We report the chemical synthesis of Ofornine mimics from l-vasicine, structure-activity relationship studies and their in vivo screening for anti-hypertensive action in Wistar rats. It was observed that most of the analogs possessed anti-hypertensive effect; however, the duration of the effect was variable and mostly transient. The results demonstrated that the analogs 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 showed a sharp and significant decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure for 30–60 min after intravenous administration. Analog (S)-(3-hydroxypyrrolidin-1-yl)(2-(pyridin-4-ylamino)phenyl)methanone (8) showed a significant decrease in blood pressure in a dose dependent manner whose maximal response lowered to 79.29 ± 4.26 mmHg of SBP and 62.55 ± 2.9 of DBP at 10 mg/kg intravenous dose. Further, the significant anti-hypertensive effect of 8 lasted for about 2.5 h at 10 mg/kg dose. We also evaluated the acute toxicity of the analog 8 as per the OECD guidelines and the compound was found to be safe up to the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight. These preclinical findings suggest that the analog 8 could be considered as a promising lead and a durable anti-hypertensive drug candidate and deserves further investigation. The SAR studies clearly showed that the amide, hydroxyl and pyridine ring plays important role in showing the activity.

A facile and scalable methodology for the preparation of optically active (3S)-1-benzylpyrrolidin-3-ol (3), an important drug precursor, is reported. Starting from the naturally occurring alkaloid (-)-vasicine (1), a major alkaloid of the plant Adhatoda vasica, 3 was obtained in 84% overall yield (Scheme 3). Copyright

The present invention relates to a facile, highly efficient and economical process for the preparation of optically active N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine in high yield from a naturally occurring alkaloid vasicine. The natural alkaloid vasicine is used as a precursor of (S)-N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine and (R)-N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidines which can easily be sourced from the medicinal plant Adatoda vasica by the method known in the art and transformed to optical isomers (R) and (S)-N-benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine by the method described in the present invention.
