- Synthesis and biological evaluation of substituted 4-(OBz)phenylalanine derivatives as novel N-type calcium channel blockers
-
Selective N-type Voltage Activated Calcium Channel (VACC) blockers have shown utility in several models of stroke and pain. In the process of searching for small molecules as N-type calcium channel blockers, we have identified a series of N,N-dialkylpeptidylamines (e.g., PD 175069) with potent functional activity at N-type VACC. Further modification of the leucine moiety of PD 175069 with a cyclized ring structure provides a series of novel molecules. Syntheses and pharmacological evaluation of the series are presented.

- An Improved Synthesis of Homoproline and Derivatives
-
An improved, general synthesis of substituted homoprolines has been developed by using readily available substituted pyridines (1).A key step in this synthetic procedure involves the known conversion of pyridine-N-oxides to 2-cyanopyridines (3) in nearly quantitative yields.The resulting nitriles are hydrolyzed to the corresponding pyridine-2-carboxylic acids (4).Subsequent reduction of the aromatic ring with PtO2/H2 gives the homoprolines (5) in good yields as racemic cis isomers.This procedure also can be utilized for the preparation of 5,6-benzohomoprolines fromthe appropriate quinoline precursors.The N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) derivatives of these amino acids (useful intermediates for peptide synthesis) were also prepared in good yields.
