The present invention relates to compositions comprising 4-Oxo-piperidine-carboxylates and derivatives thereof, for example derivatives substituted with phenyl, nitrophenyl or benzyl groups. It also teaches the medical use of these and related compounds for treatment of retroviral diseases, in particular, HIV and HTLV, proliferative diseases, in particular CML and Trypanosomiasis.
Malaria, sleeping sickness, Chagas' disease, Aleppo boil, and AIDS are among the tropical diseases causing millions of infections and cases of deaths per year because only inefficient chemotherapy is available. Since the targeting of the enzymes of the polyamine pathway may provide novel therapy options, we aimed to inhibit the deoxyhypusine hydroxylase, which is an important step in the biosynthesis of the eukaryotic initiation factor 5A. In order to identify new lead compounds, piperidines were produced and biologically evaluated. The 3,5-diethyl piperidone-3,5-dicarboxylates 11 and 13 substituted with 4-nitrophenyl rings in the 2 and 6 positions were found to be active against Trypanosoma brucei brucei and Plasmodium falciparum combined with low cytotoxicity against macrophages. The corresponding monocarboxylates are only highly active against the T. brucei brucei. The piperidine oximether 53 demonstrated the highest plasmodicidal activity. Moreover, compounds 11 and 53 were also able to inhibit replication of HIV-1.
Structural Variations in Carboxylated Bispidine Ligands: Influence of Positional Isomerism and Rigidity on the Conformation, Stability, Inertness and Relaxivity of their Mn<sup>2+</sup> Complexes

Mn(II) complexes with acetate-substituted bispidine ligands can adopt different conformations depending on the N3 substituent. Complexes in chair-chair conformation display high relaxivity and strong kinetic inertness, both very important for their potential use as MRI contrast agents. In contrast, the boat-chair conformers undergo fast dissociation and do no retain good relaxivity.
