Synthesis, pharmacology, and molecular modeling studies of semirigid, nicotinic agonists
摘要:
Eight nicotinic agonists were synthesized, and their potencies were estimated by contracture of the frog rectus abdominis muscle. The most potent, 1-methyl-4-acetyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine methiodide (3b), 50 times as potent as carbamylcholine, served as a template for the rest. Although all of the agonists could easily conform to the putative nicotinic pharmacophore, their potencies spanned a nearly 10,000-fold range. This pharmacophore, therefore, may be necessary but deficient. Computer-assisted molecular modeling studies helped to delineate additional factors that may contribute to potency. The factors are (1) the ground-state conformation, (2) superimposability of the hydrogen bond acceptor and the cationic head onto the template, (3) electrostatic potential at the cationic head and at the hydrogen bond acceptor site, and (4) the presence of a methyl group bonded to the carbon atom that bears the hydrogen bond acceptor. A new program, ARCHEM, was used to calculate and to visualize electrostatic potentials at the van der Waals surfaces of the agonists.

Good yields of arecolone and isoarecolone were obtained by treating the N,O-dimethylamides of arecaidine and isoarecaidine, respectively, with methylmagnesium chloride. Other substituted arecolones were synthesized by this same strategy.
An improved synthesis of 1-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-4-pyridinyl)ethanone, isoarecolone

日期:1997.11
A convenient synthesis of 1-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-1-methyl-4-pyridinyl)ethanone, isoarecolone, starting with 4-acetylpyridine is presented. 4-Acetylpyridine was protected as the ketal followed by reaction with iodomethane to give the quaterary salt. The quaterary salt was reduced with sodium borohydride followed by deprotection to give isoarecolone in 80% overall yield.

This invention relates to use of the combined action of a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist and a monoaminergic substance for the treatment of affective disorders, as well as to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these substances and chemical substances for use according to the invention.
Certain O-substituted-1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-3- or 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-4-pyridine oximes are useful as agents for treating pain or for treating the symptoms of senile cognitive decline.
