Synthesis and methemoglobinemia-inducing properties of benzocaine isosteres designed as humane rodenticides
摘要:
A number of isosteres (oxadiazoles, thiadiazoles, tetrazoles and diazines) of benzocaine were prepared and evaluated for their capacity to induce methemoglobinemia-with a view to their possible application as humane pest control agents. It was found that an optimal lipophilicity for the formation of methemoglobin (metHb) in vitro existed within each series, with 1,2,4-oxadiazole 3 (metHb% = 61.0 +/- 3.6) and 1,3,4-oxadiazole 10 (metHb% = 52.4 +/- 0.9) demonstrating the greatest activity. Of the 5 candidates (compounds 3, 10, 11, 13 and 23) evaluated in vivo, failure to induce a lethal end-point at doses of 120 mg/kg was observed in all cases. Inadequate metabolic stability, particularly towards hepatic enzymes such as the CYPs, was postulated as one reason for their failure. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Novel compounds which interact with the histamine H3 receptor are defined. These compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of a variety of diseases or conditions in which histamine H3 interactions are beneficial. Thus, the compounds may find use, e.g., in the treatment of diseases of the central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the pulmonary system, the gastrointestinal system and the endocrinological system. The novel compounds have a core consisting of a 6 membered aromatic ring containing at least one nitrogen atom and two carbon atoms in the ring and, at the remaining positions in the ring, there is either a carbon or a nitrogen atom.
