Analogs of the dopamine D4 receptor ligand FAUC 113 with planar- and central-chirality
摘要:
employing yeast enzymes, natural amino acids and the Jacobsen's catalyst as sources of chirality, we have synthesized pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine derivatives with central- and planar-chirality as analogs of the dopamine D4 receptor ligand FAUC 113. In vitro binding experiments displayed enhanced D2 and D3 affinity for both enantiomers of the [2.2]paracyclophane 3. The C-methylpiperazine (R)-4a revealed excellent D4 selectivity.

as chiral organocatalysts in the asymmetric reduction of both ketone 2 and ketimine 3. These organic activators afforded good to moderate enantioselectivities in the asymmetric reductions of both the ketone and the ketimine. Among them, organic activator 6h displayed the best efficiency, affording a 84% yield and 41% ee in the reduction of the ketone and 75% yield and 52% ee in the reduction of the ketimine

Incorporating a Pyrrolidinyl Linker and Biological Evaluation as Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Antagonists
A series of novel pyrrolidinyl linker TRPV1 antagonists were prepared in an effort to lower the hyperthermic side‐effects of first‐generation antagonist BCTC. These compounds were investigated for antagonism of hTRPV1 activation by capsaicin and acid in vitro. Preliminary results suggested the compounds 10a, 10b, 10c and 10j had favorable TRPV1 antagonism activity. In further studies in vivo, 10b, comparable to BCTC, showed potent analgesic activity in capsaicin‐induced and heat‐induced pain models. In addition, 10b indicated a reduced risk of body temperature elevation. All of these demonstrated that 10b can be considered as a safe candidate for the further development of analgesic drugs.
CAL-B-mediated efficient synthesis of a set of valuable amides by direct amidation of phenoxy- and aryl-propionic acids
efficient, easy and sustainable amidation of a set of non-activated carboxylic acids with anilines, assisted by CAL-B, as biodegradable catalyst, is reported. The enzymatic amidation reactions are performed on set of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), phenoxypropionic acid and protected-prolines by direct condensation of one equivalent of carboxylic acids and two equivalents of anilines
