- Synthesis and evaluation of nuciferine and roemerine enantiomers as 5-HT2 and α1 receptor antagonists
-
In this study, the (S)-enantiomers of the aporphine alkaloids, nuciferine and roemerine, were prepared via a synthetic route involving catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and both stereoisomers were evaluated in vitro for functional activity at human 5-HT2 and adrenergic α1 receptor subtypes using a transforming growth factor-α shedding assay. Both enantiomers of each of the compounds were found to act as antagonists at 5-HT2 and α1 receptors. (R)-roemerine was the most potent compound at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptors (pKb = 7.8-7.9) with good selectivity compared to (S)-roemerine at these two receptors and compared to its activity at 5-HT2B, α1A, α1B and α1D receptors.

- Aporphine alkaloid synthesis and diversification via direct arylation
-
Palladium-catalyzed direct arylation of aryl chlorides, bromides and iodides has been applied to the preparation of new aporphine analogues including C2-substituted aporphines by reaction with benzodioxole, pyridine N-oxide and pyrazine N-oxide. Successful application of direct arylation in these diversification reactions highlights its utility not only in convergent, but also in divergent synthesis. We also describe enantioselective syntheses of (R)-nornuciferine and (R)-nuciferine employing a catalytic asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in high yield and excellent enantiomeric excess.

- A variation of the Pictet-Spengler reaction via a sequential reduction-cyclization reaction of N-acylcarbamates: synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives
-
A new variation of the Pictet-Spengler reaction for the synthesis of 1-substituted tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives has been developed. The reaction employs the reduction of N-acylcarbamates by DIBAL-H followed by simultaneous cyclization mediated by BF3·OEt2. The synthetic potential of this method has been illustrated by the synthesis of the tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, (±)-xylopinine, (±)-laudanosine, (±)-8-oxo-O-methylbharatamine, and (±)-isoindoloisoquinolone.

-
Pyrrolo-benzylisoquinolines were prepared as target compounds and their antiplatelet aggregation activity, adreno-receptor affinity, and cytotoxicity were screened. Compounds 1d-9d showed specific antiplatelet aggregation activity induced by arachidonic acid and collagen. Among them, 8d and 9d exhibited better activity than the reference drug, aspirin and 9d also showed inhibition of platelet aggregation by all four inducers.
