- TC-2559: A novel orally active ligand selective at neuronal acetylcholine receptors
-
TC-2559 [(E)-N-Methyl-4-[3-(5-ethoxypyridin)yl]-3-buten-1-amine] is a novel nicotinic agonist markedly more selective than recently reported novel nicotinic receptor ligands (selectivity ratio for central nervous system (CNS) to peripheral nervous system (PNS) > 4000). TC-2559 competes effectively with [3H]-nicotine binding (K(i) = 5 nM) but not with [125I]-bungarotoxin (> 50,000 nM). Dopamine release from striatal synaptosomes and ion flux from thalamic synaptosomes indicate that TC-2559 is potent and efficacious in the activation of CNS receptors and significantly reduced glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in vitro. TC-2559 has no detectable effects on muscle and ganglion-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at concentrations up to 1 mM. TC-2559 significantly attenuates scopolamine-induced cognitive deficits in a step-through passive avoidance task. Acute and repeated oral dosing of TC-2559 enhances performance in a radial arm maze task. In contrast to the effects of equimolar concentrations of (-) nicotine, TC-2559 does not induce hypothermia and locomotor activity is not enhanced following repeated daily administration of 14 days. TC-2559 has a markedly enhanced CNS-PNS selectivity ratio and an intra-CNS selectivity as evidenced by the improved cognition without increased locomotor activity. The in vitro and in vivo studies in the present study suggest that TC-2559 has the desired profile to be further evaluated as a potential therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases.

- Fine-tuning the selectivity of aldosterone synthase inhibitors: Structure-activity and structure-selectivity insights from studies of heteroaryl substituted 1,2,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,2,1- ij ]quinolin-4-one derivatives
-
Pyridine substituted 3,4-dihydro-1H-quinolin-2-ones (e.g., 1-3) constitute a class of highly potent and selective inhibitors of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2), a promising target for the treatment of hyperaldosteronism, congestive heart failure, and myocardial fibrosis. Among these, ethyl-substituted 3 possesses high selectivity against CYP1A2. Rigidification of 3 by incorporation of the ethyl group into a 5- or 6-membered ring affords compounds with a pyrroloquinolinone or pyridoquinolinone molecular scaffold (e.g., 4 and 5). It was found that these molecules are even more potent and selective CYP11B2 inhibitors than their corresponding open-chain analogues. Moreover, pyrroloquinolinone 4 exhibits no inhibition of the six most important hepatic CYP enzymes as well as a bioavailability in the range of the marketed drug fadrozole. The SAR studies disclose that subtle changes in the heterocyclic moiety are responsible for either a strong or a weak inhibition of the highly homologous 11-hydroxylase (CYP11B1). These results are not only important for fine-tuning the selectivity of CYP11B2 inhibitors but also for the development of selective CYP11B1 inhibitors that are of interest for the treatment of Cushing's syndrome and metabolic syndrome.

- Octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole: A diamine scaffold for construction of either α4β2 or α7-selective nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) ligands. Substitutions that switch subtype selectivity
-
A series of 5-(pyridine-3-yl)octahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles have been prepared that exhibit high affinity to α4β2 and/or α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). Simple substitution patterns have been identified that allow construction of ligands that are highly selective for either nAChR subtype. The effects of substitution on subtype selectivity provide some insight into the differences in the ligand binding domains of the α4β2 and R7 receptors, especially in regions removed from the cation binding pocket.

- Overcoming undesirable CYP1A2 inhibition of pyridylnaphthalene-type aldosterone synthase inhibitors: Influence of heteroaryl derivatization on potency and selectivity
-
Recently, we reported on the development of potent and selective inhibitors of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) for the treatment of congestive heart failure and myocardial fibrosis. A major drawback of these nonsteroidal compounds was a strong inhibition of the hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP1A2. In the present study, we examined the influence of substituents in the heterocycle of lead structures with a naphthalene molecular scaffold to overcome this unwanted side effect. With respect to CYP11B2 inhibition, some substituents induced a dramatic increase in inhibitory potency. The methoxyalkyl derivatives 22 and 26 are the most potent CYP11B2 inhibitors up to now (IC50 = 0.2 nM). Most compounds also clearly discriminated between CYP11B2 and CYP11B1, and the CYP1A2 potency significantly decreased in some cases (e.g., isoquinoline derivative 30 displayed only 6% CYP1A2 inhibition at 2 μM concentration). Furthermore, isoquinoline derivative 28 proved to be capable of passing the gastrointestinal tract and reached the general circulation after peroral administration to male Wistar rats.

- THE USE OF N-ARYL DIAZASPIRACYCLIC COMPOUNDS IN THE TREATMENT OF ADDICTION
-
Compounds, compositions and methods for treating drug addiction, nicotine addiction, and/or obesity are disclosed. The compounds are N-aryl diazaspirocyclic compounds, bridged analogs of N-heteraryl diazaspirocyclic compounds, or prodrugs or metabolites of these compounds. The aryl group can be a five- or six-membered heterocyclic ring (heteroaryl). The compounds are effective at inhibiting dopamine production and/or secretion, and accordingly are effective at inhibiting the physiological "reward" process that is associated with ingestion of nicotine and/or illicit drugs. The compounds and compositions can be administered in effective amounts to inhibit dopamine release, wihout resulting in appreciable adverse side effects (e.g., side effects such as significant increases in blood pressure and heart rate, significant negative effects upon the gastro-intestinal tract, and significant effects upon skeletal muscle).
