Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of N-(benzoylalkyl)imidazoles and N-(.omega.-phenyl-.omega.-hydroxyalkyl)imidazoles
摘要:
A novel series of N-(benzoylalkyl)imidazoles and N-(omega-phenyl-omega-hydroxyalkyl)imidazoles was synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity in mice against maximal electroshock induced seizures. Some of the compounds showed an activity comparable to or better than phenytoin and phenobarbital. The N-[beta-[4-(beta-phenylethyl)phenyl]-beta-hydroxyethyl]imidazole (38) was selected for further studies; preclinical toxicology and additional efficacy evaluations are in progress. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.
Design and synthesis of selective inhibitors of Placental Alkaline Phosphatase
摘要:
Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) is a tissue-restricted isozyme of the Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) superfamily. PLAP is an oncodevelopmental enzyme expressed during pregnancy and in a variety of human cancers, but its biological function remains unknown. We report here a series of catechol compounds with great affinity for the PLAP isozyme and significant selectivity over other members of the AP superfamily. These selective PLAP inhibitors will provide small molecule probes for the study of the pathophysiological role of PLAP. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
