Synthesis and Structure of Some 6,7-Dihydro-thiazolo[4,5- d ][1,3,2]diaza-λ 5 -phosphorines
摘要:
1,2,4-Thiadiazol-5(2H)-imines 1 react with malononitrile under ring cleavage cycloaddition and subsequent ring rearrangement. The products 2 incorporate the enaminonitrile fragment. Treatment of compounds 2 with phosphorus pentachloride results in thiazolo[4,5-d][1,3,2]diaza-lambda(5)-phosphorine derivatives 3 with a reactive chloro, substituent in position 2 and 4 which can be substituted by various nucleophiles. The structure of the trimethoxy derivative 7c was determined by an X-ray structure analysis.
2,3-Diaryl-5-anilino[1,2,4]thiadiazoles as melanocortin MC4 receptor agonists and their effects on feeding behavior in rats
摘要:
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4) modulates physiological functions such as feeding behavior, nerve regeneration, and drug addiction. Using a high throughput screen based on I-121-NDP-MSH binding to the human MC4 receptor, we discovered 2,3-diaryl-5-anilino[1,2,4]thiadiazoles 3 as potent and selective MC4 receptor agonists. Through SAR development on the three attached aryl rings, we improved the binding affinity from 174 nM to 4.4 nM IC50. When delivered intraperitoneally, compounds 3a, 3b, and 3c induced significant inhibition of food intake in a fasting-induced feeding model in rats. When delivered orally, these compounds lost activity, mainly due to rapid metabolism to inactive imidoylthiourea reduction products. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
