiquinamide and (±)-C(1)-epiepiquinamide
摘要:
The synthesis of (+/-)-epiquinamide 1 and (+/-)-C(1)-epiepiquinamide 2 based on the use of a Curtius rearrangement to introduce the C(1) amino residue is reported. In a competition binding assay for [H-3]epibatidine binding to rat brain membranes neither (+/-)-1 nor (+/-)-2 showed any significant level of nicotinic activity. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
