Synthesis and histamine H2 agonistic activity of arpromidine analogues: replacement of the pheniramine-like moiety by non-heterocyclic groups
摘要:
Analogues of the potent histamine H-2 agonist arpromidine, characterized by non-heterocyclic groups (phenyl, cyclo-hexyl, alkyl) instead of the pheniramine-like portion, were prepared and tested for their H-2 agonistic and H-1 antagonistic activity in the isolated guinea pig right atrium and ileum, respectively. In the diphenylpropylguanidine series an increase in H-2 agonistic potency resulted from mono- or difluorination at one or both phenyl rings in the meta and/or para position (pD2 less-than-or-equal-to 7.75 vs pD2 = 7.15 for the unsubstituted parent compound). Compounds chlorinated at both phenyl rings were considerably less potent. Highest combined H-2 agonistic/H-1 antagonistic potency was found in the 4-fluorophenyl series. The arpromidine analogue with cyclohexyl and methyl group instead of phenyl and pyridine ring proved to be 30 times more potent than histamine in the atrium. The H-1 antagonistic potency in cyclohexyl compounds was lower than in the diaryl series. Thus, aromatic rings appear not to be required for high H-2 agonistic potency but are useful for combined H-2 agonistic/H-1 antagonistic activity.
An electrochemical cinnamyl C—Hamination reaction in the absence of transition metal catalyst and oxidant was reported. The choice of carbonyl sulfamate as nitrogen source is the key to achieve desired chemoselectivity. A series of terminal amine derivatives are prepared using this protocol and the sulfonyl group can be removed with basic hydrolysis. The reaction is suggested to proceed via a continuous
