The cycloaddition of 4-iodosydnones with terminal alkynes proceeds with excellent regiocontrol to provide 5-iodo pyrazoles. These products participate smoothly in subsequent C-C and C-heteroatom bond forming processes.

CDPPB [3-cyano-N-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) benzamide] was recently described as the first centrally active, positive allosteric modulator of rat and human metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) mGluR(5) subtype. We explored the structural requirements for potentiation of glutamate-induced calcium release in naturally expressed mGluR5 in cultured rat astrocytes and increasing affinity for the allosteric antagonist binding site by evaluating 50 analogues of CDPPB. In the fluorometric calcium assay, CDPPB exhibited an EC50 value of 77 +/- 15 nM in potentiating mGluR(5)-mediated responses in cortical astrocytes and a K-i value of 3760 ( 430 nM in displacing [H-3] methoxyPEPy binding in membranes of cultured HEK-293 cells expressing rat mGluR5. The structure-activity relationships showed that electronegative aromatic substituents in the para-position of the benzamide moiety of CDPPB increase potency. Both binding and functional activities were further increased with a halogen atom in the ortho-position of the 1-phenyl ring. These effects of substitution do not match those of either aromatic ring of MPEP [2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine] for the antagonist allosteric binding site. Combination of the optimal substituents and aromatic positions resulted in 4-nitro-N-(1-(2-fluorophenyl)-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl) benzamide (VU-1545) showing K-i) 156 (29 nM and EC50) 9.6 (1.9 nM in the binding and functional assays, respectively.
In situ click chemistry generation of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors
with the use of kinetic target-guided synthesis, also termed as in situclickchemistry, we describe the discovery of two highly potent and selective cyclooxygenase-2 isozyme inhibitors. The in vivo anti-inflammatory activity of these two novel small molecules is significantly higher than that of widely used selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.Traditional inflammation and pain relief drugs target
