Synthesis and evaluation of novel 2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamide derivatives as potent and selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonists

A series of 8'-substituted N-(endo-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamides were synthesized. The 5-HT4 receptor agonistic activity was evaluated using the isolated guinea pig ileum preparation. Of the compounds synthesized, N-(endo-8-(3-hydroxypropyl)-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-3-yl)-1-isopropyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamide (15a, TS-951) exhibited the most potent serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonistic activity. This compound had a high affinity for the serotonin 5-HT4 receptor although it had no affinities for other broad spectrum receptors. Furthermore, it remarkably enhanced gastrointestinal motility in conscious fed dogs without unfavorable effects that non-selective serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist has. TS-951 may be useful in improving gastrointestinal dysfunction.     

Enantioselective synthesis of (R)- and (S)-2-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxamides

Enantiomers of 2-methyl-3-oxo-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine-2-carboxamides bearing different substituents in the aromatic ring are obtained by the cyclization of (R)-monomethyl 2-methyl-2-(2-nitrophenoxy)malonates with the participation of the carboxy and methoxycarbonyl group, respectively.

A series of N-azabicycloalkyl-1-alkyl-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-3-quinolinecarboxamides were synthesized and tested for serotonin 5-HT4 receptor-stimulating effects in the regulation of electrically-evoked contraction in guinea pig muscle.

Compound 8c stimulated digestive tract motility in conscious fed dogs (1.0 mg/kg p.o.).

Studies on quinoline derivatives and related compounds. II. Synthesis of 5-substituted 1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid

The cyclization of m-substituted anilinomethylenemalonates ( 1 ) in the presence of polyphosphate ester and some other cyclizing agents gave mixtures of the isomeric ethyl 5- ( 2 ) and 7-substituted 4-hydroxy-3-quinolinecarboxylates ( 3 ), which led to mixtures of the corresponding quinolinecarboxylic acids ( 4 and 5 ) by hydrolysis. The proportions of 4 and 5 in the mixtures were determined on the basis of their nmr spectra. Novel 5-chloro- ( 8a ), 5-methyl- ( 8b ) and 5-nitro-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids were prepared and evaluated for antimicrobial activities. No significant activity, however, was noted.

The reaction of 2-oxo-3-benzothiazolineacetic acid ( 5 ) and the 5-chloro analogue 6 with thionyl chloride afforded the titled compounds 7 and 8 . The reaction of 7 or 8 with substituted hydrazines, amines or substituted anilines, alcohols and mercaptans furnished the hydrazides 9–14 , acetamides and acetanilides 16–21 , esters 26–30 and thiolesters 31–37 , respectively. Alternate routes for the synthesis of hydrazide 15 , acetamides and acetanilides 22–25 and thiolesters 35–36 are described.

Synthesis and isomeric conversions of several 2-substituted 1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives

Ethyl ester derivatives of 6- and 8-substituted 2-methyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids have been synthesized by treatment of the diethyl ester of acetylmalonic acid with 2- or 4-substituted anilines. Condensation of these newly synthesized quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde resulted in the formation of 6- and 8-substituted 2-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)-vinyl]-1, 4-dihydro-4-oxo-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids and ethyl esters of 6- and 8-substituted 2-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)vinyl]-4-acetoxy-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids. The tautomeric and conformational transformations of these newly synthesized compounds have also been investigated, using IR, NMR, and UV spectroscopy.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 931–938, July, 1988.     

Synthesis and glutamate-agonistic activity of (S)-2-amino-3-(2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-3-isoxazolyl)-propanoic acid derivatives.

(S)-2-Amino-3-(2,5-dihydro-5-oxo-3-isoxazolyl)propanoic acid, (3a) and its analogs (3b--h) were prepared and evaluated for glutamate receptor-agonistic and antifungal activities. Several (S)- and (R)-2-amino-3-isoxazolylpropanoic acid derivatives (3a--d) were synthesized starting with (S)- and (R)-N-tert-butoxycarbonyaspartic acid alpha-methyl esters (4, n = 1) by means of Masamune's chain extension reaction followed by isoxazolone formation with hydroxylamine and subsequent deprotection reactions. Furthermore, (S)- and (R)-N-tert-butoxycarbonylglutamic acid alpha-methyl esters (4, n = 2) were converted to (S)- and (R)-2-amino-4-isoxazolylbutyric acid derivatives (3e-h) via the same sequence of reactions.     

CCR5 antagonists as anti-HIV-1 agents. 1. Synthesis and biological evaluation of 5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxamide derivatives

A novel lead compound, N-(3-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)piperidin-1-yl]propyl)-1-methyl-5-oxo-N-phenylpyrrolidine-3-carboxamide (1), was identified as a CCR5 antagonist by high-throughput screening using [(125)I]RANTES and CCR5-expressing CHO cells. The IC(50) value of 1 was 1.9 microM. In an effort to improve the binding affinity of 1, a series of 5-oxopyrrolidine-3-carboxamides was synthesized. Introduction of 3,4-dichloro substituents to the central phenyl ring (10i, IC(50)=0.057 microM; 11b, IC(50)=0.050 microM) or replacing the 1-methyl group of the 5-oxopyrrolidine moiety with a 1-benzyl group (12e, IC(50)=0.038 microM) was found to be effective for improving CCR5 affinity. Compound 10i, 11b, and 12e also inhibited CCR5-using HIV-1 envelope-mediated membrane fusion with IC(50) values of 0.44, 0.19, and 0.49 microM, respectively.

Novel synthesis of 3,4-dihydro-5-bromo[1,4]oxazin-2-one derivatives,new protease inhibitor scaffold

We designed and synthesized a new class of serine protease inhibitors based on the oxazinone core. To this end, we first developed a short and efficient route to synthesize a new 3,4-dihydro[1,4]oxazin-2-one ring. Then we successfully synthesised the corresponding 5-bromo derivatives which have never been reported before, and demonstrated their inhibitory activities on alpha-chymotrypsin.
