Quinuclidinone O-Alkynyloximes with muscarinic agonist activity
摘要:
A series of quinuclidinone O-alkynyloximes (14-19) were synthesized and evaluated in radioligand displacement assays for binding affinities to M-1-M-3 muscarinic receptors. Radioligand displacement assays were carried out using [H-3] oxotremorine-M and [H-3] pirenzepine on rat cortical tissue and [H-3] N-methylscopolamine on rat heart and submandibulary glands. Two alkynyloximes 15 and 18 had pirenzepine/oxotromorine M ratios which were indicative of muscarinic agonist Ind partial agonist activity, respectively. They were tested for their mnemonic effects in mice using the swimming escape task and found to attenuate scopolamine induced impairment of the task in mice at 2 mg/kg. The results show that the O-alkynyloxime moiety linked to aza-cycles of appropriate size and rigidity (for example quinuclidine and tropane) is a potentially useful muscarinic pharmacophore that can be exploited for the design of muscarinic agonists.

Synthesis and Pharmacological Characterization of O-Alkynyloximes of Tropinone and N-Methylpiperidinone as Muscarinic Agonists
摘要:
A number of O-alkynyloximes of tropinone and N-methyl-4-piperidinone have been synthesized and evaluated for muscarinic activity. The affinities of these oximes were tested in homogenates of cerebral cortex, heart, and submandibulary glands from rats using [H-3]pirenzepine and [H-3]- N-methylscopolamine as radioligands. The oximes bind to the cortical muscarinic receptors with pK(i) values varying from 3 to 7. Higher binding affinities were observed for the O-alkynyl tropinone oximes than the corresponding piperidinone analogues. Binding to the muscarinic sites in the heart and submandibulary glands was also observed but with lower affinities. Good M-1 subtype selectivity (10-fold or greater) was observed with some oximes (26a, 28a, 32a) at the cortical sites. These oximes also attenuated scopolamine-induced impairment of the water mask task in mice. Functional assays for Ma activity on the rat aorta showed that all oximes possessed M-3 agonist action but M-2 agonist activity was not observed at the endothelium-denuded rabbit aorta. Analysis of the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) indicated that the Connolly surface area is an important determinant of activity, accounting for 70% of the variation in cortical binding affinity among the oximes.

Herein, we show that masked (blocked) O-isocyanate precursors allow one-pot or cascade reaction sequences featuring base-catalyzed substitution with 2-iodoanilines and 2-iodobenzylamines followed by copper-catalyzed cyclization, to form benzimidazolones and 3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-ones.

Replacement of the 5-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylate of coumarin drugs with an N-propargyloxycarbamate bioisostere leads to analogues with improved antibacterial activity. Analysis of crystal structures of coumarin antibiotics with the 24 kDa N-terminal domain of the gyraseB protein provides a
A Pd-catalyzed asymmetric alkene 1,2-dioxygenation reaction is described. The diastereoselectivity of the reaction is controlled by tethering a chiral oxime ether directing group to the alkene substrate. The best selectivities are obtained with 8-substituted menthone-derived oxime ether auxiliaries.

Loss of cholinergic function is believed to be implicated in the cognitive decline associated with senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT). The disease is characterized by progressive loss of muscarinic receptors located on nerve terminals while postsynaptic muscarinic M1 receptors appear to remain largely intact. Muscarinic agonists acting directly on postsynaptic receptors offer the prospect of countering the cholinergic deficit in SDAT. This study describes a novel series of azabicyclic muscarinic agonists, which incorporate an oxime ether or modified oxime ether group as an ester bioisostere. Modification of the oxime ether function by the introduction of electron withdrawing groups led to the finding that the (Z)-N-methoxy imidoyl nitrile group serves as a stable methyl ester bioisostere. This culminated in the discovery of the quinuclidinyl N-methoxy imidoyl nitrile R-(+)-(Z)-5g which is a functionally selective muscarinic M1 partial agonist currently in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of SDAT. The selective profile of R-(+)-(Z)-5g can be rationalized in terms of the relative affinity of the compound at muscarinic receptor subtypes, the degree of agonist efficacy, and brain penetrancy.
