- A ring opening reaction of benzisothiazolones. A new route to unsymmetrical disulfides
-
A series of unsymmetrical disulfides has been prepared by employing a reaction involving a ring opening, nucleophilic attack of a thiol on a 1,2- benzisothiazol-3-one. The benzisothiazolones were in turn prepared by an intramolecular ring closure of an am

- Modulation of disulfide dual ENKephalinase inhibitors (DENKIs) activity by a transient N-protection for pain alleviation by oral route
-
The endogenous opioid system, essentially constituted by two opioid receptors which are stimulated by the natural internal effectors enkephalins (Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin), is present at the different sites (peripheral, spinal, central) of the control of pain. We have demonstrated that the protection of the enkephalin inactivation by the two metallopeptidases (neprilysin and neutral aminopeptidase) increases their local concentration selectively induced by pain stimuli triggering analgesic responses. With the aim of increasing the orally antinociceptive responses of the previously described disulfide DENKIs (NH3+CH(R1)CH2-S-S-CH2-C(R2R3)CONHCH(R4)COOR5), we designed new pro-drugs, in the same chemical series, with a transient protection of the free amino group by an acyloxyalkyl carbamate, giving rise to ((CH3)2CHCO2CH(CH3)OCONHCH(R1)CH2-S-S-CH2-C(R2R3)CONHCH(R4)COOR5) pro-drugs 2a-2g. These compounds were easily prepared from their parent analogs, with a good yield. They were tested per os and shown to be highly efficient in peripherally-controlled inflammatory and neuropathic pain with long lasting effects but completely inactive in the acute centrally-controlled hot plate test, a model of pain by excess of nociception. This demonstrates that DENKIs are able to relieve pain at its source thanks to the increase of enkephalin levels.

- New orally active dual enkephalinase inhibitors (DENKIs) for central and peripheral pain treatment
-
Protecting enkephalins, endogenous opioid peptides released in response to nociceptive stimuli, is an innovative approach for acute and neuropathic pain alleviation. This is achieved by inhibition of their enzymatic degradation by two membrane-bound Zn-metallopeptidases, neprilysin (NEP, EC 3.4.24.11) and aminopeptidase N (APN, EC 3.4.11.2). Selective and efficient inhibitors of both enzymes, designated enkephalinases, have been designed that markedly increase extracellular concentrations and half-lives of enkephalins, inducing potent antinociceptive effects. Several chemical families of Dual ENKephalinase Inhibitors (DENKIs) have previously been developed but devoid of oral activity. We report here the design and synthesis of new pro-drugs, derived from co-drugs combining a NEP and an APN inhibitor through a disulfide bond with side chains improving oral bioavailability. Their pharmacological properties were assessed in various animal models of pain targeting central and/or peripheral opioid systems. Considering its efficacy in acute and neuropathic pain, one of these new DENKIs, 19-IIIa, was selected for clinical development.

- A General Strategy for Elaboration of the Dithiocarbonyl Functionality, -(C=O)SS-: Application to the Synthesis of Bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane and Related Derivatives of Thiocarbonic Acids
-
A variety of sulfenyl chlorides have been reacted with a variety of alkoxythiocarbonyl compounds to give adducts which then lose (spontaneously, or upon thermolysis, or in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst) the alkyl chloride to provide an assortment of dithiocarbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields.The preparations of bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane (1), ((trichloromethyl)dithio)carbonyl chloride (2), ((alkoxycarbonyl)dithio)carbonyl chlorides (3 and 4), and (((alkylthio)carbonyl)dithio)carbonyl chlorides (5 and 6) by this methodology were optimized; some of the (alkoxydichloromethyl)disulfanyl adducts, e.g., ROCCl2SS(C=O)Cl (10) and ROCCl2SS(C=O)OR'(54), were reasonable stable and could be isolated.All new compounds were characterized by analytical data, 1H and 13C NMR, IR, UV, and mass spectrometry, and high-yield derivatizations with alcohols or N-methylaniline.The reaction with N-methylaniline was also adapted to a rapid, convenient, and precise analytical-scale assay of mixtures of compounds containing acid chloride and/or sulfenyl chloride functionalities.The kinetics, mechanism, and stereochemistry of the dithiocarbonyl synthesis are discussed.
