- Synthesis and antifungal activities of novel 2-aminotetralin derivatives
-
Novel 2-aminotetralin derivatives were synthesized as antifungal agents. The 2-aminotetralin scaffold was chemically designed to mimic the tetrahydroisoquinoline ring of the lead molecule described before. Their antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Compounds 10a, 12a, 12c, 13b, and 13d are more potent than fluconazole against seven testing human fungal pathogens. Compound 10b exhibits much higher antifungal activities against all of the four fluconazole-resistant clinic Candida albicans strains than the control drugs including amphotericin B, terbinafine, ketoconazole, and itraconazole. The mode of action of some compounds to the potential receptor lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) was investigated by molecular docking. The studies presented here provide a new structural type for the development of novel antifungal compounds. Furthermore, 10b was evaluated in vivo by a rat vaginal candidiasis model, and it was found that 10b significantly decreases the number of fungal colony counts.

- 2-Amido-8-methoxytetralins: A Series of Nonindolic Melatonin-like Agents
-
A series of unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted 2-amidotetralins (4a-q) was prepared and evaluated for their ability to complete for 2-iodomelatonin binding to chicken retinal membranes and for their potency to inhibit the calcium-dependent release of dopamine from rabbit retina.The lead compound, 2-acetamido-8-methoxytetralin (4j), showed a moderate affinity (Ki = 46 nM) and potency (IC50 = 1.4 nM) at the melatonin receptor.The structural requirements necessary for optimal agonistic activity at the melatonin receptor are as follows.First, the amido group, which should have a small, nonbranched alkyl group, is essential for affinity, and second, the methoxy substituent at the 8-position of the 2-amidotetralin ring is essential for optimal agonistic activity at the melatonin receptor.We concluded that this series of unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted 2-amidotetralins constitutes a class of nonindolic melatonin-like agents that can be used as pharmacological tools to further characterize melatonin receptors and to elucidate the mode of action of melatonin.

- Fluorescent Probes for Dopamine Receptors: Synthesis and Characterization of Fluorescein and 7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl Conjugates of D-1 and D-2 Receptor Ligands
-
Fluorescent probes have been designed and developed for dopamine D-1 and D-2 receptors.Fluorescein and/or NBD (7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)derivatives of PPHT (D-2 agonist), spiperone (D-2 antagonist), SKF 38393 (D-1 agonist), and SKF 83566 (D-1 antagonist) were synthesized via their amino-functionalized analogues and all ligands were pharmacologically evaluated by measuring their ability to displace SCH 23390 and 3H)spiperone from D-1 and D-2 receptor sites in caudate putamen of monkeys (Macaca fascicularis).The fluorescein derivatives of PPHT andSKF 83566 and the NBD derivatives of spiperone and SKF 83566 retained the high affinity and selectivity of parent ligands.The NBD derivatives of PPHT showed higher D-2 receptor affinity and selectivity than their parent ligands.The enantiomers of the fluorescent derivatives of PPHT were also synthesized and were found to exhibit stereoselectivity in binding to the D-2 receptor, with the S enantiomers having a considerably higher affinity than their R analogues.In contrast to these results, the fluorescein derivative of SKF 38393 showed only a low affinity for the D-1 receptor.These fluorescein- and NBD-coupled D-1 and D-2 receptor ligands have considerable significance as potential probes in the study of distribution of the receptors at the cellular/subcellular level and of their mobility in membranes in normal/diseased states by use of fluorescence microscopic and fluorescence photobleaching recovery techniques, respectively.The development of these novel fluorescent probes should also provide new leads for the design and synthesis of additional fluorescent ligands with better fluorescent properties and/or higher affinity/selectivity for the DA receptors.
