4-Aminoquinolines: Novel Nociceptin Antagonists with Analgesic Activity
摘要:
Small-molecule nociceptin antagonists were synthesized to examine their therapeutic potential. After a 4-aminoquinoline derivative was found to bind with the human ORL1 receptor, a series of 4-aminoquinolines and related compounds were synthesized and their binding was evaluated. Elucidation of structure-activity relationships eventually led to the optimum compounds. One of the se compounds, N-(4-amino-2-methylquinolin-6-yl) -2-(4-ethylphenoxymethyl)benzamide hydrochloride (11) not only antagonized nociceptin-induced allodynia in mice but also showed analgesic effect in a hot plate test using mice and in a formalin test using rats. Its analgesic effect was not antagonized by the opioid antagonist naloxone. These results indicate that this nociceptin antagonist has the potential to become a novel type of analgesic that differs from mu -opioid agonists.

Cyclizations of stilbenecarboxylic acids to the corresponding isocoumarin derivatives using diselenide or disulfide reagents have been developed. By employing bis(triflouroacetoxy)iodobenzene as oxidant for the 6-endo-trig cyclizations a variety of dihydroisocoumarins have been prepared in good yields. This method is capable of forming isocoumarins and dihydroisocoumarin derivatives by a cyclization–elimination

Very little supporting electrolyte or none at all is needed in flow electrochemistry. Recycling and waste problems are eliminated as cyclization products are obtained in a fast and clean process.

A new cyclization of β-keto ester substituted stilbene derivatives using selenium electrophiles in the presence of Lewis acids is described. Substituted naphthols are obtained through cyclization and subsequent 1,2-rearrangement of arylgroups under very mild reaction conditions.

Synthesis of heterocycles from 1,2-diarylalkene derivatives through electrosynthesis under metal- and oxidant-free conditions has been discovered. Cathodic reduction of 2-alkenylbenzoic acid or anodic oxidation of 2-alkenylbenzamide, 2-alkenylphenol and 2-alkenylaniline leads to the formation of reactive radical intermediates which afford corresponding phthalide, isochroman-1-one, isoindolin-1-one
We developed a novel thiourea Lewis-base catalyst with phenol moieties for the enantioselective 5-exo-bromolactonization of stilbenecarboxylic acids to afford chiral 3-substituted phthalides. The phenol moieties are crucial for the enantio- and regio-selectivity.
