- Asymmetric Synthesis of Fused Polycyclic Indazoles through Aminocatalyzed Aza-Michael Addition/Intramolecular Cyclization
-
The first example of an asymmetric aminocatalyzed aza-Michael addition of 1H-indazole derivatives to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes is described. The iminium/enamine cascade process lies at the heart of our strategy, leading to enantioenriched fused polycyclic indazole architectures. Variations on both the α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and the indazole-7-carbaldehyde heterocycles were studied in order to broaden the scope of the transformation in synthetically interesting directions. The fused polycyclic indazoles exhibit fluorescence properties and can undergo synthetic transformations.

- Synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of N-benzyl substituted 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamines as 5-HT2A/2C partial agonists
-
N-Benzyl substitution of phenethylamine 5-HT2A receptor agonists has dramatic effects on binding affinity, receptor selectivity and agonist activity. In this paper we examine how affinity for the 5-HT2A/2C receptors are influenced by N-benzyl substitution of 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine derivatives. Special attention is given to the 2′ and 3′-position of the N-benzyl as such compounds are known to be very potent. We found that substitutions in these positions are generally well tolerated. The 2′-position was further examined using a range of substituents to probe the hydrogen bonding requirements for optimal affinity and selectivity, and it was found that small changes in the ligands in this area had a profound effect on their affinities. Furthermore, two ligands that lack a 2′-benzyl substituent were also found to have high affinity contradicting previous held notions. Several high-affinity ligands were identified and assayed for functional activity at the 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor, and they were generally found to be less efficacious agonists than previously reported N-benzyl phenethylamines.
