- A one pot protocol to convert nitro-arenes into: N-aryl amides
-
A two-step one pot, experimentally simple protocol, based on readily available and inexpensive reagents allowed the conversion of nitro-arenes directly to N-aryl amides. A metal-free reduction of the nitro group, mediated by trichlorosilane, followed by the addition of an anhydride afforded the corresponding N-aryl carboxyamide, that was isolated after a simple aqueous work up in good-excellent yields. When the methodology was applied to the reaction with γ-butyrolactone, the desired N-aryl butanamide derivative was obtained, featuring a chlorine atom at the γ-position, a functionalized handle that can be used for further synthetic manipulation of the reaction product. Such an intermediate has already been employed as a key advanced precursor of pharmaceutically active compounds.

- Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of benzamide derivatives as potent and selective sigma-1 protein ligands
-
A series of novel benzamide-derived compounds was designed, synthesized and pharmacologically evaluated. Among all 37 synthesized compounds, two series were developed with the modulation of the nature, the position of atoms or groups on the benzamide scaffold, but also the nature of the amine group separated from the benzamide with 2, 3 or 4 methylene groups. In vitro competition binding assays against sigma proteins (sigma-1 S1R and sigma-2 S2R) revealed that most of them conferred S2R/S1R selectivity toward without cytotoxic effects on SY5Y cells, especially with the first series with compounds 7a-z. Some selected compounds were also evaluated for their agonist and antagonist activities on a panel of 40 receptors. Results showed the importance of the nature and the position with halogeno atom on the benzamide scaffold, the length chain but also the contribution of the hydrophobic part on the amine group. Among them, compounds 7i, w, y with Cl, CN or NO2 groups at the 4-position of the benzamide scaffold showed excellent affinity for S1R (Ki = 1.2–3.6 nM), selectivity for S2R (Ki up to 1400 nM) and high selectivity index (IC50(SY5Y)/Ki (S1R) ratio from 28 000 to 83 000). Futhermore, these compounds presented an excellent safety profile over 40 other receptors. These derivatives will be selected for further biological investigations.

- New synthetic routes for N-substituted 1,n-diamines. II. Synthesis of selectively N-substituted tetra- and pentamethylenediamines from ω-alkanoic acid derivatives
-
A new approach for the synthesis of selectively N-substituted tetra- and pentamethylenediamines 1 (n = 4,5) is described. The method uses N-substituted ω-haloalkanamides 2 as precursors and involves the microwave-promoted conversion into ω-azidocarboxamides 3 and later the reduction of both azido and carboxamide groups with diborane.
