Consequences of linker length alteration of the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist, SEN12333
摘要:
A series of ligands based on SEN12333, containing either contracted or elongated alkyl chains, were synthesized and evaluated in molecular docking studies against a homology model of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtype. The predicted binding of all ligands was highly similar, with the exception of the analog containing a 5 methylene unit spacer. However, in vitro competition binding assays revealed that the ligands possessed dissimilar binding affinities, with a K-i range of more than an order of magnitude (K-i = 0.50 to >10 mu M), and only SEN12333 itself exhibited functional activity at the alpha 7 nAChR.

An efficient and mild method has been developed for the amination of β-methoxy amides (γ-lactones) including natural products michelolide, costunolide and parthenolide derivatives by using lithium chloride in good yields. This reaction is applicable to a wide range of substrates with good functional group tolerance. Mechanism studies show that the reactions undergo a LiCl promoted MeOH elimination
