Studies on New Acidic Azoles as Glucose-Lowering Agents in Obese, Diabetic db/db Mice
摘要:
Bioisosteric substitution was used as a tool to generate several new structural alternatives to the thiazolidine-2,4-dione and tetrazole heterocycles as potential antidiabetic agents. Among the initial leads that emerged from this strategy, a family of acidic azoles isoxazol-3- and -5-ones and a pyrazol-3-one, showed significant plasma glucose-lowering activity (17-42% reduction) in genetically obese, diabetic db/db mice at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day x 4. Structure-activity relationship studies determined that 5-alkyl-4-(arylmethyl)pyrazol-3-ones, which exist in solution as aromatic enol/iminol tautomers, were the most promising new class of potential antidiabetic agent (32-45% reduction at 20 mg/kg/d x 4). Included in this work are convenient syntheses for several types of acidic azoles that may find use as new acidic bioisosteres in medicinal chemistry such as the antidiabetic lead 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrazol-3-one (hydroxy tautomer) and aza homologs of the pyrazolones, 1,2,3-triazol-5-ones (hydroxy tautomer) and 1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-one heterocycles. log P and pK(a) data for 15 potential acidic bioisosteres, all appended to a 2-naphthalenylmethyl residue so as to maintain a similar distance between the acidic hydrogen and arene nucleus, are presented. This new data set allows comparison of a wide variety of potential acid mimetics (pK(a) 3.78-10.66; log P -0.21 to 2.76) for future drug design.
condensation–reduction approach, which was carried out in water, has been reported. Using Hantzsch esters as reducing agent, under the promotion of base, a variety of reduced Knoevenagel adducts could be easily prepared by direct alkylation of malononitrile, ethyl 2-cyanoacetate, and 2-(4-nitrophenyl)acetonitrile, respectively. Meanwhile, a gram-scale synthesis of the protocol was also realized with excellent

The rhodium-catalyzed water–gas shift reaction has been demonstrated to drive the reductive alkylation of several classes of activated methylene compounds at room temperature. Under catalysis by rhodium trichloride (2–3 mol %), carbon monoxide (10 bar), water (2–50 equiv), and triethylamine (2.5–7 equiv), the scope has been successfully expanded to cover a wide range of alkylating agents, including
DBN (1,5-diazabicyclo(4.3.0)non-5-ene) with activatedolefins, i.e., 2-arylidenemalononitriles and 2-cyano-3-aryl acrylates, to afford tricyclic 2-pyridones and pyridin-2(1H)-imines, respectively. The mechanism has been proposed based on DFT calculations. In the reaction, the cyclic amidines serve as C,N-bisnucleophiles for the cyclization, while the olefins play a dual role by acting as both reactants
在此,我们描述了环脒如 DBU(1,8-二氮杂双环(5.4.0)undec-7-ene)和 DBN(1,5-二氮杂双环(4.3 .0)non-5-ene)与活化的烯烃,即2-亚芳基丙二腈和2-氰基-3-芳基丙烯酸酯,分别提供三环2-吡啶酮和吡啶-2(1 H )-亚胺。该机制是基于 DFT 计算提出的。在反应中,环脒作为环化的C,N-双亲核试剂,而烯烃通过作为反应物和氧化剂发挥双重作用。

A domino reaction composed of a Knoevenagel condensation combined with a simultaneous catalytic hydrogenation is reported in an ionic liquid solvent under mild conditions (298-363 K and 300 kPa). No interference between the catalysts (Pd/C and amine acetate salt) of the two diverse steps was monitored. The product could be neatly extracted by diethyl ether and the solvent containing the catalysts could be recycled and reused five times without any loss in activity or selectivity. The same methodology in a common organic solvent such as DMA resulted in significant competing parallel hydrogenation of the aidehyde to alcohol. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
