Design and Synthesis of New Naphthalenic Derivatives as Ligands for 2-[125I]Iodomelatonin Binding Sites
摘要:
New melatonin-like agents were designed from the frameworks of 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, an important structural moiety for the 5-HT receptor, and (2-methoxynaphthyl)-ethylamine. The compounds were synthesized by classical methods and evaluated in binding assays with chicken brain membranes using 2-[I-125]iodomelatonin as the radioligand. Preliminary studies on the series of N-acyl-disubstituted phenethylamines showed the favorable role of the methoxy group in the ortho position of the side chain on the affinity for the receptor K-i = 8 +/- 0.2 nM) for N-[2-(2-methoxy-5-bromophenyl)ethyl]propionamide (3o). This effect was confirmed in a series of the naphthalene derivatives, a bioisosteric moiety of the indole ring, and several potent ligands for melatonin binding sites were prepared such as N-[2-(2-methoxynaphthyl)ethyl]propionamide (4b) (K-i = 0.67 +/- 0.05 nM) and N-[2-(2,7-dimethoxynaphthyl)ethyl]cyclopropylformamide (K-i = 0.05 +/- 0.004 nM) (4k). Structure-activity relationships are discussed with regard to melatonin and bioisosteric naphthalenic compound 2. The K-i value for 4b was affected to a similar extent to that of melatonin by GTP-gamma-S or Mn2+ in competition experiments, suggesting an agonist profile for this compound.
4-phenylbut-2-enoate or ethyl (Z)-3-bromomethyl-4-oxopent-2-enoate. A Brønsted acid promoted intramolecular Friedel–Crafts cyclization of β-benzoyl- and β-acetylpyrrol-2(5H)-one derivatives tethered via nitrogen to an electron-rich arene nucleus is developed. Using this efficient methodology, various pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline and pyrrolo[2,1-a]benzazepine derivatives are prepared in a two-step sequence

Structure-activity relationships for substrates and inhibitors of pineal 5-hydroxytryptamine-N-acetyltransferase: preliminary studies
derivatives and no clear structure-activityrelationship was observed. Melatonin and several bioisosteric derivatives were shown to be inhibitors of 5-HT-N-acetyltransferase. Preliminary data suggested that over the 5-50-microM concentration range, melatonin was a competitive inhibitor (IC50 = 10 microM) with a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on its own synthesis in the pineal gland. However, the
