Conformationally Restricted Fentanyl Analogs
Synthesis, analgesic activity and preliminary molecular modeling studies of the cisand trans-fused octahydro-l,2,3,4,4a,5,11,1 la-pyrido[3,4-c][1,5]benzoxazepines 8 and 9, the first rigid fentanyl analogs with a conformationally restricted 4-anilido group that retain antinociceptive properties, are reported. Fentanyl (1) is the prototype of the highly potent 4-anilidopiperidine class of synthet...
متن کاملConformationally restricted calpain inhibitors.
The cysteine protease calpain-I is linked to several diseases and is therefore a valuable target for inhibition. Selective inhibition of calpain-I has proved difficult as most compounds target the active site and inhibit a broad spectrum of cysteine proteases as well as other calpain isoforms. Selective inhibitors might not only be potential drugs but should act as tools to explore the physiolo...
متن کاملStructural determinants of conformationally selective, prion-binding aptamers.
We have recently described the isolation of 2'-fluoropyrimidine-substituted RNA aptamers that bind selectively to disease-associated beta-sheet-rich forms of the prion protein, PrP, from a number of mammalian species. These aptamers inhibit the accumulation of protease-resistant forms of PrP in a prion-seeded, in vitro conversion assay. Here we identify the minimal portions of two of these apta...
متن کاملStereoselectivity of Conformationally Restricted Glucosazide Donors
Glycosylations of 4,6-tethered glucosazide donors with a panel of model acceptors revealed the effect of acceptor nucleophilicity on the stereoselectivity of these donors. The differences in reactivity among the donors were evaluated in competitive glycosylation reactions, and their relative reactivities were found to be reflected in the stereoselectivity in glycosylations with a set of fluorin...
متن کاملSynthesis and In Vitro Leishmanicidal Effects of Conformationally Restricted Analogues of Pentamidine
Four conformationally restricted analogues of pentamidine were prepared. Then, different concentrations (0.039, 0.078, 0.156, 0.312 and 0.625 mg/mL) of each compound and two positive controls (amphotericin B and pentamidine, 0.625 mg/mL), one negative control (culture medium) and one solvent control (DMSO) were prepared and placed in 24-well plates containing 50000 parasite per well. Promastigo...
