Synthesis and biological evaluation of 2-(5-methyl-4-phenyl-2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)-acetamide stereoisomers as novel positive allosteric modulators of sigma-1 receptor
摘要:
Novel positive allosteric modulators of sigma-1 receptor represented by 2-(5-methyl-4-phenyl-2-oxopyrrolidin-l-yl)-acetamide enantiomers were synthesised using an asymmetric Michael addition of 2-nitroprop-1-enylbenzene to diethyl malonate. Following the chromatographic separation of the methyl erythro- and threo-4-nitro-3R- and 3S-phenylpentanoate diastereoisomers, target compounds were obtained by their reductive cyclisation into 5-methyl-4-phenylpyrrolidin-2-one enantiomers and the attachment of the acetamide group to the heterocyclic nitrogen. Experiments with electrically stimulated rat vas deference contractions induced by the PRE-084, an agonist of sigma-1 receptor, showed that (4R,5S)- and (4R,5R)-2-(5-methyl-4-phenyl-2-oxopyrrolidin-l-yl)-acetamides with an R-configuration at the C-4 chiral centre in the 2-pyrrolidone ring were more effective positive allosteric modulators of sigma-1 receptor than were their optical antipodes.

N-Tosylated α, β-unsaturatedamides and lactams undergo facile conjugate addition with R2CuLi or RMgX/CuI (cat.). Stereoselective synthesis of trans-β,γ-dialkyl-γ-lactams can be achieved by this procedure. The resulting N-tosylamide moiety is further transformed to alcohol and several carbonyl compounds by way of reduction or nucleophillic displacement.

Nitro versus nitro: 4‐Nitro‐5‐styrylisoxazoles were used as masked α,β‐unsaturated carboxylic acids in the titled catalyticasymmetric transformation. The 4‐nitroisoxazole core acts as an activator of the conjugated alkene and a latent carboxylate functionality. The reaction proceeded with 5 mol % of a readily prepared phase‐transfer catalyst at room temperature with remarkable diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity

Cyclisations of N-alkyl and N,N-dialkyl cinnamic amides to the corresponding pyrrolidin-2-ones under the conditions of flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT), are described. It was found that these reactions proceed at 950-1000 degrees C affording in various yields the mixtures of isomeric mono and bicyclic gamma-lactams, which were separated chromatographically and analysed by means of NMR spectroscopy. Two alternative mechanisms for the title process are proposed. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
