Cyclohexylcarbamic Acid 3‘- or 4‘-Substituted Biphenyl-3-yl Esters as Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase Inhibitors: Synthesis, Quantitative Structure−Activity Relationships, and Molecular Modeling Studies
摘要:
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a promising target for modulating endocannabinoid and fatty acid ethanolamide signaling, which may have important therapeutic potential. We recently described a new class of O-arylcarbamate inhibitors of FAAH, including the cyclohexylcarbamic acid biphenyl-3-yl ester URB524 (half-maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 = 63 nM), which have significant anxiolytic-like properties in rats. In the present study, by introducing a selected group of substituents at the meta and para positions of the distal phenyl ring of URB524, we have characterized structure-activity profiles for this series of compounds and shown that introduction of small polar groups in the meta position greatly improves inhibitory potency. Most potent in the series was the m-carbamoyl derivative URB597 (4i, IC50 = 4.6 nM). Furthermore, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) analysis of an extended set of meta-substituted derivatives revealed a negative correlation between potency and lipophilicity and suggested that small-sized substituents may undertake polar interactions with the binding pocket of the enzyme. Docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations, using the crystal structure of FAAH, indicated that the O-biphenyl scaffold of the carbamate inhibitors can be accommodated within a lipophilic region of the substrate-binding site, where their folded shape mimics the initial 10-12 carbon atoms of the arachidonyl moiety of anandamide (a natural FAAH substrate) and methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate (a nonselective FAAH inhibitor). Moreover, substituents at the meta position of the distal. phenyl ring can form hydrogen bonds with atoms located on the polar section of a narrow channel pointing toward the membrane-associated side of the enzyme. The structure-activity characterization reported here should help optimize the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic properties of this class of compounds.

Palladium nanoparticle (Pd NP) catalysts immobilized in a polymer with an N-heterocycliccarbene (NHC) moiety (PICB-NHC-Pd) have been developed, wherein the NHC moiety plays dual roles as a crosslinker and a ligand to activate the Pd NPs. The presence of both Pd NPs and NHC was confirmed by STEM/EDS and SR-MAS NMR analyses, respectively. This PICB-NHC-Pd catalyst showed excellent activity in the Suzuki–Miyaura

Transition-metal-free LiCl-promoted cross-coupling reactions of tetraphenyltin, trichlorophenyl-, dichlorodiphenyl-, and chlorotriphenylstannanes with arylhalides in DMF provided access to biaryls in good to high yields. Up to four phenyl groups were transferred from the organostannanes substrates. The aryls bearing electron-withdrawing groups in either halides or organotin substrates gave coupling

cross-coupling reaction of a variety of aryl, heteroaryl, and benzyl chlorides with ArMgX is catalyzed by 2 mol % of a nickel−phosphine complex prepared in situ from an equimolar amount of Ni(CH3CN)2Cl2 and ligand (L2) to yield products in excellent yield in THF at room temperature. This new bidentate ligand (L2) is stable in air and forms a stable complex upon reaction with Ni(CH3CN)2Cl2. Structures of the

Treatment of alkynals with 2-substituted allylsilanes and PPh3AuCl/AgOTf (5/3 mol%) catalyst led to formation of 1,3-disubstituted benzenes efficiently. This reaction sequence comprises an initial allylation of aldehyde, followed by cycloisomerization of enynes; PPh3AuOTf is active in both steps.
