Structure–Activity Relationships and Pharmacophore Model of a Noncompetitive Pyrazoline Containing Class of GluN2C/GluN2D Selective Antagonists
摘要:
Here we describe the synthesis and structure-activity relationship for a class of pyrazoline-containing dihydroquinolone negative allosteric modulators of the NMDA receptor that show strong subunit selectivity for GluN2C- and GluN2D-containing receptors over GluN2A- and GluN2B-containing receptors. Several members of this class inhibit NMDA receptor responses in the nanomolar range and are more than 50-fold selective over GluN1/GluN2A and GluN1/GluN2B NMDA receptors, as well as AMPA, kainate, GABA, glycine, nicotinic, serotonin, and purinergic receptors. Analysis of the purified enantiomers of one of the more potent and selective compounds shows that the S-enantiomer is both more potent and more selective than the R-enantiomer. The S-enantiomer had an IC50 of 0.17-0.22 mu M at GluN2D- and GluN2C-containing receptors, respectively, and showed over 70-fold selectivity over other NMDA receptor subunits. The subunit selectivity of this class of compounds should be useful in defining the role of GluN2C- and GluN2D-containing receptors in specific brain circuits in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
Carbonyl group coordination preferences in square-planar NiII and PdII complexes of pentadentate ligands by electron-withdrawing/donating substituents
摘要:
A series of chirally switchable Ni-II and Pd-II complexes were synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography and additionally by NMR. It was found that control of the stereochemical preference between (S*,S*) and (S*,R*) diastereomers by substituent modification of the ligand sidearms was possible in the process of crystallization with the preferred coordination of the sidearms generally consistent with expectations based on the electron-donating or -withdrawing properties of the sidearm substituent groups. There were however, quite interesting and unanticipated exceptions counter to chemical intuition and it seems that only for complexes with ortho substituents are strong preferences for the coordination manner necessarily displayed in the solid state based on the electron-withdrawing or -donating properties of the substituents.

A one-pot efficient synthetic approach for the rapid construction of spirocyclopenta[a]indene derivatives has been developed via an iodine-initiated cascade ring expansion and intramolecular Friedel-Crafts-type cyclization from propargyl alcohol-tethered alkylidenecyclobutanes under mild conditions with broad substrate scope. This cascade process can be elegantly conducted on a gram scale. A plausible

of the complexes under phase transfer catalyzed alkylations with hydroxide bases, as well as the DBU catalyzed Michael Additions of optically active 3′-substituted-2-oxazoladinone amides of unsaturated carboxylic acids. It was found that the trifluoromethyl containing nucleophilic glycine equivalents were more reactive than their non-trifluoromethyl analogues in both reaction types. Therefore, the application
oxindole synthesis bearing an all-carbon quaternary center, enabled by Pd-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization followed by multiple intermolecular Heck reactions of both easily accessible alkene-tethered carbamoyl chlorides and olefins. This protocol obviates the use of prefunctionalized olefinic reagents, exhibits excellent functional group tolerance, and features fascinating reactive versatility.

phosphoranyl radical chemistry allows for precise cleavage of a stronger C-O bond and formation of a weaker C-Cbond by 1,5-aryl migration under mild reaction conditions. This new protocol is independent of substrate redox-potential, electronic, and substituent effects. It affords a general and promising access to 60 examples of synthetically versatile o-amino and o-hydroxy diaryl ketones under redox-neutral
