Inhibition of Oleamide Hydrolase Catalyzed Hydrolysis of the Endogenous Sleep-Inducing Lipid cis-9-Octadecenamide
摘要:
Oleamide (1, cis-9-octadecenamide) is a naturally occurring brain constituent that. has been shown to accumulate and disappear under conditions of sleep deprivation and sleep recovery, respectively. Synthetic 1 has been found to induce sleep in a structurally specific manner at nanomolar quantities. Hydrolysis of 1 by an enzyme (oleamide hydrolase) present in the cell membrane rapidly degrades oleamide to oleic acid (cis-9-octadecenoic acid). Such observations suggest 1 may constitute a prototypical member of a class of fatty acid primary amide biological signaling molecules in which the diversity and selectivity of function are derived from the length of the alkane chain as well as the position, stereochemistry, and degree of unsaturation. A series of inhibitors of oleamide hydrolase were designed and prepared which were expected to derive their properties through interactions with the putative active site cysteine residue within oleamide hydrolase. This approach yielded a series of rapid, selective, and highly potent inhibitors (K-i = 13 mu M to 1 nM) which in addition to their potential therapeutic value may serve as useful tools to define the biological role of oleamide.

for making aryl α-ketoamides as drug candidates have been greatly improved through metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidativeamidations. However, the preparation of alkyl α-ketoamides through metal-catalyzed aerobic oxidativeamidations has not been reported because generating α-ketoamides from aliphatic ketones with two α-carbons theoretically provides two distinct α-ketoamides. Our strategy is to activate
